THEIR RANKS
ARE THINNING
Lessening Hosts of the Confederacy
are Gathered in Annual Reunion
in the Magic City

Birmingham, Ala, June 10.-"Tramp,
tramp, tramp, the boys are marching"
Again the United Confederate Vet
Grams, grizzled heroes who fought on
many bloody battlefields for a losing
cause, are assembled in annual re-
union. But the boys gathered today
in Birmingham are old and bent. and
their tramp, tramp, tramp" lacks it's
old-time military precision and vigor,
while the fearsome rebel YELL" which
once rang out so defiantly, is become
quavering and weak. Death has thin
ned the ranks visibly since the gen.
eral reunion in Richmond last year,
and a hush has fallen upon the rem
nants of the vanishing hosts of the
Confederacy because Of the recent
death in Vicksburg of General Stephen
p. Lee, commanderin-ch of the
United Confederate Veterans. The
conclave commenced yesterday in the
Magic City will be a time for recount
iEg past victories and defeats, from
which all the old sectional bitterness
has departed, and for last greetings
and partings between many of the old
veterans who realize that on this &C.
casion they may answer to their last
roll call on earth. Many Federal vet
Grams are here and are fraternizing
with the boys in gray, the enmity be-
tween "Yanks" and "rebs" forgotten.
Despite the solemnity Of the oc-
casion, the war time enthusiasm of
the old Confederates will find express
sion in a big parade and i'm many
spectacular features which will mark
the encampment. Thousands of Sons
and Daughters of the Confederacy are
here and will play a prominent part in
the three days program. Birmingham
citizens, with the true hospitality of
the South, have thrown their doors
open to the Visitors and there will be
many entertainments on lavish scale
Thousands of dollars have been spent
in decorating the city, and all the
principal streets are swathed in bunt-
ing and lined with flags.
San Antonio, Tex, and Atlanta, Ga.
are the principal cOntenders for next
years encampment and delegations
from the two cities will make a hard
fight to secure the 1909 reunion. At
lanta is in the field for the 1909 con-
ventions of both the United Confed-
crate Veterans and the Grand Army OF
the Republic, with the object of hav-
ing them meet simultaneously in that
city. Objection is made to- this plan
on account of the fact that no city
the size of Atlanta could possibly FUR
nish adequate entertainment for such
a gathering as would be attracted by
a joint reunion of the blue and the
gray.

TOO MUCH FOR JUNGLE JOE"

BY the side of a certain Illinois SUBJ
urban railway stands a fertilizer fac
tory, which gives out a particularly
offensive smell. A lady WHO frequent

always takes with her bottle of
lavender smelling salts. One morning
Speaker Cannon took the seat beside
Ter. AS the train neared the factory,
the lady opened her bottle Of salts.
Soon the car was filled with the hor-
rible odor of the fertilizer. The Speak

addressing himself to the lady, whom
he saw holding the bottle to her nose,
he said: Madam, would you mind
putting the cork in that bottle?'-
