Washington Monument.


The wedding ring of bride is lost
in the grass at the Washington monu-
ment at Washington, d. c. 1t has
been sought in vaE. Custodian Craig
has had the grass cuI to facilitate the

newly married couple from Baltimore
and were at Washington on their
wedding tour They went up to the
top of the monument. which is 553
feet high and took some apples with
them. While looking at the city from
the great height they munched the
apples.
See how far you can throw the
CORE said the bridegroom.
"Oh, you think a girl can't throw.
don't you?" was the arch reply of the
bride as she raised her arm over her
head and made the characteristic
feminine sweep. The core went sail
ing down. AS it left her hand the
bride cried ont in CONSERVATION. Her
wedding ring placed on her finger
only few hours before, had slipped
off and disappeared. In reply to the
bridegroom's promise to buy another
ring the bride Indignantly demanded
to know .Ow any one could buy

for the missing ring was begun.

have found to work well is to plant

the start and keeps it. When it is
ready for cutting top it just above the

bean vines to climb on. This is better
than leaving the whole stalk, as it
stands upright with heavier weight

again put over six or seven forkfuls
together in a small stack; in a week
put ten or twelve of these small stacks

as long as you can. They will shed the
rain all right, and when ready to haul

Cen, John B. Gordon in Scribner's.
No battle of any war more forcibly
than Gettysburg illustrates the. truth
that officers at a distance from the
field cannot, with any wisdom, at
tempt to control the movements of
troops actively engaged. On the first
day neither Gen Early nor Gen. Ewell
could possibly have been fully cogniZ-
ant of the situation at the time l
was ordered to halt. s1
The whole of that portion of the
Union army in my front was in in
extricable confusion and in flight. They
were necessarily in flight, for my
troops were upon the flank and rap
idly sweeping down the lines The
firing upon my men had almost ceased.
Large bodies of the Union troops were
throwing down their arms and sur
rendering, because in disorganized and
confused masses they were wholly
powerless either to check the move
ment or return the fire.
AS far down the lines as my eye
could reach, the Union troops were
in retreat. Those at a distance were
still resisting but giving, ground, and
it was only necessary for me to press
forward in order to insure the same
results, which invariably follow such
flank movements. In less than one7
half hour my troops would have swept
