Gen Lee was preparing Tor ms SUI

but unwilling hands of Lougstreet- The
troops chosen for this final assault on
the union line were on the rlgnI, Gen
Pickett's division, composed Of the best
Firginian troops, supported BY WIZ
cox's division and on the left Petit
crews and Trimble's divisions
This attack was preceded by the
greatest artillery duel In the annals OF
war. A silence of several hours dura-
ton within the Confederate lines which
had worked badly on the nerves Of the
northern troops was broken early IN
the afternoon by the reports of two
guns They were the signal for the
duel to begin. In another instant there
was a simultaneous discharge OF 15O
Confederate cannon. The Union arLlI-

When Cen Hunt, Meade's chief artll-

might cool, Lee took il for granted that
he had silenced the enemy, and that
the time was ripe for attack He sent
word to Pickett to lead out his men

Take Il Easy
BY Walt Mason

Don't be in a hurry. do not throw a
lit; all your fume and furry do not
help a bit. Men who really do things,
gifted men and skilled. men who carve
and hew things, men who plan and build,
do not tear their garments as they put
up hay; that's for foolish varmints-
that's the senseless way. Mighty men
are never fussing as they toll; for your
best endeavor that will surely spoil; be
as bright and breezy as a meadow lark:
learn to IKE it easy. sidestep cares that
cark. As we slowly travel up ife's
dreamy mount, toiling. scratching gravel.
make each motion count. Every step
should take us nearer to the TOP; It
viii only break us if we pause to vawp;
If we pause to buster. if we pause to
fret. getting in a fluster and a foolish
sweat. Thus the foolish farer thinks
the journey sad; finds the hill a terror
and the walking bad; on his hands and
knees he makes the last few laps: If
he'd take it easy like the other chaps.
he would reach the summit to the VIC
tors song ike the rest. he'd hum it.
