I knew what wha t tto t to say next said the veteran when ho he related the Incident But I bought her flags FIGHTING PHIL KEAH KEARNEY EY So that soldierly legion i is 15 still on Its Journey journey- T i oct iiii r- r rit it K i to j Taws a a. tiny doy when whon tl In or cf Berry owl T 1 Against t twenty thousand he lie rallied tho the Held field Where hero tho the red volleys poured where the

Kearney's along along- the whole line How h he strode his brown steed sll How we wc saw his blade brighten In the one ono hand still left left and and the tho reins In ills his teeth How ho lie

length of or his legion And the word Is still Forward along tho the whole line One of the unexpected d features of ot the Encampment Is the tho purchase of Jr and p n h hv u M A I Ip IL n umber number of ot them were looking at a display of at mens men's suits In one of or the windows and remarking on the price just just a a. little better than they could do In Chicago And while the they looked one of ot their comrades walked out ot of the place In a new suit ho had just Ju-jl bought And this is not a fairy stor story for tor the tickling of at merchants either It hap hap- And It Is likely to be repeated a good man many times during the week for tor many line lino of goods are arc cheaper p. p here than in Eastern cities How do you make that out 7 Some of ot the visitors have hare so many badges they really need more room to hang them At first sight It might look hook a lithe HUe like vanity But If It you ou examine examine examine ex ex- ex- ex amine closely closely and and they will

It Is doubtful if It there is a belle ettel delegation all things thinKS considered rc than Maryland that which comes from And to the man who ha has not visited encampments It Is rather surprising Identified with the The state was so of ot war time that It has hall ear early struggles of ot the been regarded as really reaBy a n. part the thc South though South though It was as never nover In
