a gunner of the old war; was simply mag

on Cemetery hill We were running short
of ammunition when General Meade, dis
missing his staff below rode with a single
orderly to our exposed position. The boys
were all at white heat and in a state of
frenzy because the ammunition called for
had not come. They heard the quiet man
on horseback say repeatedly to the captain
that the hill must be held at all hazards.

them, but they knew that the officer, who
ever he was spoke the truth, and they be-
gan to collect the uneXploded shells that
had been fired at them by the Confederate
batteries.
There were a great many of these scat

Meade comprehended what the boys were
DONG he was greatly pleased He dis
mounted, and in quiet sort of way, pro-
eeeded to supervise the collection of shells.
ne was IN fatigue dress and wore no Shout
der straps, and none of the men recognized
him. They thought he was some ordnance
officer. and finally. when he turned his
horse over to his orderly and proceeded to
carry shells himself, they did not resent
ms supervision. AS a rule the shells were
h ne than the general expected, and he
dld not compare in efficiency with the stall
wart artillerymen rushing about with the
recklessness and energy of madmen.
John Smoker was one of the best men
in the battery but was rough in speech
and action. Seeing, as he supposed, a lieu
tenant or captain from the outside stopping
TO pick up shell, he pushed the officer
aside with the remark Get out of this. old

Meade, surprised and amused, stood aside.
few minutes later General Warren and
STAFF rode up for a conference with Meade,
and the cat was out of the bag.
Smoker was so overwhelmed with confu-
sion that he almost had a fit. The sergeant
tried to comfort him with the assurance
that General Meade would excuse informal
ity under such circumstances, but John in
sisted that what scared him was that he
never came so near kicking a man in his
life without doing it as he did General
Meade when he stopped to pick up the shell
He was grieved to think he hadn't recog-
nized Meade. and was in a panic whenever
he thought about what might have hap

some old ones reset, several taken, as the
Scotch people often do, from what is
ancient history, and just as funny in spite
of that or because of ii. Ard some heard
happen so to speak, myself.
Mr. JOhnston's summer in Aberdeenshire
has been fruitful of some very funny incl
dents on the railway trains and off, and he
tells them with that rare Scotch flavor of
accent and information about which one
never tires of taking.
Il went to the old United Presbyterian
Kirk said Mr.. Johnston, at SavOch, about
a mile from our farm, and | was reminded
of q good story about the minister some six
ty wears ago. His name was the Rev David
Cav and he was very diminutive standing
ssnly' five feet two inches. He led 10 the
altar a strapping handsome lass five or six
inches taller than he, and her name was
Grace Wilson The Sunday after the we'd
ding he got a neighboring minister 70 preach
for him 20 that he could sit with his bride
on the first Sunday. The minister was a
good deal Of a wag, so Mr.. Cav made him

War Stories Arc Now Superseded by
Works Territorial Expansion.

war stories Are NOW superseded by
Works on Territorial Expansion.
Pittsburg Dispatch
The demand for war literature at the Car
negie libraries and the big book stores have
taken new tack. A few months ago the
dealing with the progress of the Spanish
American war Books on the United States
navy were in enormous demand. Now, how
ever. the trend of the public mind is toward
late conflict. Territorial expansion, our new
possessions, new races under the American
flag, reorganization of the regular and vol
unteer armies of the United States Ameri-
can sea power. etc, now are the subjects
upon which light is demanded by American
readers.
The person who is in charge of the circu-
lating department of the Carnegie free IL
brary at Schenley Park said that the book
mostly in demand is Captain Mahans In
the masterpiece in this line by naval au-
thorities on both sides of the Atlantic. we
have posted bulletins in conspicuous places
throughout the library rooms informing
searchers after information relative to the
war and its results where such information
can be found. As yet we have not had a
great deal of call for information regarding
Cuba Porto Rico or the Philippines. We
hardly expect much until those lands are
brought to a state of order conducive to the
furtherance of American enterprise and in
vestment Of capital. The library has, how
ever laid in a few additional volumes treat
ing of the Philippines and West lnGles. AT
the reference desk it was learned that there
were not so many questions asked about
war matters as three months ago. The pub
lie was reading more and hndlng out what
books TO ask for TO obtain the desired in
formation. Still with all TINS, IL is seldom

seven times a day was the rule.
