The Kay Bee ranch, the child of
Thos. H. Ince, manager and master
producer, has sprung into prominence
in a very brief time. 1t covers ap-
proximately 1000 acres, with a
stretch of about $4,000 acres behind
it which may be used by the concern
at any time. The Pacific bounds it
on one side, and the coast mountains,
with their picturesque canyons and
high tablelands, stretch out into its
other three boundaries as far as the
eye can reach. There are five direc-

TARIFF REVISION
BILL COMPLETED

ate commtttce by sunday at the lat
est
"Our bill is ready" said Mr.. Under
wood. The sugar tariff is the only
serious point in controversy and our
committee has agreed to do whatever
| the president wants us to do.
I'VE expected to get word from the
president today after his conference
with the senator's, but the word did
not come. l believe however, that the
whole matter will be determined to
morrow.
If the president cannot bring
about an agreement on this schedule
we are ready anyway and the bill will
go to the house as a committee bill
Had Few Suggestions.
"The committee has agreed thus far
to every change the president suggest
ed in our original bill as 1t reached
him. His suggestions were few Most
Of the bill met with his heartiest ap-
proval. The committee was of the
mind that no bill should be presented
which President Wilson might veto,
when 1t reached him. Having made
the changes he suggested, we are now
ready to accede to the further recon-
mendations he may make"
Because Of the delay IN settling the
sugar schedule, the committee may
not be ready to introduce the bill Mon
day. Chairman Underwood assured
the president he could have all the
time necessary to bring about an
| q apreement with the senate leaders.

wounded and the left wing had been
forced to take refuge on Cemetery
Ridge.
It was in the first days battle that
the old Constable ,Tohn Burns made
his appearance. This man has the
distinction of being the only civilian
who fought in the Battle of Gettys-
burg. He was born in New jersey
and H?as of Scotch ~parentage. He had
as a mere boy served in the War of
1912. fighting against the British, and
at the opening of the Civil War he
tried to enlist but was declared too
old. He became a constable Of Gettys-
burG in 1862, n when the battle
occurred he was in a fighting mood.
After the first hour of battle Burns
secured a gun from wounded soldier
and filing his pockets with cartridges
rushed through the Union lines and
begged permission to fight. His offer
was accepted and he was ordered to
the woods, but this was not to his
liking and he persisted in going for
ward on the skirmish line. He was
known to his friends as a dead shot
and he picked off whomever of the
C~onfederates he selected. During the
battle he vas wounded three times and
left for dead on the field by the hos
pital corps. He finally dragged him
self to a log house and tainted at the
door. Later he was recognized and
sent home where under his wife's care
he recovered and lived until 1872. A
splendid monument has been erected
to his memory by the citizens of Get
tysburg. It stands on Stone Avende

General Reynolds and his stat came

cried out What's the matter, John?'

then suggested that they ride out and

yourself too much" said Buford, but
Reynolds laughed and moved nearer
still. After giving some directions to
Buford, which showed his determina-
ton to concentrate m to fight, Gen
eral Reynolds again mounted his horse
and rode away to meet the head of his
column. The woods at this time was
full Of Confederate sharp-shooters
who were picking off men here and
there. When Genera Reynolds, ac-
companied by his aides, Captains

shooter a penetrated his brain and
he fell forward, dying, upon mis- horse.
His fall was not noticed by the troops
who swept on and compelled Archer's
brigade to surrender. General Reyn-
olds' horse carried the body a short
distance, when it vas borne to the
rear in a blanket just as Archer him
elf was being brought in a prisoner"
The death of General Reynolds was a
severe blow to the Union forces, and
no casualty of the war brought more
widespread mourning. A splendid
statue has been erected to his memory
near the spot where he fell. 1t will
be noted hat in this statue the horse
las two feet off the ground, which in
dicates that its rider was killed.
Statues on the field at Gettysburg
where the horse has one foot off the
ground indicate hat the rider was
wounded, while those having all four
feet on the ground show that the rider
escaped unhurt.
Even the death of General Reynolds
could not stay the fury Of the battle,
General Abner Doubleday succeeded
to the command of the First Corps.

$3.50 per day. All flags are cut from

laid on the floor for hat purpose and
marked off with chalk. 1t Is remark
able with what accuracy these women
work, for there is rarely the variation
OF a fraction Of an nch in the lots Of
several hundred flags ordered of one
size. Motor-equipped sewing ma
chimes are used at present, and since
the motor attachment has been added
the wages Of the women nave been

ed by hand in silk-the most delicate
and dainty workmanship being re-
CURED. Several women are employed,
whose sole duty is to embroider GER
tam parts of flags. The silk used on
the Presidential emblem costs the Gov
nine dollars per pound. h
pressing of n flag. too, requires a skill
ful hand for each and every part must
be clear of wrinkles and the embroid-
cry nus be pressed in such a fashion
as to make the embroidered figure
stand out" This is no place for I'M
skilled labor, | can assure YOU" said
one or the pressers. "Of course, we
use electric irons, but one must be
exceedingly careful, for a scorched flag
would not go, and IS this is practically
the finishing ouch to the work just
think of the loss in having to remake
the nag, or at least replace the scorch-
ed part"
Some of the foreign flags are both
dlfllcult to make and costly as well, for
the material used in them is FIR more
e. pensive than that used for our own
flags. In many instances the smaller
the country the more costly the dag.

Tho only civilian killed during the
Battle Of Gettysburg met death on tho
first day. 1t was a young girl by the
name of Jennie wade. As the wound
ed roldlers were being brought n
town it was discovered that the food
supply was running short and several
Of the Gettysburg ONE began 70
bake bread. Jennie Wade who lived
in a modest home on Baltimore Street
was one of them. All day long she
worked, the bread being given to
friend and foe alike. During the prog
rcss Of the fight her home came in
eXact range of the two lines Of battle
and she was a~dmonished to leave It
but refused and continued her work,
J.st before the first days battle ended
a stray bullet pierced her heart and
the girl fell dead in the kitchen Of her
home. At about the same hour n
Confederate officer Of high rank was
killed near the house and his com
rades were preparing a coffin for him,
but before it was completed they were
compelled to leave and the body of
the dead girl was buried in the coffin
intended for the Southerner. She was
inferred in the Citizens cemetery at
Gettysburg and a beautiful monument
has been erected over her grave. II
is said hat both her father and her
lover were fighting on the Union side
at the time she met her death, and
that her father was killed in the en-
gagement.
One of the curious incidents Of the
frt days battle was that neither e..
the commanding officers desired 70
have the battle take place at Getty
burg. General Meade was anxious g..
fght at Pipe Creek, and General Lee
Gasired to meet the Union forces at
Cashtown, but the battle focused near
Gettysburg The colored
population were in a state of panic,
for they had been taught to believe
that they would be totally annihilated
when the rebels arrived, and many
Of them managed to get farther North,
dragging all their earthly belongings
h them. An old resident of the
town tells how he saw the negr7os
moving, and how when the little chill
dren did not walk rapidly enough
their mothers would say, "Fo' de Lord
sako. you chillun come right long
quick! If dem Rebs dun kotch you
dey tear you all up" The warning
usually had the desired effect with
tho thoroughly frightened %pickanin-
MES. However. when the Confederates
came it was found that they wanted
foo money and horses and that lit
tie attention was paid to the colored
people who remained in the town.
At one time during the battle Cen
eral Gordon, of Georgia, had charged
across Rock Creek and reached tho
summit of a hill now known as Bar
lows Knoll. He observed u Union Of

a small boat was seen approaching
the battleship and a few minutes later
an officer came on board begging the
loan of the flag Of the new Republic,
for as yet they had none at the fort.
The captain ordered the emblem given
TO the mar and a few minutes after
the little boat reached shore the Amer
lean salute was returned with the Dor
rowed flag waving over the ramparts
of the fort. Before the flag was re
