THE MEMPHIS REUNION
HEADQUARTERS UNITED C.. ".

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. /, 1909. (
L. The General Commanding an
nounces that, according to the custom
heretofore in force, which leaves to the
General Commanding and the Depart
ment Commanders the fixing of the date
OF the Reunion, the Nineteenth Annual
Reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans will be held in the city of
Memphis. Tenn, on June 8, 9, 10, 1909.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
respectively, those days having been
named by our host as satisfactory.
For the fifth time in the brief life of
this Order, the people Of Tennessee
throw open their doors, and invite the
survivors of the glorious armies of the
Confederacy to partake of their hospi-
tality, while the noble and patriotic
citizens of Memphis second time beg
the wearers of the grey to be their
guests. They promise that this second
welcome to their homes and hearts shall
far exceed the grand reception given
eight years ago. No city in the South
has shown such marked advances in
every respect in SD short a period Of
time, and while the cordiality of the
present entertainment will be on a
broader and wider basis, commensurate
with her enlarged condition and greater
commercial Importance, it will not be,
cannot be, more hearty or enthusiastic.
The General Commanding cannot too
earnestly urge his beloved associates to
attend this gathering. Let the old
soldiers come to Memphis in great
crowds-come, because it is centrally
located and easily accessible; come.
because they will find possibly the most
progressive and up-to-date city of the
South; come, because it was once the
home of our only President; come.
because it Is apart of Tennessee, where
lived such Confederate heroes as Alex
ander P. Stewart, Benjamin F. Cheat
ham, VIM. B. Bate, Nathan Bedford
Forrest 1.-THE Wizard of the Saddle''l.
Felix K. Zollicoffer, VIM. H. Jackson
and countless others; come, because on
her sacred soil were fought some of the
most sanguine conflicts of the war
Shiioh, Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge,
Franklin--and because no army of the
Confederacy fought more desperately
or endured so heroically and uncompiain-
ingly more sufferings and hardships
than the immortals of Hoods ARMY.
Let there be such an outpourine of
United Confederate Veterans as was
never known in the past.
III. The General Commanding with
much pleasure announces, at the request
of its most energetic president, Mrs.
w. j. Behan, that the Confederate
Southern Memorial Association will hold
its meeting at the same time.
HI. The General Commanding sim
cerely hopes that the press of the entire
country will endeavor to stir up interest
in the coming meeting, and to this end
he requests that this Order be published.
and editorial comment made thereon.
By command of Clement A. Evans

"REMEMBER THE nAINEr.

E.even years ago. Feb. 10. the Unit.
ed States battleship Maine blew up. or
was blown up. in Havana harbor.
That catastrophe, like the firing on
Fort Sumter, started the nation and
crystallized public opinion into a dec
laration OF war
preceding the Spanish war and dur
Ing its brief continuance the watch
cry in and out of congress was the
slogan:
Remember the Maine-'
Today, eleven years after, the wreck
or the battleship still incumbcrs the
harbor. although in its tangled and
twisted irons are the bodies OF sixty
three American seamen-or what IS
left of them.
Today. eleven years after, Is Just or
ganized the Battleship Maine Memo
RAJ association. TO commemorate an
nually the sinking of the vessel.
Meantime the jagged irons OF the
sunken ship tell TO every visitor the
tragic story or Feb. Is. 1898.
These things are brought "a memory
by the recent annual report of Gov.
ernor Magoon OF Cuba.
The governor says the wreck Is a Sc
rious menace 20 the shipping OF the
harbor, occupying. as It does, the best
anchorage. and that the obstruction
has increased each year by causing a
shoal. Worse than this obstruction.
however, says the governor,is the fact
that this wreck is
Apparently ABANDONED and
FORGOTTEN by the government and
people OF the United Statesr'
Is II not so?
Ihere was always q mystery about
the sinking OF the Maine, and prob
ably the mystery never will be reveal
ed. Was it destroyed by a torpedo or
mine, or was there an internal explo-
sion? Was the explosion an accident
or was 1t planned by Cuban trickery
or Spanish malice?
However that may be. the governor
well says In his report that the neglect
OF this government TO dispose os the
wreck In seme manner has become "a
national reproaeh and an international
scandal"
Which serves occasion 10 say:
We Americans are mercurial peo-
pie. We arc easily touched by n mat
ter OF national honor or sentiment
And we easily forget. Ono day we
arc al afams with our shouting OF
''Rsmembef tho Maine!'' The days
pass, and by and by all memory Of our
passion has passed.
We cali the French people volatile.
And they are.
Butsafs they more SO than we?

a HERO STORY.

You cannot match this story from
any other age In the worlds history,
because
Well. read the story:
Last summer John Schwendinger Of
Dubuque, H., a big, strong. native
Austrian. went on a picnic with other
employees Of the frm\for which he
worked. Bathing and swimming in
the river were part OF the days sport.
Schwendinger was on the bank In
the act OF dressing when a cry attract
ed his attention. A young man named
Traut. who was poor swimmer. had
become exhausted and was drowning.
Going TO Traut's rescue, Schwen-
dinger was handicapped by the latter
grasping his would be rescuer about
the neck
Instead of breaking Trauts hold and
saving himself the brave Austrian per-
sisted In his efforts TO save the drown
ing man. The two were carried out
I'm the current beyond the reach Of
aid and went down.
When the bodies were found Trauts
arm was still locked about the Aus
TRANS neck.
Heroic? Yes. you say, but such
things often happen.
But wait The best OF the tale Is TO
come.
Schwendinger was a married man.
and there are a wife and seven children
In this story besides the hero. And
six OF the children are under sixteen
years OF age.
Tho hfu baro u-ho dga,J o. ~. s~,,.-
was sober and Industrious. without a
relative In this country, and was dis
tinguished for his love of his family.
Can you imagine the awful bereave-
ment OF this family when the body of
the poor husband and father was
brought homer
Can you fancy the future that front
ed the stricken wife? Resides tho
burden OF his big family, Schwendinger
was buying a home.
Then the people OF Dubuque did this
beautiful thing:
They made a subscription amount
Ing to $1,000 to pay off the mortgage
on the home and to enable the widow
TO live for n time.
Then came the Carnegie hero fund.
The trustees OF that fund sent n spe-
cial representative TO Dubuque last
month to investigates.
And now the widow OF the hero Is to
receive 500 per month during her life
and the six children S. per month.
Was l wrong In saying you could
not match this story In the annals of
any other age? Because
Never before was there n hero fund
to draw upon. Let the photographers
poke fun ut Carnegie's tainted mon
ey." Tho more OF IL that goes as this
Dubuque fund went the better.

Then Mr.. Parkins came to the front
like a man. He introduced himself to
the victim and talked OF America and
gas wells and dollars. There was en-
thdsiasm In his voice az he tslked Of
the gas that would continue to pour
out of the earth Cor centuries to come.
and he worked up considerable pathos
over the admission that be hadn't
enough wells to supply over half the
United States Mr.. Parkins had done

A day or two later his lordship

Miranda stroued mp the same path.
His lordship was overtaken Just IN

out on an overSansfng rock that would

and dropped her into the valley q mile

The half fainting girl and the shat

path to the hotel, and Mr. Parkins
found them In bed 10 recover from the
shock. He heard the story and then
rushed downstairs When he appeared
half an hour later there was a bland
smile on his face. and he was rubbing
his hands.
Mr.. Parkins, what have you doneY'
asked the wife as she sat up In bed.
Have you been saying anything TO his
lordship?"
"Now. don't you folks get into a
sweat about me-" replied Mr.. Parkins.
"Mebbe 1 haven't polished up quite as

when to do the right thing for all
