Pickett of the Confederate army
made his famous charge at Gettys-
burg. It has gone down as one of
tlie most brilliant events in all mil-
itary history.
The wife of the great general
who led that charge Is coming here
ihix summer as a chautauqua lect-
urer Mrs. LaSalle Corbell Pickett
is known to a great many readers
of newspapers as a bright, intelli-
gent woman, possessing, in a way.
the same indomitable spirit that so
characterized her illustrious hus-
band. . .
In the last few years she has
caused to be published a number of
the letters written by her soldier-
General Pickett—on the field of
hattl'j. They give as intimate pic-
tures o' 'he war Itself as anything
that has been brought to light in
all these fifty years. And there Is
a fine bit of romance all through
them.
Mrs. Pickett has written a siy-ies
of intimate Talks of Men o' the
Civil War that has been published
from one end of the country to the
other. .
She has lectured widely, bhe nas
received as high as $12,000 for a
series of ten lectures.
Her address at our chautauqua
will be a wonderful story of the
times, for she will tell of her meet-
ing and her acquantance with many
noted men of Civil War times.
She is one of the few remaining
distince figures of that period.
iah military authorities now Is Hit
procurement of an adequate sup
of knives and dirks. Most of th s
ou the market have proved too fl' .-
sy for the \ .clous usaue deman^-d
in trench fighting. It would seem as
if the hunting knife widely known
in this country, would amply fill the
requirements of the case. For a time
the French tried a knife devised for
a thrusting blow, held by a loop hau-
dle that passed around the knuckles,
but a few experiments developed
that a cutting edge and some length
of blade were necessary as well as a
sharp point. The dirks so far used
seem to be from six Inches to a foot
in length. The idea is traceable to
the Ghurkas of the Indian army
corps, whose kugris were employed
with savage efTect in the few chance?
the Indians have had at close order
fighting they prefer. It is suggested
that the dirks should be kept in
leather sheaths slung under the sol-
dier's armpits.
MISS TINCH AND FRIEND
MEET WITH ACCIDENT
Mrs. l.aSalle Corbell Pickett.
It was just, a little over half a
century since General George E.
FIOHTIXti AT t'LOSK QCARTKHS
One of the developments of the
trench warfare in northedn France
has been the employment of dirks as
weapons for offensive use at close
quarters. In narrow traverses and
parallells, where there is not room
lo swing a bayoneMipped rifle, the
tactics of our own Colonel Bowie
have been found well adapted to the
needs of the moment. There was at
first much objection to the idea
among British sodliers who did not
regard it as a "snorting proposi-
tion and stigmatized it as "assass-
ination." But this first feeling has
since been overcome. The problem
confronted by the French and Brit-
A horse driven by Miss Evelyn
Tinch and her rfiend, Mrs. Henley
of Blue Jacket, became scared at
the whistle of an engine and pass
ing automobile and ran into a post
on the railroad grounds at the depot,
Tuesday evening, throwing both the
ladies to the ground. Mrs. Henley
received some bumps and bruise*
but escaped more fortunately than
her companion, who went over the
dash head foremost, striking with a
thud sufficiently hard as to, for a
time, render her unconscious.
The last we heard from the victims
was to the effect that somewhat
sore they are getting along nicely
and no permanent injury will result.
Lame Back.
Lame back is usually due to rheu-
matism of the muscles of the back.
Hard working people are most like-
ly to suffer from It. Relief may t>e
had by massaging the back with

times a day. Tvv it. For sale at all

WORTH 100 TIMES THE PRICE
Was written on Ft. Scott season ticket number 359 two years ago, when turned
in the last night of the Chautauqua.
It is the sentiment expressed by all who are hungry after better things.
It expresses the ideal behind the building of the program.
And how w ell that has been carried out this year.
The Music ranges from the classical to the most popular. Pol Plancon,
Baritone, will be heard in two prelude recitals, selections from well known
operas and the like. Mrs. FiechtFs TYROLEAN ALPINE YODLERS, with
finely trained voices, will appear in costume, giving us the folk songs of the
Tyrolean shepherd people, the best of the native music.
The 11AWAIIANS led by W. S. Ellis, prepared to play anything from
Grand Opera to Ragtime, w ill devote most of their time to their native music.
The Columbia SingingOrchestra will present an entirely popular program
of vocal and instrumental music, with a strong patriotic flavor.
The purely entertaining numbers show as great variety.
The Proctor-VVatkins Sketch Artists, not one entertainer but a whole
company, headed by Jo Proctor and V. S. Watkins. An unusual number.
MRS. LA SALLE CORBELL PICKETT.
m*
;'
WELLS WATSON GINN'S presentation is intensely, absorbingly dra-
matic as he portrays character after character in following the fortunes of the
"Man From Home."
THE McCORDS will furnish preludes in lighter vein, some music, some
impersonation in make-up, but principally fun and relaxation.
With the lecture program, each one stands out distinct, different.
MRS. LASALLE CORBELL PICKETT, wife of the leader of the famous
charge at Gettysburg, tells a wonderful personal story of those stirring times.
CHAS. A. PAYNE, world traveler, master of description, aided by the
stereopticon, carries us away with him to other lands and other climes.
ORRIN CLIFFORD LESTER, analyst, discusses concretely and clearly
some of the big burning questions of the day.
DR. F. E. GORDON, inspiring, magnetic, gives us ideas and ideals for
%
making our lives bigger and better.
DR. GEO. GIBBINS YARROW, the living exponent of his subject "Th'
Culture of Personality."
And when the live days are o\er, you, too, will say "WORTH

TIMES THE PRICE. So remember that season ticket today for
