1 RID CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF fcfc . V I u IF AR SCENCES FAMOUS CHARGE OF PICKETT Qray-Clad Soldier Could Have Taker Life of Union Man Who Wat Making Observation. Nothing but a atono fence and a narrow margin of cornfield separated me from their fainoua charge. As a member of the One Hundred and Thlr-ty-elxth Now York Infantry, volun teers, we wero stationed in the field aa skirmishers and spent tho entire day the charge was made In that field. I was not far from the north fence, which ran cast and west. Pickett's troops In their charge moved to the west, on the other sldo of this fence, near where I waB placed. As they ap proached, passed, and after they had passed whore I was standing, I load eel and fired as rapidly as 1 could Into their lines. In so doing I disregard' d the Confederate skirmishers direct ly opposite us, who were quito active, and In this field inflicted on our com pany a loss of 13 out of 40 men, or a loss of about one-third of the company.' Pickett's men paid no attention to us, their terrible objective being In their front, from which direction a hall of bullets solid shot then exploding shells, and sb they ncarcd our lines, grapo and cannlster, rained upon them. Our flags wero always tho same, but the confederates in battles and charges carried red flags, not used ex cept in action, writes Henry M. Mat thews In the Chicago Record-Herald. Aa their lines approached opposlto where I was loadlug and tiring into their flanks as fast as 1 was able, the red flags kept falling and dipping to the front, and Instantly were raised by firm hands and advanced, but the dip ping continued. Every time one of these flags dipped or fell to the front Its bearer was hit, and It was seized by another. At tho rear of those ad vancing line a continual stream of wounded men poured out, and hasten ed as they could, back to the shelter of their lines on Seminary Ridge. But the column closed its gaps, as fast as mado, and moved in their grim de termination with the precision of clockwork. That night I was posted near the fence before mentioned, where 1 could hear the prayers, curses and appeals for water of the wounded, whom In trying to relieve, our details and am bulance men were fired upon by the enemy. The next morning I walked among the fallen Confederates, mostly dead, bat something of what I saw and a conversation which I had with a wounded Loulslanlan would lengthen this communication too far beyond the limits of the statement you requested. After the repulse, of the grand charge upon our center that afternoon the skirmishers in our front were not withdrawn, but I bellevo wero rein lorced. The ground was crowning, rising In a gentle ridge, with gradual sloping sides between us and them. When not firing we generally lay on the ground ready to get up and use our arms as occasion required. After a short period of quiet I aroBO and, bent over as much as I could, advanced up toward the crest of the ridge. When not far from it, I straightened up. Just as I did so 1 saw a little beyond the crest of the rising ground near a tree a gray-clad soldier, straighten ing up also. He was investigating from bis side the same as I was from ours. Instinctively, our guns were pointed at each other, I had com menced to rise a trifle more before he did so, and was able to fire first. He came down, so far as appeared not aa bit or injured, but without firing his piece. Then, being helpless with my mustle-loadlng gun, I have always wondered why, If not seriously wound ed, he did not discharge his weapon at me. Made a Difference. Col. Mundy, of the 23d Ky., after the Nasbvlllo campaign, was sent to New Orleans. He spoke to the head wait er: "Ah you th' head nlggah In this yere hotel?" "Ah's a culled gemmen, as all these yere other culled gemmen will veracl fy," said that dignitary. "Woll," said tho colonol, "lead me to the head nlggah. I have 5 yere fo' him. I want good service while I'm yere." "Oh, yes, sah; yes, sah-h; ah'm de head nlggah." Steel Furniture, Steel furniture Is being used In Ohlna for the reason that It cannot be harmed by the white ants and other destructive pests that eat their way Into wood. Experiments show that the use of metal cabinets also keeps docu ments and books free from dampness. Too lad. "Good gracious, Mandyl" exclaimed Jonah, as they approached the church door; "we can't git married thare. See that notice on the tree by the door?" And Amanda slowly spelled out the notice: "D-o n-o-t h-1-t-o-b h-e-r-e." Force of Habit . Mrs. Vansook (at the children's party) "I declare, little girls and boys of twelve stay up half tho night nowadays."

Corsage Rose Sets Av ...w sja bbbVsbb(e9bW ,,x CaaMawak. .awaVJRa aBaaaWVwaa$la,K laMRaaXPaiKaaaR aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamm?L7 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalaaaaaaaK WITH soft lace drapery which forms their bodicoB, gowns for evening or for afternoon functions are com pleted by draped skirts meeting the bodice with a girdle or sash. Often the top of tho skirt extends Itself into the waist lino drapery, and often a scparato girdle in a contrasting color 1b employed. But whatevor the finish at tho waist line, for these gowns for high occa sions, the splendid corsage rose Is rarely left out. This Ib a roso made of ribbon or velvet, mounted with or without millinery foliage and having a ribbon-wrapped stem. Such a rose is posed at tho front of the gown, usually a little toward tho left sldo and Just under tho bust. It Is a splendid factor in tho costumo; It is In fact "featured," given the star part In tho composition of the pic ture. The roses of satin or velvet are made In all the fashionable new col ors. Certain yellow and strong light green shades, also deep orange and black, have been favorites. These corsage roses In passing will trans form a plain skirt and dressy blouse Into quite formal dress. They are large and are mado of ribbon about three inches wide, or wider. The rib bon Is cut into lengths to form the petalB, each length being twice that of required petal plus an Inch extra for plaiting In at tho base of the pet al and winding In at tho stem. A wire provides the stem. A little ball of cotton 1b wound about one end, the size of a thimble, and over this a bit of ribbon is placed and fastened to the stem by winding it with a thread or tie-wire. About this centor a short length of ribbon (folded lengthwise) Is wrapped to Imitate the small petalB, still unopened, at the heart of the rose. After the center has been mado in this way, the petals are made. Each AFTERNOON GOWN A TRIUMPH OF FRENCH DESIGN HERE la an unusual and attractive gown from tho salon of a notable French designer. It has the grace of simplicity and It embodies several of the best style features of the present season. Among these thero aro the loose and comfortable management of the sleeve, tho tunic, the girdle, the easy adjustment of the bodice and a skirt a little shorter at the front than at the back and hanging In about the feet There is a little undor bodice of em broidered chiffon with elbow sleeves, finished with a wired ruchlng of mal ine. A band of beaded embroidery adorns the material of the bodice, which Is draped in tho fashion of the Chinese collar.

Aftor tho petals nay ten or eleven in all have been miule, they aro fastened about tho center or tho rose already formed, tied to tho stem with thread or tlo-wlro. Finally tho corncrB are curled back on bomo of the potnls and bllnd-stltchcd down. Shape the petals, cupping them villi tho lingers. Wind tho Htem with nar row green ribbon, winding In a spray or two of millinery rose foliage. Thcso roses made of velvet ribbon about two inches wldo in a deep gold color aro mounted with velvet folliige. Besides satin and velvet ribbon the heavier k&uzo ribbons aro used, and the gold nnd Bllvcr tissue. Roses of this sort aro expensive bits of luxury when bought ready mado from about two to five dollars each. Tho value is placed upon the time consumed in making them, and the workmanship, far more than In the material used. For less dress-up times, tho llttlo rosegay of rosebuds made of several different colors of narrow satin ribbon, is still a great favorite. These small roses are made of a length of satin ribbon (folded lengthwise along tho center) or of separate petals mado of narrow ribbon. They are mounted on little Btems of small green covered wire. Sprays of fine millinery folingn of maidenhair fern usually aro used .with them by way of variety. Narrow velvet ribbon in green or purplo winds the stems together, and finish tho nosegay with a little bow. Thcso smnll nosogays aro scented, and form tho daintiest of accessories worn on tho coat or furs for the street. Small bits of ribbon or silk will make them. They are always appreciated, bound to pleauo thoBo who possess a sense of tho value of such finishing touches to tho toilet. It would be difficult to think up a better Christmas gift for one's friends. JULIA BOTTOM LEY. tricacies in construction of the most slmplo looking of French gowns. It Is quite likely that this one is mado In two pieces, with tho skirt and chiffon bodice attached to a short under waist. Tho skirt overlaps at the front. Tho tunic is apparently fastened at tho left side and attached to tho bod ice. Tho girdle Is boned and is of soft satin, lined in irregular pleats. Gir dles are, almost without exception, made in colors contrasting with that used in the body of tho gown. Some times a girdle-Is in several colors, those In plaid of bright tones being favored for plain cloth gowns. An other development of tho alwnys pres ent girdle shows silk In three colors laid In pleats, making a three-toned girdle. Certain It Is that, in the man agement of the waist line, our present modes are the most artistic, tho most easy and graceful of any that lie with in the memory of the women of our country. The study of a gown of as great ar tistic value as this one should involve that of the dressing of the feet and tho arrangement of the coiffure, be cause both thcso matters should enter Into the consideration of a 'drossy cos tume at any time. Satin slippers In black with rhinestone buckles, and. silk hosiery of the color of tho gown take care of tho clothing of tho feet appropriately. Tho coiffure Is ono of those designs classified as tho "casque" stylo, in which all tho hair is waved. It Is ar ranged over the head like a turban. There is no chignon at the back. The' 1 ends of the hair are turned undor the waves and spread about in such a way as to dispense with a coll. In cutting a gown of this character wide goods are more easily managed than narrow. Skirts, overlapping at the front, while narrow, give room for easy walking becaUse the front Beam is not Joined down to the bottom. The under petticoat must be soft; the most clinging of fabrics, aa chiffon or crepe do chine, or lace. An inserted flounce will take the place of a petticoat. Anything heavy enough to Interfere with tho falling of the skirt in close and clinging lines would destroy an Important item in tho beauty of the design. It Is tho hang and not fit of garments which Is of paramount Im portance now. The figure, without dis tortion of any sort, without restraint, but in tho lovely, natural Bllbouette, Is glorified in present day stylos, which really amount to cleverly ar ranged drapery. Garments must not shape tho figure today; they must be shapod by It, or appear to be, anyway. Henco so many gowns seem to be de signed for the corsetless figure. JULIA SOTTOMLEY.
