| on the second day, and again witness 1 the terrible scenes that were enacted | in the Wheatf1eld and the Peach Or chard, at Devils Den-weIl-named spot land Plum Run, where thousands of i the boys in blue and gray laid down l their lives. This time he will see the | Union line, though it IS hard pressed at many points, standing fast along | the ridge until n1ghtfaH brings an end l to the roar and slaughter of the bat | tle He will again wait through the l long ominous hours of silence that preceded the terrible cannonade of the l third day, when more than three hun dred guns shook the hills from crest to base; and finally he will look up- on the splendid charge of Pickett and his men, as they emerge from the pail of smoke that covers Longstreet's lines, moving forward to the assault like an l army on dress parade. He will see | them form and reform their gray ranks under the rain of shot and canister, grim, determined, advancing steadily in the face of the most ter rifle fire ever poured upon living men, until they actually pierce Hancock'S line and Armistead falls mortally wounded Then at last the gray lines kett's glory-crowned division makes it's way down the mfle-long slope again The battle is over. In the face of daunt1ess courage and superhuman

 THE HORRORS OF WAR TEACH :: US THE BLESSINGS OFT PEACE
 It will not be possible for every one to absorb this lesson on the battle + sary. The art of photography can bring it home wildly enough to us all. Mathew Brady, the government war photographer, with his assistants, were present with conerae, during all of the great battles of the Civil War, and the result is a collection of photo graphs that make a wonderful plea for Peace. The blood of a thousand dead heroes cries out through these prints in protest against such carnage being allowed to take place again.
 Mathew B. Brady, who sold his won derful collection to the United States Government, was unique as a photo graphic artist. The reproduction from his famous War negatives shows in the new edition of Lossing's famous Civil War History that he was fifty years in advance of his time. His photographs compare favorably with the best quality of work today.
 He secured permission from Presi- l dent Lincoln and under the protection Of Allan Pinkerton of the Secret Ser vice Bureau, Brady and his men start ed taking pictures, thinking that the War would not last more than two or three months, but for four long weary years, they were actively at work throughout the country, his wonder full collection of negatives of the great historical scenes and portraits of the leaders on both sides now attest to his energetic and remarkable work. It was these negatives that he sold to the United States Government, and by speciel permission of the War depart ment, reproductions have been made direct from the originals which so fit tingIy illustrate, as nothing else could do the vivid text of pr. Tossing in this History of the Civil War. The re- production of these famous negatives at this time by permission Of the War Department not only commemorates F0f for the Nation but, will leave a me moriaI of Mathew B. Brady for future generations the photographic genius of his time.
 To the thousands who know the ex- traordinary historic value of the fam ous G6vernme1it Colfeetion Of Brady War Photographs, taken fifty years ago in the turmoil and strife of a great National struggle and the fact that Dr. Lossing is recognized by the War department as a great authority on Civil War History, the announce ment that a magnificent edition print ed on enamel paper Is ready in fine binding at the cost Of ordinary book is startling and almost beyond belief. Less than $9 a copy, delivered any where
 It is all true but unusual
 The great national work has just been completed after months of labor and an expense of thousands of dollars in it's preparation, and the result is magnificent work of great historic in- terest to all Americans.
 Many said 1t could not be done, even in these days of labor saving inven- l tions, but it has been done and the | War department has furnished photo l graphs taken by the official photo l grapher direct from the famous his 1 torica1 and priceless negatives and granted permission to the War Memor- iaI Association to publish them for the highly educational purpose of H. frustrating Lossfng's famous History of the Civil War.
 The War Memorial Association was organized to publish this great work at as low a cost as possible 30 that all Amerfcsn7 could secure copy.
