DETAILS ON PARCEL POST
Especial Correspondence

A proposition to indemnify all
persons suffering from the errors of
criminal justice in the federal courts
is advocated in a bill introduced
in the Senate Chamber by Senator
Switzerland of Utah just before the
holidays, and which he intends to
urge insistently before the committee
on the judiciary with a view to its
enactment before the adjournment of
this session of Congress. Relief of
this sort for people who have been
enormously convicted of crime is I'M
known in the United States, although
several European countries have ad-
opted the principle and written it in
to their statutes. Five or six gov
ernors of various states will recon-
mend similar legislation to their res
pective legislatures when they con-

provides that any person convicted of

THE CRANES
MAGIC GIFTS.

Once there was an old man who lived
on the edge of a forest with his wife
His wife was old and cross, and she
never did anything but scold her poor
old husband. The old man used % set
traps for birds and In this way got
enough food for his wife and himself.
One day when he looked into the trap
he saw a large crane there.
"If you will let me escape you will
not be sorry said the bird. II will do
you a great kindness"
The old mar felt sorry for the pref
ty crane, so he opened the trap and
let him out and went home to his wife
without any birds. The old lady fused
and fumed and fretted, and the poor

STAY OFF THE TRAIN.

That it is a bad practice to get on
the train to help people get started
on their journey vas proven. recently
at Blackfoot by a lady getting on
the train and talking with the
friend until the train started. She
then hurried out and jumped off,
and landed rolling. Fortunately
she did not roll under the wheels nor
even lose an arm as so many per-
sons do in such accidents.
When you do these things you do
1t against the wishes of the com
pany, AGAINST your W Judgment,
you become a risk to yourself and a
t~respasser on the company's train
forfeiting all protection that would
be yours if you were a t~ravelor in
their care.

he could leave the house. Again he

two lackeys, who set a table In the
woods and placed ON it a banquet at

"Two in the bag" said the crane
when they were finished, and then he
told the man that the magic bag was
his to do with as he pleased. The old
man was so pleased with his new pos

grandmother. When his grandmother
saw the two lackeys step out Of the
bag and do as they were told she
wanted to get the treasure for herself,
so she told her daughter to make a
bag like the magic bag, and then she
put the old man to sleep. While he

old man never knew the difference.

There has been much diversity of opin-
ion as to the numbers engaged at Gettys-
burg and the casualties on the part Of the
south. Longstreet says that about 40 go
COnfederates We're in the battle. but as
Lee was obliged to leave strong guards
all along from Winchester to Gettys-
burg, the ranks were somewhat depleted.
Gen. Meade testified that when he took
command the army amounted to 105, 600
men, including the IL O0O of Gen. French,
which he, Meade did not bring up.
X X
This reduced the ranks to $4,000. The
losses on both sides in the three days
fighting were enormous. On the Union
side Gen. Meade in his official report
says they amounted to 1884 killed. Ii, 700
wounded and 6.643 missing-in all, % 1856.
Gen. Lee in his report declares that it is
not In his power to give a correct state
ment. 1t has been estimated by the
Union officers that Lees loss was over
5000. and allowing five wounded for one
killed, which is the usual proportion.
there We're 1850 wounded. A well known
war writer places the Confederate losses
killed, wounded and prisoners-at $4,000
men.

tents is located partly upon the open field
across which Pickett charged on that
memorable third day of the great battle.
There are go acres in the field upon
which will be pitched this city of 5000
tents. The camping ground approaches
within 200 yards of the hish-water mark
monument 1t is southwest of the town
of Gettysburg. on an open field lying be-
tween the rolling hills that mark the
broken landscape Of this community.
This city of 5000 tents has been erected
by the War Department of the federal
government. Maj. James FL Normoyle.
on behalf OF the federal government, has
had charge Of the work. Mai. Normoyle
is the man who for two successive years
has handled. the governments work In
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys in flood
time, and has made q reputation for
executive ability. So to him was assigned
the task OF building this city of tents,
during that time Is to house one of the
most unique gatherings that have ever
been called together.
In each of these 5000 tents will sleep
eight men. The tents, according to army
regulation, are intended to house twelve
men. Upon this occasion a bit OF added
comfort will be allowed by placing but
eight men in each tent. Every man in
every tent must have been old enough to
bear arms in the civil war of fifty years
ago. There will therefore be few men in
this temporary city of 10000 who are less
than the prescribed three-score years and
ten. Occasionally there may be found
some youngster of only sixty-seven or
sixty-etght. but this will be unusual.
Many will be there who are above eighty,
and among those present will be veterans
who are crowding close upon the century
mark.
To get an assignment to a cot in one
of these tents on the Gettysburg battle
field 1t is necessary that a veteran pre-
sent satisfactory credentials showing his
service In the civil war. No matter how
good are his credentials. he may bring no
relative nor friend as guest. This will be
a most exclusive company. No man other
than those who carried muskets fifty
years ago may gain admission.
Maj. Normoyle has overcome many diff
ficulties in calling this city of tents into
existence. AS long ago as 1909 the state
Of Pennsylvania. by act Of its legislature,
created a commission to arrange a cele-
bration Of the flftieth anniversary Of the
battle Of Gettysburg. A year later the
federal government was asked to partic-
ipate in this celebration and the Con-
gress of the United States created joint
