The Veteran Saw 1t All.

An old man with silvery hair was
led into the cyclorama Of Gettysburg
in New York by bright-faced little
miss in a jaunty gypsy hat and dress,
and sat down while she described to
him the features of the picture in de-
tail, occasionally asking her ques-
ton or shaking his head slowly, as if
in doubt of the accuracy of her ac-
count. She had described to him in
her own way the on-rush of Pickett's
men and the hand-to-hand conflict at
the stone fence where the Pennsylva-
MIA veterans met the charge of the
Southerners, when he asked, But
where's the artillery, Mag?"
"Oh, you mean the big guns. They're
over there on the hill in row.
''All in row." he asked.
YES" she replied.
He shook his head. Look around"
said he. There must be some more
that are not in line"
yes" she said There are some
down here, but they are all upset and
seem to be broken. l think they are
busted"
"Is that where the men are coming
over the stone WALTZ"
Yes, grandpa"
"Is there a grove of trees?"
yes, grandpa. 1t seems to be full
of men, but the smoke is SO thick you
cannot see them"
"Oh, can see them" he cried.
1t was then noticed by several peo-
pie who were listening to him that he
was blind The little girl said: "Oh,
no, grandpa, you can't see them"
YES. can," he answered. 81 can
see them very well, and the broken
cannon, too"
The child looked at him with inno-
cent surprise as she said: "You are
joking now"
mo, my DEAR" replied the old man.
mo. That was the last thing ever
saw on earth. There was q caisson ex-
ploded there just this side of that
fence, and that was the last terrible
picture ever saw, and I have never
got the picture of 1t out of my mind"

OWA CuuuIIS duu my Gap
tain's quickness.'
Notwithstanding the excited though
systematic preparation for unleashing
the army for the preliminary assault
at Five Forks, the rival captains we're
at the orchard in the rear of the Dean
dwelling, each accompanied by few
men from his company. a small tar
get was tmprovised against tree, and
Banks, having become master of the
ceremonies by skillful tossing Of the
button, he said:
"Comrades-an you, ladies-this
contest requires that the winner shall
strike the target nearest the center.
Comprehend my words, please"
ut Is as you have stated" declared
Isabel, grimly, but with futtering
heart.
Ready" he cried And the two
marksmen gripped their weapons with
steady nerves.
"Aim!-f1re!"
A double report, mingled in one,
broke the stiffness of the orchard.
The face of Banks was beaming. He
knew that, almost imperceptible as 1T
would seem, the shot from the rife Of
his Captain was ahead by fraction
of a second
"Wait!" he intercepted, as all would
have rushed forward us there any
way in which you could identify your
bullet, Captain Diering?"
Yes. My bullet is marked by two
crosses, one on each or opposite
sides"
Good. Then let me tell you all
that Captain Prentiss' rifle has shot
no bullet at all. l loaded the weapon
myself, and Its missile was a portion
of ramrod. Now, forward, and let
us see the result"
Troopers and contestants crowded
around the target, and there was In
stantly murmur of establishment.
In the very center of the target pro-
truded a part of a ramrod, with its
cup outermost. In the cup was part
ly f1attened ball, wedged tightly, and
when the latter was extracted 1T bore
the traces of two cross marks!
What does this mean?" demanded
Captain Diering, angrily.
1.-THE terms were very plain" replied
Banks, with complacent sndle OF tri'
umph. ''Your bullet has not even
touched the target; my captain has hit
the mark plumb center"
"a trick! 1t is not fart"
I'M
maintained Banks, stoutly. This Is
a conquest within the terms.
Turning to Isabel, the faithful or
derby continued:
do not forget, lady, that all is fair
i'm love as in war, where victory is the
goal"
Harold was himself astounded, but
quickly awaiting of Banks remarkable
scheme he stepped to the side Of the
beautiful girl.
Isabel, have not won you?"
Eyes"
At that juncture a distant blast Of
bugles waited through the orchard.
A hurried kiss, a quick "good-by,"
and the captains were galloping swift
ly away to rejoin their regiments
OF the bloody scenes and valorous
deeds which followed, when the boys
of Sheridan swept to and fro in NOR
tai combat with the gray between
Hatchers Rum and Dinwiddie Court
House, the new generation has read
and marveled upon, and the clash Of
saber upon bayonet and the wild yells
Of desperate foenen are still In the
ears of those among the steel-bristling
horsemen of the gallant generals who
now survive.
Both captains lived to see the tri-
umph of the stars and stripes, and in
the tranquil dawn of peace Harold re-
turned to claim his strongly won bride,
fair Isabel Dean.

BOOST AND BOAST.

It's something hard TO tell the diff
ference between a boost and boast.
Denver seems to have entered into
partnership with the Shirley, the lead
ing Denver hotel.
While the Shirley is busily boosting
for Denver and attracting Colorado
tourists. Denver is freely boasting
about the hotel. which has now be-
come far-famed in the Rocky Noun
tain region.
The Shirley, however, has earned
its place. 1t surpasses any hotel in
this part of the country in equipment,
service and menu. It's location is
ideal. It's restaurants are the talk of
Denver. A feature of the restaurants
is the excellent music, which is fur
nished by the best Denver musical
talent.
It's really no wonder that Denver
boasts of the Shirley, nor that such a
hotel is, in itself, boost for Denver
and the Rocky Mountain region.
