OF Harvard calls his %'irreverent way
OF Offering information to the Omnls-
Client" At the time when the British
troops were advancing upon Lexington
MT. Penniman prayed from his pulpit:
I'VE pray thee, o Lord, that Thou
wouldst send these British soldiers
where they will do some good, for Thou
knowest we have no use for them about
here"
During a a Of drought he prayed
eloquently that the Lord would "voucl,-i

Soon the drought was broken. DayI
after day the rain fell. The ministers
felt that the good work was being over,

throw away the stopples." |
At another time the orchards OF Har-
vard were devastated by insects. and;
the minister put up this petition:

Of the battle has been much simplified.
The old roads of the battle field have
been reopened, new roads closed, and
the work Of restoring the fields to their
condition at the time Of the battle Is
rapidly progressing. Over forty miles
OF the main roads of the field have been
rebuilt IN o substantial manner, and
this branch OF the work is nearly CON-
pleted.
Under the authority given by Con-
gress, the National Commission is pre-
pairing historical tablets for army head
quarters, corps, divisions and brigades,
on both sides, for all the fields. These
tablets will set forth the composition
and commanders Of each Of these or

400 words Of historical text. The act
Of Congress leaves 1t to the States to
erect monuments to regiments and bat.

When Colonel Patrick II. Shcvlin
went to the front, he knew very little
about war. His first big fight was at
Gettysburg. He was a little worried
about the tactics, and 30 before the
engagement began, asked his superior
officer whether the fight was going to
be helter-skelter or man for man. Man
for man." quickly qupth the officer.
Six hours afterward, when the fight
was hottest, the officer happened to 60
to the rear, and was surprised to see
Colonel Shevlin seated on the PROSTATE
body Of a soldier who wore the gray.
The Colonel looked happy, smoking a
