the people of different neigh

clear off the cemeteries.
This is good work and
shows that a community has
some pride in its past and
hope for the future.
But how many graves in
those cemeteries are un-
marked by the simplest of
stone to indicate who lies
there and to show that those
who are yet here possess the

my promise, of perhaps more than
year ago. to complete my reminis-
cences of the battle of Gettysburg

not prove of great interest, doubtless
there are some readers who will en-
joy the story.
On the night of the 4th of July,
1868, after waiting all day. in vain,
behind our hastily improvised breast
works for General Meade to renew
the attack. the frayed and frazzled
battle-worn and battle-scarred latter
ed and torn remnant of what on the
three previous days, by actual test,
had proven beyond dispute to be a
host of the best fighting blood the
world has ever known, set out on its
retreat towards Williamsport and
Falling Water on the Potomac river.
As soon as the butchers could kill
and dress some beeves we were sup
piled with a ration of fresh beef. And
perhaps before the natural animal or
blood heat had escaped from IL we
had slices of 1t impaled on our bayo-
nets and on the ramrods of our mus
kets holding ii over the glowing

bloody water ceased to ooze from it,

wolves. This satisfied our cravings
and quieted the elamorings of the in.

GridirOn's Victims Are
Bad Third in Number
This Year
Hurtin9--5e killed.
Feetbail-16 killed.
6asebslI-5e killed.

These figures. compiled On the
mcst recent seasons in the three
branches of outdoor sport, show
hunting the most dangerous pas
time
There were as many deaths In
baseball as in hunting. but the base-
ball season covers nine months OF
the year, while hunting lasts only
a few months. and there are many,
many more persons engaged in
baseball than in hunting.
The football season lasts about as
long as the hunting season. but the
death toll is much smaller.
Besides the 50 persons killed In
hunting. SIS were badly injured. The
figures are gathered from 1s states.
Last year the dead numbered III,
the injured l62.
Tho decrease probably Is due TO
the fact that fewer persons hunted
this year. Wisconsin. for instance,
passed a law prohibiting the shoot
ing of does and limiting each hunter
10 one buck. Many old-time hunters
stayed at home.
Michigan. as has been the case
for several years, led in deaths
with IA.
Among the deaths IN Michigan
was that OF Jacob Bensomen, OF Cal
umet. He was 70 and had hunted
for years. He went out this season
for his last hunt. He was found
dead from heart failure. his body
lying across his last bit nf game.
Two women were killed. Mrs. j.
r. Ford, ~ Danville, Ill. was acci-
dentally shot by her husband while
on a duck hunt In Colorado. Mrs.
Reuben Bartlett. ot Blanchard, Me-,
was shot -by a hunter who though
ne was shooting az deer.
Accidental discharge OF guns was
responsible for most deaths and in.
iuries. In many other cases hunt
ers shot at what they believed 70 he
game. and found they had killed
fellow hunters.
The death toll: Michigan II. H.
