An Amateur hi.torv Specialist.

Senator Joe Dixon of Montana is
getting repute as the amateur specialist
in American history, OF the upper
chamber. The Montana man-who is
not AZ years old. by the way-was born
in North Carolina, tho he has lived in
the north almost all his life Natural
ly. being both a northerner and south
erner, he has taken a deep interest in
the campaigns of the Civil war and
knows that era with remarkable ac-
curacy. He had a chance recently to
revel in the old battlefelds which lie
all about Washington, and he was a
liberal education to the party of friends
who had gone out with him in his big
touring car for a general sight see
ing trip.
AT Gettysburg he almost wore out his
party with chasing over the field and
insisting on verifying certain theories
he had long entertained about that
battle.
On the way back to Washington the
party passed thru Frederick, Nd, the
alleged scene of the alleged Barbara
Frietchie's alleged adventure with
Stonewall jackson. He insisted on
SSS9ii5 tiiS liOuSe where Bar para waved
the flag, and an ommodating guide
was able to point it out.
1T has been historically demonstrated
that Barbara Frietchie is fabrica-
tion," suggested an iconoclast.
MIR. Dixon proceeded to elucidate the
historic daia IN support of the theory
that Barbara really did live and wave
the flag; and he got his way, too; no.
body else knew anything about her
