A Gettysburg Veteran.
One of the Gettysburg soldiers or
this county is c. J. Nelson of Cincin-
natl. He says that his health will not
permit his going back for the reunion
this year. even if the state does pay
the fares of all those who want to go.
Besides being at Gettysburg, Mr.. Mel
son saw some other, exciting events
during the war. He had the distinc.
ton of being attached to Gen. Phil
staff as orderly IN the
valley, and was with him
on his famous ride to Winchester. He
can tell some thrilling tales OF carry'
ing dispatches through country in
tested with rebels. Mr.. Nelson says
he has some serious trouble with his
heart, SO that he is afraid to go away
from home on such long trip as to
Gettysburg unless he had somebody
with him. Nm

The Atlanta suffragettes, and anon

Il can arrange that, I think. We can

the water into beautiful colors. Blue

| NCE upon a time there lived
way I'D IN the sky some weeny
~ fairies whose land was the
clouds. You could often see at
sunset the great castles with the glow
OF billowing pink. Well. that was the
kind of country in which the cloud
FAIRIES lived and It was simply beautiful
as the dawn.
Down below in the depth OF a cool.
green forest were some other fairies.
But these lived in the tall. swaying
ferns that grew by the damp brookside.
The prince of the fern faries was called
Ruby. He was a dainty little thing
dressed all in green silk with a silver
crown on his tiny head. But he was
lame-that is, one Of his wings was
broken when he was a bbay. SO he could
never fly well.
On moonlight nights when the air was
heavy with dew the little queen OF the
cloud fairies, whose name was Pearl,
would get into her amber boat and drift
down. floating just above the forest
Here Ruby often saw her. but as he was
too lame to fly UP high, he could only
You love the beautiful queen" said
the princes mother, one night when
she saw her son looking after the am
ber boat floating away in the moon
light But her palace is in the great
piles of clouds above. Go to the Witch
of the Wind-perhaps she may be able
to help you, for she is a great friend
of mine"
Now the Witch Of the Wind lived
just ten miles south Of the North Pole.
But the little lame Prince set out at
| once and walked for a year till he got
to her cavern, in a big iceberg. She
was a good witch-for there are some
good witches in the world. though all
OF that kind live in the ice. Ruby told
her about his trouble
Il am not feeling very WELL" she
said. but 1 will help you II you will
go home and bring me the fern you
keep as your favorite plant"
| So little Ruby went all the way back
home for this fern, which was one he
loved the best 1t took him a year tc
go and a year to get back, but he made
the trip bravely and at last gave the
witch the plant. though It almost brok,
his little heart to part with the pretty
| fern.
Well" said the witch, "you are {
