THE BLUE AND THE GRAY

It, is in commemoration Of this
battle of Gettysburg now recorded in
history as one of the sixteen great
battles OF the world, that the fiftieth
anniversary is to be celebrated next
July on the battlefield itself in Penn
sylvania. 1t will not be the celebra-
ton of war victory, but rather that
of peace. The menof both sides will
meet as brothers, will clasp hands
and, with all emnity and hatred svan-
ished from their hearts, Will pledge
renewed fealty to the nations em-
blem. 1t will. without doubt, be the
last gathering OF the Blue and the
Gray upon that battlefield, and with
this in mind, the United States gov
eminent is engaged in making pre-
parations for the great celebration.
while all the states in the union are
formulating plans to send to the cele-
bration, as their guests of honor, tho
veterans of that battle who now re-
side within their borders.
The commission appointed by Gov.
Byrne are endeavoring to get in touch
with every veteran Of the Gettysburg
battle now residing in this state and
have succeeded in reaching 116. Only
such veterans as fought at Gettys-
burg will have their expenses paid
by the state.

Hard to Imagine.

A sense of the value of money comes
to some people sooner than to others,
and some people never know it's value,
but there is one little boy in suburb
of Boston that has a keen sense of
it. He was discussing piece of work
that he had done and telling his moth
err how much he had been paid for it.
Now, the boy is not yet ten years old,
and so the price paid for his labor was
small. To him it looked large, how
c-er.
'But a boy know got four dollars
a week for working" he told his moth
err. He worked for long time, but
he got sick and died. Now. what do
you think of a fellow that'll die with
that salary? "-Boston Traveller and

the effect that life was real and life

"And then some, dearie," said Mrs.
Merriwid. "It's vale of tears and
a hollow mocl1ery, and one-ahem!-

gri1n's idea of it, and at that, life isn't

worth the paper it's printed on.
What's medicine? Humbug and quack-
cry. What's education? Faddism.
What are our preachers? Hypocrites

judges? Venal vampires, ma'am.' Oh,
