 There was some delay in locating him, as he had recently moved and Olga had been absent from school on account of illness.

through which the string may be
drawn on as it is required. The box
from which our sketch was drawn
was painted with dark green enamel,
but If preferred, it could easily be
covered with silk and lined inside with
sateen, the material to be fastened on
with strong adhesive
On the inner side of the lid a strap
of elastic is fastened on with two tiny
brass-headed nails under which a pair
of scissors may be slipped and held
in place and on the inner side of the
front of the box there is another strap
of elastic fastened on with three
brass-headed nails SO that it forms two
loops, one for a stick of sealing-wax
and the other for a penknife. Ribbon
strings are provided to secure the box
when closed, and this is shown &C
complished in the small sketch on the
right of the illustration, and the string
can, of course. be drawn off without
opening the box
Should the box be covered with silk
instead of being painted, and if it is
to take its place upon the writing
table, the latter method would be the
better, then some pretty floral design
might be worked upon the material

II ~ the "reminiscences of the
founder of the day, Mrs.
Mary Cotton Redpath, who died IN
1914 at her home in Maiden, Mass, at
the age of ninety. Mrs. Redpath was
in Charleston, s. c., at the time with
her husband, who was on General
Sherman's staff. She was troubled by
the lack of attention given to the de-
cent burial of Union soldiers.
"Our men," she wrote, 'had been
buried as they died from exposure or
disease in the very troughs they had
burrowed for themselves in the ground
as protection against the weather The
majority of these graves were unmark-
ed and the field was uninclosed. Ny
husband and myself and our friends
formed a committee for consideration
of the matter, and a memorial address
ed to the loyal people of South Carroll
ma was issued, calling upon every one
in the state to aid in the erection of a
monument and suitable fence to pro-
tect it and to surround the place for
burial. Response was promptly and
generously made by freedmen and 9TH
ers, and in May, 1866, a great memo,
rial service was held in lions church.
"At its close, escorted by detach-
ment Of the regiment which under Gen.
eral Hatch occupied the citadel of
Charleston and accompanied by
handful of whites and a large host of
negroes, we proceeded to the race
course. On the previous day the col
ored people had gathered great guam
titles of spring flowers, which they
carried to decorate the graves. Mr..
Redpath and rode in an open car
rage with General Hatch and another
member of the committee. The en-
thusiasm was intense. When the pro-
ceSsion formed freedmen removed the
horses from the carriage and dragged
it out to the cemetery. The people
surged around us, waving their flow
ers and chanting the weird. stirring
songs of their race. When we reached
the burial ground the graves of the
soldiers We're heaped with myrtle, the
small yellow rose called cloth of gold
and other southern blossoms. Our re-
turn was made at night, by moonlight.

with gray moss, the negroes as they
marched still singing their poignantly

Mrs. Redpath was closely connected
with the civil war, and her home in
Maiden was one of the northern sta
tions of the underground railway" by
which slaves were sent to Canada and
freedom.
