ever, did not deter Lee from following
mis- original plan He was determined
mat Pickett should make his grand as
Sault. In preparation, Alexander. the
Confederate chief OF artillery, opened
with one long line of seyenty-five
guns. while sixty-five of HiH's guns
came into action on the left Against
these the Fedefals, cramped for space,
could oppose but seventy-f1ve, and the
nre OF these was soon stopped that
they might be held to meet the infan-
try attack.
Longstreet, still certain the result
could be only failure, could not bring
himself to order the advance, but
shortly before two in the afternoon
Pickett himself asked and obtained
permission to go forward.
There followed one of the most des-
perate charges in history, beside
which, when one reckons in loss of
life, such an exploit as that of the
Light Brigade at Balaklava becomes
almost child's play. To reach the
Union line the Virginians had to cross
1880 yards of ground swept by terri
BILE rifle and artillery fire. All three
of Pickett's brigadiers went down, two
killed and one, Kemper, desperately
wounded. The Union troops, Gibbons
division and part Of the Second
corps, all under Hancock, held un-
fiinchingly. Lieutenant Gushing, COM
handing a battery, held in his entrails
with one hand while with the other he
helped roll a gun into position, cry
ing out, "Give them one more shot,
Webb" The slaughter was frightful,
but the dauntless Virginians actually
broke Meade's first line before they
withered under the fearful fire and,
abandoned by their support, fell back.
Brigadier General Garnett, who had
1eaped the wall with his hat on his
sword, died under Union gun car
riage.
This ended the battle. Afterward
there was only a retreat which might
have been a rout, had the Union troops
pressed their advantage or had Lee
been less prompt and skillful in raj
lying his men. The Confederates lost
10000 out of a total approximating
$4,000. OF Pickett's division, which
charged $500 strong, 1898 were left
on the field. Meade's losses were 3d.
600 out of $1,000, but the Confederacy
had attained its greatest success and
had seen that success wane into hope
less failure.

An Aerial Shepherd.

The gallant little republic Of Vene-
zuela, which may shortly come in on
the side of the allies, boasts of re-
markable bird which can be trained to
tend f1ocks, says London Tit-Bits- Not
only does the yak-a-milk, as it is called,
take the place of the sheep dog, but it
is frequently used to guard the home
of its owner.
When the Indians capture a yak-a-
milk they find little difficulty in train
ing it to domestic use. 1t is attached
to the farmyard and performs the
same duties as a faithful watchdog. A
yak-a-milk soon learns to know and
obey the voice of its master. Its usual
gait is slow and sedate, but sometimes
it will execute most eccentric move
ments, Waiting and pirouetting in
very absurd fashion. Instances are re-
corded where these strange birds have
defended their charges from attacks
Of wild and savage animals, and even
driven them or.

Modern Babylon.

Forty miles from New York In the
direction of Berlin and just behind the
Fire Island lighthouse, which we used
to trail from Homecoming liners in
the good old days before the war,
when cats might look at kings and the
simplest citizen of these United States
at the good things in the shop win
dows of the Rue de la Paix without
being classed as casus belli, is Baby
lon, Ralph Barton writes in Cartoons
Magazine. What wag, what droll fell
low ever thought of choosing the name
Babylon for south shore, Long Is
land, clam and fatfish village, the
chronicles fail to relate. Its gardens
hang right side up, and bear potatoes
in a highly respectable and patriotic
manner, and the once justly famous
daughters of Babylon are as scarce as
hanging gardens, for they simply do
not exist. The moment the Babylon
ian female attains that age when a
single swift glance at a male of the
genus suffices to tell her the precise
figure of his income, she takes the
IL :O4 to the better husband stalking
preserves 40 miles to the west-and
she does not return.

PLAN ARKANSAS DAIRY SHOW
First Exhibition Of the Kind In South.
eastern Part OF State at Par
sons in November.

Parsons is making ready for the
first dairy show to be held in South
eastern Kansas, November to 10, in
elusive, when persons interested in
the dairy industry from twelve to
fifteen counties are expected there for
the 4-day event. The program for the
show includes not only exhibits OF
dairy herds, dairy products, the sale
of blooded stock and lectures by dairy
experts, but courses in home econom-
les as related to this industry and
movie entertainments illustrating
dairy and farm work in localities in
other states where dairying has taken
its place as the farmers chief aid to
economic independence.
The show will be held by the Par
sons Chamber of Commerce, which or
ganization has enlisted the active sup
port of most of the leading stock
raisers in this part of the state.
I'VE wish especially to emphasize
the Importance of the dairy stock sale
in connection with the show that will
give the breeders in this section a
chance to offer their surplus stock for
sale," said c. NJ. Reed, chairman Of
the committee on arrangements. "This
plan will give these who desire to
increase and improve their herds an
opportunity to buy such stock as they
require. Letters received from dairy
men not only in Southeastern Kansas
but from Missouri and Oklahoma as
well, indicate that this chance offered
them to show their herds at an exclu-
sive dairy exhibit will not be over
looked.
1.-THE Kansas State Agricultural Col
1ege has promised to cooperate with
US in every way. Every day of the
show experts from Manhattan will lee
ture and give demonstrations. They
will be assisted by dairymen from
different counties in this part of the
state who have made a success of the
dairying business
Cash PRISE will be awarded exhib-
itors of herds in the first, second and
third classes. There will also be
prizes for boys and girls with the best
"calf club" exhibits, while women
showing the best butter will receive
cash awards.

HITS KANSAS BONE DRY LAW
Warrant Is Necessary Before Search
for Booze Can Be Made, Judge
Pollock Rules.

Methods or enforcing the Federal
law prohibiting the transportation
from a wet to dry state received
staggering blow in a ruling made re-
Gently by Federal Judge John c. Pol
lock. He held a persons constitu-
tiona1 right protected his effects or
his home from being searched with
out a sworn statement or testimony
or a search and seizure warrant. Rul-
ing in the Federal law is so drawn
that the government must al1ege the
vio1ators did not intend to use the
liquor for scientific, mechanical, sac
ramental or medicinal purposes. Judge
Pollock said the burden of proof that
the vio1ators did not intend to use the
liquor for these purposes rested on the
government.
Attorneys declare such ruling
makes it next to impossible for the
government to prove those allega-
lions.

Rulers Of ENGLAND.

The first to rule V c all England was
Egbert, king OF ,Wessex, who united all
the various petty kingdoms and became
king of England in S27. The greater
kingdom vas disrupted from S7S to
05S, when the Danes ruled north Of the
Thames. In the latter year King Ed
gar reunited the kingdom, and since
that time it has never been partitioned.

mute, Harold 7. and Hardicanute. The
first king Of Great Britain was James
|. (1G03). The first king of tho United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

of Ireland by Henry VIII, and there
after this title was used until the act
of union in 1901. The imperial sover-
eighty of India was assumed by Queen
Victoria.
