Turn from page to page la any section of this wonderful work
scan the faces in the long-lost War Photographs and you can see for
yourself the many mere boys among tile soldiers.
Some cf these boys you see marching, digging trenches, doing
camp-work and laboring at the guns on the firing line. Others are
beating drums, tarrying water, or at games and pastimes. Pitiful to"
behold, are those pictures that show us shattered youth in the hospitals;
budding manhood in the prisons; a life cut short on the battlefield.
. ' In these pictures of Brady's .we also, see the first boy jgenerals,v
their smooth . faces 1 already set with responsibility; we see George
Dewey as a busy lieutenant of a Mississippi gunboat; we see pictures
of six future presidents of the United States when they were smooth
' faced Civil War soldiers. ,
You owe it to yourself, you owe it to your children, to present
them with these Brady War Photographs, complete with Elson's newly
written history, entitled, '
"The Civil War
Stonewall Jackson just before his last "flanking" marchand his
mortal wound;
"Jeb" Stuart, the gallant knight, with his famous plume;
Admiral Semmes just escaped from the sinking "Alabama"; '
Pickett, leader of the Confederacy's "high-tide" at Gettysburg; and
Lee, the idol of the Confederacy, with sword and sash, at the height'
- of his fame in '63 "Every inch a soldier."
Ah Educational Work That Fascinates
The Young Folks (
Boys "and "girls, whether they "like history" or not," will study
every picture, every page in thi3 remarkable work. So fascinating is
the facing of the pages of text with photographs of the very persons,
places and times described, that the child reads on and on, glad to
learn about the strange and exciting scenes, the soldiers and their guns,
the ladies with their queer crinolines, the statesmen with their high hats,

i A new method of rebuking bore was
i Applied the other day to A young Kew
Tork traveling talesman, whose trip took
; him to one of the little villages in this
part of the great Maine woods.
At all of these villages every traveling
salesman must rub elbows at the one ho
tel with the men of the lumber camp and
log drive. The young man from New
York was one of those fluent youths who
feel that they can tell the native some
thing because the natives have not been
to the metropolis. He got started a Utile
after supper and none of the Others had
much chance. ?. .
He told all about things old and new,
from the rtatue of George Washington In
iront of the place wnere the Father of
the Country took the oath of office for
his first term, to the East river bridges,
the Pennsylvania station, the Singer
building Snd the Immense population.
fome of those present noticed one of the
lumbermen working with pen and ink
over a large strip of cardboard. He care
fully drew on one end of his card a cir
cle ' .about &fl Inch In diameter, and
worked the pen to and fro inside the
circle until the Ink covered it all. Pat
tiently he watched it dry, and then with
a Jack-knife and a foot rule trimmed the
cardboard to two inches wide and a foot
long with the nig, round, black spot at
one end. Then he turned around to the
talker and in the blandest of tones re
marked: "Mister. It's time for me to go to my
camp, but I want to thank yMfrfor the
information you have given us tonight,
and to assure you that It is appreciated.
I appreciate It bo much that I am sorry
for you in your predicament. I find from
listening to you that you came away
from home without bringing any period
with you, only commas and. semicolon,
and unless somebody helps you out with
a period I am afraid, you would have to
talk until you get back to New Tork and
find one for yourself. Allow me to offer
you this nice, large, new period and to
express the hope that you will find tt use
ful. And I wish to say 'Good night.' "
He handed over the strip of cardboard
with the big, black circle, i '
The New Yorker, dazed and hardly
comprehending, took It, and the maker
and donor of the period clapped on hU
cap and disappeared Into the night -
The recipient of ths period went to bed
at once, while the listeners chuckled
forth a lullaby. Kennebec Timet. . .
