barn. the Confederates came into posses
sion of 1t. That meant capture.
All the while though, Huidekoper kept
his spirits up and his ears open. AS
wounded Confederate officers were
brought In, he listened carefully to all
their conversations. and gathered much
valuable Information. When, several days
later, he succeeded In running away from
the hospital. and retoining the Union
forces he was careful that this informa-
ton should go where It would do the most
good.
In the December following the battle
Gen. Huldekoper rejoined his command
and held it until early the following
spring. though his wounds required daily
dressing.
Anoter hero in the artillery section
which did such tremendous execution dur
ing Pckett's charge was Lieut.. Edward
NJ. Knox OF the 18th New York Light
Battery. known Harris. During the
second days fighting 1t was ordered by
Gen Hunt to the Peach Orchard. where
the Sd Corps. under Sfckles. was having a
hard time to save itself from extinction.
There he proved himself fully as intrepid
as in repelling the great charge. and
showed himself to be remarkably quick
w.tted as well.
Knox commanded the right section OF
the battery when 1t was galloped to the
vance Of that occurred by his support
AS quickly as possible. he loaded with
double canister and let drive.
When the Johnnies noted that half Of a
battery was fully a hundred yards ahead
Of the artillery line. they charged at
once. in an endeavor to take it.
Lieut.. Knox let drive again with double
canister. and then ordered his men to lie
down. The charging gray coats passed
right through the battery. over the leu
tenant and his men. and were then met
by CALLING fire from the 72d New York
Infantry, which was in support. Owing
partly to the suddenness OF the counter
attack the Confederates were driven
through the battery, the guns Of which
were then hauled back and saved.
Next day the battery was In the line
which was covering the Sd Corps during
Pickett's charge, the command of Gen..
Sickles having been forced back to the
ridge he was originally ordered to oc-
cupy. 1t was a hard day for the brave
Knox as he was shot through both hips,
and was never afterward able to return
to duty.

of frequent complaint that ruthless and
thoughtless city people. aided by the au-
tomobile which makes it SO easy for them

aided by a superficial interest In nature

patton of hepatica or liverwort, the pur-

spring growth to appear IL one except the
small closely crowded flowers that bloom
on the f1eshy spadix OF the skunk cab

beautiful member Of the purslane family
noteworthy because of its golden stamens

flower has disappeared from the woods
