INCIDENT OF GETTYSBURG.
How a Brave Confederate Soldier
Went to His Long Account on
Bloody Battlefield.

NJ. V. E. sends the Atlanta Constitu-
ton the story OF a touching incident Of
the civil war which has never before
been told in print:
During the great battle of Gettys-
burg, and while the chances of success
were about equally poised in the
balance, a young man from Atlanta,
as delicate as girl, but as brave as
Napoleon dare be, received a terrible
wound from cannon shot, which
laid open his vitals so that his heart
was actually seen to pulsate by his
companions, while he was yet talking
and telling them of the preparation
for the change then at hand, and his
willingness to meet his Master. Soon
after he was shot Gen. Lee came near.
When the wounded man saw him be
expressed a desire to shake his hand
and bid him farewell. Gen. Lee was
called and rode up to the wounded

man, who was raised to his feet by two
of his companions, and, holding his
entrails with his left hand, be extend
ed the other to the great captain, say
ing: "Goodby, general. l am killed,
but l have been good boy. and am
prepared to go. shall meet you in
Heaven
Gen. Lee gave him hearty shake OF
the hand and said: "Good-by, my boy.
l shall try to meet you on the other side"
The young man was Lewis Morris,
Of company D, Forty-fourth regiment,
Georgia volunteers, who was known TO
his comrades as "Crick" Morris He
had large kinsfolk in and around Al
lanta, among them Councilman Morris,
a brother. Probably some of them never
heard of his dramatic, heroic and
triumphant death until now The
scene presented is not overdrawn. 1t
was witnessed by many Of the sun
burnt veterans of JacksOn's cid corps,
few of whom are yet living to testify
to the fact that all who saw it, including
Gen. Lee himself, shed tears "Crick'
Morris died few minutes after Gen Lee
rode off, and, like thousands of noble
men. is sleeping quietly to-day in an
unknown grave.

VICE PRESIDENTS SURVIVE.
The Only Exception to This Rule Has
Been John G. Brock
enridge.

The Office of vice president may not
be the most important under the Amer
lean system of government, but in one
particular at least it has great advan-
tage for incumbents. They live long
afterward.
There is only one surviving president
of the United Statcs-Grover Cleveland,
who was born in 1887. There are two
surviving vice presidents, Adlai E.
Stevenson. born in 1885, and Levi P
Morton. born in 1924
Abraham Lincoln was Sc when he
died, but Hannibal Hamlin, elected on
the same ticket with him as vice pres
ident, died in 1891 at the age of 3d. Mr.
Lincoln and Mr.. Hamlin were born in
the same year. 1909.
Willard Fillmore when he died was
IA; George NJ Dallas was ". John Tyler
was II, Martin Van Buren, was &c. Ell
bridge Gerry 70; George Clinton. who
came from Ulster county, where Judge
Parker resides. was u. Aaron Burr
was 80, Thomas Jefferson was 80, John
Adams was go.
These vice presidents of the United
States are examples of the longevity of
those who have held that office, though
of course, there have been a few vice
presidents who did not attain old age
One of these vice presidents was John
c. Breckenridge, of Kentucky. who aft
EDWARDS ran for the presidency and was
defeated.
The duties of a vice president are
neither onerous nor vexatious He has
practically no responsibility, except in
the case where vacancy arises in the
office of president. Unlike the lieuten-
ant governor of a state. he is never
called upon or authorized to act in the
absence of his chief, even in routine
official matters.
The youngest vice president at in
auguration was &c. the oldest was 50.

beautifully shaded. Marabout trimming
is also being used on millinery; the
shaded marabout is particularly effec-
tive.
Red is used, but not in the very
bright shades, and mulberry tones seem
to be most in vogue. There always
seems to be strong desire for sub
dued autumnal tints in headgear at this
time OF year. A pretty Breton sailor
hat has wreath of ripe and unripe
blackberries and their own shaded TO-
liage.
It is rumored that oriental embroiu-
cries will be used on velvet hats

have somewhat taken the place of
small, rare birds. Ospreys and coque
feathers are also pressed into service
The osprey that the general public can
AFFORD to buy is only an imitation Of

two dainty accessories we can manage
to exist without new autumn garments.
always provided we have a cosy wrap
Tor chilly evenings. But headgear is
an absolute necessity. None of us will
buy straw, unless it be a plat mixed
with cloth; the newest fabric is q
Chiffon plat which, as far as appear
ance goes, might be of silk or straw.
1t is beautifully light and soft sub
stance, which twists into most delight
full shapes.
l do not think there is anything par
ticularly new to record in the matter
of toQues except that they are wide in
front, the width often being arrived
at by widespread wings. The three
cornered hat is gaining daily in favor
in large as well as in small sizes. They
are just now principally composed of
beaver or felt. I think the three-cor-
nered hat is always a pretty fashion,
and It harmonizes well with the Direc-
to1re coat, especially when adorned
with fancy braid or cords and cockades
We saw good many of these last year,
but they promise to be popular again.
l have seen charming three-corner-
ed hat in mulberry-red felt, the brim
edged with velvet of brighter shade
OF cockade, from which emanated an
outstanding osprey, about four inches
high. This kind of brush will be a
feature Of the toque Of the future.
Pretty, too, was toque in bright
green chfffon-plait, adorned with au-
tumnal fruits, and worn with a shaded
green and brown veil. There are
great many brown an6 green felts worn
with rather plain, straight brims. tilt
ed up at the back and trimmed with
a ruche of shaded taffeta round the
crown, while On the bandeau at the
back are large Rows of colored velvet.
Green and yellow art shades are
much In vogue among the autumn mod
els. Whether they will continue pop
ular or not is another matter. They
are distinctly trying shades, but the
cunning of the modern milliner seems
able to make almost anything becom-
ing.
The ribbons used are delightfully."-
soft, both as regards shade and sub
stance. Bottle-green seems a daring
color to wear on ones head, but have
seen an exquisite model of Directoire
hat In this shade, adorned with three
enormous velvet roses, taking in many
shades of bronze and green.
Toques composed of coque feathers
and pheasant are still to be seen here
and there, but they are mostly worn
by travelling Americans, and 1 do not
think will take firm hold on the mil
linery world.
Ostrich plumes are immensely thick.
