version Of the scrutiny that is most
distinctly not excellent. The effect to

The losses at Gettysburg on both
sides were enormous. The Union
army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth,
Weed and Reynolds, killed; while Ora
ham, Barnes, Gibbon, Warren, Double

Hancock were wounded. The total
casualties killed wounded, captured
or missing on the Union side num-
bered nearly $4,000 men,. On the Con-
federate side Generals Semmes, Pen

dale were killed, and Generals Kemp

Trimble were wounded. The entire
Confederate loss is estimated to have

The Union guns at one time ceased
firing, and it is said that the southern
commander thought they had been
silenced, and then it was that Long
streets men made an assault and
Pickett's men made their charge. The
former generals objective was Big

en- back. Picket formed his division
in brigade columns and they moved
directly across the fields over fat
ground. They had no cover and they
had no sooner come into effective
range than they were met by such a
storm of shot as never before swept
over field of battle.
They went on and on, and on clos

their destination had a short hand-to-

INEFFIcIENcY.

When analysed, inefficiency amounts
90 one of two things, either it is igno-
rance or dishonesty. If one is ignor-
ant of how to do thing, there is some
excuse for him, but when dishonesty
is to blame for it, 1t is time for ret
ribution. Still, some people look up
on inefficiency with Indifference and
some, strange to say, with approval.
Efficiency of man speaks his char
acter. A community is depraved If 1t
ia made up of ignorant and dishonest
men, or, what is the same, inefficient
men. That is largely the trouble Of
many communities. They seem to toll
crate the inefficient man; to sympa-
thize with him, as if his misfortune
was not his own fault. A man who
can do SO worth Of work in day is
placed no higher In public esteem than
the man who earns only So doing the
same class OF work But the former
is truer man. He puts O high esti-
mate on duty. He strives to make
himself worth what he gets. If he
doesn't, he is a fraud. Fidelity to
ones trust is the mark os a real man,
The fellow who soldiers" on his Job
is an untrue man. There are many
men of this kind-they do as little as
they can. They will be happy II they
don't do S. worth for their S.. There
are men who have no scruples about
cheating an employer who happens to
have more money than they have.

burg were fighting in defense Of their
land from invasion, a condition which
military men say always adds sub
tie something to the fighting quality
which is in any man. Some authori-
ties have said that there were 100000
men in the Confederate forces at Get
tysburg to be confronted by 10000
Union troops. Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union force $4,000. AS it was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June, 1863, General Robert e
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester,
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state of Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and SO General Stuart with a
large force of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit OF the Con-
federates if it was attempted.

tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa,
which was a great railroad center
and a city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds of
supplies were sent out to the soldiers
in the field While the Southern com
mander was on his way with a large
part of his force to the Pennsylvania
capital another part of his command

Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg.
1t was General Ju6al A. Early Of
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after long hard march
on June 26. From there he went to
the town of York and from thence to

ordered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to a camp near Gettysburg.

and had reached point near Gettys-
burg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town.
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville,
had succeeded in out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command Of Lees
cavalry, had got around Stuart's COM
mand in way to prevent the South
ern general from forming a junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der. Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard of Hookers approach and
brought the different parts of his
army together.
Four days before the Gettysburg
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander of the Union army
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon a matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen.
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, that is, June
%, 1868, General George Gordan
Meade was named as General Hook
ers successor in charge of the North
ern army. General Meade at once

his headquarters at a point ten or
