V, {To be Continued | CHAPTER X. bar., On one occasion while the officers of the different companies were busy js- suing needed clothing to their men at an hour of the evening on the program for officers’ school, which on this oc- casion they missed, everyone of them was placed under arrest. A captain was disarmed and placed under arrest, before the whole regiment, while on regimental drill, for putting too much stress on a command to his company A comrade was the guard house for three days for standing side- ways on his beat when he saluted the colonel, while another was sent in for spitting while standing at © parade | rest” on dress parade, ete.

If you will take me at all, you will take me dead or wounded. Bo saying, I ran for the woods close by, nervously listening for the reports of their guns, for I knew that they had a right to shoot if I1did not halt. They did not shoot aud I was safe in the woods. I went on in continuous woods, miles beyond the Baltimore Pike, lay down in the leaves in a thicket. What would I do Dext? Would I go up to the toll gate on the Baltimore Pike and tell the old Confederate gentleman, whom I met a week before aud who had asked me t name the amount of money I would take to desert and go home, and name the smount ? He had told me that he was one of a committee that had plen- ty of money to send all boys who were tired of war to any point they wished to go In or beyond the jurisdiction of the U. 8. I quickly decided not to do this, but to go back and fight the great lieutenant as long as he kept up the persecution, and keep more than oven with him regardless of the ex- tremes it might lead to. I would stone his tent daring the night to show him that he had an enemy in the woods. I moved to a point in the house and ner twp, Mrs. Anna Weber, et. bar., et, al, to John H.

When I awoke it was night and very dark. I moved to the edge of the wood. There stood the tyrant's tent, and I opeved the battery. Every stone struck but I could not plerce the canvas. I went back into the woods, lay down in the leaves and slept. To ward morning I went to camp and waited for the next move, There was no more of it and the matter dropped. I never learned what it was all about. But I did know that I had not com. mitted any offense against the rules of camp, military discipline or etiquette, and I was determined not to take pun- ishment quietly till I deserved it. I never got into a guard house, After this episode the lieutenant was more considerate, This incident is given here as & sample episode of the war, to show that the American soldier will not quietly be scourged by the iron hand of tyranny, without cause, even in war, Is it not eruelty to the boys of the army and navy of the U. 8, that causes iy ; THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT, Gen. Beaver Requests that Names of all Boldiers be Sent in BELLEFONTE, PA, April 8, 1905, Mr. Evrron ; Inquiry has been made by some of our citizens as to whether or not the names of the soldiers who served iu the Revolutionary War and in the War of 1812 would be borne upon the bronze tablets on our soldiers’ monu- ment. That, of course, is intended. Although Centre county was not or ganized until 1800, there were men from Northumberland and other coun- Lies from which Centre was taken serv- ing in the Revolutionary War, and others came to reside in Centre county after the war was over. The name of every such man should be borne upon our monument, We will begin, of course, with Briga- dier General James Potter, one of the trusted general officers in Washing He I un- before the Revolution, but ton's army, derstand it, came here, as was not living here at the time hos tilities were carried on. He was then in Cumberland sounty, but lived here subsequently and had so much to do with the development of the county that his pame should, of course, ap- pear. Personally, I would be glad, if we could get a good picture of him, to have a bust of him upon the monu- ment, Two of men to jain our Veteran Club when It was organized were Mejor James Armour and Will mm Gill, soldiers of the War of 181 We recognized them as comrades with great gratification, and I am sure our monument would not be complete without their names and those of sll others like them who served in the War of 1812 Let me appeal to the people of Centre county to send the names of all Revo lutionary soldiers, of those of the War of 1812 and of those who served in the War with Mexico John I Curtin, so that may sap pear upon the plates which will constitute the most valusble part of our monument. the first oH to Gen, their bronze Heines It is understood also that the URIs of those who enlisted else w here, but who came to reside in Centre county sod made their the War, these in home here after also be Also the the Bpauish-American War. his is aud not who will carried on piates men who served to be a soldiers’ monument merely a monument to those War.

Work bas been commenced on the granite for the superstructure of the monument. This work will all be done at the quarries and the granite skipped all ready to pat up. It is expected that work on the founda tion for the monument will be begun In about a month and from then on the work will be pushed just as fast as possible to competion so that the monument can be dedicated in the early fall, ie ——— Land President of Allentown College.
