Here is a story which was told by
A. T. Dice, vice-president of the Read
ing railway
Once upon a time there were a vet
eran in gray and a 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 part.
The one in blue lived in Oregon
the one in gray in New Orleans. They
wentN 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 one 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

of their uniforms and exchanged

He remained to tell the story. with the
result that he had to spend several
days in following the Confederate
army as a prisoner. After tramping
so miles over rough country without
