"Well, the welcome order came and

Before closing this bit OF a story"
says Capt. Gragg, land showing you
how 1t might have been Col. Hooker OF
the First Massachusetts,. reference
should be made to Mrs. Josephine
Miller formerly Josephine Rogers,
whose home at the time of the battle
of Gettysburg was at the Rogers house
near the Emmetsburg road Well, our
regiment was stationed along the EN-
metsburg road, in and around the
Rogers house, and Josephine Rogers,
who was then but mere girl, actually
staid in that house the first day of the
battle and cooked bread for the boys
of the. First Massachusetts. Now the
story of Josephine Rogers has just
been referred to by Private r. p.
Northrop, of Harrisonburg, Va, who
was member of A company, Ninetieth
Pennsylvania regiment, and l should
like to quote a portion of Comrade
Northrop's narrative.
"As we came in sight of the town."
says Mr.. Northrop, referring to the
morning of the first day of the battle,
1--WE passed at the gateway of farm
| house a very aged man, his hair long
and silvery, and hanging down well
over his shoulders. His voice was
tremulous and he tottered on his cane,
being supported on the other side by
his granddaughter, blooming lass of
IA or 15 years. AS we hurried by the
old man exhorted us in beseeching,
tremulous tones, Whip 'em boys, this
time. If you don't whip 'em now,
you'll never whip emf The boys re-
piled with Bully for the old man,
and hip-hip for the girl as we
quickened our pace to take up our po-
sition where a monument now marks
the extreme right Of the first days
fighting, which position we held late
in the day, until the Eleventh corps
gave way, and we were flanked and
forced to fall back.
Il had often recalled to mind In
later years the old man and the fair
girl whom we passed that day, and
when 1 Joined the boys on the field
recently to dedicate our monuments
while riding over the battlefield with
my wife and an old terminate who has
just answered the last roll call, in
quired of the colored driver If he
could tell me who he was.
His reply was prompt. Yes, in

aged to Find Something. ,-.

In the fall OF 1864 we We're serving
under Sheridan in the Shenandoah
valley, writes an old soldier in the
National Tribune. At about IL o'clock
one day we halted and were told that
we would remain there over night.
AS we were always hungry for
something besides blue beef and hard
tack, number of us started out on a
private foraging expedition. We soon
struck some farms where plenty
reigned." My first prize was nest
of eggs, which for want of better
receptacle, i put in my pocket. Then
1 espied hen, and gave chase to her
through thick weeds, soon overlook,
stopped suddenly to grab her,
and in doing so broke part OF the
eggs, and stopped a moment to jerk
them out of my pocket, when another
man in blue made prize of my hen,
but / soon compensated myself for
the loss by following a frightened
turkey through cornfield until she
her down with stone. / started for
camp with my prize, when i met my
terminate, young John Snider, loaded
to the full with a sack of potatoes,
beans, etc. He also had captured a
young turkey. He wanted me to take
his load while he went back for more,
which | did The turk escaped, and /
| was forced to knock 1t over with a
stone. l had hardly got back to camp
when the thunder of cannon told us
that our rear guard, Jersey brigade,
had been attacked by the enemy, and
we were ordered to fall back, as
| Sheridan was ordered not to bring on
general engagement at that time. I
managed to poach my remaining eggs
in my tin cup with water, and they
tasted, oh, so good. held on to the
young turkey, and we feasted on him
that evening. All the rest of the for
age was left scattered on the ground,
as the soldiers in their weary marches
could carry very little above actual
necessities. / knew one of our com.
pany, in looking over his knapsack to
find something that he might dispense
with to tighten his load, to actually
throw out couple of sheets of paper
and envelopes. A pound weight In
those long, dry, dusty marches made
a great difference: and how light we
felt on throwing down our burdens al
night-why, l felt as II I could jump
ten feet straight upwards, the relief
was so great.

Invlsorate the Digestion.

To invigorate the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and bowels
there is nothing SO good as that old
family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for a week will usually be all
chat is required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, one or two taken every
night will afford great relief.
Brandreths Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and being purely vegetable are
adapted to every system.

pet, instead of costly doll or a me-
chanical toy. The demand has been

is being done, not only in puppies and
kittens, in tiny monkeys and in lambs,
but also in tigers and ieopards. Up to
certain age, these small felines are
quite harmless, and, of course, as soon
as they begin, so to speak, to show
their teeth and sharpen their claws,
they are sent off to one of the two

HOW HOOKER MISSED 1T.

Massachusetts, Regiment.

ut Is proposed to form a Hooker
association Of Massachusetts" says
Capt. Isaac P. Gragg, one of the most
enthusiastic admirers of Fighting
Joe" "and the first meeting was held
on the ninety-second anniversary of
Gen. Hooker's birth in the Connecticut
valley town of Hadley.
I'VE have thought 1t a commend
able idea to organize simply an an
nual dining body to be called the
Hooker association, which all good
citizens, veterans or otherwise, can
join and the generals memory can be
thus perpetuated by these yearly gath
erings.
'Do you know" says Capt. Gragg,
that Gen. Hooker, If Gov. Andrew
could have had his way, would have
been the commander of the First
Massachusetts? Only the loyalty OF
the boys to Col. Cowdin interfered
with the program. Col. Cowdin, when
we took the field in June, 1861, was
55 years old, veteran militia officer
The governor wanted younger man
for the place and kept the regiment in
camp some weeks after we were ready
to go while on a still hunt for a col

Steamer on Way to Seattle.

The United States coast and geodetic sur
very steamer Explorer. which is on her
way from Baltimore to Seattle, has COM
pleted more than half of her journey along
the coasts of the American continents. Ac-
cording to a message received at the coast
and geodetic survey bureau on Capitol Hill
the steamer arrived at Panama June 10,
and sailed from there yesterday. Her next
point of call will be Acapulco, Mexico.
which will be reached within the next
week From that point she will go to San
Diego. Cal, to make magnetic observa-
tons, and will arrive at Seattle in about
six weeks. Good health aboard was re-
ported
The Explorer was sent from the east tt
the west coast of the United States under
the supGoSition that the old coast survey
steamer Gedney was no longer fit for sPrv-
ice and she was to take the place of the
Gedney Since the Explorer sailed tn,
Gedrey has been locked, and an examina-
tion showed that she was in much better
repair than was thought. She has been
given an overhauiing. and is now ready
for several years more service in survey
work on the Pacific coast
