Cnrns BADGE Ont of Place.

Editor National Tribune: On recent
visit to the Gettysburg battlefield I was
surprised to find upon monument
erected by a Maryland regiment of the
Confederate army the emblem of the
Eighteenth Corps of the United States
Army. This, you will remember, is that
ornamental form of the Greek Cross
which has the trefoil of architecture
for each of its equal arms.
The monument that bears this en-
blem is intended to mark the fartheSt
advanced position gained by the Con-
federates on the southern slope of
Culp's Hill. Its location is therefore
important and is of interest to every
thoughtful visitor but the emblem that
1t bears is misleading, for no one seems
able to give any other reason for its
appearance there than that it was a
fancy of the sculptor or designer, who
saw some emblem upon every monu-
ment and this beautiful one was not
among them.
known to have used this emblem. and
the Eighteenth Corps of the U. s.
Army was not in the battle of Gettys-
burg. hence its use upon any monu-
ment that is intended to be battle
marker in the Gettysburg National
Park is inappropriate. I believe that
it will yet be generally so regarded, not
only by those who wore the blue, but
by our brothers who wore the gray
There should be a grander, a more
educational idea shown in the construc-
ton of every monument intended for
that historic field than to make it SIM
ply beautiful memorable. A. Gill

An Open Letter to the United States
Congress.


Gentlemen: AS an old Kentucky vet
eran of the civil war l want to bring
before your honorable body one great
question that should have your imme-
diatc attention soon as you assemble
together to enact laws. Your patriot
ism should center on giving the old
soldiers justice in every department of
the Government that they saved and
made what it is. All fair minded men
know that certain laws and rulings have
deprived the old soldiers from getting
any appointments in the Government
service. The old soldiers school days
have passed, and they cannot pass
Civil Service examination to compete
with the college applicants that go be-
fore the Civil Service examinations All
the wise lawmakers know this to be a
fact: so. gentlemen, you should not
hesitate TO pass law granting the old
soldiers Government employment in po-
sitions where they are competent to
discharge the duties involved. There
are thousands of Government positions
that do not require a finely educated
man to fill. So. gentlemen, you should
pass resolution making an honora BILE
discharge qualification for Govern
have too much patriotism to ask an
appointment where they are not compe-
tent to discharge the duties involved.
So, gentlemen, view the old soldiers in
tercsts and govern yourselves accord
ingly. Yours for justice-Henry NJ.

notice of that brave regiment, the Sd

The mince pies used in the White
House for its Christmas dinner were
made of homemade mince meat, jar
of which Mrs. Philander c. Knox, wife
of the Secretary of State, sent to Mrs.
Taft. The mince meat was made by
Mrs. Knox herself, and it 10 said that
she can make mighty fine mince meat,
too. The President is extremely fond
of pie, as We have heard a number of
times, and more especially when Aunt
Della comes to the front. Her specially,
however, is apple pie. The President is
also very fond Of spiced sausage, and to
him Mrs. Knox send a wad of baby pig
sausage, spiced to the Kings taste. Mrs.

The talk in the House of Representa-

going to be followed so far as public
buildings are concerned. Twenty-six
million dollars is the job-lot cost of
public buildings authorized by the last
session of Congress. The Secretary of
the Treasury did not include any of
these items in his annual estimates. and
says the Treasury at this time cannot
stand the drain such large appropria-
ton would make. The NJ. C.'s inter-
ested in having public buildings In their
various districts are much enraged at
this. and declare now that there should
be no appropriation made for the mil
lion-dollar post office which the District

Silencing the Questioners.
A French gentleman who had been
with M. de Talleyrand for twenty
years accompanied him to the congress
at Vienna after Napoleon's exile to
Elba. People naturally concluded that
this long intimacy had made him IA
miliar with number of particulars OF
the minister's life and bearing also
upon the events with which he had
been mixed up. Worried with ques-
lions, the friend invariably replied that
he knew nothing but the questioners
would not be satisfied and returned to
the charge.
"Very WE'LL" finally said Talleyrand's
confidant; "Fll tell you a peculiar and
altogether unknown fact in connection
with M. de Talleyrand. Since Louis
XIV. he's the only man who can open a
soft boiled egg with one backward
stroke of his knife without spilling
drop Of the contents Of the shell. That
is the only popularity know in con-
uectiOn with him."
Discretion had scored a decisive vic
tory. From that moment the cues
lions ceased.
