— = BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG (Continued froth first pe«e) I have, 1 cannot do It- And won't try. Accept my resignation at ^pee." Which was readily done. And George G. Meade, the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, was appointed Comnuuid-r and Chief of the Potomac Army. Again the Army was put in motion to fin i the Pride of the Southern Confederacy, and , if possible to give them battle. The First and Eleventh Corps was Instructed by Meade to bring on an engagement if possible. : Battle of Gettysburg by Detail, a s Fought, According to one who took [ Part in the Great Battle. The first day's fight waa a batl'.e ; royal with the First and Eleventh , Corps of our army against thres times ( their number, commanded by Early.and Hill of the Confederate Army. They ' fought more that day like bandits than 1 civilized American soldier*. Their disgusting method of robbing the -lead of their uniforms and sending them to a [ pauper's grave was demoralizing Such I were soffit of the acts of the first day of i that famous battle. ' But little did General Meade think ' when he sent Reynolds out to find the I enemy, that there would be so many of his noble patriots that would bite the * dust before he would be able to give 1 them proper support. But Reynolds ' found them sooner than was expected. His eagle eye saw at a glance that among the hills and valleys of that old Quaker town was the ground to fight (he battle on. He at once dispatched rf courier back to Meade saying "I've found the enemy in force. Also ground to fight the battle on around the hills and valleys of Gettysburg." That town grew famous from that day forth as furnishing the ground for America's Greatest Battle which makes it the most interesting and picturesque spot in America to-day for the travelling public. When Meade received Reynolds message he was not long in getting the Army on direct roads and quick step towards Gettysburg. The gallant Hancock was sent on to establish the line of battle which he found hard to do as the Army was not there yet. ine Army was nui mere yet.

All this time the First and Eleventh Corps were giving good account of themselves by baffling and fooling the great rebel leaders until the balance of our I Army came up and got in position so as I to be able to accommodate them with everything needed to make a great battle. In the meantime the Twelfth Corps came up and got into position, making it more interesting. Reynolds being killed early in the day, the command fell to Slocum who was successful in holding the enemy around that historic Here one of tBe most brutal and cowardly battles ever had been fought ' was still raging. After that Band,. of had stood up manfully and nobly for bqars fighting against four times their numbers, the anxiety and strain was entirely too severe for them to continue long and at last gave way in their retreat through the town. They met two brigades of the Rebel Army who shot them down in cold blood brutally showing no mercy. No sympathy, i no pity to their own countrymen. So ' ended the first day's fight. A complete victory for the enemy. Every piece of ground we held in the morning was wrestedJroM .n» and all the dead and wojwded left in their hands along with . prisoners — all numbering about • nine thousand, being a severe loss to • the three corps that were engaged on ' .that fatal day. | The second day's battle was the battle of heroes, where every person in it , stood up manfully nd nobly determined | . to sell his life as dear as possible or drive that rebel horde off of the sacred soil of Pennsylvania shoulder to I shoulder. We stood fighting like giants ■ against twice our number manfully and ' desperately. We were determined to ! hold our ground against that Southern Pride but foot by foot we were forced ( to yield to their superior ' numbers — . volley after volley of musketry broke" - forth to vibrate on the top of Blue 1 Ridge Mountain. And still no support 1 came to our rescue. It was a sin and a ■ shame to have so many brave bo/b biting the dust with three-Other Corps in the immediate vicinity that so far had not fired a shot. And why one of them . did not reach us earlier than they did j is one of the mysteries of war. Finally ■ the noble Ilancock came to our rescue s with his third division that saved our left flank. Then comes the Commander I of the Potomac Army at the head of the Fifth Corps. Thinkii^ from the roar and rattle of t J* musketry which he had heard that we were being annihilated fluickly and itf. The Old Third Corps was fighting" one-third of the ^ Rebel Command all the afternoon, e Sickles waa wounded, the command fell e to Birney. who had proven on other i , 11 •

. i fields that he was a great stayer. The i minnie balls seemed flying as thick and !l fast as the flakes of a winter's snow j l storm. How dny person ever lived, to 1 1 [ get out of that great hail of lead that i was falling in the Peach Orchard is one l of the mysteries 1 have never been < . able to solve, (leaning all the leaves i and twigs off of the trees. The ground I was covered with bark as being pre- i pared for a tannery. While on the ' . : ground lay dozens of our brave boys — < i dead and wounded or dying in the I ■ orchard where peaches grew. So ended , ; i the second day's fight with no victory I : for either side. | 1 ' Now comes the fight of Giants. The ! third day at the great Battle of Gettys- ' ' feet?- After Lee had been reinforced by 1 Ticket's Division of Infsntry and Stew- j art's Cavalry, he decided to cut through 1 the centre of our line. Then whip us • by detail. The scheme looked very nice ' to talk about But to execute it was : different. It was this Picket's Division 1 i bad come in that night from guarding 1 i the wagon train over the mountain and ^ | was fresh troops eager to take a hand • in the fray. He would amass that Di- 1 i vision near the centre of the line . properly supported. Then send Stew- [ art's Cavalry around the right flank of t our Army. And he will come up in the s rear of tjw~fcentre of our Army near the f umbrella shaped trees, at the sams I time tlult Pickett's men make the charge . in front. Everything looked plausible g if it was possible to carry it out. Bej fore we do that we will strike terror to B the hearts of the soldiers holding that part of the line. Every available piece s of artillery that could* reach that part L of our line was put in position, and one ^ of the greatest artillery duds the j world ever heard of was commenced, t principally playing on the centre of { our line which happened to be Hancock's Corps. They were determined to , demoralize or destroy it so their work ^ might be easier. But Hancock was their equal to the emergency. When he found their intentions in order to checkmate them he mounted his noble steed and rode back and forth in front of his cen- . tre telling the boys to "lay low and protect yourselves the best you can. I may need you all presently." What a e picture, that noble horse and gallant rider made. They were two of the great prizes of Nature's Beauty that e was hard to excel. The noble animal was sniffing the powder smoke with his nostrils extended to twice their origUUB.I HO cai.UUVU w - " v.^ ^

inal size. His n4ck was arched while his eyes seemed to Nash fire as he went prancing along to the tune of the great artillery duel that was going on at ^ that time, while tip- t ; rest Hero on his ^ back was transferring the patriotism and magnetism from his own soul to the ^ souls of those boys of his command. ^ His every movement seemed to say to ^ the noble and graceful rider on his back, ^ "Come on,, my Noble Hero, come on. I will carry you through shot and shell and fire or smoke. On to Victory or Death. If you will but guide the way." Was not that bravery, courage and ^ heroism of the noblest kind. It has no ^ parallel in Ancient or Modern History . of waff are, but stands alone to-day as one of the great feats performed on America's greatest battlefields, by one of her noble sons. Hancock, the Superb. , All this time tbey were shooting away tons and tons of ammunition, principal- 0 )y blockading the roads with limbs of f trees which were cut off as clean as 1 though a woodman had been there at J work with an axe. At last our batter- , ies ceased firing. They thought our am- g i munition had been exhausted. Or our ^ ■ artillery destroyed. They also stopped ^ firing. Jhen came one of the greatest i charges the world ever heard of. Picket's I Division supprrted by 'Hill's Corps was j. i to cut through the centre of our army j : being Hancock's Corps. Then we would « > be at their mercy and they could whip i us by detail We could hear them giving command out of the edge of the * - woods. They came marching as though ■ I to pass in review. Onward they came, I nearer -and nearer, to their goal with r the steady~and determined step they 1 had won victories with so many times 1 > before when the batteries belched J i forth the thundering roar of artillefyv j 1 plowing great furrows in their ranks ( > which were instantly closed up, but I never halted a step. Still onward came i the glistening steel of their bayonets, - 1 getting closer at every step, right up j I I to the jaws of death they came like the | i heroes they were — where a hand to hand t j fight commenced. -Where they found i the Pennsylvania Brigade equally as ^ - | eager for the fray with a more deter- ■ i mined will to conquer. They saw they , 1 I had been out fought, out generated. i They turned to fly for safety tW the 1 | ground from which they came buVthercr j was no avenue open, so they"' threw e | down "their arms, what was left of r them to surrender. So ended one of the r , bravest and most daring bayonet , e I charges that ever waa made in civilized i r warfare. Made by the pride of the e ' Southern Army, known as Picket's Division of Virginia Troops, wnich left , ■' on that great field of boitla seven - L i eighths of his whole command. They [1 made a bridge of human bodies from r .the High Water to Kmmitaburg.

touching the ground. A terrible sbughjter of human being*. What became of I their great co-operator, Stewart's Chva'ry, that was to come up in our rear and help to cut us in half — another one of Lee's misplaced hopes went astray, and Stewart got the finest thrashing of life when he attempted to carry out the dmty assigned him. He met the ever watchful Gregg, the commander of | one wing of our Cavalry, who hhppened lio have. Outer's Brigade with him, the youngest general in the army, a beard - jl'.as youth, wearing thhe golden ringlets bis mother gave him. But knowing the sword exercises as well as the best of ' them, asked Gregg for the privilege of charging. It being granted, he at the head of his brigade, dashed forward. The further they went the faster they went until he dashed into them, shattering them and scattering them. Up comes Gregg with the balance of his division. Then commenced the greatest saber fight of the war. It didnt last long for the Gentlemen Cavalry of the 6outh were principally all sieve owners and their muscles had not Seen toned up to compete with the Northern Soldier so they fled. So ended the greatest bat- . tie that was ever fought. That waa the battle that blasted the hopes of the political and military leaders of the , ( Southern Confederacy. Had they have won that fight they were to Have beer, recognized by England, ' Franoe and Germany. With only Russia at our back.

It was at that battle, comrades, , where the whole world sat up and took [ notice of the bravery, courage and great . endurance of the American Soldier in battle. That was the battle that broke ^ the backbone of the Rebellion and made slavery a thing of the past in America. ( It was st that great battle where the Boys in Blue accomplished more in three r days than the whole combined StatcsI men of America had done in eighty odd . years. j We abolished Slavery and made the Great Constitution of our Country a j true and living document as far as j slavery was concerned.

Still it '• was continued year in and year out °' until July, the first, second and third I' of eighteen hundred and sixty-three. when the gallant army of the Potomac d: under the leadership of the noble Meade, r! terror to the hearts and souls of v that rebel command. To such an ex- ^ they never won a battle from that ** day until they were forced td surrender ^ some twenty months afterward. When- ** ever we met victory was ours.

TRAINING ALASKAN CHILDREN a I I am sure that yon children would £ like to know just how native parents a of Aissira try to make their children 1: good. I have two stories to tell you. h First as to how they make the boys d hardy and strong. ^ The Thlingets of southeastern Alaska- o i are hunters and sailors. They make ' their living by fishing hunting and trad- a ing with other tribes. There are eleven g hundred islands in southeastern Alaska, r and through the channels. among these a islands, and the deep fjords that run 1 ; up among the mountains you will find , the beautiful Indian canoes propelled i by paddles. Sometimes you will find s whole family paddling away — father, mother ancl children. The little fellows r there learn to use their paddles almost ( , as soon as the duckling learns to use hU e The fish they get are some of them i very large and strong. I saw a boy . who was only ten years old and rather f , small for his age, land a hundred pound c • halibut. It took the little fellow a long « i while; the fish had bitten his hook at [ the end of a line a hundred and fifty - feet long, and the little chap labored i . and tugged for nearly an hour before he 1 j got the halibut's head up above the c s water. Then he fastened the line to I . the canoe and clubbed the halibut on > the head until he killed it. Then he : paddled ashore and towed the big fish , . to the beach, where his father came; 1 . and they dragged it up to the house, r The men and boys hunt bears, moun- ^ t tain goats, deer and mountain sheep | , among those mountainous islands, t Therefore, it is necessary that they be t strong and brave men. i When the boys are only babies, , e sometimes their mothers will throw e them out into the salt water — of course , . standing ready to rescue them if they e are in danger ol drowning, e One cold winter's day, when the tem- . perature waa down to zero, I heard a i great commotion at Wrangell — shouting and laughing and crying. I went out ; e to the beach and saw a strange sight. a Two or three old men among the chiefs s had gathered all the boys of the village g from eight years up to fifteen, and were e driving them with swi tehee out into /the if salt water. The little fellows had no ,f clothes on, and some of them were very S| reluctant to go into that Icy air and L cold water. But the old men were run--e ning after them, and if they caught a i. boy out on the bank, a sharp cut with i

switch would send him howling into water. The bravest of the little were splashing about of their own accord and even swimming ofit into, bay. One or two were so chilled by / the water that they were in danger of 11 and the old men had to hurout themselves and save these boys. When I told the men that their treatment of the boys was rather cruel they said, "That is the way we have always — that is the way to make the boys strong and brave." The other story 1 shall call "The I of the Moon." Here is it: J J You have looked at the sky many ! times, no doubt, and have called that figure in the moon "the man in the moon;" but you are very much mis- j taken. Look closely and you will see that it does not resemble a man at all. The Ojibway Indians are much more accurate when they call the figure "the in the moon." You remember what old Nokomis in Longfellow's poem 1 says to little Hiawatha: "Once a warrior, very angry, Seized his grandmother and threw 1 her. into the sky at midnight; J Right against the moon he threw her, Tis her body that you see there." But the Hyd- Indians of Alaska say the figure is that of a little Indian girl, with a bunch of grass in one hand and Indian basket full of water in the other. And this is the wav they say ] it happened : I There whs'a little Hyda girl who ! lived at Klinquan in Alaska. She was saucy little girl, and had the fashion of sticking her tongue out at people when she did not like them. Her ( grandmother was much troubled by this » habit. "Some day," she said to her granddaughter, "you will be tempted to ( stick your tongue out to the moon and then the moon will come down and get | jyou and the earth will never see you I any more." The little girl was somewhat fright- ! vned by this,- and for a long time, al- ; j though she wag tempted on moonlight nights to stick her tongue out at the i moon, she waa afraid. But one night mother sent her to the spring with of the tightly wovi^n~"Hyda baskets get some .water. When she returned with her basket full of water she looked up at the bright moon, sailing above her without a cloud or epeck on its face. She felt particularly naughty just then, and suddenly stuck her tongut out at the moon. Then, quick as a wink, the moon oame down and seized She cried out and grabbed for something to hold her back, clutching a bunch of high grass growing by the path; bat the moon was too strong for and palled in awnjr. The water i

The moon took them all light night, a fat little Indian fjri with hair flying, a basket of water with spilling from the- brim in OM hand, and a bunch ~ of grass in the _ ^ The moral of this story is very plain; and is often taught to the little Hyda girls; never' be disrespectful, and especially do not stick your tongue out at anybody above you. — Dr. 8.
