CoE roNPLACE INCIDENTS.
Reminisosnces of the Civil War


 By F. Y. McMorries.
 Company J. (Peroto Guards), lst regiment,
 Alabama Vols. (Inf). C. s. A.
 On our return from Hoods fateful campaign in Tennessee the army recrossed the Tennes- sec River during the early days of January, 1865, at Bainbridge, few miles above Flor ence, Ala, and those Of us who had no shoes. shoes with no soles. were ordered down the NJ. and C. R. R. on foot to Corinth, Miss The men had crossed the river we'll shod not two months previous, but the rockxs rough country through which we had been marching had worn out the bottoms of our shoes and as a consequence half the men feet were badly lacerated and bleeding. Ar ter few days detention at Corinth, during very hard weather and In miserable quarters. we were sent by rail to Lauderdale Springs' Miss, then a Confederate Hospital on our arrival we found several hundred of our bare foot sick and wounded here. Each was work ing energeticaIly for a furlough, or transfer to hospitals nearer home. where they could get shoes. clothing, etc, and possibly glimpse of the old home even if only for a few days. but few except the wounded were meeting with success The latter were readily furloughed or transferred to any point they named, often without careful medical examination. About the second morning after our arrival, Ben Baker of my company came up to me when something like the following colloquy ensued he asking the first question: How would you like to have a thirty days furlough stuck to YOU this morning?" Have you one?' Just got it few minutes ago" How on earth did this thing happen?" Why, when I reached this place. I reported as a wounded soldier, underwent my examination this morning as such. with the happy result. as you see. of a thirty days furlough one member of the board contending strongly for A sixty-day furlough." Baker had two large risings or boils the calf of of his legs. which at this time were beginning to heal, but looked infiamsd and had left two cavities half an inch deep and resembling very much wound made by

THE JEFFERSON GUARDS"
A Little Army Required to Police the
 Worlds Fair at St. Louis.

A Little Army Required to Police the
 Worlds Fair at St. Louis. Philadelphia Record.
 A guard corps is the safety valve of an international exposition. The better it's discipline the higher the dignity of the great spectacle.
 The well-remembered Columbian Guard ct the White City of Chicago in 1893 set the style for succeeding expositions. At that time the detailing of army officers to command a civilian organization was an innovation. The wisdom of this Was reflected by the admirable esprit de corps set by Col Edmund Rice. It proved that the training of a military man was need ed to successfully direct arrangements for order and safety.
 Since the Columbian Exposition no army officers have been detailed to perform the same duties at any Worlds Fair until the St. Louis Exposition. More regular fight ing men will command the Jefferscn Guard at the Ivory City than were ever detailed to cooperate with the civil au- thorines of the country, and it is not anniss to predict that the tone of the Guard at St. Louis will be higher and more perfect than heretofore
 Col. Edward Allison Goodwin of the 9th Cavalry, Is commandant of the Jefferson Guard. Second in command by reason or ms rdnkb IS MaJor Andrew tTOodr1ctl Hammond, of the Sd Cavalry. When the Guard is recruited to it's full strength, which will probably be that of two regi- ments of infantry, or 2,4OO men, many Heutenants of the regular army will te detailed to command the various compa- nies.
 At present First Lieutenant Charles Brooks Clark of the 9th Infantry, and First Lieutenant George Howell Shields, of the 12th Infantry. are the only two army officers of the line stationed at tine Exposition. Just now there are only 1,2OO guards, but the service must be increased about the first of the year to protect the increasing arrival of exhibits, many of which are already installed in the big palaces.
 The army officers will wear the uniform of their rank during the Exposition, lend ing a military setting to the promenades, reaplendent with visitors from every part

THE NEWLY FOUNDED HOME
 FOR STRAY DOGS.

generously headed and managed by The Paris Herald.
 We are ambitious to make our home as great a success as the Paris one, where more than two thousand animals have been received and cared for, The State of New York has passed law that all waifs and strays shall be seized and destroyed, but we believe tho poor little creatures would never become waifs and strays if their owners. instead of turning them out"in tho streets to die, knew that there was a place where they would be taken care of. These and all others abused are the anil niais which we most wish to benefit, not only in our home, but by finding private homes for many of them"
 Persons who wish to turn their dogs over 10 the home arc asked to take them to the New York headquarters, Dr. II. K. Miller, IIe W. Fifty-third Street, where they sign q formal release of the animal. which remains there few days fin quarantine before being removed to the country. If owners merely wish to send their dogs to the home for a while they ure asked to pay small sum for board. If too poor to do this the animal is provided for at the clubs expense. No plea for aid will be ignored.
 The club is delighted to secure private homes for its animals. but before an inmate of Bide- a-Wee is removed to new quarters a club in- spector visits the applicant to see that the per- son and the place arc such that a dog will be properly housed and cared for.
 Saturdays arc to be visitors days at Bide- a-Wee. and for the convenience of guests go- ing out from New York Miss Jett will meet at Tuckahoe Station. on the Harlem road, the train leaving the Grand Central Station at Io:25.
 With that prominent and generous friend of dogs, Mrs. A. V- T. Ellington, president, and Mrs. Klbbe vice-president, tho Bide-a-wee Club Is destined to be a popular movement fin the animal cause The secretary of tho club ia Miss Harriet Bingham, and it's directors Nre Mrs. George II. Gould. Mrs. Mabel Mckinley Baer, Mrs. Paul E. Rasor Walter s. GiIson, Mrs. J. II. Rainer, IT. U. Kibbe, Miss John. son, W. E. Emmons and tho officers Its membership includes many prominent persons in New York and over tho country, as we'll as Mrs. r. A. Mouiton, one of the directors of the Paris refuge, who, like another of Mrs Kibbe's friends, Count Beaupre, who designed the club crest. is interesting ParisIans in this worthy cause.
 The annual fee for active members of the club Is S6 and Si for associate members A Junior membership with a fec of 2B cents IS about to be started All persons interested in the work ot the home and desirous of 1oin- ing tho club are asked to make their subscrip- tions and nmebership fees payable to the Windsor Trust Company, which has consented to act as depository for tho funds.
 One enthusiastic member, Mir. George L.. Monroe. IT,, of Vicksburg. Miss, who is on his way to New York and eager to visit Bide- a-Wee. has. in addition to a generous subecrtp- tion, offered to give annually . gold medal to be known as the Bide-a-Wee medal and award ed by the homo to @ person. old or young who particularly distinguishes himself by kindness to dog, horse or cat.

 to be reconciled. What the average man wants to know Is where tbe public is to come in. How about the consumer who pays the bills? Everybody's business is nobodys business, and while the repre- sentatives of the public in the Civic Fed eration are men of great force they have not the vital pocket book interest of em- ployer and employe. The Iaborers want high wages, the manufacturers can sat isfy them without personal loss by in- creasing prices. and the public carries the burden.
 Indeed, the combinations of capital as to prices are now organized as never be- fore. Nearly every trade has it's associa- tion. which meets together to stife tndi- vidnal competition. There is a wholesale druggist combination which represents ninety per cent of the jobbing trade of the United States. The members of this meet and decide just how much we shall pay for our pills, powders and bitters, and especially for our patent medicines of all kinds. The combination will not permit the dealers to underseu one an other. It has spies on the road to watch them and the man who cuts the regular list Is furnished no more goods.
 The book sellers and book publishers have recently combined to force the re- tailing of books at net prices. and the book stores which give discounts are not to be supplied.
 The plumbers associations are now pro- viding that all sorts of plumbers supplies shall be sold only to plumbers and the handy Yankee will no more be able 10 stop a leak or put in @ washer or spigot for himself. He can't get the spigot without ordering It through his plumber. and if he does so the plumber will get his percentage out of the price. Indeed, 1t iS

 Pools to Raise Prices.
 In this way the consumer Is at the mer- cy of the dealer and the workman com bined. Such combinations are being ex- tended to all branches of the trade. In many of the cities the bakers dare not deliver their own bread, but must send 1t to the grocery stores. It must be made by uninon hands, or it will not be accept ed. The New York confectioner who cuts the association price of candy is fined $50. and the New York milk dealer is fin a combination which fixes the amount paid to the farmers. Indeed. the farmers themselves are taking of pools, and one of them recently proposed a national or sanitation to raise the price of corn to a dollar a bushel Such a demand is nc more ridiculous than are the actions oi many of the industrial pools of today,

Of the world. The uniform and equip ment of an Exposition Guard has always partaken of the military rather than the police type. In place of slaves and baton wfelded by the municipal police, short military swords are the side arms of the Jefferson Guard.
 This display of authority was the idea of Colonel Rice at the Chicago World s Fair, and it has become the standard at all expositions. The Pan-American Guard and the American Guard at the Paris Ex- position were armed after the same fashion.
 The Jefferson Guard is domiciled in bet ter quarters than at preceding exposi- tions. The barracks Is a substantial new stone building, one of the halls of Wash ington University. which is a part of the Exposition. Commandant Goodwin and hls aides have their headquarters in thls structure.

 Lord Byron voices the sentiment of the Bide- | a-Wee Club that new and unique organization | recently formed by group of fashionable New | York women who, inspired by love and g | spirit of kindness toward animals in general and dogs tn particular. have opened in Yon- kers Park, for homeless dogs. cats and worn out horses, refuge to be known as Bide- a-wee. The first of the kind here, the idea of | Bide-a-wee originated with Mrs. Harry Ulysses Kibbe, of the Ansonia, eRhose fond ness for dogs Is we'll known to her friends and whose pet Beau. fox terrier. in his happy homo. caused her to think of and desire to do for other canines less fortunate. Encouraged by such enthusiastic dog lovers as Mrs. A. " T. Ellington. Mrs. George c. Boldt and Mrs A. Browning Prentice, Mrs. Kibbe's idea grew into a club determined to establish an animal home in the suburbs of New York City.
 Ignorant of the details of starting a home and desirous of doing 1t In the best manner possible. Mrs. Kibbe applied for information to Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton of Cleveland, O.. whose work along these lines makes her an authority and who. Mrs. Fibbe says not only supplied her with tho necessary information, but has greatly aided the new project by in- terosting persons all ovet tho country in 1t.
 Mrs. Bolton said must be prepared to be laughed at." said Mrs. Kibbe. but we've not been made fun of at all. On the contrary, every one who hears Of Bide-a-wee is inter . the letters of inquiry are receiving from far and near and the number of persons eager to join our club prove how it appeals to ami nal lovers
 Mrs. Bolton said VIC must be prepared to be laughed at," said Mrs. Kibbe, 'but we've not been made run of at all On tho contrary. every one who hears of Blde-a-wee is inter- ested. and since the home opened. in October. the letters of inquiry we are receiving from far and near and the number of persons eager to join our club prove how it appeals to anl- maj lovers.

Science is doing wonders these days fin medicine as well as in mechanics.

Lee and Jackson Day.

It might be well to consider the request made in the December Veteran" to unite the names of Lee and Jackson in the celebra- tion on the 18th of January. For since it is the date of General Lees birth and the date of General JacSson's is uncertain and both births occurred in the month of January. a union of the two names in the celebration seems truly fitting. The life and military genius of these two great men is so interwoven that the thought of one instinctively suggests the other.
 Prearnbies and resolutions were adopted by the Stonewall Brigade at a reunion held in Staunton, Va, in October covering the above mentioned situations and since the request comes to the chapter of the U. D. C. eonsid- eration by them is desired.
 January loth is the first date in the year for the distribution of the Crosses of Honor. Chap ters are urged to give attention to these exer- ciseS.
