CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
A MINNESOTA REGIMENT AT
GETTYSBURG.
BY A. w. MACY.

At q critical juncture during
the battle of Gettysburg, when
the Confederates were pressing
hard at q certain point, Gem
eraI Hancock rode up to a body
of soldiers and inquired "What
regiment Is this7" "The First
Minnesota" was the response.
"Charge that line" commanded
Hancock. Not all the regiment
was there, only eight compa-
nies, 262 men; while the foe
against whom they were to hurI
themselves were many times
that number. But it was theirs
not to make reply or reason
why, and not for one moment
did they think Hancock had
blundered. Into that gate Of
death they plunged, while ar
tilIery and musketry raked them
with shot and shell. Straight
to the mark they went, and
they accomplished what they
were sent TO dc: they checked
the eneny's advance and held
the ground till reinfcrcsments
came UP. But at the end Of
that awful fifteen minutes fifty
of the 262 lay dead, one hum
dred and seventy-five were
wounded, and thirty-seven held
the line Of battle"

Fish, Fertilizer and Soap

No better illustration OF the
wastefulness Of the American
people has been brought to
light since the days when men
said, let us slaughter the
buffalo and we will take the
tallow and hide and let the
carcass go'', than that con,
cerning the great destruction
of the herring fish in Alaska.
Only twenty per cent of these
herring are utilized as food,
vet the enormous amount OF
100000 lbs, of this fish,
which is considered one of the
great food: products Of the seas
in Scotland, Holland and Nor
way, is converted into oil and
fertilizer, this oil being used as
the basis of the liquid soap
which in late years has become
SO popular in this country,
While the government is
spending its millions Of dollars
for the purpose of increasing
the fish supplies in all Ameri-
can waters, yet a concern in
Alaska, known as the Alaska
Oil and Guano Company, is
making its millions by utiliz-
ing herring as L product for
fertillzing, and the Company
has been able to secure gov
erment protection by paying
to the United States one and
two-tenth cents per Darrell Of
200 pounds, amounting to
abuot two-hunderdths Of one
cent per pound. Mt. Willis.
Congressman from Ohio, who
brought out the points in con-
nectlon with this enormous de-
struction of herring, also
showed that IN catching these
fish for the purpose of man
ufacturing fertilizer, that the
Alaskan concern did not make
ny particular selection Of
and if salmon or any
lind of fish were brought
an with the rest in the nets,
that they were. ground into
fertilizer and became a part
of the wicked waste. Mr.. Will
lis said that fisherman went
for herring and added that
when they laid their nets,
obviously there is no getting
out an injunction to keep
other fish from getting in the
nets, and what other fish they
GET and they get salmon, they
use in the same way.'

Mrs Weaver COMPLAINS that her hus-

while he gave her only 20 cents when he

good time he had at Long Beach, detail
ing to her all the dances, dinners and
other social affairs he attended, including
a farewell dinner by two actresses, whom
