Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.

in the churches pealed out the news OF
the coming Of the blue and the town
went wild.
OF all the scores of girls who well
coined the vanguard OF Meade, only
half dozen could be found, and they
stood, white-haired with tears in their
eyes on platform in the big tent and
sang to the weeping soldiers in the
seats below.
I'm afraid we can't sing like we
sang so years ago" said the ma
tronly woman who acted as leader as
she led the way up the steps to the
platform.

The great reunion of the blue and
the gray on the battlefield of Gettys-
burg has passed into history. 1t was
in all respects the most unique gath
ering of the soldiers of the COS ever
held. Men who fought each other
fifty years ago this year fraternized
as long-separated brothers. Naturally
such a gathering would be productive
of many incidents, both pathetic and
humorous. AS many stories were
floating about as there we're veterans
at the reunion.
The camp is full Of unexpected
meetings. Every day brings forth nu-
merous meetings between men who
have not seen one another for many
years. Many are commonplace, but
some are extraordinary. For In
stance, here Is one:
/. d. Munsee of Erie county, Penn
sylvania, soldier in the 111th Penn
sylvania, was captured by the con-
federates at Peachtree Creek, Ca,
when he was one of Sherman's army
on the celebrated march to the sea.
He was being conveyed to the rear
by a confederate soldier when the
union batteries opened fire upon the
party among whom he was a pris-
oner. The man who was guarding
Munsee was hit and fell, knocking
Munsee down and lying on top Of
him.
Seeing his chance of escape, Mum
see lay very still under the uncon-
scious confederate while the battle
ragged around them. That night he
slipped from under the body and es-
capped to the union lines.
81 thought that fellow was dead"
said Munsee, "but l saw him today.
Poor fellow, his minds bad, and he
didn't recognize me, but was sure Of
him. l couldn't even get his name, but
I'm goin over later to the Georgia
camp and try to find out who he is"
Here is a story which was told by
A. T. Dice, vice-president Of the Read
ing railway:
Once upon a time there we're a vet
eran in gray and veteran In blue.
They came to Gettysburg and In the
course of events and visits to hotels
they happened to meet. They looked
over the sights of Gettysburg and the
monuments of the field. But they
found they must part.

the one in gray in New Orleans. They
went weeping together to their sta
ton and passed by train after train,
deferring the parting that must come.
Just what they said, just how they
reached the final grand idea Of the
meeting, Mr.. Dice did not know.
But, however, yesterday they finally
decided that the time for parting had
come. The one from Oregon could
not figure how to reach home via New
Orleans and his gray comrade, while
willing to see the west, didn't have
the money for ticket
They lined upon on the platform as
their trains stood waiting and then
before the crowd, they slowly stripped
of their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious flocked
to see them.

proudly away with one Of gray and

The meat packing establishments

Forty.seven Democratic senators
stood up in the party caucus one by
