The question is very often asked The
National Tribune whether one not a
member of the Grand Army of the Re-
public has any right to wear the Grand
Army badge
Army is copyrighted and belongs to the
organization known as the Grand Army
of the Republic. and the little bronze
button or bronze badge cannot be worn
by anyone not entitled to wear it, Inder
the rules of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and any person having no
right to 1t and who wears it commits
q misdemeanor. as it must be worn for
the purpose of misleading the public,

ment was made that the only two in
stances of Vice President being re-
elected were those of Daniel d. Tomp-
kins and John c. Calhoun. Two others
were also reelected. John Adams held
the office thru both of Washington
terms. George Clinton. having pre-
viously been Governor of New York for
p years, was chosen Vice President for
Jefferson's second term, dying in office
shortly before the time expired. In
the same number of The National Trib-

Shiloh Anniversary
The 44th anniversary of the battle OF
Shiloh was fittingly celebrated in Ma
rion, Iowa, by Robert Mitchell Post and
Corps, and the Sons of Veterans under
the direction of John 3. Brown, Pa
triotic Instructor.
Capt. S. w. Rathbun, Commander of
the Post, presided. The program con-
sisted of music, speeches and recita-
ticns, and was very fine.
The addresses were all "reminiscences
of the great battle as the various
speakers as well as the music were the
fact that the soldiers were simply boys
in their teens and that Grant would
have won the battle even had Buell.
failed to make his arrival.
SIocum at Gettysburg.
j. w. Hinkley, Captain. Sd Wis,
Green Bay, Wis, says that his regiment
left the vicinity of Two Taverns about
2:30 p. m. July 1; marched nearly to
Gettysburg; turned from the road on
the east side of Rock Creek. and be-
fore S O'Clock were sl1irmishing with
the enemy on the slope of Wolf Hill.
His brigade, at least, was in the skir-
mish, and possibly the whole of the
First Division. He doubts if troops any
where marched any faster to get into
battle than they did that day.

battle at Bentonville, and then marched
in Grand Review at Washington in
June, 1865. Was wounded in both
limbs. AS I was only IA years, two

who carried a gun.-R. b. Reynolds.
