FRIDAY, AUGUST 8 1913 MISSION RIDGE [N WAR AND PEACE REUNION ON ITS CREST OF SUR. VIVORS DURING THE G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT WEEK AT CHATTANOOGA. The Battle of Missionary Ridge That Decided the Fate of the Army of the Tennessee and Opened a Road to Atlanta. Chattanooga, Tenn.—During the week of the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Its allied organizations, to be held in Chattanooga, September 15-20, a re- union will be held by the survivers of Misslonary Ridge, at some pcint on that historic eminence which will be of easy access by trolley cars. The purpose of the reunion is to ge as many of the survivors of this great battle as possible together on the ground and enjoy speeches by men who know something of the engage- ment from actual participation. The battle of Missionary Ridge was fought November 25, 1863, and was & signal victory for Union arms. After the battle of Chickamauga, Gen. Bragg’s army threw a line of entrench- ments around Chattanooga from the point of Lookout Mountain, on the west, to the mouth of Chickamauga creek, on the east, the purpose being to starve the Union trcops into sur- render. When, on November 23, Gen. Grant, who had taken charge of the fortunes of the Army of the Cumber- land, began active efforts to relieve his army, Gen. Bragg assembled his forces on Missionary Ridge, thus inviting a general engagement. Gen. Grant decided to storm the ridge and drive Gen. Bragg into Georgia. With that purpose in view he moved his army out of Chattanooga and confrented Bragg along the entire length of the ridge, his lines being an average of one mile west of the base of the ridge. Gen. Grant directed the movement of his trcops in person from his headquarters at Orchard Knob, and on the eveninz of November 25 order- ed an advance on the enemy's rifle pits at the foct of the ridge. It was necessary fuor the Union troops to march acrcss a comparatively open and level plain for a distance of a miie in the a deadly fire from the enemy's Without break or fal- ter, the force, as if on parade, advanced at 1he given signal to the at- tack.

One day a new butler ap- peared upon the scene. and Dinah’s mistress noticed that she took a great interest in the man. At last her mis- tress could stand her curiosity no longer and asked: *Dinab, do you man?" Dinah took another long and scruti- nizing look and then slowly and rem- iniscently replied: “Well, I' dunno, Miss Alice, but 1 think he was ma fust husband!"—Ev- erybody’s Magazine. know that new interesting points | NO SENSE IN EITHER. Two Ways of Telling a Story, One of Which Pointed a Moral. Two men entered a train at a small station out west and took seats facing an elderly gentleman. They fell to tell- ing huntingstories with great anima- tion and many, many oaths. Noticing that the old gentleman was an interested listener, one of the men spoke to him and asked whether he, too, was not a hunter, with a story or two worth hearing. The told gentleman thought he could tell one, and this is what he said: “One day I thought 1 would go hunt- ing, so 1l took my tin pan tinder box gun and went up into tin pan tinder box woods on the side of a tin pan tin- der box mountain, and I waited a tin pan tinder box long time; and then I saw a tin pan tinder box fine buck coming toward me, so I put my tin pan tinder box gun to my shoulder and fired. And that tin pan tinder box buck fell right in its tin pan tinder box tracks, and it was the finest tin pan tinder box buck I ever killed.” After a pause he said, “How do you like my story ?” “Oh, the story is all right, but I don’t see what all that ‘tin pan tinder box’ has to do with it.” “Well,” replied the old gentleman, “that is just my way of swearing.” “I don’t see much sense in swearing that way.”” said the other, with manj- fest disgust. To which the old gentleman respond- ed, “There is as much sense in my way of swearing as there is in yours, young man.”—Youth’s Companion. Wagner’s Music. By the study of \Waguer's master- pieces a glimpse of the eternal is bad, and once the vision of his truth fills the soul counterfeits are detected in- stinctively. ‘I'ne polyphony’ of Bach and the music of “Die Melstersinger” prove the spiritnal kinship of Wag- ner with the founder of modern music. A Beethoven symphony and the *Iris- tan und Isolde™ wmusic demonstrate the common genealogy of the composer from Bonn and the maker of iusic dramas, but listen to the Strauss music from “Salome™ when the proph- et is being murdered in the well and then hear the mighty tone structure of the last scene from *Gotterdaem- merung” ‘and observe that Strauss shrieks while Wagner chants.—San Francisco Call.
