conditions both sides ceased arguing,
and the spot remained unmarked.
The grounds are rapidly being inn
proved, and there are beautiful ave.
nues-named for Sickles and other
prominent soldiers-which wind in
and out through meadows or wood
land, and follow the course Of battle.
One of them leads past the ''Devils
Den," mass of colossal rocks, resting
in natural poses, where some north
ern sharpshooters congregatedl and
made bloody havoc in the opposing
ranks.
Some of the Gettysburg people are
fond of calling John Burns their
'"hero." Burns was an old man of 70
years at the time of the great battle,
who lived with his wife in modest
cottage. Aged though he was, he sal
lied forth to join the fighting men.
When evening came his friends, anx-
ious for his safety, went in search Of
him. He was found severely wounded,
recovered before long and lived to
tell the story of his great experience.
Strange as it appears, when one visits
Gettysburg and sees the traces Of
warfare throughout the town-the
numerous bullet and shell holes still
remaining in doors and walls-only
one citizen of the town wa killed dur
ing the three days. struggle, and she
a young woman of 20. Jennie Wade
was in attendance upon a sick sister
when the sharpshooter's bullet killed
her. In the course of a conscientious
but somewhat scantily rewarded
search for heroism, as it was displayed
in Gettysburg itself, the people have
now put up monument to Jennie
Wade in the City cemetery.

Queen of the Night.

That a large proportion of crea-
lures with gorgeous wings were not
made for mans special delectation is
proved by the fact that so many of
our most beautiful moths fly only at
night. Therefore is it that he who,
in an afternoon ramble, discovers the
great Luna moth clinging to some
twig like a splendid leaf, always re-
CARDS the event as an original dis
covery, and honestly believes that no
one ever had such an experience be-
fore. So perfectly does its color pro-
tect it from careless eyes in its leaf
hiding place that it is rarely found
in daylight, although it is very
common insect. At night it may
more often be seen lowering near q
light like the ghost of some great
passion flower, and inspiring the be-
holder with thrill of wonder that
is akin to awe. Viewed closely, il is
easy to- understand why this moth
has been called "queen of the night; y
the ermine-clothed body, the green
robe bordered with purple and en-
broidered with eyespots and pro-
longed into train, all indicate royal

HALF-DONE WORK.
The Habit Should BE Formed Early
i'm Life to Finish Everything
When Started.

The extravaganza and waste of do
ing work badly are most lamenta BILE.
We can never over-estimate the value,
in a succes sful life, of an early formed
habit of doing everything to finish,
and thus relieving ourselves of the ne
cessity of doing things more than
once. Oh, the waste in half-done, care
less, patched work!
The extravaganza and loss resulting
from slip-shod education is almost
beyond computation. TO be under the
necessity, all through ones life, of
patching up, of having to do over
again, half-done and botched work, is
not only source of terrible waste,
but the subsequent loss of self-respect
and life is also very great, says Sue
cess. .....-
There is great economy in putting
the highest possible personal invest
ment in everything we do. Any thor
oughness of effort which raises per-
sonal power to higher value is judi
cious expenditure of individual effort.
Do not be afraid to show thorough
ness in VIVA tever you undertake. Thor
oughness is a great quality when once
mastered. It makes all work easier,
and brings to life more sunshine.

the positions of the confederates' are
marked only. by living timber and by
modest tablets, placed, by the govern

a bit of friction between the northern
and southern ex-soldiers over some
mooted points in the history of the
battle, and this has acted very dis
couragingly upon whatever intention
there may have been to stimulate the
accumulation of confederate monu-
ments. In one instance the ex-confed-
crates claimed to have "taken" GER

MAN WITH A BIG VOICE.
Tale of a Maine Member of the House
of Congress That Is Related
by Himself.

grouped IN the LOBBY one warm DAY,
taking in the. light, southerly breeze,
were half dozen of the house leaders.
Then and there the ''spellbinders'
trust" was formed. The coming cam
paign and the probable amount of
speaking that would be required were
discussed at length, and then the men,
bers of the trust drifted into anec-
dotes of the stump, says Washington
correspondent of the New York Her
aid.
Charles Littlefield, of Maine, led off.
''I'm going to tell one on myself" said
he, and soon he had a large and in
creasing audience, including pages and
doorkeepers. Mr.. Litlefi eld's voice, it
must be remembered, is famous from
Seattle to Eastport, and his constitu-
ents in Maine insist that they can
hear the milling when he speaks in
the house.
''It was up in Buffalo in the '96 cam
paign," he continued. "A local lawyer
and I had been assigned to a big meet
ing over on the tough side of the city.
The local man, who was evidently max
ing his first campaign appearance, was
introduced first, and proceeded to
draw from his inside pocket manu-
script, from which he started to
read.
''It was pretty hard crowd, taken
all together, but at the same time they
were a bright lot and up to date. My
friend read on for some 20 minutes un-
der grcat difficulty, and then the crowd
began to cheer and shout in derision.
Nothing like this, however, could stop
him. All kinds of questions were fired
at him, but he paid no attention, and
continued to read off long lists of sta
tistics. At last the chairman of the
meeting signaled the leader of the
band to start up. The band played
Home, Sweet Home as a gentle hint,
but the speaker only waited until it
finished, and then continued. At the
end of an hour of the worst rot I ever
heard, my ambitious friend closed in
what he tn ought was blaze of glory:
"Three cheers for the speaker-for
fnishing" some one yelled.
"Three cheers were given, and then
was introduced. 1t was a tough prop
osition, but I jollied along with the
crowd for some Is minutes, and then
launched into what I thought was my
best line of talk. 1 finished all right,
and the chairman said had made
hit.
'In driving to the hotel after the
meeting the local speaker said to me:
Mr.. Littlefeld, if I only had your
voice, with what have to say, would
be a wonder.
Just then a roll call was announced,
and the trust adjourned.

Hand of man or kiss of woman!
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? He cannot know;
Lay him low!
Az man may, he fought his fight,
Proved his truth by his endeavor:
Let him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay him low,

What cares he? He cannot know;
Lay him low! "

Roll the drum and fire the volley!
What to him are all our wars,
What but death bemocking folly?

west. A confederate sharpshooter,
so posted in tree that he could see
to the rear of our breastworks, made
line shot to catch all of the three.
He aimed we'll, but not we'll enough

Barnett's battery, company l of the
Second Illinois light artillery, upset
the plans of squad of confederate
sharpshooters. Off to our right
front was a ravine extending TO the
east in which were several large pine
trees, all in good rifle range of the
battery. A confederate sharpshooter
climbed one of the trees in order to
pick off some of the battery boys.
He had made few good shots when
Capt. Barnett located him. sighted
a gun himself, and cut the tree
square. off about 20 feet below the
shooter. That stopped all attempts
that day to pick off the men of the
battery.
"While this same battery was in

fire of the confederate artillery.

would fire there would come from a

Barnett ordered his boys to change

were instructed to load and fire as
fast as possible, and to keep it up

fire was so terrific and so unexpeo ted

MONUMENTS AT GETTYSBURG.
A Thrilling War Incident Is Striking
~ CommemOrated by One
of Them.

| Whatever may be ones views az
to the ethical side of Al project tc
preserve and immortaliZe battlefield
OF the civil war, the field of north
ern victory, it must be conceded that
the government is slowly making OF
Gettysburg a most interesting and
in way, instructive memorial of the
great fight. The approach to the
town by rail is made, picturesque by
the sudden appearance of equestrian
and other statuary marking various
points. of military interest, and stu
ated apparently at haphazard' in field
! or meadow, producing an effect ia ther
startling to the unaccustomed Ameri-
can eye. When it is remembered that
over 100, 900 men were engaged ON both
sides in the three. days struggle, it is
not surprising to note that the field
itself comprises 10000 acres, exclusive
of the cavalry battlefield, which is
situated about four miles, to the east.
The country is rolling and picturesque,
and the views from the many observa-
ton towers, of iron work, which have
been erected at frequent intervals, are
ma gnifcent in extent and beauty. The
great stretch of battlefield is dotted
with monuments, of which no less
than 470 have. now been erected. In
dividual regiments have placed stones
to mark their positions during the
fight, and some of these are very good
representations in bronze and stone
of sharpshooters and kindred sub
jects, writes Louise Morgan Sill, in
Harper's Weekly.
One of the most interesting of the
private monuments, and a fair eX-
ample: of the kind that is being erect
ed, is the shaft which bears the life
size bronze figure of a union officer
named Brown. Brown, in an excess
of zeal, Gisobeyed orders, and was
thereupon relieved of his sword.
Grasping a Ratchet, he rushed, un-
daunted, into the midst of the hot
struggle, never slackening his impet-
uous onslaught until he had wre he'd
another sword from the hand of a con-
federate officer, with which weapon
he continued his intrepid attack on
the enemy. The monument represents
him holding the confederate's sword,
the Ratchet lying at his feet.
The governments monuments, as
should be expected, are more costly
and impressive. There is a $4,000
shaft 60 feet in height, surmounted
by a figure of Liberty, and having
marbles of war, history, peace and
plenty at the base, which marks the
spot where Lincoln delivered his i'm
mortal speech when the National
cemetery was dedicated on Cemetery
hill in 1868. There are also equestrian
