the field. I began on Big Round Top!
There had been a race to get possession
of it. On the southeast side the slope
was gentle" The opposite was steep
and rocky. A field extended we'll up. the
south slope, terminating in quagmire
about 100 feet across. 1 saw where one
gun carriage cut into the soft ground
till the axle scraped the surface. Horse
tracks were some two feet deep. AT the
upper side was an old rail- fence. The
wheels cut the panels in two and
jammed the rail pieces down into the
ground, the other ends sticking up me
small posts. Above this fence was a
thrifty growth of young white oaks. The
axle of the carriage had run over one
as large as my leg and bent 1t TO the
ground and skinned it from near the
butt for 20 feet toward the top.
1t is my Judgment that we nad Eo,VvV
men the advantage in the ground IN the
final battle. Every fence and bush was
black with flies, but not a crow OF ouz-
zard to be seen anywhere.
On the north side of Big Round Top

ing bones of a Johnny who had killed
and wounded II of our men during the

Cereal croquettes are a pleasing
change from the meats. For this utilize
any leftover cereal mush. Reheat with
a tablespoonful of milk, add a we'll
beaten yolk of egg, season with pinch
of salt, add two tablespoonfuis chopped
raisins or dates, and as soon as the
mixture is cool enough form into oval
shaped croquettes. Dip in beaten egg,
then in fine crumbs and fry. These
make an excellent breakfast dish served
with little crisped bacon. If preferred
they may be served warm for luncheon
or dessert with fruit sauce.

A detail of which even the most fas-
tidious women seem unmindful is the
frequent washing of side combs. Altho
these same women may be scrupulous
regarding the care of the comb and
brush which they use in arranging the
hair, they seem to forget that the combs
which are worn demand even more
vigilance. Hygiene eXacts that the side
combs be washed twice a week in warm
water in which has been dissolved one
tablespoonful of borax to each quart Of
water. Rinse by holding under the cold
water faucet and allowing the water TO

FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Publisher
FIetcher's "Gall" Fails Him.

AS the Banner has all along ex
pected, Hon. Allen NJ. Fletcher OF
Cavendish did not have the sand to
go into governorship campaign in
volving fight and has announced
that he will not be a candidate. Mr.
Fletcher's chances We're good not
that he was strong candidate, but
that the others were weaker.
Mr. Fletcher's decision is highly
creditable to him. He has looked tn,
ground over carefully and has had
the sense to see that there was no
enthusiastic demand for him and with
becoming modesty and good taste he
has declined to enter the field and
make an unseemly scramble for the
place, even though he stood good
chance of winning.
His action is in refreshing contrast
to the greedy gobble attitude of some
men whom the Banner does not need
to name who with brazen effrontery
and unlimited gall scramble everlast
ingly for places they are not qualified
to fill and In which the voters would
prefer to place somebody else. Mr..
Fletcher's home paper. the Ludlow
Tribune, announces his withdrawal as
follows:
The name of Hon. Allen NJ Fletch.
er, of Cavendish, has been prominent
ly discussed for some time in connec.
ton with governorship. and that
gentleman's qualifications for the
Office have been generally acknowl-
edged by the press and people of the
state-qualifications based on familiar
ity with public affairs and legisla-
tive record which has demonstrated
his interest in public questions of real
moment and refreshing independ-
ence of thought and action in the
treatment of those questions.
The Tribune has naturally taken
pride in the fact that Windsor county
could furnish so excellent gubernator-
ial timber, and 1t has known, too, of
considerable pressure brought to bear
to induce MIR. Fletcher to stand as a
candidate; but it has not felt at all
sure of his going definitely into the
race, Notwithstanding other papers in
the state have discussed him as II his
candidacy were assured. We are now
in position to announce that he will
not be candidate for gubernatorial
honors.
Mr.. Fletcher's decision not to be a
candidate leaves Windsor county
without an avowed aspirant for any
thing, up to date; whether she will be
content with so lonesome condition
remains to be seen. She is big enough
and smart enough to have furnished a
first-class governor. The county would
have stood solidly for the gentleman
from Cavendish, because he measures
up to her standard of either guberna-
torial or congressional timber, and.
with many other sections of the state.
will regret his determination not
to enter the field. Mr.. Fletcher has
contended firmly for constructive leg
islation during his six years connec-
ton with the general assembly, and
shown himself to be in close touch
with the people and their interests,
and it is to be hoped that the state
will get further service from him
along these lines"
