FAMOUS CHARGE.

Charge of Thirty-third Massachu-
sets Infantry at Raccoon Ridge, IN
front of Lookout. Suggested by the
Washington review.
Come listen while to my story
OF the fearful carnage of war.
Brought on by Southern slavery
Which all wise men should abhor;
And though the combat is ended
No sound of the dreadful fray
Is heard on the shores of Columbia
Yet honor the soldier today;
For he sacrificed time and manhood
In agony shed his blood
In defense of your homes and honor
Your country and your God.
Scorn him not if his steps are feeble
And his hair is sprinkled with gray
For God only knows what he suffered
When far in the war land away.
When the rebel guns 'gainst Sumter
Had hurled their iron balls,
And its little band of heroes
Had been driven from its walls,
In that hour of the nations peril,
When freedom gasped for aid,
And Abraham was calling
For every patriot blade
To check the hostile legions
Rising like mighty cloud,
Three hundred thousand hearts
Throbbed at the summons proud.
And in all that valiant army
Whose victories you have heard
The deeds of none shine brighter
Than the Bay State Thirty-third.
At Gettysburg we battled
To conquer the hosts of Lee
At Dallas, Aegueen and Chancellors-
Vile,
Went the fighting Thirty-three.
With Hooker we fought in the valley,
With Sherman marched to the sea.
Wild pigs and sweet potatoes
And turkeys we gobbled then;
II made the darkeys chuckle
To see Massa Linkums men,
For they knew the Kingdoms coming
The cat was out of the bag
| When from Mission Ridge and Look
Skedaddled General Bragg.
At the storming of Kenesaw Mountain
And seige of Atlanta likewise
All the men from Massachusetts
Were able to keep off the flies.
When General Thomas and Rosie
Had stood like an iron wall,
On the field of Chicamauga,
There came from Grant a call
To march to Chattanooga
For Military ball
In the tall dead grass in the valley
Each soldier pitched his tent
Expecting to slumber sweetely
Until the night was spent.
To rest on grassy beds
Once more from danger free,
Lulled by the murmuring waters
OF the deep blue Tennessee;
While before us the heights of Look
out
1 Loomed frowning, rocky and gray:
Where the shotted rebel cannon
Were watching for their prey,
And on Mission Ridge and mountain
Cleaned in battle array
The campfires of rebellion
Stretching for miles away,
And the voice of the owl and wild ca
Was heard till the break of day.
At II the longroll sounded,
Carl Shurz was marching down
With the 18th corps half surrounds
On the way from Bridgeport town
Fall in and charge the mountain"
We got but half way up
When a brigade fire of infantry
Brought us to a stop.
Then brave old General Smith
Rode on the ensanguined field,
And riding to the front
Said we must never yield,
But rally once again,
Let every man stand fast
Strike one more blow for liberty
Though it should be your last.
Now forward, boys! guide right!

THAT WILL
 AID STOCKMEN

Supporting two measures now be- fore congress, calculated to systema- tize the stock industry, its use of the public grazing lands, President Dwight B. Heard, of the American National Live Stock association of this city, has contributed a deeply analytical article to the September is sue of the American Riview of Re views. MT. Heard's article, which was compiled here from information se cured all over the west, is profusely illustrated with scenes on the ranges of the new west.
 Of a number of bills designed to stop friction between large and small stock interests, and interests of vari- ous sorts within this classification, MT. Heard picks out the newly in- troduced Kent bill, the product of the practical experience of Congressman William Kent of California, as the most complete, just and reasonable" Describing the bill, MT. Heard says:
 "The Kent bill provides for the ere ation of grazing districts on the un- reserved unappropriated public lands on proclamation of the president. fully protects homesteaders and pros pectors in all their rights, authorizes the issuance of grazing permits in cluding the right to fence for not to exceed ten years, and provides for the payment of fees similar to those paid in the national forests for grazing. Twenty-Five per cent of such fees %@ 14 dicfv ofc in oI, h O grazing lands are situated, for the benefit of the public&schools and pub lie roads in that section. In grant ing leasing permits, the priority of the present occupants of the ranges is recognized and provision is made for the; creation of local E committee representing various classes of live stock. This committee in cosopera- tion with the officers appointed by the government, shall make division of the range between the different kinds of stock to determine the num- Der of animals which can be safely grazed, and have the general admin istrative handling of local matters al- ways subject to the control of the government"
 Quoting Prof. Thornber of the Uni versity of Arizona, an authority of high standing on range grasses, MT. Heard says:
 (. Tt affects both the east and the west, the consumer and the producer. It. threatens the future economic pol icy. of this country. It is all import ant to- you stockmen. It lies with you to go before congress and demand reasonable legislation"

NATIONAL DEFENSE CONFERENCE IS
 IMPORTANT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14.- Plans for the conference on national defense, which will be held under the auspices of the National Defense League in Washington, October Al, immediately following the Grand Army of the Republic encampment, are rapidly being completed. The Navy League and the National Rifle association are cooperating with the National Defense League in the con ference. Representative Julius Kahn, of California, chairman, and Senator Robert F. Broussard, of Louisiana, vice chairman, of the National De fense League, will preside at the ses- sions of the conference, which will last four days and at which will speak the most prominent men of the United States.
 The conference on national defense probably will be the greatest conven- tion ever held in Washington. Thou sands of the grand army veterans have notified the league that they will re- main in Washington to attend the con- ference, after the G. A. R. encamp- ment ends. A large number of con gressmen, members of state legisla- lures, mayors of cities and others have signifed their intention of being present at the conference.
 It is expected that this conference will focus the eyes of the whole coun- try on the preparedness for national defense agitation, and will have an important effect on the action of con gress at, the next session for adequate defense measures.
 Women are going to take a promi- nent part in the deliberations of the conference. Many have written the National Defense League they will at tend the conference.
 From thousands of letters received by the National Defense League it is shown that in every section of the country there is a strong sentiment for preparation for national defense. Many of the writers say they will at tend the conference.
 A citizens committee of 800 promf- nent Washingtonfans has been ap- pointed to care for the local arrange ments for the jiconference,. and the press committee includes, practically the whole membership of the congress sional press gallery .s
 President Wilson, former Presidents Taft and Roosevelt and many other prominent men have been invited to speak at the conference.

 steads on grazing lands, the subject touched in the other piece of Iegisla- tion Mentioned in this article, the writer says:
 "The Kent bill was introduced at the same time Congressman Harvey B. Ferguson of New Mexico intro duced what was known as the GAO acre range, homestead bill, which had the approval Of the department of the interior, and finally passed the house. This bill provides that on such lands as the secretary of the interior may designate as stock grazing land, the stock raising homestead of $40 acres may be made on land of such charac- ter that GAO acres of it will reason ably support a family. Cultivation is not required, but improvement of not less than $1.25 an acre must be made on the land, one-half within three years from date of entry. The bill provides for considerable freedom in the selection of lands, and it is be- lieved by it's advocates that in a con siderable portion of the west, it would be availed of quite largely. It at best, however, could be used only on small percentage of the vast graz ing areas. There seems to be no reason, however, why the principles of the two bills may not be con- bined, general classification of all the public domain, promptly made, and this long discussed and vexed question reasonably settled.
 A strong point brought out by the writer is that federal control of the ranges is not an experiment, as the success of forest range grazing, un- der government supervision has proven. The real effect of the Kent bill, therefore, would be to convert all public domain on which there is no mineral or agricultural claims, into vast comparatively controlled pastures, regulated exactly as the for est reserve ranges are regulated and susceptible of just this same upbuild- ing that many forest ranges have undergone.
 Facts About Public Lands.
 Public grazing lands of the. United States amount to 2S0,0O0,OOO acres, or one sixth of the area of the United States and Alaska.
 American open range amounts to more than the areas of Germany, France and Belgium.
 Ninety-nine per cent of the public grazing lands are located within the states of Arizona, California, Colo rado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
