MR.. WILSON WORKS
WITH NO VACATION
Peaks Climbed by Farmer
Secretary Are Mountains
of Labor.

Secretary Wilson Of the Agricultural
Department "a as gained the reputation Of
being the ont. Cabinet official who takes
no vacations 1t has been -'ears since
the Iowa Secretary thus INDUCED him
self
What's the difference be~-yeen climb
ing upstairs in a packing house and
trudging Up a mountain side?" was his
answer 10 a query about his vacation.
just after he had returned from inspec-
ton OF several Eastern packing houses
Last summer the Secretary was both
cred by a cotton leak episode. This year
the revolution in the system Of meat in
spectiOn has brought additional burdens
70 the head of the department de has
made several trips through the country
in this connection. and for one or two
days was at his farm IN Iowa. That Is
the nearest he has come TO getting a
vacation. He pretends 10 be enjoying
/ his summer at his Office, at reading IN
his apartments, or taking his meals at
the University Club. while other mem
bers of the Cabinet are at the mountains
or seashOres.

NO SUMNER SCHEDULE
FOR CARRIERS OF MAIL
Decision OF Postal Authorities Is That
it Would Be al Illegal
Discrimination.

Man will be delivered In Washington
throughout the summer the same as II
has been during the rest Of the year.
Postonice officials having refused 10 give
the local letter carriers a summer sched-
Ule. The carriers have been informed
that the old schedule VIII be observed
and no change made IN either number
of deliveries or hours therefor. The noon
mail will continue
For some time the matter has been IN
the hands of the Comptroller OF the
Treasury and the Assistant Attorney
General for the POstonice Department
In their opinion they state that the
granting Of the privilege Of eliminating
the noon day delivery throughout the
summer months would be Illegal under
the restrictions Of the eight-hour law
In addition Il would be discriminating in
IA or Of the carriers at the expense OF
all other employees Of the office.
Postmaster Barnes recently received
deputation from the letter carriers. They
Csked that in case a summer schedule
were not adopted they be granted half
holiday on Saturday The way Mr.
Barnes viewed the matter was that IL
he granted the carriers a half-hOliday on
Saturday he would be compelled to
make the same recommendation for all
the other employees, and thus leave the
office business at "A stand from Saturday
noon until Monday, which could not be
thought OF for q moment

The milk supply is fast being brought

earth when on November 10, 1863,
about four months after this fight,
President Lincoln with escort and cab
met officers delivered on this field this
magnificent grafton:
1--WE cannot dedicate, we cannot con-
centrate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men living and
dead who struggled here have conse-
Grated it far above our power to add
or detract. The world will little note
nor long remember what we say here;
but 1t can neser forget what they did
here. It is for us the living rather to
be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they have thus far so mob
ly carried out. 1t Is rather for us to
be here dedicated to the great work
remaining before us, that from their
honored dead we take increased devo-
ton to that cause for which they here
gave the last full measure OF devotion;
that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain; that
the nation shall under God have a new
birth OF freedom, and that government
OF the people. by the people, for the
people shall not perish from the earth"

Mustard and CreSS
From Fort BarrancaS

Fort Barrancas, July 7.-Just about
now there Is an air Of uneasiness and
impecuniosity pervading the garrison.
Muster is over and the paymaster is
expected any day. The post. poet-I
think he must be the author of that
sparkle of wit EVERYBODY Drills but
Russelr-left the following poem
where found 1t. 1t speaks for itself.
/ don't think much of 1t as poetry for
its feet are not mates, but the senti-
ment Is good:
The Pay Day Grin.
The soldier waits with patience
And does the best he kin,
And shortly after muster
Wears the pay day grin.
But alas! and alack a day!
The smile soon fades away;
It Is not of the kind
That abideth / find.
For 1t stays but a while,
This beautiful smile;
A few days at most,
And then II Is lost.
And replaced by cashless unsatis-
fed grin
That is more like a mourner's smirk,
repenting of sin,
But 1t wakes once again with a bit
of buster
On check day, which causes OF good
things a fiuster.
And lasted some good fellows, well,
nearly to muster,
And then from the first the grins ready
to burst into service again,
For the paymaster's coming on some
early train.
And that reminds one of another
story. A certain rookie, young and
guileless one in the q won't say which)
company, has been acting very
strangely at the mess table. At near
ly every meal he gives one hopeless,
helpless glance at the ration on his
plate and closing his eyes and cross
ing his hands he says, meekly and
reverently, Hebrews 18th chapter 8th
verse. II seems to encourage to make
an attack on the succulent dainties set
before him. One day the @. M. ser

but save your wind" and as he en-
couraged his men he was himself
struck down and killed.
A Desperate Charge.
In the meantime the distance had
been shortened as we could now dis
tinguish the Yankee officers by their
uniforms. Armistead's column from
the rear now came rapidly up behind
the front line and finding Gen. Gar
nett dead, Gen. Armistead took CON-
.mand. Stepping out in front with his
hat on the point of his sword he led
the division, now four ranks deep, over
beautiful field Of clover. A hundred
yards from the stone wall the flanking
party on the right was coming in a
heavy run. At fifty yards they halted
and poured into us deadly volley of
musket balls. Opposite us the stone
wall was belching grape and canister
two or three times minute and under
this double fire our men reeled and
staggered between falling comrades
with the right pressing on the centre
causing great confusion. All the men
knew was to capture that stone wall
and hundreds Of men without orders
fought the thanking party there al
though they greatly outnumbered us.
The fighting was terrible even to Pick
ett's men who for once raised no cheer
though the Yankees huzzahed repeat
eddy. We were within a few feet of
the wall when the blazing artillery,
fifty feet in length, turned loose again
and again into our masses. Still on
we went and over the wall rushing up
the hill close after the gunners who
waved their hammers at us and gave
cheer after cheer. When half way up
the hill we were met by body of fresh
troops charging down upon us and
We were forced back into the clover
field. General Armistead was down
wounded among the guns. We waited
for reinforcement, about one thousand
of us, colonel In command, but none
coming We fed to the rear over the
dead, the wounded, mangled, grooming,
dying men while the Yankees kept up
firing shot, shells and minnie balls.
The dead were thrown in trenches
temporarily.

Here Is the way some OF us spent
the Fourth Of July, 1863, or rather the
two previous days at Gettysburg.
The fight opened about 9 o'clock
July 1, Gen. A. p. Hills division with
Heth's command in the lead striking
Buford's cavalry about one mfie and
a half from town. Gen. Archer led the
first charge against the yankees and
the Rebs were repulsed with heavy
loss and Gen. Archer was captured.
Next morning at 4 a. m. the Rebs,
under Gen. Hood, followed by McLaws
made a desperate attack on the Yam
KEGS and In two hours made them re-
tire to Little Round Top. Again the
Rebs were repulsed with heavy losses
and the Yankees occupied Big Round
Top.
This desperate fighting was on the
End OF July, first with the entire 5th
corps and later Gen. Meade sent the
entire 9Th corps. This days fight last.
ed till 8 p. m. and the Rebs were Sc
verely hurt. AT $3.50 a. m. OF the Bird
the fight was renewed and from then
till half past 10 the attack was made
against Gen. Slocum. Again the Rebs
were driven out of their barricades
and trenches which they had previ-
ously taken from the Yankee. Gen.
Lee now tried to concentrate artillery
fire to open a path for charge by lis
troops. All along this line were stone
walls and barricades behind which Gen.
Hancock's men were posted. After a
furious fire from the artillery Picketts
division at $50 p. m. rushed forward
up the slope.
The command now came along the
line "front, forward" The destruction
of life in the ranks Of that advance
was fearful; officers and - men were
killed by scores. Gen. Kemper was
shot down, but Garnet still unhurt,
called faster men, faster" One stone
fence was carried and we had made
two-third of the distance but were still
some four hundred yards from the foot
OF Cemetery Hill when, away of to
the right nearly half mile. there ap-
peared in the open field line Of men
at right angles with our own coming

OF cold drinks and then comes the
question Of the best place to get
them. Anticipating this, Nick Apos-
has recently fitted up his No. 2 place
in first class style. and it is now
as cool and comfortable as any place
can possibly be. The walls have
been repapered; more electric fans
have been put in, more marble top
tables have been added and full
supply of ali kinds of soft drinks, ice
cream, candies, cigars, ETC., are kept
constantly on hand. The service is
good and the goods are better.
Short orders are also served and ID
is an ideal place for lunch, or Satur.

coffee early in the morning. There is
no half way business there. Nick be-
