the unknown. Outside, on the length
ening ridges and between the abrupt
hilisides of that intricate battle field,
lay the eneampments of the two hos

There were few camp fires. At times
could be heard the voice of sentry
challenging, or the drawn out clatter
of horseman on the stone pavement
of the cemetery,
The night passed, and daybreak
found the cautious General Meade
still listening to the reports of his di-
vision commanders. to their stories
of misfortune, and plans for strength
ening the line OF battle. The unpro-
tected North lay at his back; in his
front a general whose resourceful-
ness was unfathomable and who
ranked as a military genius. To pic

dim, and to foresee what would be
the thing wanted there, at the given
point, at the given moment. on the
morrow, was the well nigh insuper-
able task Of the Northern general
The unexpected was certain TO be-
fall both officers and men, and they
must be ready to perform miracles ii
need be. An instance of this kind
was the fight of the Twentieth Maine
on Little Round Top, in memory OF
which the colonel of the regiment.
Joshua L. Chamberlain, for his great
tenacity and his daring heroism, re-
cefved the Medal OF Honor.
Little Round Top had escaped the
vigilance of the Federal commanders.
This was the smaller of two rough
hills, strewn with boulders and bare,
slippery rock. rising sharply from a
wooded swamp, behind which
stretched the Confederate battle line.
At the foot of Little Round Top a
body of Union troops had been posted.
Only One Man For Defense.
1t was now afternoon. Lees at
tack was expected momentarily. and
every man was waiting intently, with
his eyes fixed upon the open space
that separated the two armies. Just
at this time, by a fortunate chance,
1t occurred to General Meade to order
General Warren to ride over the field
in the direction of the Round Tops.
Warren did so. and when he came to
the foot of Little Round Top be left
his horse and climbed to the summit.
What was his surprise to find at this
point only one soldier, an officer Of
the signal corps, He no sooner
looked about him that 1t became in
stantly clear to him that the top OF
this hill, where there we're no troops,
and which had been abandoned for a
signal station, was in reality the key
to the whole position. His astonish-
ment gave place to CONSERVATION.
With his glass he noted a thickly
wooded ridge beyond the swamp:
there, he surmlsed, the enemy was
already forming his lines, to burst
suddenly upon the Union troops at
the base, where in the screening
woods nothing could be known Of the
movements of the enemy until the
Confederates were upon them. To

But a spirit awoke in the air, Lad,
And Swallowed the light of the bars,
And threatened TO tear
From their regal place there
On the blue Of our banner stars.
The story grows old in the telling.

That the brave, loyal hand
OF each son Of the land
BE pledged for the life Of a star.
And something deep down in the breast
Lad,
Leaped up at the voice of that call,
And the tread Of a host
Rose, as marched TO their post
Those heroes, to conquer or fall
And War rode his terrible charger
Through the valleys that love had mad,
fair.
But God, in His might
Helped the hand raised for right
Crush the spirit that rose in the air
The story is sad to tell. dear.
But-the stars are still shining on high.
Tho tine myriad graves
Where the summer grass waves
Are voices TO answer us why.

there will be hurried from now on.
Yesterday the forestry officials said
they hoped to get the work finished
by October /, SO that the bison might

they are unable to do this, temporary

RESIDENTS PROPOSE

PEOPLE ON EAST SIDE OF RAT
TLESNAkE DESIRE TO OPEN
EAST FRONT STREET.

One Of the most extensive and. at
talkcd-of enterprises WHICH has ever
been started for the betterment of the
city by the improvement district pan
is the proposition which certain of the
residents ON Jackson street. near the
Missoula river. are pushing forward
The proposition which these people are
boosting calls for lot of work and
some expensive work. too, but they are
going about it quietly and when they
are through with ii they will have i'm
proved the property in their locality
200 per cent. The plan which they
are following is to open up East Front
street, which at present ends at Mon
roe. clear to Van Buren,. The street
was stopped in the first place because
the creek runs back of Monroe. and
1t was thought cheaper to divert the
traffic from the street To the Cedar
street bridge. On the other side OF
the stream the property holders are
practically cut off from town. There
is no street to speak of and a round
about course must he followed tn reach
the city. The residents there now plan
to buy UP the property blocking the
street and build bridge across the
creek. thus making Front street clear
all the way to the Van Buren, street
bridge. and not only opening up their
own street but giving better APP
proach to the bridge than can be gotten
at present. With one or two cxcep-
tons. the whole neighborhood is in
favor of the move. and. despite the
opposition Offered by these few. il looks
as if the plan was To be successful
and as though work would start before
long.
