badly wounded and lost leg. 1t was
weary work for us to do after our
long and arduous march of the day,
but many human lives were at stake
A few moments time meant life or
death to many of them. Amid the
wicked whirring Of the rife balls and
exploding shells the wounded were
searched out and carried to the rear
Of Little Round Top to an improvised
hospital, where their injuries were at
tended to. Many died on the stretch
ers while being carried off the field.
We beheld scenes that day which
can never be effaced from behold
er's memory. Up to midnight we re-
NAMED on detail. We lay down on
the bare ground and fell aslesp, to be
awakened by the boom of the rebels
cannon in the early morning of the
third days battle.
Early in the afternoon, away OF to
our right, we could hear the booming
of the cannon and see the long line
of Pickett's forces emerging from the
y
start on their ever memorable but
fatal charge upon the center of the
Union line
We watched their lines advancing
under the storm of shot and shell
from the Union cannon. Great gaps
opened up their lines, which were
promptly filled up, and by the time
the Emmitsburg pike was reached we
lost sight of them in the great vol
ume of smoke which enveloped them
The musketry was terrific. Then
came orders for our brigade to move
to the right. But the conflict was
over before we could reach the scene
We were then hurried back to the
Round Tops to protect our left flank.
Our next position was on the right.
General Russeps Third brigade being
to the left of the Taneytown pike, fac

During the night of July 3 our regI-
ment took up a position near the sum-
NIT of Big Round Top, where we
spent our Fourth Of July, 1863. On
Sunday morning, July 5, the Sixth
corps received orders to follow Lees
army on its retreat Lees rear guard
was encountered at Marsh Run
Bridge, about three miles from Get
tysburg. A few pieces of artillery be-
ing brought to bear on them, they
soon skedaddled At Fairfield. Pa.
we had quite a lively skirmish with
them, after which they fell back
through the mountain passes towards
Emmitsburg. All along our line of
march that day every house and barn
was filled with wounded men Of Lees
army. At about 10 o'clock that wing
received orders to report at Hagers-
town. and from thence we marched to-
face Lees army at Williamsport, on

SANDWICHES EASY TO MAKE

The picnic season-hence the sand

titles of these unfailing requisites are
required, try the following plan and
see how easily this trying work can
be done: Cut the crusts from loaf
of bread with four strokes of a sharp
knife-front, back and sides, then
cut the crustless loaf in half, butter
each half where you cut the loaf, slice
piece of bread from each half, put in
filling and the slices will exactly fit.
Proceed, cutting one slice from each
side of loaf. Wrap in waxed paper,
and you will have dainty, symmetrical
sandwiches when the luncheon basket
is opened.

brown seems to be having quite a
vogue this season.
Newest, of course. are the small sail

high crown. These are somewhat try
ing to many types Of women, but look
exceedingly well on the girls who are

Not many are yet seen, but they

popular-priced lines, but If one desires

Harry felt that there was nothing
he could do which would sufficiently
show his gratitude to the Count
Everything was Strengthening out
nicely. To git rid of the Count would
be simple. AS his German tutor,
what could be more natural than for
the Count to put on his hat and walk
away? And then there was the quick
manner in which the Count had raj
lied to his support. Evidently, in
spite of his grievance, the Count was
man who would not stand or sit
idly by and see fellow man suffer
because of a mistake, or a combina-
ton of mistakes.
With a quiet wink to the Count,
Harry said to Lucy and her father:
Il want to take you around the
grounds bit, now. Count Won Fitz
will excuse us, know"
Most certainly the Count replied,
grandly. "Und l will pursue my
studies"
But more noise was heard from the
hallway, and Harry flinched. He
could not imagine what further trou-
Bile fate had in store for him, but he
had experienced so much in this brief
time, and his nerves were on such
wire edge, that he knew any unusual
noise meant trouble, and any unusual
silence might mean worse.
What can it be?" Lucy asked in
alarm.
Let us go and see," Medders said.
They were saved the effort, for Car
olyn came running in, her eyes big
with alarm, and her face white with
fright. She rushed to Harry and
chung to him.

GREAT CATTLE king.
Owns Millions of Acres of Land
in Three States.
Ranches of Henry Miller Are Verita'
BILE Paradises for Tramps-Once
Bought All the Sheep In
Nevada.

San Francisco, Cal.-The cattle
king of the country Is Henry Miller,
who owns millions of acres in Cali
fornia, Nevada and Oregon. Most OF
this land is used for cattle and sheep
ranges but about 80 per cent, is cult
waited, the crops being used to fatten
live stock. Cattle raising Is his bust
ness and he has made a tremendous
success of it, and is worth $20,000,0OO.
He buys cattle and sheep and hogs,
lean or fat, runs them on his own
ranches, shipping them from ranch
to ranch to utilize all the grass and
stubble, puts his own grain into them,
and when they go to market they al
ways make profit. He buys in tre-
mendous quantities. He once ordered
his head sheep foreman to buy all the
sheep for sale in Nevada at any rea-
sonable price. The foreman bought
all but $4,000 head, which were held
at five dollars apiece, which he
thought was too high He reported
to Mr.. Miller In southern California.
Without "a pause Mr.. Miller said
take the next train to Nevada and
buy them"
His ranches are models of neatness
and order and thrifty management.
Every one of them is under Mr.. Mill
er's direct, personal supervision and
for forty years he has been travelling
from ranch to ranch. inspecting his
property. directing the planting OF
crops and the movement of his herds,
buying and selling. Each ranch is
managed by foreman who has sub
foremen for the farming and for the
care of the cattle and the sheep.
Over several ranches constituting a
group is a superintendent. But every
ranch is under the constant personal
supervision of Miller himself. He
visits them at unexpected times and
closely examines everything. He re-
CARDS wastefulness as a crime and
everything in and about the ranch
