Aside from the old soldiers them
selves, an interesting figure is Mrs.
Longstreet, widow Of the commander
at the front of the Confederate lines
in the third days battle. Mrs. Long
broiling sun out to the old Rogers
house to interview General Sickles.
Some time ago Mrs. Longstreet sent
long telegram as representing the
southern veterans in protest against
the old Union veteran being thrown In
jail In New York because of some
financial affairs. 1t was said that
Sickles misunderstood the spirit and
his pride was SO hurt that their meet
ing today would not be cordial.
General, l have written an article
about you for publication" said Mrs.
Longstreet at the meeting, and she
read several pages of the highest trib-
ute to the old corps leader, whom she
characterized as having come back
and being once again in the saddle.
Half hundred old Sickles' men gath
cred on the lawn and the reading be-
came dramatic. General Sickles lean
ed back in his big chair, closed his
eyes, and looked back to meeting with
Longstreet.
Here his widow was praising to the
world the valor which she claimed had
gone unrecognized by the government
Tears flowed down the Sickles cheeks
now tanned by his ninety-third sum,
mer, and his old followers doffed their
hats and mingled their tears with
those of their old leader, wetting the
ground upon which long ago had been
soaked by their blood.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape.Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and tho
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 l 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
NutA so got some and prepared 1t as
follows / soaked III tablespoonfuls
In one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then strained off the liquid and
mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in pinch of salt and
a little sugar. warmed 1t and gave 1t
to baby every two hours.
I'm this simple, easy way saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such wonderful effect
as this. l can truthfully say I think
1t ia the best food in the world to
raise delicate babies on and is also a
delicious healthful food for grown-ups
as we have discovered in our family"
Grape-Nuts Is equally valuable to the
strong. healthy man or woman. It
stands for the true theory OF health.

One of the most interesting places
in camp was the lost and found bu'
reau, located under the benches in the
big tent. Everything found on the
grounds was brought there and thou
sands applied every day for missing
articles.
There were at least 100 crutches
piled up In the bureau, dozen or 30 ap-
plicants having called for them. Those
who come to redeem their lost
crutches seldom can recognize them
and most of them go away with some
body else's.
There was one wooden leg also ly-
ing unclaimed. It was brought in by
Boy Scout. who had found 1t under
tree.
Several sets of false teeth were
foard.

Initiating Her Elders.

Sister and brother, neither of whom
has reached the mathematic stage,
were playing the other day on the
lawn at their home in Twelfth street,
says the Indianapolis News. The
brother had great respect for his Sis
ter's knowledge, for she went to
school. He looked forward to the day
when he should become pupil and
grow wise.
Il think" he said, when June 10
gone 1t will be cooler"
Then suddenly:
when will June be gomez"
The little sister attempted to an
swer, but, evidently fearing to lose her
brothers admiration, she placed her
hand on his shoulder, and with a tone
of mild surprise she said:
why, David, you ought to know
that"

S|DEL|CH7S 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 MI
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:
l. ID. Munsee of Erie county, Penn
sylvania 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 q 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, Nun
see lay very still under the uncon-
In u,I,i he hot 10
ragged around them. That night he
slipped from under the body and es-
capped to the union lines.
81 thought that fellow was dead"
said Munsee, "but l saw him today.
Poor fellow, his minds bad, and he
didn't recognize me, but l was sure Of
him. 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 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 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 purt.
The one in blue lived In Oregon;
the one in gray in New Orleans. They
went weeping together to their sta
tion 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 ono 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 a 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 flocked
to see them.
The Oregonian who came proudly to
town with a 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:
S63-Breakfast-Ha bacon,
beans and coffee.
Dinner-Bacon, beans, hardtack and
coffee.
Supper-Beans, hardtack, bacon
and coffee.
1913-Breakfast-sP 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 fif-
teth 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 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. Fleis Of
| Houston, Texas, who was ninety years
of age on his last birthday, February
23. During the war he served with
! distinction in the marine department
OF the confederate navy. Captain
Fleig is one of the best preserved
men in camp and is more active than
many OF the other veterans score Of
years less advanced.

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 who
fought the skirmishes that led up to
the three days fight pledged them
solves in the shadows of the stars and
stripes to forget" and their brothers
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 sang
the battle song were among those who
thronged the streets Of Gettysburg
after the advance guard Of the south
ern army left it so years ago. On the
night when Buford's men came rid
ing into the village on the heels of
Wheeler's 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 well
coined the vanguard of Meade, only a
half dozen could be found, and they
stood, white-haired with tears in their
eyes on a 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
Grams 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 men
wept openly.
