VISION OF GETTYSBURG.
Painted by a Little Girl for Her Sol
der Grandfather.

Some years ago an old man with
silvery hair was led into the CYCLIC
rama of Gettysburg by a bright-faced
little girl. Aged and feeble, he sat
down, while the child described to
him the features of the picture. Oc-
casionally he asked her question as
in doubt of the accuracy of her ac-
count. She had described the charge
of the confederate columns and the
struggle at the stone wall, when he
asked: But where's the artillery,
May? DO you mean the big guns?
They're over there on the hill in a
row. All in a row." he asked. Yes.
she, said; there are some more down
here, but they are all upset. | think
they are bursted.' Is that where the
men are coming over the hill" Yes,
grandpa is there a grove OF treesT
Yes, it seems to be full of men, but
the smoke is so thick you can not see
them oh. l see them he cried.
1T was then noticed by some of the
party near him that he was blind. The
little girl answered; o, no, grandpa,
YOU can't see them Yes, can said
the old soldier. L can see the men,
the grove, and the broken cannon ly-
ing about The child looked at him
in innocent surprise, and said: You
are joking, grandpa No, my dear,
answered the old man. No. that was
the last thing | ever saw. There was
a caisson exploded there just this
side of the stone wall, and that was
the last terrible picture ever saw, for
1t was then that | lost my eyesight,
and l have never got the picture out
of my mind"

said Gordon with a humorous smile,
land, am afraid, tumbled one little
girl rather unceremoniously down the
stairs. Did hurt you?" There was
a caressing cadence in the question
that he could not for the life of him
keep out of his voice.
IL did not even know l tumbled.
How did you get back?" said Louise,
TREMENDOUSLY.
"Who opened the door," counter
questioned Gordon, remembering.

enough to know it was shut, but l
couldn't have helped myself anyway.
l CROPPED for it as long as l could with

have gone off little, for l was spraw-
ling on the floor of the lower hall

over me. Somebody must have opened
the door-because l am pretty sure

thing"
Louise was silent She was thank
ful-thankful. God had been very
good to her. 1t had been given to her
to do this thing. She had not meant
to do it-she had not konwn what she
did; enough that was done.
1T was Louise" spoke up Mary,
"and I-tried to hold her back" So
she accused herself.
But l didn't do it on purpose" said
Louise, with shining eyes. "I-I-"
YES, YOU" prompted Gordon,
looking at her with tender intentness.
81 guess l was trying to come after
you," she confessed. 1T was very
foolish"
The rear grounds were rapidly fill
ing up. Like children following a
band-wagon the crowd surged toward
the new excitement of the discovered
extension of the fire. Gordon drew a
long breath.
81 thank God for your-foolishness,"
he said, simply, smiling the smile his
friends loved him for.

had leered at her. She had been
haunted by the vague feeling that she
must have known the man who had
attempted to carry her off-that dread
full night; but she had never been able
to concentrate the abstract, fleeting
impressions into comprehensive sub
stance-never until she had seen that
scar, and glancing away in terror saw
that Langford, too, had seen; but she
was not brave enough to lose herself
and Louise in the crowd where that
man was. She could not. He had
leered at Louise, too, last night at sup
per. They could not ask the protec-
ton of Gordon and Langford back to
the hotel then, when Langford's
handsome, tanned face was white with
the weight of what he had to tell.
1T will be BEST" he agreed, unex-
pectedly Conceive must hurry"
1t was Williston's little girl whom
he took under his personal protection,
diving up the street in the teeth of the
gale which blew colder every moment
with force and strength that kept
Mary half the time off her feet. A
gentler knight was Gordon-though
as manly. All was lark around the
premises. There was no one lurking
near. Everybody was dancing at
tendance on the courthouse holocaust
Gordon felt for his keys.
How good it is to get out of the
wind" whispered Louise. This pro-
ceeding smacked so much of the mys-
terious that whispering followed as a
natural sequence.
They stepped within. 1t was inky
black.
Lock the door," said Langford, in
a low voice.
Gordon complied. surprised, but ask
ing no question. He knew his friend,
and had faith in his judgment. Then
he lighted a lamp that stood on hiH
desk.

Louise. grayely.

duction. thus striking at the very foun-
dalton OF industry. 1t is not by such
Ill considered and arbitrary measures
TINT the defects in our great agencies
OF production and distribution are to
be corrected. The Bryan notion that
real relief for economic distress can
be obtained and the interests of the
people promoted by restricting the pro-
duction OF those staples upon which
their existence depends is as fantastic
as the Bryan notion that the congress
OF the United States by mere fat "can
make silver bullion worth S1.20 an
ounce everywhere in the world"
Nobody is surprised that Mr.. Bryan
is all wrong on this question. He Is
always wrong on financial and eco
nomic problems He never proposed a
measure that stood the test OF reason
or judicial scrutiny. The public will
never marvel at him until he has ac-
tually got on the right side of ques-
ton Of national Importance. and that
unique spectacle is evidently reserved
to the distant future.

Bryan's Worst Proposal.

Far and away the most dangerous
Of Mr.. Bryan's policies in their bearing
upon the productive enterprises OF the
country is his demand that no inter
state corporation shall be allowed to
control more than so per cent of the
total amount of any product consumed
in the United States. Mr.. Bryan pre-
tends to believe that measure to en-
force that principle would prevent mo-.
nopoly control over staple products
and encourage competition. thus max
ing it dlthcuit If not impossible for
combinations OF capital to dictate the
prices of such commodities.
A brief examination, however, shows
that this new ana allurlng fad of Mr..
Bryan's is quite as ridiculous as any
of the other quack nostrums which he
has exploded In the last twelve years.
1t would be utterly imperative. How
is the yearly output OF given COM
modify to be determined? Shall the
government say in advance how much
wheat, corn, lumber, oil, iron or coal
shall be produced during stated year
and then serve notice that the corpora
ton controlling more than half the
total output of any Of these staples
shall be punished for doing so? Shall
the output for one year be taken as
the basis for determining the limit of
the output for the next year? Shall
the operations of a large and carefully
managed corporation be restricted and
regulated by the output OF smaller and
less efficient competitors? To enforce
that principle would be to stIde bust
ness enterprise. 1t would impose a
penalty upon commercial success, elm
mate the influence OF healthful com
petition and enable small concerns to
place arbitrary restrictioAs upon the
business OF larger ones. BY cutting
down their output the smaller pro-
ducers, under the scheme proposed by
Mr.. Bryan, could compel a greater
competitor, capable OF producing so
per cent of the total, to curtail its pro-
duction and thus throttle the very
competition which Mr.. Bryan is pro-
fessedly so eager to protect.
Mr.. BryRn's proposal is unsound not
only in reason, but in law as well. It
Is in restraint OF trade and against
public policy. 1t seeks to restrict pro-

Vote For Live Mon.

The real purport of the campaign of
1905 can be seen in the respective
speeches of Taft and Sherman and
Bryan and Kern.
Taft and Sherman are optimistic.
Bryan and Kern are pessimistIc.
Taft and Sherman talk of progress
and prosperity. Bryan and Kern talk
of adversely and calamity. Taft and
Sherman point to the couutry's history,
the country's achievements under Re
publican administration. Bryan and
Kern point TO panics and prophesy
evils unheard of. Taft and Sherman
deal in performances. Bryan and Kern
deal In promises: Bryan has never
dealt in anything else. Taft has rec
ord rarely If ever equaled by any
statesman of any nation.
Between these men-Taft and Bryan,
Sherman and Kermit should not be
hard for the honest, intelligent voter
to decide. The American citizen loves
live men. He loves meP who do things.
Bryun and Kern are politically dead
and will be buried on the Sd of next
November.

Troops to Overawe Navajos

Five more troops of the Fifth United States cavalry passed through Williams last Saturday on their way to the Navajo Indian reservation, under Colonel Hunter, who will go north to the Chin Lee country.
 Various rumors are prevalent relative to what their purpose is, but that it is no pleasure trip is indicated by the fact that battery of Gatling guns and forage for a two months campaign was taken along.
 A year ago troops were ordered to return after penetrating through half way to Chin Lee. The In dians beca me hostile and several were killed. Since then trouble has arisen over the water holes between Indians and stockmen on a range adjoining the reservation in that country.
 The Indians are reported heavily armed and excited over the pro- posed allotments and are appar- ently on the verge of an uprising. It is thought a display of armed iprce is being made to prevent an outbreak.

BRYAN AND KERN

Bryan and Kern-this is the Dem cratic national ticket. This is Mr. Bryan's third race for the presidency, he having been the Democratic nominee in 1896 and 1900. John Worth Kern is an Indiana man, and stands high in the regard of people of his state.
 In all probability this is Mr. BrYan's last chance for the presi- dency. and he intends to put mp a great fight. The indications are that the campaign will be one of the most hard fought and exciting since that of 1860
 The Socialists already have their ticket in the field. and the Pro- hibitionists and the Independence party will soon make nominations, but the contest will, of course, be between the Democrats and Re- publicans.
 Both the Democratic and Re- publican platforms declare for the immediate admission of Arizona and New Mexico to statehood, so it would seem that whatever may he the result of the coming election the two territories will, in the near future, come into their own.
