CAPTURED A VIRGINIA FLAG
Capt. B. H. Jellison of Haverhill, Mass.,
Received Medal of Honor for
Taking Banner.
Capt. Benjamin H. JelllBon or Haver
hill, Mass., haa a medal of honor that
was presented to him by General
Meade at Petersburg for the bravery
he displayed tn capturing the flag ol
the Eighteenth Virglnlareglment dur
ing the battle of Gettysburg.
Captain Jellison la the doorkeeper
of the aenato chamber at the state
house, and for several years past he
haa alwaya been 'detailed to tell his
war experiences, as well as the stir
ring scenes of Gettysburg, whenever
school children have visited the state
house. Captain Jellison served In
Company C. Nineteenth Massachusetts
Infantry.
"We arrived." said he In relating his
experience, "on the night of July 1,
and the command was ordered the
next day to the left In the rear of the
Third corps.
"The rebels turned a battery on us
and we were forced to fall back, Com
pany C being the sixth In lino. Our
color bearer was shot, and when he
fell I picked up the colors and was
made a sergeant on the spot for my
action In saving the colors.
"On the third day we Were at Ceme
tery ridge in support of the New York
Independent battery, which lost nil Its
men excoptlng the captain, a lieuten
ant and sergeant. The cuptaln cried
out to ub 'For God's sake, men, volun
teer to work these guns and don't let
this battery be silent.'
"I was lying on the ground with the
colors by my side and Lieutenant
Shacklcy said: 'Come, Jellison, let's
go and help. We might Just as well
get killed over there as here.'
"Our colonel saw us and ordered me
back to the colors. The shelling soon
stopped and orders were given to rally
on the colors. We charged to the
fence near by and some of the men got
over.
' "Ah we neared the fence Lieutenant
Shacklcy said: 'Den, see that rebel
flag over there. Let's go and get It'
I rushed forward and succeeded in
capturing the flag and assisted In tak
ing a number of prisoners. With tho
stars and stripes flying and with the
rebel flag, that of the Eighteenth Vir
ginia regiment In my other hand, I re
treated." JOHN BURNS FOUGHT ALONE
State of Pennsylvania Erected Monu
ment to Cltlzen-Soldler Who Waa
Made Famous During War.
John Bums, tliu cittern-soldier ot
Gettysburg, who was made famous In
history, in song and In story, wuh r
real character, suro enough. At the
tlmo of the battle ho was high con
stable of the village, and revelled In
the office. He had no special Instruc
tions, but felt It to be IiIh duty to
preserve order In his bailiwick, and to
apprehend all suspicious characters.
As the two armies approached Gettys
burg, Confederate scouts and spies
appeared In the town, and were
promptly nabbed by Burns, who filled
the lockup, the basement of the
church and a warehouse or two and
was still on his Job when on that first
day Buford and Heth got Into hand
holts around Culp's Hill.
From General Raynolds he learned
that there was going to be a real bat
tle, and John decided to be In It.
Within an hour John Burns, citizen,
approached Major Chamberlain of the
One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylva
nia, and begged to be allowed to fight
with that regiment He wore a blue
swallow-tall coat with brass buttons,
and a high bat and carried a Long
John muzzle loading rifle, his pockets
bulging with powder and ball. Colonel
Wlster finally told him to get behind
a tree and fight, and be did. He
fought all day, and was wounded three
times.
He was born In New Jersey In 1793,
and served In the Mexican war, and
was one of the first to enlist In the
Union army, but the age limit retired
him. He was seventy-two years old
when the Battle of Gettysburg was
fought, and died In Gettysburg In 1872.
For his loyalty and bravery the state
of Pennsylvania erected a monument
to his memory, at the very place
where he fought the citizen soldier
alone and without a commander.
An Open Question.
Irate sergeant, to a bunch of ran
recruits whom be was trying tc
drill:
"Look here, confound It; I won't
have this. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Shore, son," answered one, "wi
can't say, sor. We only came here
yesterday."
On the Zouave.
A Zouave rigged out In baggy breech
es, legglns nnd other picturesque par
aphernulia, was on picket with a sol
dier of a wostern regiment who was In
regular uniform.
The two were Treatly astonished
when a rebel jumped out from be
hind a log, looked about and dropped
over as if dead. They examined him.
"There Isn't a mark on him," ex
claimed tho Zouave.
"No," rcrllod the other soldier. "I
guess be saw you, and Jcs' laughed
hlsself to death."

Colon, C, Z. With the completion of
the Panama canal the Importance of
the Panama railway will decline al
most to the vanishing point.
For nearly sixty years this railway
has been carrying people and freight
from ocean to ocean. Though only 47
miles long, It has been, for certain
periode, one of the most Important and
most interesting railroad lines In tho
world. During the building of the
canal, under the ownership of the
United States, It has become one of
the best equipped and most efficient of
railways. It has given great help in
the construction of the canal that will
prove Ub virtual death.
The finding of gold In California was
the cause of tho building of the Pana
ma railroad. For long years beforq
tho wild rush of argonauts In 1840 the
Isthmus was almost forgotten by tho
civilized world, but when tho yellow
metal was discovered on tho west
coast It became onco more a great
trade route. In order to avoid tho long
trip across the plains in "prairie
schooners," thousands of gold-seekers
went by boat to Chagres, up the Cha
grcB river to Gorgona or CrucoH and
thence over tho old Spanish road to
Panama. Thle, too, was a long route
and In tho rainy soaBon a painful and
dangerous ono becauso ot tho preva
lence of disease.
To the roscuo of the gold hunters
qame three bold Americans, W. II. As
plnwall, Henry Chauncey and John L.
Stevens. In 1848 these men had asked
the government of New Granada for a
concession for the road, and In 18D0
Stevens obtained It at Bogota. The
Pacific tcrmlus could not be otherwise
than at Panama, but at first the har
bor of Porto Hello was selected for tho
Atlantic terminus. However, a New
York speculator spoiled this plan by
buying up all the land about the har
bor and holding it at a very high price,
so Navy Bay was chosen Instead.
When work on the lino was begun in
May, 1850, (here was no celebration,
no turning of tho first spadeful of
earth with a goldon shovel.
Two Americana with a gang of In
dians landed on Manzanlllo island, now
tho slto of tho city of Colon, then a
desolate, uninhabited spot, and began
tho tromndoue task of clearing tho
route through the denso jungle The
surveying party suffered Intensely, for
tho land was so swampy and so Infest
ed with malaria and yellow fever bear
ing mosquitoes that they wero com
pelled to sleep aboard a ship. Much
ot the time they carried their lunches
tied on their heads and ate them
standing waist-deep In the water.
The efforts of the company to ob
tain laborers were attended by a ter
rible tragedy. Eight hundred Chinese
were brought over from Hong Kong,
but within a week of their landing
cores ot them died. Opium was given
the survivors and for a short time
checked the ravages of disease. But
the supply ot the drug was shut off on
account of Its cost, and again the
deaths became numerous. The poor
Orientals in despair began to commit
suicide, some by hanging, others by
impalement, while some deliberately
sat down upon the seashore and wait
ed for the rising tide to overwhelm
them. In a few weeks scarce two hun
dred were left, and these, broken In
health and spirits, were sent to Ja
maica. Another shipload of laborers, this
time from Ireland, met no better fate,
for nearly every man died.
The material difficulties that con
fronted the railway builders aro thus
summarized by Tomes in his "Panama
In 1855:" "Tho IsthmuB did not sup
ply a single resource necessary for the
undertaking. Not only the capital,
skill and enterprise, but the labor, tho
wood and Iron, tho dally food, the
clothing, the roof to cover and the In
struments to work with came from
abroad. . . . Most ot the material
used for the construction of tho road
was brought from vast distances.
Although the country abounded
In forests, it was found necessary,
from the expenso of labor and the
want of routes of communication, to
send the timber, for the most part,
from the United States, and not only
were the rolls, to a considerable ex
tent, laid on American fine, but tho
bridges, and the houses and work
shops of tho various settlements were
ot the same wood, all fashioned Jn
Maine and Georgia. Tho metal work,
the rails, the locomotives and the tools
were brought either from England or
tho United States. Tho dally food of
tho laborers, even, camo from a New
York market."
The first section of the road was
laid through a mangrovo swamp tn
which no bottom was found, tho tracks
being floated on an Immense pontoon.
By October, 1851, eight miles had beon
completed and nolld ground was
reached at Gatun. Lack of funds now
began to hamper the builders. In
& JMJay-
vestors in the states bad become dis
couraged and the cost of labor had ad
vanced. But a hurricane came to tho
rescue. Two ships loaded with gold
seekers were forced to anchor near
Manzanlllo Island and the passengers
paid the company a handsome sum to
carry them to Gatun in work cars. The
new that the road had carried more
than a thousand passengers reached
New York and funds again flowed Into
the coffers of the company.
As tho work progressed passengers
were hauled longer and longer dis
tances and before tho line was com
pleted the receipts from passengers
and freight were considerably above
$2,000,000. Tho last rails wero laid
tho night of January 27, 1855, nnd the
next day the first train passed clear
across the Isthmus from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Tho entlro cost ot the
road up to December 31, 1858, had
been something loss than $8,000,000
and Its groHH earnings in the same
tlmo wero a little more than that sum.
The rato across tho .sthmua wan put
at $25 gold, being intended to bo to a
certain extent prohibitive until they
could get things into ood running or
der, but so groat was tho volume ul
travel that tho rato was not reduced
for moro than twenty years. Soon aft
er Its opening tho rond began to do
claro 24 per cent, dividends, and at
ono time its stock went up to 350.
In the '60's the company foil on hard
times. It lost much of its freight traf
fic, was held up by the politicians in
Bogota and then Buffered by tho com
pletion of the Union Pacific railroad.
Next Ruseell Sage and othern llkn him
got control of the dlrcctorato and
wrecked tho road. When do Lesseps
came over to dig a canal his company
bought up tho stock and used the road
to help In Us work.
Then In 1904 tho United States
bought out the French company and
also acquired tho railway and so it
became tho first American road to bit
owned by tho government. So eco
nomically and efficiently has it been
conducted since then that it Is cited
as an argument for tho government
ownership of all our railways.
The building of tho canal and espe
cially the creation of tho artificial Ga
tun lake mnde necessary tho reloca
tion of tho Panama railroad along
most of Ita route. The old roadbed
now Is under water for much of tho
way, tho old lino still In uso being only
about seven miles In length, from Co
lon to Mindl and from Corozol to Pant
ma. From Mlndl to Gatun the grau
aBcendB to 95 feet above tide level.
From Gatun the road runs cast until It
Is four and a halt miles from the
canal, and then south again on great
embankments across the Gatun valley.
Along this stretch paesengere ob
tain an unusual view. Because of the
construction of the Gatun dam across
the channel of the Chagres river, tho
Chagres valloy and all its tributary
valleys have been converted Into a
lake with an area ot about 164 square
miles. The Gatun valley Is one of
these drowned arms and as the train
crosses, wide stretches of water are to
be seen on both sides of the track.
Down below the surface are still vis
ible the tops ol giant trees that have
been killed by submergence, and along
the edges of the lake tho tallest and
hardiest of tho trees reach thlr dead
limbs above the waters. Here and
there Is a pretty llttlo Island that not
long ago was the summit of a hill, and
the shore lino Is most picturesquely
broken up by capes, peninsulas and
bays.
From Monte Llrlo the line skirts the
shore of tho lake to the beginning ot
tho Culebra cut at Bas Obispo. Orig
inally It was Intended to carry the rail
road through tho Culebra cut on a 40
foot beam along the east side, ten feet
above water level, but this plan was
knocked out by tho slides and breaks.
The lino was carried around Gold Hill
to a distance ot two miles from the
canal until It reached the Pedro Mi
guel valley, down which It runs to
Paraiso and the canal again. Thence
it runB almost parallel with the chan
nel to Panama. There are two big
steel bridges on the line. One, near
Monte Lirlo, has a center lift span to
permit access to the upper arm of Ga
tun lake; the other, a quarter of
mile long, across the Chagres river at
Gomboa. The total cost ot building
tho new line of the railway wbb $8,866,
392. In addition, a large eum has been
expended In increasing the terminal
facilities.
Of course, even after the canal ii
opened, tho railway will havo a good
deal of business, transporting people
and goods between Colon and Panama,
and serving tho needs of the operating
forces of tho canal. But Its days ol
glory havo departed, and J, A. Smith,
the Atrerlcan who has been Us effi
cient general superintendent, recog
nizing that fact, -bos resigned and re

But the crop of 1913 will restore

Owing to a wet fall In 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the post winter
there was a large area which it was
difficult to seed at tho usual time tho

thing seeding wus later than usual. A

Coming back to the crops of 1913. It
may safely be said that the yield ot
wheat In Saskatchewan will bo about
115,000,000 bushels, with an average
yield of over 22 bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but a fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that of last

of which the average Is considerably
less than last year, will produce a
greater average than for years. What
