It is Feared That the Intense
Heat May Take a Terrible
Toll Among the Visiting
Veterans

limited Press Leased Wire Service.1
GETTYSBURG, Pa, June 28.-The
sands of time were turned backward
fifty years tonight. Aged men, some
garbed in blue, others clad in grey,
shook hands across the chasm of years
and renewed their youth. Their dress
was in many instances that of a by
gone period. Time had dealt heav-
ily with most OF them. Yet their en-
thusiasm was contagious and appeal
ed especially to those of a younger
generation.
The central figure in wonderful
picture, the veterans of the greatest
fighting force the sun ever shone on,
shook off the weight of age and
fought over again the battle that
marked the high tide of the con-
federacy." Some of the men have
empty sleeves pinned across their
chests. Others hobble about on
crutches with leg gone Still others
and they are in the majority, move
painfully here and there with the as
sistance of stout canes. Few are un-
der seventy-five but neither the weight
of years nor the terrific heat has de-
pressed their spirits. They are here
to honor the men who fought and
4 died on both sides OF the three days
conflict of half century ago and to
commemorate the deeds Of heroism
unparalleled and unequaled.
Although the real celebration does
not begin until Tuesday more than a
quarter of the $4,000 veterans who
will participate are in tents on the bat
tlefield tonight. Most of the rest are
enroute. All day long trains have
ruffed and snorted their way into the
little stations. discharging their burd-
ems of veterans in and out Of uniform
The heat is intense and little. pros

were fully a score of prostrations to

fire, pressaging far greater heat THAI
SO far experienced. This fact caused
serious apprehension by officials. They
fear the heat may take terrible toll
of the veterans.
To guard against this and properly
care for all who may suffer from any
cause the most elaborate precautions
have been taken. Two large genera
hospitals with capacity of 1,S00 per
sons, three regimental hospitals
fourteen Red Cross emergency sta

faults in Mary that he has never
noticed. She criticises Mary's
housekeeping to him and tells him
that Mary is eXtravagant in her
use of sugar, and that she wastes
the butter, and then mother signs,
and says it's mighty hard for a
man to get along with a wife who
isn't thrifty and doesn't care how
she throws things away.
Then, some day, Mary stays a
little longer at her club and din
per is late, and mother says to
John, who is as irritable as a

see that Mary is one Of these CAD
around women, who neglects her
husband and her home, and that
it is a pity that she can't ap-
preciate a good husband when
she's got one.
At first John warmly defends
Mary; but there is no other hu-

TIME ostracism Of Aristides
took place, as near as can
be reckoned, about 486 B.
c., four years after the glorious
victory of the Athenians over the
Persians at Marathon.
In that immortal action Aris-
tides bore a conspicuous part, and
it may be said that but for his
enthusiastic support of Miltiades
there would, in all probability,
have been no battle at that time
and place.
After Marathon (Miltiades hav-
ing died under a cloud Aristides
and Themistocles were the two
great men of the Athenian state
and the hottest of political rivals.
OF the two men Themistocles was
probably the greater Intellectual
ly. while Aristides stood much
higher in the esteem of his coun-
trymen on account of his rock
ribbed integrity of life and pur-
pose.
The bone of contention between
these two famous politicians and
their respective adherents was
this: Shall Athens be converted
from a land power into a sea pow
er?" Themistocles said Yes"
Aristides No" In a pure democ-
racy like Athens the inevitable
result was political storm and
confusion.
But fortunately there had been
provided way out of the diff
ficulty. When two or more party
leaders. each powerful in influ-
ence, had embarked on the pro-
longed and bitter opposition
which threatened to become a
menace to the state, the danger
might be warded off by the "os-
tracism," So called.
A number OF Citizens-ueVe
less than 6,0O0-were asked 10
vote secretly upon the question:
Is there any man whom you
think vitality dangerous TO the
state: II so, whom ?' Upon the
counting Of the ballots. the man
against whom the largest number
Of votes appeared was banished
for ten years.
The vote was taken, and the
shadow fell upon Aristides the
Just, who Immediately went into
exile. Every one remembers the
story of the Athenian voter who.
unable to write. took his shell 10
Aristides with the request that he
write the name OF Aristides upon
