find the following statement in the

zine:
"When General She,-.an made his
famous march through Georgia. from
Atlanta to the sea, the country was
idevastG' l for miles around. 1t was n
perfect Waste. OF destruction, like the
churning ,yp~9f thc"sea by a side wheel
steamer. One could see the waste Of
this devouring army sire, ching for
miles across the peaceful fields. And
when the Confederate army, under
General Lee. invaded Pennsylvania at
the time OF the battle OF Gettysburg,
destruction and rapine followed in the
wake OF the nvaucrs, There was evil

SOUGHT FAME IN BALLOON
But Young Girl Nearly Found Death
When She FELL 300 Feet.

Middletown, N. Y, Sept. 4.-~Miss
Myrtle Rysdike, q Seventeen-year-ol
girl Of this city, narrowly escaped
death In making a balloon ascension
at the park this afternoon. With the
design Of emuating Miss Maggie
Daley, a young woman who became
famous by making a balloon ascen-
sion on a dare some time ago, Miss
Rysdike on Sunday made her first
ascension.
Today when she tried to repeat
her performance the balloon caught
fire when 200 feet in the air. The
hot air quickly escaped, and the bal
loon and the young woman fell rap
idly.
She landed in the thick foliage of
q large tree, the balloon covering
her. She was quickly rescued, and,
save for few scratches was none
the worse.
