Well, how about toasted sandwiches?

some story of French soldiers" says
Lockwood. "They used to have those
wine suppers every year" 1t was de-
cided to hold the annual reunions
on July q, the anniversary of the
Battle of Bull Run. Each year on
that day the veterans would assemble
at the Sawyer house after a group of
them had gone to the first National
bank and taken from it's vault the old
bottle of wine which was kept in
case along with poem written by the
late II. e. Hayden in 1887. The poem
was entitled "The Last Survivor to
His Dead Comrades"
1.-THE camp fire smolders-ashes fall,
The clouds are black against the
sky;
No taps of drums, no bugle call;
My comrades, all goodby."
By 1929 there were only three of
the "a left-Lockwood, John S. Golf
of st. Paul and Peter hall Of Atwa-
ter, MINI. Within the next year both
Golf and Hall had died, so when July
q, 1890, came around it fell to the lot
of Lockwood to hold the last meeting
of the Last Mans Club" SO he
stood alone among the 33 empty
chairs, black-draped, set about

been sparkling Burgundy wine but
which had by this time turned to
vinegar, and repeated the words of

filled he turned away-and the Last
Mans Club" had reached it's destiny
of dissolution.
When the Grand Army Of the Re-
public went to Portland, Maine, for
it's annual grand encampment in 1929,
two veterans attracted much atten-
ton by the insignia which they wore
on their hats. The ornament was the
tail of deer, for these two men, Will
liam A. Mckay of Utica, Pa, and Har-
ley Drips of Derby, Pa, both of the
Samuel P. Town post of the G. A. Il.
in Philadelphia, are among the few
survivors of the famous "Bucktail"
regiments of Pennsylvania. There
were two regiments of "Bucktails" in
Civil war days-the First Pennsyl-
vania Rifles and later the One Hun
bred Fiftieth Pennsylvania Rifles.
So far as is known the last survivor
of the original "Bucktail" regiment,
the First Pennsylvania Rifles, died in
1927. An issue of the Potter County
Journal at Coudersport, Pa, during
that year contained this news story:
The recent death of Charles w.
Dickinson, aged lightweight,
marked the passing of the last
member of the original Bucktail
regiment, famous for it's record
during the Civil war.
The regiment, organized in
1861, through the influence of Gen.
Thomas l.. Kane founder of the
city of Kane was made up large

section of the country. On April
IS, 1861, representatives from Nc
/ Kean, Elk and Cameron counties
met at the Smethport courthouse
in answer to summons sent out
by General Kane. Three COM
panies, the Mexican County Rifles,
the Elk County Rifles and the
Cameron County Wild Cats, were
organized and formed the nucleus
of what later became the Bucktail
| regiment.

Location of Graves

1t is a mistaken idea that graves
are placed so they are not directly
east and west. In modern cemeteries
graves are located so that they con-
form to the paths leading through
the cemetery, rather than to a GER
tain point of the compass.

me exactly where we we're, what my

was diving the ship too fast, or
when to come out Of it.
Ny instructor helped me straighten
out and as we neared the ground he
spoke again:
"Start bringing the stick back slow

CRAVEN'SPLAY
HAS BRISK
COMEDY

To dip into comfy comedy by
Frank Craven Is to cut loose
from all the current neuroticism
Of the American theater-from
gangster melodramas, from high.
pressure sex stuff. from all the
gusts of sensationalism that
sweep through it.
That is the dip" which the
National Theater players took
last evening, much to the de-
lectation of the typically middle
class Washington audience which
constitutes the staunchly loyal
following of this dependable
troupe of players, and which
took to That's Gratitude" last
evening as if it we're greeting a
long-lost friend of the era OF
George Ade and Charles F. Hoyt.
Good Performance
Truth to say, Frank Craven,
who knows his home-spun, un-
veneered, small-town Americans
as few of his countrymen do, is
not in his happiest mood in
''That's Gratitude"-certainly not
In the mood in which he penned
''The First Year"-but he has
provided another naturaliStlc
sketch that is slow-paced, spotty,
and none too certain of the direc.
tion in which it is going, but
nevertheless is filled with whole
some laughter.
AS for the National Theater
players, their performance is
one of their seasons best, de
spite the fact that their Leads"
are given something of weeks
