But how quickly this fond delu-

Then came the weary days of

Woman Fleeing for Refuge.

The story of a daring flight across

Tom Watson, of No. North Park
avenue LAGRANGE. The story is one
Of thrilling details, of adventures as
perilous, of hardships as trying as
any In Bijou melodrama
Mrs. Watson and her husband, af-
ter several prosperous years resi-
dence in Durango, Mexico, were driv-
en- to the States by fear of the revo-
lutionists. They made their way
across the Rocky Mountains on horse
back and came up the west coast to
San Diego. Cal, landing there August

The old Adventures of 40 prob
ably went through no greater hard
ships or accepted no greater hazard

husband. The story as Mrs. Wat
son tells it is dramatic.
Problem of Getting Back
1t is all very simple FOR advice
TO be sent out from Washington, tell
ing Americans to return from Mex
leo she said. when Americans
find their business gone and their
property destroyed by the revolution
they need no order from President
Wilson to come back to the United
States. But the question comes as
to how they will get back.
After the city of Durango was
taken We with the other Americans
there, faced that problem There were
no trains. In fact, there had been
none since February, To go overland
to the Texas border meant TO go
through the rebel lines and be robbed
of horses. saddles, food, clothing and
shoes.
More than one American reached
E. Paso without shoes and on foot
To attempt to reach the railroads
operating trains in the South was
equally perilous, while the only re-
naming way-across the mountains
to the west coast-was hazardous
even to consider. Two weeks on
horseback over treacherous mountain
trails with the added discomforts of
daily rains and swollen streams we're
prospects not calculated to inspire
enthusiasm.
However, we, with some other
Americans, feeling that anything
were better than the suspense and
alarm caused by the exaggerated re-
ports brought in from all sides, chose
this westward way.

Tn spite of the tiredness and sore
ness from the long ride, the weari-
ness and worn feet from walking over
places too perilous to ride, the dis
gust and evaporation at the slowness
and delays as a result of animals

III tH.racious Altitude.
New York Tribune.

Ungracious opposition was made at
the meeting Of the Gettysburg semi
centennial celebration commission the
other day in Philadelphia to the sug-
gestion that such Of the Confederate
Veterans as desired to do so should
be permitted to appear on the field in
their suits Of gray. Gen. Robertson
of Texas asked the commission to
pass a resolution granting that priv
ilege and was much disconnected when
his request was denied. Some of the
Union veterans on the commission ap-
parently thought that all the Southern
visitors ought to wear civilian clothes;
but they objected also to resolution,
offered by a New Jersey member, pro-
viding that no uniform should be al
lowed on the field except those worn
by United States regulars and the
Pennsylvania National Guard. Gov.
Tener Of Pennsylvania, who was pres
ent, was more liberal minded than
were the commissioners, for he said to
Gen. Robertson that the eX-Confed-
crates would be made welcome at
Gettysburg whatever clothes thsy
might choose to wear.
We do see how any sensible per-
son could find ground for offence in
the appearance on the battlefield so
years after in Confederate butternut
suits or limitations of them. The feel
ings which those uniforms once arous-
ed have pretty we'll passed into his
tory, and the celebration at Gettys-
burg is not intended to emphasize the
causes of division there in 1863, but
the disappearance of those causes af-
ter a half century of reunion and re-
cancellation. The State of Virginia is
to erect an equestrian statue of Robert
E. Lee III the battlefield park. Lee in
sculpture will wear Confederate uni
form, and if the government sees no
harm in that it would be captious to
complain if some living Confederate
veterans revisited Gettysburg clad in
what IS left of their military ward
.oLoe of Sn WOW, o ro
The other day EX-Speaker Cannon
rose in the house Of representatives
and said: There are certain great
characters that will dwell in the his
tory of the country-frst, and barely
first, Washington; second, Lincoln;
third, Lee, a great man, a great gen.
eral, who did his duty from his patri-
otic standpoint; fourth, Jefferson
Davis, a great man performing a great
service for proposed new republic,
as he saw his duty" When such a
judgment can be pronounced by such
stalwart as Mr Cannon it seems
about time to consign the prejudice OF
the Civil war to the historians closet.
Gov. Tener was right. Let the Con-
federate veterans bring with them to
Gettysburg, if they feel like it, as
many of their uniforms as have sur
vived so years warfare with the moths.

Apple Convention
Active Efforts To Be Made to Land
Meeting of international Ship

Active efforts to secure for At
lanta the 1914 convention of the In
ternationaI Apple Shippers Assocla-
ton are being made by the Atlanta
Convention Bureau, aided by Louis
B. Magid, who, in letter to the or
ganization, advances a number of
reasons why the convention should
be held in Atlanta.
The great consumption of apples in
the South, Mr.. Magid declares, should
result in a closer simultaneously
between the shippers and the con-
sumers of the fruit. He declares that
great strides have been made in ap-
pie growing in the mountain regions
of North Georgia, and the bringing
of the convention to the Gate City
would be of inestimable value to the
owners of Georgia apple orchards.
