when the board of education re-
fused to accept the appraisal of Ber-
tram Winston, Simon Strauss and
Jesse HoIdom, was it because this ap-
praisaI was too lOw?" Stein asked
Otis.
ooh, no, was the reply. cit was
because the board did not agree with
the manner in which the three ap-
praisers arrived at their conclusions. "
At the outset of the school lease
discussion, Stein suggested that the
property acquired by the Chicago
Tribune from the schools in the in
famous midnight lease deal, be left
out in considering the school block
from Madison to Monroe and from
State to Dearborn SITS.
LET us exclude the property of the
Chicago Tribune when talking Of this
matter" asked Stein. He gave no
reason for this action in the case of
the newspaper.
The efforts of both seemed to be to
decry court action contemplated by
the school board to throw out the
last appraisal on the State St scohoI
lands. This appraisal gives many

even lower rent than they have been
paying, in spite of a clause in the
leases which says that the valuation
shall be raised as the value of the
property increases. Rental is based
on 6 per cent of the value.
eff the appraisal is accepted the
school board would lose about $780,
1000. Am l right?" asked Atty Stein.
''Right," answered Otis. But the
matter might be tied up in court for
six or seven years and in the mean
time the school board viii lose the |

MARKED END OF BITTERNESS
Pathetic Incident in Southern Gene
terry Showed lessenins of
Wartime Grief.

For q long time there was a rigid
rule against erecting any but Federal
monuments in Federal battlefield
cemeteries and Confederate monu-
ments in Confederate cemeteries. But
as time passed and the bitterness
healed slabs were placed here and
there denoting that a one-time enemy
slept among the others. When Me
mortal day came the flowers were
placed ungrudgingly on the aliens
mound.
In one OF the southern cemeteries
where northern soldier rests there
Grating every Confederate grave with
tiny Confederate fiag-the Stars and
Bars. AS the survivors and the wild
ows and orphans of the Confederate
dead came spring after spring to
strew their flowers and plant their
flags they halted at the Yankee SOL
dier's grave for a second with bitter
thoughts Finally, as time passed and
their grief lessened, they placed flow
ers on their foemans grave also.
In 1872, as a young widow of one of
the dead Confederates went with her
little daughter to decorate the graves.
the girl noticed that no Confederate
flag had been placed on the northern
soldiers mound. So she placed one
there. The chairman of the Memorial
committee. passing by, removed it.
The little girl burst into tears and
it was hard to explain things so as to
satisfy her. Her elders began to think
over the incident.
The next month. when the widow
again went to the cemetery, she
brought with her small Stars and
Stripes. which she had procured only
after considerable difficulty.

must reach remote spot far at the

not hurry dinner would be late. Again
and again she changed cars. until,
weary and half-frightened, she came
at last to her destination.
Between the high pickets of the
fence before her she could see tall
elms and naples waving their arms in
the chill air. And the crowds of peo-
pie were in there, too! Could it be
that the whole world knew why she
had come? With sense of giddiness

OF the Confederacy, about four miles
from Corinth. had been given up; Mar

forces had taken possession of Old

railroad connections to the north and
east and had. by the twenty-ninth of
May. succeeded inAworking their way
to a position nea.' the Confederate
Notifications at Corinth, from which
an assault could be made.
1t was Halleck's intention to make
an assault on the following morning.
and he was expecting to meet with
strong resistance. But Halleck's ex-
pectations were not realized. All night
long the pickets and sentinels heard a
continuous roar of moving cars in
Corinth. At early dawn Halleck sent
out skirmishers, but no foe appeared
to oppose them. He then ordered
Sherman to advance with his troops
toward the Confederate Notifications
and to feel the enemy" But no en-
emy could be found. Where was he?
Out near Old Pennington there still
stands a tall tree which today is
pointed out to sightseers who visit
Corinth as Lookout Tree " From the
top OF this tree the Union spies, at the
time OF the siege. with field glass,
used to observe the movements OF the
Confederate troops.
The morning of the thirtieth of May.
1862, these spies saw only the rear of
Beauregard's army far to the south of
Corinth fleeing down the Mobile rail
road. The enemy whom Sherman had
been sent to feel" had escaped. The
city had been evacuated and left as a
prize of war to the Union army.
On this thirtieth of May there was
much rejoicing in the northern states,
for all through the month of May the
people there had been awaiting the
outcome OF this siege. On the follow
ing morning there appeared in the
New York Tribune a long editorial be
ginning thus: f
Another stronghold of the rebels
has fallen. Corinth is reannexed to
the Union. and Beauregard's army is
flying down the. Mobile railroad in
anxious search for the last ditch"
This tells the story. Soon after the
thirtieth of May of the preceding year
the battle of Bull Run had given the
Confederates strong footing in the
East, but since the beginning of the
year 1862 the Union forces had been
gaining a series OF victories in the

for the victory at Corinth. The result
of this victory was the establishment
of the power of the Union in the West
One week later Memphis fell. as it
were, by its own weight. This gave
the Union forces control of the Missis-
sippi, the only important stronghold
in the Mississippi valley that re-
mained secure to the Confederates.
While the people in the North on
this thirtieth of May were rejoicing
over the victory of their soldiers at
Corinth and over the results which
they felt would inevitably follow, what
about the people in the South? Nearly
year had now passed since the VIC
tory of the Confederate soldiers at
the battle of Bull Run. When the news
of this victory had come to the south
ern people many of them thought the
war was over. So general was this
impression that many of the southern
soldiers had gone back to their
homes. thinking that there would be
no further need of their services.
The evacuation of Corinth cast a
gloom over the whole South. but there
still remained with the southern peo-
pie an implicit confidence in the army
of northern Virginia. which was, on
that day, holding it's own in defense of
Richmond.
