The Crown Prince received his first in

First Shot at Gettysburg.

Comrade T. G. Day, Co. e, Sd Ind
Cav. Correct. Ind, met with a number of
survivors of the regiment in Washington.
and with them later visited the battlefield
of Gettysburg. COmrade Day was on
picket line beyond WillOughby Run when
Heth's Division advanced at sunup the
morning Of July /. He believes that he
saw fired the opening shot Of the battle.
The shot, he thinks. was fired by one Of
the Illinois boys. His company (E) was
the first organized command to enter the
fight. 1t met Heth's skirmishers near the
schoolhOuse beyond WillOughby Run. A
sharp fight resulted, but the company held
the advance in check for some little time,
and when they fell back found their entire
brigade in line Of battle near where the

nection with the opening of the battle.
Maj. Lemon had commanded the pickets
during the night. He had returned to the
east side Of the bridge at wilioughby Run
and was standing under q large elm tree
when Maj. Mcclure rode out to the pick
cts. Maj. Lemon called to Maj. Mcclure,
Come, Major, have a drink with me-: it
will be the last drink you will ever take
with me. l will be a dead man before
night" At that time there was no
thought of the impending battle. Mcclure
stopped, and they both drank from the
same canteen. Mcclure continued to the
picket line, while Maj Lemon returned
to the regiment. That afternoon, about 4
o'clock, Maj. Lemon was killed. The in
cident was related to COmrade Day by
Maj. Mcclure, who seemed to have been
deeply impressed with the fact that Mai.
Lemon had a premonitiOn of his impend-
ing fate. COmrade Day was near Mai.
Lemon when he was killed. This was in
the fight with Heths Division, which
was advancing under the Stars and
Stripes, the men wearing Federal uni
forms. This display of uniform and flags
deceived Maj. Lemon, and he was calling
to his men, Don't shoot; they are our
men," when two shots struck him simulta-
neOusly. one in the breast, the other in the
head. He fell from his horse, and was
dead before any of his men could reach
his side.

WHAT GOES UP
Must Come Down.

Nothing is more certain than that the
use of so called tonics, stimulants and
medicines, which depend upon alcohol for
their effect, is injurious to health in the
long run.
What goes up must come down and the
elevation of spirits, the temporary exhiia-
ration resulting from a dose of medicine
containing alcohol, will certainly be fol-
lowed in few hours by corresponding
depression to relieve which another dose
must be taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely from
the alcohol they contain.
Alcohol, and medicines containing it.,
are temporary stimulants and not in any
sense true tonic. In fact it is doubtful
il any medicine or drug is real tonic
A true tonic is something which will re-
new, repienish, build up the exhausted
nervous system and wasted tissues of the
body, something that will enrich the blood
and endow it with the proper proportions
of red and white corpuscles which pre-
vent, or destroy disease germs. This is
what real tonic should do and no drug
or alcoholic stimulant will do it.
The only true tonic in nature is whole
some food. thoroughly digested. Every
particle of nervous energy, every minute
muscle, fibre and drop of blood is created
daily from the food we digest.
The mere eating of food has little to do
with the repair of waste tissue but the
perfect digestion Of the food eaten has
everything 10 do with it.
The reason so few people have perfect
digestion is because from wrong habits of
living the stomach has gradually lost the
power to secrete the gastric juice, pep
tones and acids in sufficient quantity.
To cure indigestion and stomach troub.
les it is necessary to take after meals
some harmless preparation which will sup
ply the natural peptone and diastase which
every weak stomach lacks. and probably
the best preparation of this character is
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which may be
found in every drug store and which con-
tain in pleasant palatable form the whole
some peptone and diastase which nature
requires for prompt digestion.
One or two of these excellent tablets
taken after meals will prevent souring,
fermentation and acidity and insure COM
plete digestion and assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are equally
valuable for little children rs for adults,
as they contain nothing harmful or stimu-
lating but only the natural digestives.
One of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets viii,
digest 500 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and they are in every
sense q genuine tonic because they bring
about in the only natural way restora-
tive Of nerve power, n building up of lost
tissue and appetite. in the only way it
can be done BY the digestion and assimilation
OF ich0lesOmc food.

Didn't STAY Put.

Miss Alice Roosevelt couldn't go abroad.
but ter picture did, large as life and
gracefully natural. After hanging for
several months in the Paris Salon, where
all France could view it and admire a very
pretty and typically American girl, the big
canvas has been returned to the United
States and now graces the walls of the
Corcoran Art Gallery. where it will be
viewed by all who visit the marble palace
of art. Beside it hangs an idealiZed pOr-
trait of Mrs. Roosevelt all in white. These
were painted last Winter by the famous
French artist, NJ. Chartrand. Mrs. Roose-
velt's picture will go into the White
House collection of portraits of the wives
of Presidents of the United States. but
that Of Miss Roosevelt, painted as she ap-
peared in her debntante's gown, lis her
fathers, and he will carry it away from
the White House when he lays down the
reins of Government.
In this connection Il newspaper woman
recalls an incident which proves con-
clusively that while the Presidents mind,
once made up. usually stays put, to use
his own vigorous English, he does some
times change it. Early in the Spanish
American excitement this writer called on
Mr.. Roosevelt, who was then Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, and asked him to
procure for her picture of Mrs. ROOse-
welt. with which to illustrate magazine
story. Mr.. Roosevelt haughtily refused to
grant the small favor.
81 cannot imagine any condition or cir
cumstances under which I would permit
the picture of my wife to appear in print,
he asserted. $3.50
The newspaper women attempted to
urge the fact that her story was valueless
without the picture, but Mr. Roosevelt
was very firm. my wife is not in Office
lie replied smilingly. "and she is not prib-
lie character. do not approve of the GUS
tom of publishing the pictures of ladies'.
Now. if you want mine," he said per-
suasively. 81 will give you half dozen
autograph copies"
Tie newspaper woman replied that she
could get his pictures any. old place. and
angr!ly swung out of the Assistant Secre'
tary's presence. "If 1 only had them
new," she said, with that autograph at
tached. I'd make five times as much out
of them as l could have made out of the

pirate it from any one of about million
