A handful of blue clad men, old, gray,
bent, worn men, stood behind a stone
wall on cemetery ridge on Gettysburg
battle field. Over them fluttered the din
gy battle-flags of a brigade of Pennsyl-
vania soldiers. These old men peered out
over a stone wall at another band of old
men lettering across the country in their
direction band of $50 old, bent. gray

of Pickett's brigade which had charged
across that same ground on July 4, lS63.

VISIT TO REYNOSA
BANQUET TEMPERED MAJOR MI

DR. w. j. Douherty who accompanied
Major Muiica and staff TO Reynosa Sun
day reports things as quiet as possible.
The party G insisting of Major Mujica
and staff and The sisters of General
Blanco left Matamoros about eight
o'clock Sunday morning and reached
Reynosa about noon.
All along the line the Constitutional
lists were received with vivas and ex-
presSions of good will.
AT several points on the line scouts
and parts of companies of soldiers were
seen. They were well disciplined, order
ly and well mounted. This was especial
ly so at Rio Bravo and at Reynosa. At
Rcynosa one company of infantry and
one company of cavalry is stationed.
These are well equipped with ammuri-
ton and are in good shape for field work..
Persistent had been the rumors CT
trouble about to be had at Reynosa that
even the soldiers of Uncle Sam were on
hand on the other side of the river. \
company under Sapt. Smith from For
dyce came Gown to see that everything
was alright.
When the party reached ReynOsa, they
found the people on the other side of
the river lined up as if ey expecting an at
tack OF some kind. No evidence was seen
CT any federals along the line and moth
ing could be heard of any having been
in that section.
At two o'clock the Reynosa people ten
dered a banuet to Major Mujica and
those with him. DIR. Dougherty being
the only American present at the ban
quot. lie reports a splendid spread and Il
very enjoyable time.
Returning the party reached Matamo-
ros at nine O'Clock last night without
having seen any sign of the federals any
time during the day.
1t was noticed along the way that lit
tie or no d~epredations had been COM
mitted and no sign CT burned bridges or
houses was in evidence.

RACING FOR BANKRUPTCY
1t cannot be said that the Balkan peo-

Tt cannot be said that the Balkan peo-
pies improve on ACQUAINTANCE.
Their treatment of each other is not
calculated to elevate them in public
estimation. 1t is true that now and then
stories leaked out about the horrible
barbarities with which they treated their
ancient enemies, the Turks. We could
not quite excuse that sort of thing, but
we remembered the centuries of unspeak-
able outrage and wrong suffered by
them from the Turks. 1t was easy to
understand how atrocity might seem to
excuse a~trocity from their way of think
ing. We could hardly expect a people, to
emerge in Il moment from a state of OPP
preston i'm which little development was
possible for then. into the full sunlight
of advanced civilization. Yet we cannot
find anything, in the relations OF them
with one another that will justify the
atrocities they are emitting ag-
ainst one another. The war they are
now carrying cn is sure to provoke in
reference Oh the part of the powers.
The good. high-minded powers cannot
long endure the sinful slaughter those
supplemented barbarians are perpe-
trating. 1t will be necessary for some
body to pay the cost-and that some
b1dy will not be the powers themselves.
The bankrupt, highly encumbered estate
the Balkan peoples have acquired from
the Turks, will hardly suffice to pay the
costs when the suit is ended. Neverthe-
less the powers will not work for moth
ing. In their kindness, just to save fur
Their blcodshed, they might consent to
take over the aforesaid bankrupt es-
tate and DO the best they can with it.
AS to the Balkans. servetem right. aThey
fought a great war. They exhibited much
courage, some generalshin and mighty
little common sense. They are now engag-
ed in d %ruinous quarrel among them
selves-a quarrel which can result in
no good to anybody-except possibly to
the commissioners in bankruptcy who
adjust their affairs when they have
fought each other into the poor house.
The hand organ is banned in Berlin.
The police say there is too much good
music. free for all who wish to enjoy it
in Germany t. tolerate the hand organ.

p. H. s. Loses Again

Putnam Highs crippled team was defeated on it's own court by Woon socket High Friday night after fight ing every inch of the way. O'Brien, Putnam's center, and Murray, the big guard, were unable to participate on account of injuries. The final score was 24 to IS in the visitors favor.
 Woonsocket started the scoring and held the lead throughout except for short period. Putnam tied the score several times but were unable to forge ahead. Putnam fans were satisfied with the showing their team made as they realized it was plucky fight with the absence of two ground gainers.
 Spratt was most in the limelight for the Rhodes and caged half of the bas- kets for his team.
 Boissoneau, Gascoigne and Fuller showed to advantage for the home team.
 P. H. 5. freshmen continue their winning game and won from Tourtel- lotte Memorial High at North Grosve- nordale. Some good timber is develop ing in this team that will be heard from another season.

Tony Leo's Troubles

Tony Leo of Thompson, formerly a contractor with an office in this city, was arrested in Willimantic Friday on g warrant issned by the Putnam city court charging him with obtaining money by false pretenses from Thomas Ryan of Thompson, at Putnam last May. The warrant was issued some months ago and placed in the hands of Sheriff Bates of Thompson but he had been unable to locate the man. News paper items to the effect that Leo was to appear before Referee in Bankruptcy A. J. Bowen at Willimantic Friday at tracted the attention of an officer of the city court. The sheriff was in- formed and went to Willimantic and placed Leo under arrest. Deputy Judge Geisser was in Willimantic and accepted a bond of Tony Vito, Leo's father-in-law, for $l ,000 for Leo's appearance before the court Feb. 21.
 The warrant sets forth that Leo ob. tained the endorsement of Thomas Ryan on note for Sl ,000 after he had represented to Ryan that he owned some twenty-five horses, road rollers and other property, free from incum- brances which statement the complaint alleges was false, and that Ryan had to pay the note.
 Leo at one time had several contracts for building state roads, both in this state and Rhode Island, but he got into financial difficulties and was pe- titioned into bankruptcy. Friday was set as the day for him to file his list of assets with the referee at Willimantic. The investigation tended to show that the only assets are damages that might possibly accrue for suits brought on contracts for highway work either completed or in process of construc- tion. Leo at one time had contracts involving S97 900. After the hearing Leo was placed under arrest.

Colonial Jack in Town Friday

"Colonial Jack, a noted pedestrian and his wheelbarrow, every square inch of which is covered with cards and addresses of places he has passed through, arrived in town Friday morn- ing from Willimantic. "Colonial Jackn is on a lecture tour through New England. speaking at theatres, his talks being illustrated with slides of photographs taken during his trip across the continent. He appeared at the Bradley theatre Friday night. His curious vehicle in which he transports his belongings from town to town ex- cited much curiosity on the street.
 In telling of his travels he said he left Portland, Maine, June l, 1908 to walk and push a wheelbarrow around the border of the United States in 400 days, distance of 5000 miles, and to average P 12 miles day.
 The walk was made in 357 days, 43 days ahead of schedule, thus making 1t one of the greatest walking feats known. He started from Portland, Me-, and followed the northern border to Seattle, W ashington, thence down the Pacific coast to Los Angeles, Cali fornia, across the southern border to Jacksonville, Fla, then up the Atlan- tic coast to Portland.
 During the trip Jack wore out eleven pairs of shoes, five wheels, and three tires to the wheelbarrow.
 J. A. Krohn is his name and he is of Swedish arentage. He was 40 years old last Wednesday, His birthplace is St. Peter's, Minnesota. Jack told the reporter that the weather was cold the day he was born. His father often told him that the thermometer record ed at the time 55 degrees below zero and that to save the COW from freezing his father took the animal into the kitchen.
 Jacks home is in Winchester, M ass, f, where his wife and child reside. In 1914 he expects to leave Seattle, Wash ington, for Boston, distance of 4,000 miles, which he will attempt to &C., complish in 100 days, or at an average of 40 miles day. By this he hopes to beat the 4,0OO mile record now held by Weston, who did the trick few years ago in exactly l05 days.
 He carries unique souvenir of every town in the way of well-filled book of ipostmarks stamped by the post masters of each town visited.

There was triple runaway in the city Friday morning without any se- rious damage.

Close Gail For Former Putnam Girl

Miss Edna West, IT, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Edward West Dayville, formerly of this city, had narrow escape from drowning in the mill pond at Dayville Monday night. Carroll Bristol, son of Rev. and Mrs. F. l.. Bristol of Dayville, who was with her, experienced the same narrow escape
 The couple were skating on the pond with which they were apparently little familiar. They skated out near what, to those familiar with the pond, is know as the "whirlpooln Here the water is in constant motion and sell dom freezes thick enough to bear any weight. There was sudden crack ing of the ice and the two skaters were struggling in twenty feet of freez- ing water. They held to the edge of the thin ice and managed to keep afioat while they cried for help. It was several minutes before they could attract the attention of other skaters and make them understand their grave predicament.
 When rescuers finally arrived Henry Brunette laid flat upon his stomach on the thin ice while companions held him by the heels. Carroll insisted that his companion be taken out first and after she had been dragged to safety he was pulled out. Both were hurried to their homes and given ne- cessary treatment to prevent serious results and both were all right the fol- lowing day.
 Miss West stated later that she was so deep in the water that it ran into her ears. Her huff froze to the ice and this helped to bear her up. Both young people are students at Killingly High school.
 MT. (Ed) West was in the city Tuesday and told of ,the accident and still spoke with a trembling voice as he thought of what might have hap pened but for the bravery and fortitude of all concerned
