the boys of 1861, and those of the present only
needed something to bring out the reserve
force like tie boy who picked up the colors Of
his regiment and rushed out in advance of the
line amid rain OF bullets. The colonel shout
ed to the heroic youth, Bring the colors back
to the line'' II can't shouted the boy, "bring
the line up to the colOrs,' The Judge reviewed
pension matters, and paid his attention to
kickers and those who are getting tired Of the
old soldiers. His address was grand from be-
ginning to end, and we regret the lack of space
to review his speech at length. It was full Of
noble thoughts for the young men Of today and
q fitting tribute to the manhood and woman
hood OF our country. At the conclusion Of the
address the band again proved the splendid
material OF which it is composed and right here
the LEADER desires to say that Mr.. Jacobs is
leader Of rare ability. When the band ceased
playing Commander Howard announced that
the baskets would be auctioned of to the high
est bidder and it was then that Comrade Tom
Quigley displayed his fine qualities. The bask-
cts were sold rapidly and the purchaser had
he privilege of eating supper with the young
lady whose name was found Oh the inside,
J udge Palmer and Miss Minnie Gerken dined
together and the writer and Miss Lille Hammer
enjoyed the contents Of q handsome little
b asket. Tom Quigley was relieved for time
by Mr.. Barclay, and then Tom finished the
sale. Towards the end Charles Voges, jr., bid
on handsome basket. No sooner had he bid
than Art Jacobs and Editor Noahr began to
raise him. Charles thought the basket con-
tanned the name of the most charming young
lady in the county and he kept raising. The
others thought Charles knew what he was
about, so they raised him back every time until
~, oil
the name Of Miss Belle Howard, a beautiful
young ady, but Charles would have preferred
the name OF Miss Mertie Howard, but the
young ladies are sisters Charlie was not dis
couraged. After supper the dancers began to
form and away they went in glorious glee. 1t
was then that Prof Jacobs, Judge Palmer, Tom
Quigley, o. B. Gray. Sam Sutherland and the
writer adjourned to the bank to enjoy good
cigars, the result OF a raid made on Sans cigar
ca se O. B. Gray opened the ball, Jerry Wood
ley, J. A. Eddy and many Of the OF her veterans
continued the fun. Tom Quigley said he liked
to waltz mighty we'll, but he had to give it up
because he was like the country girl New
York, who said she was not much on the waltz
but the hugging was heavenly. When Jim
Madden reads this he will smile and say: 'Oh,
the old sinner" Comrade Fitzgerald enjoyed
the fun as much as any there but said he was a
little more modest than Tom. The net pro-
ceeds amounted to $,l.00, which was equally
divided between the Post and Corps. Ellsworth
Post is in f1ourishing condition, and is sup
ported by splendid relief corps. Among the
ladies prominent in the work are Mesdames.
