A Yankee sc,,oorreacher in tho South

Editor National Tribune: Reminis-
cences of those who traversed the
southern section of the Union from
1851 to 1865 are well presented In Inc
National Tribune. These people Were
panoplied inIinstruments OF oeatn, anu
the records of those fearful years, oin
tho they be, are now pages OF histoIy
for the generations who come after.
The writer of this, as boy, green, not
familiar with history, had no education
of book Kind, was In those DAYS
clothed in hue, carried musRet ana
marched and marched. Never knew the
destination nor periods OF starting or
stopping of the tramping expeditions.
Ignorance and obedience-these are the
virtues of soldiers who will not rebel
against authority. The year 1865 found
the writer free from the restraints Of
army discipline, g. wreck physically,
with no home to which to go save to a
mother, struggling with the specter
poverty, with some younger sisters and
brothers, and there he went and asked
to die. No physical power, health gone,
no education, not knowing even the
multiplication table, barely knew how
to read; no means of gaining living.
1ncapacitated thus, who would not wish
to die? The battles and the fields upon
which they have been fought up to this
day were unlike those between Oppos-
ing bodies of men. They were battles
against ignorance, against diseases and
defects of body, mind and heart, and
battles against fellows in power to get
| justice meted out. In fact, we never
cease being soldiers, never cease bat
| Ting till the last roll call is heard on
earth among men. The whole world
is a battle-ground, and the whole people
are arrayed against man and man and
nature and God. 1 have become phil

federate soldiers in Tennessee, in Geor-

Carolina, in Missouri, and, behold! this
Yankee school teacher wore the blue
from 1862 to 1865. THE pen is might

Pulp Wood.

Spruce, hemlock and poplar made up
80 per cent of the total quantity of pulp
wood used. The remainder was sup
piled by many species, the most impor-
tant of which We're pine, cottonwood
and balsam. The wood used by the
pulp mills last year cost them a little
more than $2S,000,0O0 or an average
of $8.3S per cord, against an average of
1921 in 1907.f The most costly wood
used was imported. spruce, with an av-
erage value OF $1,000 per cord. The
average for domestic spruce was sS.76
per cord and foropoplar sS.O4 per cord
The cheapest wood which was used in
large quantity was hemlock, the cost
being $500 per Owing to the
uncertain business conditions, the total
consumption of pulp wood in 1908 was
nearly 16 perscent less than in 1907,
but this did not prevent a considerable
increase in the price of wood. The high
price of wood is making the manufac-
turers be constantly on the lookout for
cheaper raw material, and one-of the
most encouraging Developments has
been the increased use of slab wood and
other sawmill waste. This drift in the
industry is clearly indicated by the fact
that 193,234 cords of mill waste were
reported as consumed in pulp manu-
facture during 1907, while 252,896
cords, an increase of 80 per cent, were
used in 1908.

Who Has the Records?

Editor National Tribune: For many
years have had charge of a book con-
tanning a full roster of all members of
the 1st Mass; their full military record;
their political, business and military
history since the war; their place of bu-
rial, If dead, and their addresses, If liv-
ing. We follow our men from Maine
to California, from the United States to
any portion of the earth wherever they
may be; We never fail to send them our
circulars, whether they respond or not;
whether they are millionaires, and we
have two or three such, or whether,
physically apdrfinancially wrecked, they
now are being taken care of in some
Soldiers Home: Il is all the same to US;
we remember them for what they were
in the old days. During 1862 a large
number of recruits were enlisted in
Massachusetts, for our regiment, by
Capts. Adam and Chamberlain, of the
regiment, who were home on recruiting
duty. After being sworn into service
they were started for the front in de-
tachments of from 20 20 100 men, un-
der charge of some commissioned or
non-commissioned officer, but that was
the time of the beginning of giving
bounties, and. sad to relate, over ESQ
of them never reached The regiment.
In making up statistics for our history
we never acknowledge that these miss
| Ing men ever WE'RE IlfeT1UeTS OI the ISL
Mass. In every case where an attempt
has been made to-trace any of these
men thenWar Department replies that
all they know about them is that they
were forwarded from Massachusetts on
a roll of such a date. AS many as SO
per cent of some of the detachments
never reached the regiment. 1t seems
to us that the officer in charge of each
detachment must have had to account
for them to the commandant of some
recruiting or distribution camp near
Washington, pending their being
forwarded to their regiments; but
evidently the War Department has
no knowledge of any reports
from commandants that convey any
information about the matter l
write to The National Tribune to ask If
it cannot set in motion a search for in

In the homecoming both of the
recruits delivered to such camps and of
the fact that some had deserted en-
route. Undoubtedly other regiments
have had the same experience.-Isaac

Rebellion Still Lives.

Editor National Tribune: Excusa me,
but cannot help speaking out. 1t
makes my blood boil to see this old
war-cry advocate to the proud Robert
Lee school in Philadelphia. Is it a civ
ilized city or is it Secessionist jeff
Davis on Cabin John Bridge, and now
comes up jeff Davis on the silver SER
vice! l thought secession was dead; /
have been trying to think so. 1t causes
the shudders to roll over me when
see, read and know such black proceed
ings. If they would only give us old
veterans a chance to say word we
would try to bury such old secessions
so deep they never would come to light,
if possible. We manfully contended
with this thing once, and now in our
old declining years and strength about
gone it is hard to have such insults put
onto us and our children. While l be-
lieve in being kind and brotherly to the
South, for there were lots not to blame,
when this old hatchet shows signs of
rising we must bury it. and aim to put
it deep down. l beg of you to fight it
with all your power.-T l.. Lowden,

The Flag of Morning Skies.

(Air: Sweet Genevieve"O
Oh, Flag of morning skies of blue,
OF silver light and rosy rays,
OF opening flowers and fragrant dew,
The herald of resplendent days.
From Heaven thou camest to the earth
The joys of Heaven on earth to bring,
For Truth and Freedom have their birth
Where Gods own holy angels sing
Chorus:
oh. starry Flag! Beloved my own,
The morn of Hope to all the world;
For Freedom only holds the throne
Where'er thy glory is unfurled.
My country's Flag for thee the stars
Have fallen from their heavenly
home,
And lightning's glory-laden bars
Across thy crimson have their home
Thy stars to millions light the path
To happy days for each and all:
Thy lightning shafts In holy wrath
Cause errors dungeon walls to fall.
Chorus.

Little Miss Rosalind Stahl. who is 10
years old, going on II, came to the
STAR office today Ind said she wished
to contribute to the STARS Free Ice
and Outing Fund.
"I have a little money for the babies"
said Miss Stahl, whereupon she pro-
duced O. small. heavily laden, home
made money sack and poured it's ON
tents out on the counter
There ought to be $50 of Them" de-
clared Miss Stahl, cause that Is just
how many pennies we made, me and
two Of the neighbors' boys, and I
counted them three times before 1
started down."
The first count showed 149 pennies
and Miss Stahl, with a worried quicker
between her eyebrows, Immediately
moved for a recount, and the motion
carried without any tiresome delays.
The second time through showed Isl
pennies and the little contributor was
told tina all that was necessary was
to strike an average and the donation
could be called $3.50 easily. This she
was too conscientious to do and in
sisted on counting them all over again.
The third time was the charm, as it
came out exactly right-150. Miss
Stahl told how she and her two small
friends had made up their minds that
they simply must do something to help
the poor little babies get a breath of
fresh air and a cooling drink OCCASION
ally, SO that they set up a lemonade
stand. Charged a penny a glass and
got all this" she said.
Literally allowing for the spirit of
the thing, this Is one of the largest
and most acceptable gifts to the fund
which has yet been received.
John Nieder, the manufacturer, presi-
dent of the Excise Commission, en-
closed a $25 check In the following note,
which was received at this office today:
STAR Free Ice and Outing Fund:
Observation-Disclosures you will find
my check for S25, which l wish applied
to the STARS free ice and outing fund.
Yours truly, JOHN NIEDER."
James De Jaime, the well-known
restauranteur, was another contributor
to the fund today, sending his check for
IS, with best wishes. New gifts of yes
terday were IS from the Equitable
Bowling Club and 81 from the Little
Glen Ridge Girls.
The third special outing under the
auspices of the STAR for sick babies
and their mothers Is to be held July 10
n called the Hahne & Co. outing,

with a gift of 500.
The Jersey Biscuit Company will help
this outing with a supply of biscuits.
