Northern State, and likewise nearly
every Southern, was engaged at Gettys-,
burg, and at Shiloh were troops from
twenty different States, North and
South. The Battle Of Chickamauga
(September IS and 20, 1859, is re-
garded by military experts as the best
demonstration Of the pluck, endurance,
prowess and strategy of the American
soldier ever given. Measured BY per-
centages of losses and the duration of
the fighting, it was the deadiiest battle
of modern times. Its sequel and COM
panion piece, Chattanooga November

est spectacular engagement. So Gettys-

ern operations, and surprising it in
worldwide renown, registered the
highwater mark of American courage

the Western Continent. AS to Shiloh,

peculiar characteristics of the Ameri-
can soldier and his adaptability in

"Well," isn't this the other slde?"
eyes" Then, as you are here, are you
not on the other side?" why, l de-

here comes Webster, I'll win back my
bet from him." AS Daniel came up,
Branch saluted MIN with, webster,

crant,s Different Hats.

After his return from abroad Grant
had little Japanese servant, who took
charge of him as though the General
was bit of machinery and he was the
engineer. Some of the newspaper men
noticed that in the course of one trip
Grant had ON six different hats, and
they laughingly asked him what was
the significance of the change. Grant
said, "Why, I do not know; sup
posed 1 had on the same hat all the
time" Investigation brought out the
fact that the little Jap, through the
suggestion of some of the ladies OF the
party or some of the committee, had
received ideas as to what kind OF q
hat the General ought to wear at GER
tain towns. If it was college town,
Just before he arrived the little Jap
would tiptoe to the General, remove
the slouch hat, place a silk hat care
fully on the Generals head and trip
out, the General never losing word
of any conversation. At the next stop,
if it was explained to the little Jap
that it was soldier town, of would
come the silk hat and on went the
