: CIVIL WAR "REMINISCENCES.


Mrs. Mary A. Livermore who has
been called the "Queen of the Amer
lean Platform" and who, during the
Civil War was a prominent member of
the Chicago branch>of the Sanitary Com
mission, has furnished to the world a
story Of her experiences and observa-
tions while engaged in the duties per-
tanning to her office, from which story
we take the privilege of publishing the
following as illustrative of the interest
the loyal women took in helping with
out of door work:
"During the war was called into
the country on frequent errands- In the
early summer of 1868 frequent calls Of
business took me through the extensive
farming district of Wisconsin and east
ern Iowa, when the farmers were bus
lest, gathering the wheat harvest. Hun
dreds Of reapers could be counted in a
ride of half a dozen hours. The crops
were generally good and in some in
stances, heavy, and every man and boy
was pressed into service to secure the
abundant harvest while the weather was
fine.

where driving the reapers, binding and

their sheaves had an artistic finish that

"One day my route took me off the
railway some twenty miles across the
country. But we drove through the same
golden fields of grain, and between
great stretches of waving corn.
" I've got to hold up a spell and
rig up this 'ere harness., said my
driver, and the carriage halted oppo-
site a field where half a dozen women
and two men were harvesting. Not a

reapers were like, 1 walked over and
aeeosted them.
"And, so you are helping gather the
harvest2'' I said to a woman of forty
five or fifty, who sat on the reaper
to drive, as she stopped her horses for
a brief breathing spell. Her face was
pleasant and comely, although sunburn-
ed, with honest straightforward eyes,
a broad brow, and a mouth that indi-
