BREAK COMES AT CHICAGO.
Twelve Amaleamated Men Go Out.
Shaffer Wired to Como.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-A decided selsa-
ton was created last night among
the steel workers in the Iliionis Steel
mills at South Chicago. when IL of the
Amalgamated men quit work and de-
cided to join the strikers. These men
heretofore have steadfastly refused to
strike. AS soon as Vice President
Davis of the Fourth district was in
formed of the step these men had
taken. he wired President Shaffer that
if he would come to Chicago at once
ard call a joint meeting of the local
lodges, the remainder OF the men EN-.
ployed in the South Chicago plant
could be induced to strike.

How a Brave Young Confederate
Got His wedding Suit.

How a Brave Young Confederate
Got His Wedding Suit.
There were often both pathetic and
amusing incidents connected with
marriages in the South during the war
Of the sixties. An Interesting story
of brave young Confederate SOL
diers wedding suit is contributed by
IN. l.. b." of Anderson, S. c., to the
Confederate Veteran, as follows:
At the age of 16 Clifton A. Reed, of
this city, son of the late Judge ]. P.
Reed, volunteered in Company A, Tren-
holms Squadron of Cavalry, c. S. A,
and served with splendid gallantry un-
til 1854, when he lost his right ar-zl
at the battle of Hawe's Shop. The
manner of his wounding was remark
able. 1t fell to his lot to hold horses.
In the hight of the battle one of his
comrades came out and said to him:
Reed my gun has got out of order;
lend me yours" This company was
armed with Sharps breech- loading car
bines, and the men were very proud of
them. To his comrades request the
gallant youth responded: Il won't let
any man have my gun; you hold these
horses, and I will take your place"
This exchange was made, and Reed
rushed into the thick of the fight,
While kneeling, and in the act of put
ting a cartridge into his rifle, MIME
ball struck his left wrist, making an
ugly wound, and then struck the right
hand ranging up through the wrist,
shattering the bones of the forearm, re-
quiring it's amputation.
The young soldier thus disable for
further service in the field, came home,
and at the age of 10 was married. See
ing this correspondent the other day
wearing suit Of homespun jeans, he
was moved to describe his wedding
suit. He said: you know it was
practically impossible to get anything
but homespun in those days, and my
old cavalry uniform was ragged, so my
mother had woven, by one of the wom-
en- on the plantation, a beautiful piece
of jeans, which she had dyed black.
OF this / had made a long-tailad coat
and pair of trousers. l borrowed
white kid glove (poor fellow, he needed
only oneD and white satin vest from
DIR. Nardin (himself a. distinguished
surgeon in the Confederate service),
and these, with pair of cowhide,
| homemade boots, constituted my we'd
ding garments" One appreciates this
now all the more when one sees Mr..
Reed, as he always is, dressed with
care and perfect taste in these days.
But he says that he never was hap
pier and prouder than when he wore
the clothes above described. And l
know this is true of his youthful and
loving bride.
Mr.. Reed has prospered in business,
and he and the bride of those Confed-
crate days are still living, handsome
and happy in the love of a large circle
of kindred and friends. Their home is
noted for the refinement and hospital
ity of its members.
When one considers that the armies
of the South were composed of young
men of the stuff of which this youth
was made, one is not surprised that it
required all the resources of the North,
backed by the whole world, an army
of two millions of men, four years
time, and untold expense to defeat
them.

No definite function has heretofore

1t has no nutritive value to the tree

Gently suggested that it is probably
intended to protect tropical trees from
