James H. Lansberry of st. Louis.
Mo. who enlisted in the Third Indiana
cavalry from Madison, Ind, recited to
his comrades the details of his cap
ture in the town of Gettysburg by
Confederates so years ago Following
the skirmish just outside of town
which marked the opening of what
was to be a world-famed engagement,
he had been detailed to assist in car
rying a wounded officer to the old
seminary in Gettysburg. While in
town frantic women focked about him
and begged that he tell of the battle.
He remained to tell the story, with the
result that he had to spend several
DAYS in following the Confederate
army as a prisoner. After tramping
so miles over rough country without
shoes he succeeded in escaping and
finally made his way back to Gettys-
burg. where he remained till August
in assisting in the care of the wound
ed, which were housed in the semin-
nary, churches, barns and public build
ings.

Nation Not Finished.

But do we deem the nation COM

men crowding here to this famous
field have set US a great example of
devotion and utter sacrifice. They
were willing to die that the people

Their day is turned into evening. They
look to US to perfect what they estab-
lished. Their work is handed on to
Us. to be done in another way but not
in another spirit. Our day is not over:
it is upon Us in full tide.
Have affairs paused? DoeS the
nation stand still? Is 1t what the so
years have wrought since those days
of battle finished, rounded out, and
completed? Here is a great people,
great with every sorce that has ever
beaten in the life blood of mankind
And it Is secure. There is no one
within its borders, there is no
power among the nations of the earth,
to make 1t afraid. But has it yet

standards set up at its birth, when IL
made that first noble, naive appeal to
the moral judgment of mankind to
take notice that a government had
now at last been established which
was to serve men, not masters? 1t is
secure in everything except the salts
faction that its life is right, adjusted
to the uttermost TO the standards of
righteousness and humanity The

Chief Clerk George G. Thorne of
the state department at Harrisburg
told of the call made by a Union vet
eran early on the morning of the if
tieth anniversary of the start of the
battle, who related that his conscience
troubled him because of the fact that
on that Hateful morning many years
ago he had succumbed to temptation
and stolen quantity of onions from
the Thorne garden, which was located
near the historic Seminary ridge. He
told Thorne that he desired, at this
late day to pay for the onions and
thus relieve his conscience.
Needless to say, his offer of money
was refused, but the Thornes would
like to learn the identity of the sol
diers who upset eight beehiyes in the
dead of night and appropriated all the
honey they contained.

VETERANS HEAR 1
The PRESIDENT
MIR. Wilson Delivers Address at
Gettysburg Celebration.
DRAWS LESSON FROM BATTLE
Declares Great Army of the People
Must Fight Peacefully to
Perfect the Nation
All Love.

Getty sburg, Pa, July National
day In the semicentennial celebration
Of the Battle of Gettysburg was made
especially notable by an address de-
liVered by President Woodrow Wilson.
In his audience were many thousands
of the veterans who fought in the
great battle, as well as a great throng
of other visitors.
The presidents address follows:
Friends and Fellow Citizens: l need
not tell you what the battle of Gettys-
burg meant. These gallant men in
blue and gray sit all about us here.
Many of them met here upon this
ground in grim and deadly struggle.
Upon these famous fields and hillsides
their conrad es died about them. In
their presence it were an impertinence
to discourse upon how the battle went,
how 1t ended, v lat 1t signified! But
SO years have gone by since then and
l crave the privilege Of speaking to
you for few minutes of what those
so years have meant.
What have they meant? They have
meant peace end union and vigor, and
the maturity and might of great ma
ton. How wholesome and healing the
peace has been! We have found one
another again as brothers and com
rades in arms, enemies no longer, gen
erous friends rather, our battles long
past, the quarrel forgotten-excep
that we shall not forget the splendid
valor. the manly devotion of the men
then arrayed against one another, now
grasping hands and smiling into each
others eyes. How complete the union
has become and how dear to all of us,
how unquestioned, how benign and
majestic, as state after state has been
added to this great family Of free
menl How handsome the vigor, the
maturity, the might of the great ma
ton we love with undivided hearts;
how full Of large and confident prom
Use that life will be wrought ont
that will crown its strength with gra-
cious justice and happy welfare that
will touch all alike with deep content
ment! We are debtors to those so
crowded years; they have made us
heirs TO mighty heritage.

A remarkable coincidence Of the
camp was the meeting of two men OF
exactly ths same name, coming from
towns OF the same name, but in differ
ent states. One fought on the union
side in the battle of Gettysburg, and
the other with the confederates.
These two men are John Carson OF
Burlington. N. j.. and John Carson OF
Burlington, N. c.
They met by the merest chance
The Jersey Carson was walking along
one of the streets, and saw a man in
gray. Just to be friendly, the Jersey
man stopped him and gave him a
greeting. 1t was not until they had
talked for several minutes that they
discovered their names were identical,
as well as the names of their towns.

Indications are that the years

pest movement of settlers to up
per Wisconsin in the history of
the state. The present time
shows more activity in that
direction than has been exper-
fenced bv those who have been in
the business for years. Those
familiar with land business pre-
dict that the movement begun is
due to some extent to the mis-
tadlng statements put out by
the state forestry board and the
Milwaukee Journal and which
we're so ably refuted with prime
tacla evidence by the FIVE north
en counties at the legislative
hearing last spring.
The movement to the west and
Canada is on the wane and the
general opinion of land men is
that the next exodus is northern
Wisconsin.
The fame of Wisconsin as an
agricultural state is based upon
solid facts. Ii is we'll established
that on theaverage of farm crops
year after year no state excels
and few equal Wisconsin. 1t IS
also an established fact that no
State equals Wisconsin in the
value OF grain per bushel.
It is also shown that northern
WISCONSIN is now offering the
best opportunities tor home
makers to be found anywhere.
