was a brigade marching on a road leading eastward and on a line south of Gettysburg. Its commander, a colo mel, suddenly found his troops eptan- Eled among the scattered Confederate forces marching nOrthward. Either he must find an outlet or he must be cap tured. Being without a guide and not knowing the country, his position was perilous. Sitting on his horse where two dirt roads met, surrounded by his staff, all wearing anxious faces, the colonel was at loss what route to take. A house stood back in an angle between the roads, and in the doorway stood boy about ten years old. He had never before seen a soldier, and his eyes were wide open with aston iShment and admiration.
 "Boy." said the colonel, pointing, "do you know where that road leads to?
 That road? That leads up on to the Hagerstown turnpike"
 "Straight?''
 "No; crooked"
 "Are there roads forking from itY'
 "Lots of 'em-dirt roads. But if you follow the creek you'll get there"
 Where does the creek cross the Ha- gerstown piks?"
 "'Bout mile from town.''
 "What townY

 "BulIy!'
 Orderly, take him up with you"
 The boy eagerly ran forward. An orderly caught his extended hand and swung him up in front of him. Then the colonel sent an aid to order the brigade to follow.
 Several roads converged toward the point the colonel was making for, and marching in the same direction on his right was a column of Confederate troops. with another on his left. But the three columns were too far apart to know of one another's proximity. Finally the Union men heard sounds on their right. The colonel sent a small force of cavalry in that direction to reconnoiter. They came back, report ing road filled with Confederates.
 "We must get off this road" said the colonel anxiously, and he gave an or der for the command to oblique into the feids on the left.
 There's another road" said the boy. lon ahead, with lot of timber on both sides. You might hide in there"
 A grim smile stole over the features of the members of the staff at the idea of troops hiding from an enemy, but the colonel, too keenly sensitive to the situation to notice the way the boy had

 about that field where was to
 be fought the great decisive battle of the civil war-Gettysburg. Meade's army was concentrating from different directions, each corps as it arrived taking position along that line of hills, one of which is now covered with stone and marble mementos of the thousands who fell in that gigantic struggle. Lees army was marching from the south, its advance columns as they arrived distributing them selves in positions assigned them by the commander in chief, the whole when complete to form an attacking force.

Dressmakers May Strike.

New York, Dec. 13.-Further meet
ings will be held in this city this
evening by the Ladies Waist AMI
Dress Makers Union, who are threat
ening another general strike. When
the workers walked out of the shop
in which they were employed two
years ago they were supported by
practically all the rich women of the
city.
The season for making waists and
dresses for the spring trade is now
beginning and the meetings will be
called on to pass upon demands to
be presented to the operators.
There are about thirty thousand
iwaist-makers and dressmakers in the
ready made clothing trades IN this
city, 80 per cent of whom are women.
The last strike was not a success,

demand, while other returned TO worE

Cooperative Farming for Hawaii.

Honolulu, Dec 13.-That the coop
erative system of small farming and
marketing will eventually become the
chief factor in the prosperity or these
islands is the opinion of Gov. Frear,
who is convinced that this is one OF
the practical essentials for the Ter
rtory's small farmers.
Discussing the proposed co-operat-
i've system in one district in Hawaii
the governor says he thinks the fed
eral experiment stations will early
cause the feature to become definite
and permanent here. There are five
such experiment stations now, all OF
which receive allotments from the
conservation or income tax.

MilkMeed As a Food.

One of the economic triumphs OF the
age is the utilization OF waste materi-

staples is a phase OF this triumph.
The most interesting of these new
weed foods" is milkweed. the COM
mon, wild variety, that grows in every
rocky pasture, in meadows, and by
roadsides in abundance. lts large,
thick. smooth leaves are familiar to
all, and its deep, dull pink tuft Of
flowers. and later its seed pods, filed
with delicate floss and fiat brown
seeds. When it is broken off, thick
white, milky juice exudes. This is
rich in nutrition. This common and
luxuriant weed is now being cult
waited in gardens as a valuable food
staple. and makes one of the most de-
licious of vegetables. 1t tastes almost
exactly like asparagus. and is cooked
in much the same way as spinach. II

salts and nutrition, and is easily cul
