"Did You Happen to Know"
ern music by the best band in Kan
sas, and to speeches by Kansas silver
tongued orators
The reunion of this year has been
the most successful of any meeting
held up to date, and several remark
able reunions we're attendant upon it.
Soldiers were gathered from practical
" every state in the Union, to the
number of 325 altogether, while 400
soldiers wives and widows and daugh-
ters were registered. One hundred
and twenty-six tents were fitted up
with all housekeeping appliances, oc-
cupied by old soldiers, their wives,
their sons and daughters and grand,
children The meeting brought to,
gether many family reunions as well
as not a few old soldiers who had
fought side by side during the war
and had not met since.
A feature which attracted greatest
attention and warm praise and
aroused patriotic springs long dor
mant, was the Douglas drum corps,
Seven drummers and ffers who played
their instruments all through the Civil
war, in different regiments and from
different states, chanced at the close
Of the war to settle in Butler county,
adjoining Cowley county on the north.
These men discovered years ago each
others occupations during the wa1
and formed the Douglass Drum Corps.
AS much time as these men can spare
from their prosperous farms they de-
vote to playing at soldiers reunions.
A. P. Douthitt of Cowley county and
William Hill, f1fer of the drum corps
Of Butler county, have lived within
twenty-five miles of one another for 80
years. They were acquainted and
vet this reunion was the occasion of
1eveloping the following between
hem for the first time Douthitt was
IN the camping ground when Hill ar
lived He chanced to ask Hill to
what regiment he belonged.
ITO the Second Wisconsin," replied
Hill
O1Q JOo SNOI A4cPpSA W h11O" u
drummer in that regiment named Her
hal Smalley?" inqTiSed Mr.. Douthitt.
We'll, I should SMILE" Hill replied,
He drummed with me all through the
war He was prisoner at Anderson
Vile, and l lost him"
you did?" queried Douthitt. We'll,
found him. l was taken prisoner at
Chickamauga In Andersonville for
II months Smalley and I slept under
the same blanket every night. He got
smallpox and 1 never took it."
And it was my fife you heard when
we fellows came to release you," Hill
rejoined.
Such incidents were frequent during
he reunion. Crops were forgotten;
the excellence of the wheat; the fail
ure of the corn; the relative merits
of millet and timothy; the superiority
of alfalfa over prairie hay, were not
mentioned Nothing was discussed
but wartime adventures, trials and Oc-
casional pleasures. Closer friendships
we're formed and ries drawn nearer
through the "reminiscences which, ex-
| cept for this model reunion, would
never have been related.
