bye to the father, who still stood at the gate, looking down the road, she followed May-Jane along the blooming wood path which now seemed to lead through an- other world than that of the early morn ing.
 The child had been near to a souls sorrow and had come under its shadow.
 She wondered if the people who made the war would not stop it could they but know how it hurt the mothers to give up their boys for soldiers, and then she wondered, Should the boy be killed-if there would be any cure for Aunt Marys broken heart"
 May-JanG, noticing the sober, little face, began to talk so cheerfully along the way that, before they reached home the shadow had quite departed for the time.
 More than year afterward the child was one day driving with her mother and friend along a country road. AS they passed group of blooming crepe myrtle trees to their left, the mother said, There. under those trees is the burial place of the Gray family. Aunt Mary Holt was one of those Grays and she was laid to rest here not long ago. Last September her son. Edmund was killed at the battle of Chickamauga, and believe the poor old mother died of a broken heart"
 The little girl listened, and then there came back to her the memory of that spring day with its glorious sunshine the tall young soldier and his mother, weeping with a sad Ioreboding. and, as she looked back at the myrtle treesN standing guard over their graves. she decided that there must have been no cure for the broken heart.

 We do not play the Pharisee and thank God we are not as other men, but We cannot help thinking that in one respect at least the Anglo-Saxon is more than half century in advance of the agglom- eration of peoples who make up the Austrian empire. The English courts dis ccouraged dueling by hanging several duel ists, notably one army officer of general good character and high repute. We abandoned the practice here because the English sentiment was strongly reflected on this side of the Atlantic. But we can never hope that Austria will hang a man for killing another on point of honor.''

To the Alabama Division U. D.. C.: As the time draws near for the Con- federate Bazaar to be held in Richmond. l wish to thank the Chapters for the en- couraging letters with regard to con- tributions, and to say that hope all the Chapters of the Alabama Division will feel pride in having the Alabama booth the equal of any, and respond lberally to this appeal
 The Bazaar will be held about the fif- teenth of April, therefore it would be best to send contributions as early in April as convenient.

Questions.

As 1t will be impossible according to our Constitution to re-elect our present beloved President of the Alabama Divis- ion and the time draws near for her re- tirement from office, I have been re- quested by many to ask through our U. D. c. columns some expression from Chapters regarding the wisest way of nominating officers. Shall the Chapters endorse candidates before, or shall the delegates go uninstructed and untram- meled letting the compliment come spon- taneops through the members assembled in convention?
 The deep interest I feel in the welfare and future progress of our beloved organization prompts me to make this enquiry.
 Will not members of Chapters send ex- pressions of their opinion through our interesting columns

the Chapters will send in these as soon as elected it will greatly assist the work of the Entertainment Committee and prove more satisfactory to the delegates themselves.

The following news item from Jackson. Miss, Is of interest to all Southerners and the historians of the State Divisions of the U. D. C., will doubtless be of much assistance in supplying rosters of the Confederate troops, as the Daughters have been very energetic in securing these lists, and will most likely double their efforts in order to see that the published accounts are complete and cor rect.
 Tt is not generally known that Mis- sissippian is responsible for the bill to publish the roster of the Union and Con- federate troops which Secretary of War Root Is about to carry into effect.
 Director Rowland of the department of history went to Washington to get the department to publish the roster of the Mississippi troops At an interview the Secretary suggested that the bill be made to include the rosters of all the troops on both sides, and the suggestion was adopted.'

TRANSFER SHEDS FINISHED.
Hagerstown Sheds WIN Now Hold sixty

Hagerstown Sheds VIII Now Hold sixty
Cars-Great Improvement OF the G. v.
The new transfer shed at the Cum
berland VALLEY freight yards at Hag-
erstown was completed Monday 1t
is 1886 feet long and will accommodate
60 cars at one time. There ale four
freight tracks at one side and three on
the other. The purpose of building
the shed is the shortening of time in
hauling freight from distant northern
points south. Freight from various
northern and northwestern points that
arrives in Hagerstown on it's way south
is assorted and consolidated and sep
arate cars are loaded for each southern
point. Only freight that comes in less
than carload lots is handled at the
transfer shed. By this arrangement
the G. v. is able to compete with the
Southern road and make better time
than that road by its Alexandria
route.
