Show Corporal Tanner's Socks. A Grand Army veteran who attends all the national encampments, tells this story of Corporal Tanner, both of whose legs, as most everybody knows, are artificial. "It was a hot night, and a crowd of us were sitling on the hotel piazza, spinning stories. Suddenly Tanner looked up and said: 'Has anybody got a couple of tacks?" "'I can get some,' said somebody 'What do you want them for?' " 'These darned st tickings of mine tcoep falling down,' said Tanner." Boston Traveler. |
