He was a second lieutenant at 17 and a first lieutenant at 18. Mr. Dunham was born In Fairhaven in 1846, and at the outbreak of the war was attending high school. In August, 1862, the federal mustering officer, in looking over the Third Massachusetts regiment, saw a boy, whom he greeted abruptly with, How old are you, kid?" was the reply. Efighteen, You're a well, it amounted to a deliberate falsifier. But he enrolled George Dunham as a drummer. The young drummers impetuous nature did not agree with the inactive life of a musician.

Seven days from s the time the quota was complete in September, 1863, it was on the firing line in the Wilderness under Gen. Grant. From this time until the end of the war, young Dunham was not out of hearing of whistling bullets.

ANNMARY BROWN MEMORIAL OPENED AT PROVIDENCEE, Erected by Gen. Rush Commemoration of Contains Relics of ary and Civil R. . C. Hawkens in His Wife Revolution- Wars. There has recently been opened at Providence, R. I., a new museum of a very interesting type. It Is the Anninary Brown memorial, erected by Gen. Rush C. Hawkins in commemoration of his wife. In a letter on the building Gen. Hawkins has said, in This memorial has been part: brought into existence for the purpose of honoring and perpetuating the memory of a beloved wife and woman. Annmary Brown belonged to a family which, since its founder came to the state of Rhode Island, in 1638, has been notable for the untarnished citizenship of its members and for what It has done to promote the higher interests of the community and of civilization. The creation of the memorial has been in part actuated by a sincere regard for the public esteem of the family, and by the desire to have her name recorded and remembered with the names of those whose generous deeds in past time are a part of the history of the community. But it is primarily a personal memorial. It records the love of its founder for the memory of a noble woman the most truly refined, upright, unselfish 'and beautiful character that he has ever known. The gift for the use of the people of Providence is free and unencumbered, and is made entirely without reservations, except so far as safety and secure perpetuation require. The granite building is of simple and stately design. The inferior is divided into several rooms or galleries, and at the east end bronze doors give entrance to the mausoleum whose presence profoundly emphasizes the memorial character of the edifice. The collection placed by Gen. Hawkins in the museum consists of paintings by old and modern masters, rare editions of old books, genealogical records of the Brown and Hawkins families and memorabilia of both. To the right of the entrance hall is the room in Come Out and Entertain de Birds. vitation; yet perhaps the comfort of the home provided by the government for Its disalled veterans adds Its own suggestion of attractiveness to a mili, tary life.

My method of mixing is to sift the baking powder with the flour. I then add the butter, which must previously have been cut into small pieces, and follow with the sugar and salt. I mix all these ingredients together thoroughly with the hands, rubbing the butter well into the flour, after which I add the milk. I then mix as lightly and handle as little as possible.

Sprinkle generously with sugar, and roll as if ; then cut In slices, making a each about an inch thick, and bake in a pan in a hot oven for about an hour. 3. Raisin Loaf.
