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

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."

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

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.

at tho raw edges. Tho plaits aro
Bowed down. 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.
