"Rosie’s” version of his experience in
Bellefonte on Decoration Day:—"Yes sir,
gentlemen ! I took the train at Lemont, and
when I arrived at Bellefonte, I was surprised
at the large concourse of people that had
fathered there. The whole crowd seemed to
©
have collected about the station. However, I
pushed boldly through the crowd and almost
ran into a man who was yelling at the top of
his voice: ‘ Har, you are, now; I’ll break
your jaw off.’ You bet I steered clear of
him. I next stopped and asked a man if he
could direct me to the nearest peanut store.
He pointed me out the place, and I struck
out for it at once. I tell you, gentlemen,
when I started for Bellefonte I intended hav
ing a big time, so I bought a whole quart of
peanuts, and started up street, eating them.
I had my uniform on, therefore the people
knew I was from the college, so I seemed to
attract quite a lot of attention. The little
boys seemed to think me a perfect hero. I

set up the peanuts to them, and they wanted
to show me all over town. I told them I had
come to see the parade, and didn’t come to
see the town. Well, in the afternoon I got
a good position where I could view the whole
parade. About three o’clock they got in line,
and then they started, big guns, soldiers, fire
men, veterans, citizens, men, woman and
children. It was a grand sight. But the
funniest thing I saw, was a man who was
walking in front of one of the bands. He
had on a red pair of pants, an embroidered
coat, and a hat with two things sticking out,
one behind and one before, and a brass spike
sticking up in the middle. The hat looked
just like the kind the Romans used to wear.
He carried a great large cane with tassels,
on, and a big brass knob on the end ; and as
he walked along, he would push it up and
down, twirl it around, and throw it up and
catch it, just as if he was trying to sho\Jv off,
I said to a fellow next to me, that I would
bet that the fellow carrying that big cane was
a dude, and he just laughed. You should
have just seen him, how he kept time, march
ing and throwing that big cane around. It
looked funny, though, to see him, for he
didn’t have any horn to blow, or seem to.
make any music. You don’t see those kind
of fellows where I came from. There, every
man blows a horn or beats a drum ; and they
don’t have any dudes walking in front of them.
No sir-ee!” Here the bell rang for class,
and Rosie had to drop his narrative,
