ROCK ISLAND VETERAN WRITES
FROM GETTYSBURG HISTORIC FIELD

only major general living that took
part in the battle.
The Illinois special left Chicago a.
1880 p. N. the 9th and arrived N
camp at Gettysburg at pm. the 18th.
We had fine trip from Chicago. AS
veterans were on the train. One vet
eran, John P. Sites, came with US
from Depue, Ill. He is 80 years OF
age and served three years in the
14Sth Pennsylvania infantry. He
was a.one and took him IN charge
man from his regiment. He is a well
preserved man and was very enthusi-
astic. l am informed there was quite
a number of Confederate veterans
with US. Although tomorrow is the
first day of the exercises here the
camp is nearly full already.
was over in the Confederate camp
this morning and l must say l was
never treated in a more friendly way.
J asked one Of our men how old he
was and he told me. / told him when
we were engaged IN the battle so
years ago l was % years old and am
still % years young.
The weather is very warm but We
are getting a fine breeze from the
north so that we can stand it.
The town Of Gettysburg is beauti-
fully decorated but l have not seen a
Confederate flag. There is none raised
over their camp.
Wednesday our regiment will march
to their old place on Culp's Hill where
We had the desperate fight the after
noon and evening of the I'd of July so
| years ago. We will listen to
| speaking and afterward will decorate
our monument erected on the site OF
/ our battle.
Trains are coming in every little
/ while loaded with veterans from the
| western states. train Of Pennsyl
/ vania men just came in carrying a lot
| of captured flags and some regimental
! flags they carried during the late un'
| pleasantness. The sleeping facilities
are good and the bills of fare given
us for each meal are fine and we are
enjoying ourselves. More anon.

Johnson who commanded the corps
that attacked us on Cups hill July
2, 1863. He is a thoroughly recon

REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method Of Trading INDUCED
In by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling-place the
Kukuhuhus, a shy, yet ferocious tribe
Of New Guinea. Other tribes Of the
country, while they have great fear
of the Kuxuhuhus. manage to do a
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt. earthenware, dried fish, ETC., and
deposit them in a certain indicated
place They. then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do SO by
courteous cry from the distance. The
mountain dwellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. If
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast jewellers APP
proach again. II the latter are salts
fed with what Is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; If not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.

Rational Love.

International rather than the roman
tic view of marriage is the one most
in favor with the young people of the
twentieth century" said DR.. H. Lucas
Wentworth, the well known eugenics
expert, in an address in Cleveland.
THE rational view will make for
happier marriages. And this rational
view is beautifully illustrated in two
questions-a little dialogue-running
thus:
'Will you always love me?"
''Will you always be lovable?"

proposition than an art susceptible Of
practical benefits, and this has really
hurt aviation more than 1t has helped.
Speed has appealed pre-eminently to
racing men and to what may appro-
priately be termed the nautical aero
bats, and in some senses this speed
has saved more lives than it has sac
rificed under the hazardous circum
stances of its employment. The vic
torious Vedrines strongly advocates
speed on the score that it makes fol
safety by offsetting or combating more
successfully atmospheric vagaries
while In fight, but this element OF
high velocity multiplies the hazard or
the difficulty of alighting as well as
increasing the danger of engine trou'
BILE and shortness of the life of the
motor.
For war purposes an aeroplane mo.
tor should work efficiently at different
speeds because varying drive power
will be needed for dissimilar services.
motor of this sort would lend itself
to relatively low speed so that the
! flying machine could return to tbs
ground much as q vessel slackens her
Roadway when coming up to her dock.
Captain Chambers has very definite,
opinion upon this subject. which he
explains as follows:
"a weight carrying aeroplane, such
as hydroaeroplane, necessarily needs
motor with considerable range of
! speed, and the same kind of motor Is
needed to reduce the danger Of alight-
ing. l think aviation would be I'M
proved If the terms OF future speed
contests were arranged so as to re-
quire each contestant to go over the
course twice-the second time at an
average speed 20 per cent. lower than
his highest average"
The layman has heard so much Of
anti-balloon guns and other weapons
for the humiliation of all kinds of air
craft, that he pictures the flying ma
chine as being knocked into bits by
the precise fire of these weapons AS
a matter of fact. during the war in
Tripoli the Italian aeroplanes were
but seldom hit, never disastrously, and
when up in the air three thousand feet
they were not touched at all. Ame-i-
can naval aviators, with their hydro
aeroplanes, have proved that 1t Is en-.
tirely feasible for them to reach this
height, and SO far as endurance Of
fight is concerned, they hold the rec

ventors have developed an aeroplane
wireless outfit of very moderate
weight, and with this equipment
aviators are able to cover a range OF
fifty miles.
The next naval, conflict is likely Ia
find hydroaeroplanes feature OF the
essential equipment of all large men-of-
war. and the flying machine must be
considered seriously and not as a mere
fad or mechanical achievement OF nc
material value. In peace-time manep

Considerable agitation has been
aroused among American purchasers
of gowns and millinery made in this
country from models of the leading
French makers and having American
made imitation labels of these
French makers sewed on them, to
put a stop to such a fraudulent prac-

concerns has placed agents at work

This has naturally met with ihe.sup-
port of the French makers. Reports
gathered from these agents snow
that the labels of the well known
French makers are substituted upN1

as well as in this country. 1t is
proposed to have legislation enacted
that will protect a dress and miil:-
