One Of the interesting my
Own Adventures in Wonder
land" tales submitted in our re-
cent contest was written by
Harriet j. Wallace, a Seat
Pleasant (Md) member.
The story, we thought, was
particularly interesting because
It was real. And it told of an
adventure of which every child
has, at one time or another,
dreamed-a visit to a candy
factory.
This is the story:
"A long tmie ago, when I was
just years old, 1 paid a visit
| TO wOnderIand-a candy wonder
land.
'My father and mother had
taken my little sister and me
to st. Joseph, Mo-, and while
we were there we visited a
candy factory. What a wonder
land that was for a 5-year-OId
little girl! Everyone was dressed
all in shining white and there
were pans and pans of all kinds
Of candy everywhere. Some
were just being dipped into chOc.
Olate, some were drying, and.
some, to my excited imagina-
tiOn, were standing there wait
ing for me to pitch in and eat.
There were candy canes and
candy suckers, all shapes and
sizes. There were candy fishes,
candy clocks, and even candy
people.
"There were carameIs and
gum drops. Every kind of
candy I had ever seen and a
lots more besides. 1t was a
fairy land of candy. My mouth
just wanted a piece of every
kind. They said could have
all 1 wanted, but my mother
wouldn't let me touch a piece
until we were leaving and a
man gave my sister and me
some all-day suckers, one Of
each kind.
Later during our visit to st.
Joseph we visited the house
where Jesse James, the bandit,
was killed. We even saw the
gun with which he was killed.
eve saw a lot Of other
sights, but the most wonderful
Of all and the one I shall never
forget was the visit to the
candy wonderland"
Harriet painted so appealing q
picture of her candy wonderland
that we, as we read it, found our
self looking around for the candy
man who visits our office every
afternoon. If he had arrived at
that particular minute we know
we would have bought out his
stock.

, Reveille left her still asleep.
The roar of cannon shaking her
tent aroused her. Colonel
Sharpe had sent her some good
coffee, eggs, soft bread and an
orange. The headquarters laun-
dress, black as ebony and
weighing 800, gave her a bath
and a Scrubbing.
Sharpe sent for her about
noon.
General Grant was there, his
hands showed deep in his
pockets; a short, square, ICY
eyed man smoking cigar.
The lieutenant general Of all
the armies of the United States
was briefly, silently polite.
General Grant wishes you to
go to General Clusters COM
mand," said Colonel Sharpe.
"You will take as many order
lies and scouts as you desire.
The object is to keep any and
all rebel couriers from slipping
around to the westward while
cavalry fighting is going on.
General Sheridan has asked for
you. You know this network
of byroads and trails along the
Appomattox. Our maps don't
show them all, but you have
secuted them during the
autumn and winter, and I sup
pose, you know every one Of
them. Don't you?"

''Well, I saw a dead horse on

"Oh, I understand" said
Sharpe. He opened the dis
patches. They were not in Con-
federate cipher-which would
have made no differnece except
in time, because the Federal
military-telegraph cipher oper-
ators deciphered every Confed-
crate message. "Sit down,

Col. Sharpe wrote rapidly
and sent the message by or
