Ready Wit Saved Situation.

A very laughable incident once oc-
Cured in the house Of commons. An
Irish member having risen was as
sailed by loud cries of Spoke!
Spoke!" meaning that having spoken
once already he had no right to do
so a second time. He had evidently
a second speech struggling in his
breast for an introduction into the
world, when seeing after remaining
for some time on his legs, that there
was not the slightest chance Of being
suffered to deliver sentence Of it,
he observed with imperturbable grav-
ity and in rich Tipperary brogue: IF
the honorable gintlemin suppose that
1 was going to spake again they are
quite mistaken. l merely rose for the
purpose of saying that l had nothing
more to say on the subject" The
house was convulsed with laughter

Recipe for Making Jokes.

There is nothing any easier than
writing jokes Simply jot down your
ideas for the jokes, say two or three
hundred, on slip of paper; then seat
yourself before a typewriter Feed
blank paper into the typewriter and
inject the ideas through your finger
tips into the keys Continue to do
this until all of the ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather up the
jokes which have piled themselves
into heap on the opposite side of the
typewriter, send them to editors and
receive your checks. A couple of
hours day spent in this manner
should bring you in revenue enough
to support wife and nine children,
run a six-cylinder touring car and buy
bonbons for soul-mate. Try it.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape Nuts is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which had fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared 1t as
follows: l soaked 11a tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for hall an
hour, then | strained off the liquid ana
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoon1uis
of rich milk, put in pinch of salt ana
a little sugar, warmed it and gave IL
to baby every two hours.
I'm this simple, easy way / saved
babys life and have built her up to

feet to have such a wonderful effect
as this. l can truthfully say l think
it is the best food in the world to
raise delicate babies on and is also
delicious healthful food for grown-ups
as we have discovered in our family.

LOOK TO RUSSIAN OIL FIELDS
Are Certain to Play an Important Part
In Furnishing Power for
Battleshlps.

In discussing the fact that the use
of oil instead Of coal as fuel In the
English navy is under consideration
it Is time Russia should pay serious
attention to this question. If England
is replacing it's own cheap coal by the
more expensive foreign product, there
must be important advantages on the
side Of naphtha, and in the future
Russian fleet the part to be played by
this fuel will be most important one,
the Novoe Vremya says. Many mills
and factories have gone over to
naphtha as fuel and the consumption
is increasing every year.
Russia owns immense oil fields and
it could be the chief supplier of the
world. The need Of organization in
the business Is recognized by the
government and number of special
meetings have been held for discuss.
ing the subject New conditions have
been laid down for the exploitation OF
government territories, and the regu-
lations for Investigations have been
changed. Some territories known as
being rich in oil have been closed to
private enterprise, such as the Ap-
sheron peninsula, near Baku, and vari-
GUS islands of the Caspian sea, as well
as some territories in the Transcas-
plan Ural and Gerghana districts, and
others in the north Of Russia and ST.
IBERIA, amounting to millions of acres.
The reason for this action is the wish
to preserve these districts from ex-
haustion
Another question concerns the mat
ter of investigation. 1t is quite neces-
sary that the right of investigation be
granted on a large scale, and not only
for comparatively small lots of ground.
where the investigation might not pay.
The government is aware of this fact,
and, according to the new regulations
the plots of ground allotted for inves-
tigation are to be increased tenfold.
The most advisable system Is to
grant concessions that would. induce
X capitalists to place their money in
such undertakings. Under the new
regulations regarding the investigation
of naphtha districts, the government
proposes to publish geological de-
scriptions of the various districts.

Fifty years to the hour from the
time when the first shot preceding the
battle was fired reunion meeting OF
the blue and the gray was held in the
big tent. The gray cavalry men whc
fought the skirmishes that led up tc
the three days fight pledged them
selves in the shadows of the stars and
stripes to forget" and their brother
in blue swore by the stars and bars
that the fight was over for all time.
There were several women from the
village In the tent and six one-time
schoolgirls, gray-haired and aged now
sang Rally Round the Flag. Boys
while the veterans wept like boys, but
with pride. The six women who sans
the battle song were among those who
thronged the streets of Gettysbura
after the advance guard of the south
ern army left it 80 years ago. On the
night when Buford's men came rid
ing into the village on the heels OF
Wheelers men in gray, maidens strew
ed flowers along the streets and bells
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 vel
coined the vanguard OF Meade, only q
half dozen could be found, and they
stood, white-haired with tears in theil
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 30 years ago." said the ma
tronly woman who acted as leader as
she led the way up the steps to the
platform.
I'VE don't care; just sing again."
shouted the veterans. AS the first
notes of the wartime melody came
from them In quavering tones, the vet
erans both Of the north and Of the
south sat quiet with eyes fixed upon
the singers. The hum Of the chorus
came from every side, and the old mep
wept openly.

S|DEuCHTS OF GETTYSBURG REUNION

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 were 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:
I. D. Munsee of Erie county, Penn
sylvania, a soldier In the 111th Penn
sylvania, was captured by the con-
federates at Peachtree Creek, Ga,
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 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.
IT thought that fellow was dead, +"
said Munsee, "but / saw him today.
Poor fellow, his minds bad, and he
didn't recognize me, but I was sure of
him. 1 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 were vet
eran in gray and a 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 blue lived in Oregon;
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
off their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious 1ocked
to see them.
The Oregonian who came proudly to
town with coat of blue, went as
proudly away with one of gray and
the veteran from Louisiana who boast
ed the gray of the south sat with
swelling chest in his new uniform OF
blue.

A striking contrast Is seen in the
menu provided for the soldiers fifty
years ago and what they enjoyed this
year:
1863-Breakfast-H bacon,
beans and coffee.
Dinner-Bacon, beans, hardtack and
coffee.
supper-Beans. hardtack, bacon
and coffee.
Observation-Disclosures rice, fried
eggs, fried bacon, cream potatoes,
fresh bread, hard bread, butter and
coffee.
Dinner - Fricassee chicken, peas,
corn, ice cream, cake, cigars, fresh
bread, hard bread, butter, coffee, iced
tea
Supper - Salmon salad, macaroni
and cheese, fresh bread, butter and
coffee.
Chief Clerk George G. Thorne Of
the state department at Harrisburg
told Of the call made by Union vet
eran early on the morning Of the f1f-
tieth anniversary of the start of the
battle, who related that his conscience
troubled him because Of the fact that
on that fateful 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 beehives in the
dead of night and appropriated all the
honey they contained.
A remarkable coincidence of the
camp was the meeting of two men of
exactly the 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.
| A grandson of Francis Scott Key,
composer of THE Star-Spangled Ban
ner," is here. He is John Francis Key,
aged eighty-two, of Pikeville, Md, and
he is a veteran of the Second Mary
land infantry Of the confederate army.
Wearing a suit of gray, Key came
into town, weak and almost dropping.
He has been in failing health, but de-
clared he was going to see Gettys-
burg on this occasion or die"
One of the oldest veterans in the
big camp is Captain w. H. Fleig of
Houston, Texas, who was ninety years
of age on his last birthday February
%. During the war he served with
distinction in the marine department
of the confederate navy. Captain
F1eig is one of the best preserved
men in camp and is more active than
many of the other veterans a score Of
| years less advanced.

One of the unadvertised reunions OF
the celebration occurred In the con.
federate section of the camp. A fife
and drum corps of men in blue tramp
ed up and down the streets of the con-
federate part of the city Of tents
They stopped before the tents, play
ed such fanfare as only drums and
flies can make, summoned forth the
occupants and shook hands, threw
their arms about the gray shoulders
and in a dozen other ways showed
their feelings of friendship.
They kept it up for hours and Wis

He remained to tell the story, with the
result that he had to spend several

80 miles over rough country without
shoes he succeeded in escaping and
finally made his way back to Gettys.
