The Union General, Meade, had established his left centre on Cemetery Ridge. The main body of Lee's army was massed on and around Seminary Hill, less than a mile to the west, The open ground between was @ veritable Valley of Death. Across this open ground, on July §, Lee hurled 14,000 men, under Gen- orale Pickett and Pettigrew, for a charge upon his opponents’ strongest position. This is no place nor time to rehash the old question as to whether Pickett's charge was wisely planned and badly supported, or whether it was a despe: last resort of the checkmated Lee, To prepare for it, Lee turned a 126-eun battery against Cemetery Ridge. The Federals replied with an eighty-five-gun battery. For two hours @ murderous artillery duel was waged. Finally, to cool their red-hot cannon, the Union batteries slackened fire. This was Lee's signal to launch Pickett’s 14,000 men at Cemetery Ridxe. Scarce had the 14,000 started across the cleared space when the Union batteries opened fire on them. From the fortified hillock of Round Top « deadly cross-fire was directed against the charging Confederates. Pickett and his inen rushed on, unhindered by the hail of artillery that snowed down hundreds of them. Then they came within range of the Union infantry, And a riffle fusillade tore into their fast-thinning rankp The Southern General, Armistead, in the forefront of the attack, broke through the Union line with about 100 men and seized a cannon, A minute later he was killed, and all his hundred followers were down. Up against the Union line dashed -Pickett’s charge—only to reel back beaten and shattered. Pickett was the only general officer in all that assault who came out of it alive.

The opening of school is next week, For several hours a day the children are away from the home precinct, From now on it should be the daily duty of every mother to caution the children as to the pitfalls that might be in their way. Reason it out; explain, Most cbil- dren when they thoroughly under- stand the dangers are able to recognize them when they come, and thus are more prepared to meet them. Of course woman ie worried these days. Some dear one has gone away to fight; some one who haa been close to her in the family circle, War forever worries woman. Yet, my dear mother, if as Mr. Lewis says, your thinking too much of those who have gone to the front has jeopardized the safety of the little ones around you, ft 1s high time that you turn your interest in their direc- tion, Of course it's hard, But certainly your loved ones who have gone to the war are ntill safe and well cared for by Uncle Sam, As yet they are not in the actual region of danger.
