With the Twenty-fourth Army Corps,
stationed only about seven miles from
Richmond and evidently part Of vthe
inexorable movement, the New Hamp-
shire photographers took up their
quarters The demand for photographs
from the troops and visitors TO the
camp-but especially the members of
the colored regiments from the North

tographers were swamped with orders.
Many Of the Union soldiers. expecting
to fall in the assault on the city. were
exceedingly anxious to send home a
photograph OF themselves to loved
ones.

Brown. proprietor of the Oaks hotel
Windsor Park, might have a hard time
On enumerating the gifts he distributed
among his friends and acquaintances
this Christmas but ii would De an easy
matter for him to tell which bestowal
rendered him and the recipients the
greatest amount of satisfaction.
Mr.. Brown surrounded by the com
forts Of his own snug hosiery. did
not forget that there were many who
would go without even a square meal
on Christmas day If they were not
looked after So accordingly he re-
quested a number of his guests If they
saw anybody who looked reasonably
decent and who was evidently broke
and wanting for a Christmas dinner. to
send him around and he would set UP
the turkey and accessories.
Only One Makes Good.
While q number of the guests were
given this tip. there was only one who
had both the opportunity and the
courage to put the invitation to good
service John Griffin, timekeeper for
| the Circuit Construction company was
walking down Railroad avenue not far
/ from the hotel, when he encountered
! trio Of hopeless looking individuals,
whose faces and demeanor plainly told
] that they were hungry. They were de
cent looking men, evidently Of the
mechanic class, and Griffin took
chance on a rebuff by inquiring as to
their destination and financial condi
ton.
The men, it appeared, were bound
for South Chicago in search Of work
AThey had tramped Chicago over with
out results and were all dead broke"
and hungry. Having satisfied himself
! that his men were not impostors, Griffin

| keeper and they willingly accompanied
the good samaritan back to the hotel
where they sat down to a Christmas
dinner that would satisfy the palate of
the most exacting epicure. There We're
oyster cocktails, great bowls of steam
ing hot soup, turkey and dressing,
cranberry sauce. mince and pumpkin
pie celery and all the other accessories
that go to make up good old fashion
ed Christmas feast.
Make Neat Appearance.
The men were given an opportunity
to wash up before entering the dining
room and when this had been accom-
plished and with their hair neatly
brushed, they presented a good ap-
| pearance.
The men gave their names as John
Barber, boilermaker. aged 40 years;

hailed from Iowa. All are married and

ing but the deepest gloom for them.

from two to three months and through
