"Women's fashions in 1914," he said, "are a revelation. Sculptors and painters don't need to study In the life class any more. Every fashionable woman is, as it were, a model— physically, I mean, not morally. "I met a leading lady in a very stunning gown of this new fashion—slashed, decollete, transparents, and all that sort. of' thing. I congratulated her on her appearance, and she said: 'I- just love these new gowns. They make me feel so girlish, Tom. Every time a man looks at me I blush.'

a careful examina-

VwJ tion of teeth and according to Comrade Henry J. Cassell, of this city, ther« Was an additional reason for this •:j. close examination during the days of the civil War, when muzzle loading guns were used by the soldiers. Comrade Cassell was one of four brothers who enlisted in the struggle that was to aboflsh slavery in the United States and he[was the only one of the four to ever return alive from that struggle, •i_ the others giving up their lives at the

Wilderness, before Gettysburg and at the second battle of Bull Hun. This Terre Haute soldier has spent much of his li{e in perilous occupations, as when h® returned from the army he [took uf the work of a coal miner and became •-$. veteran of that occupation.

First* Paper Cartridges.

About the-time of the-opening of the civil war, paper cartridges were invented for the old style muzzle loading guns,„.and..they were issued to the soldiers.

The cartridges were miade of a tough gra4e of water proof, paper, with the ends twisted under pressure and hardened, to prevent the lead from losing out in handling. Each soldier had to bite the end off from each cartridge before ramming it home in his musket, and then he had to cap the weapon and pick off a. rebel. In the heat of a fierce battle there was hardly time tq ask a comrade to bite off the ends of a few cartridges for you to use, so you had to depend on your own teeth, and when a number of rounds of ammunition had to be fired in rapid succession, the need of strong teeth was apparent.

The league hopes to make this much more than a league open meeting and to attract all those who are interested in the question of a new constitution from any standpoint.

Mrs. Jones is the national president of the Race Betterment league, founder of the "No Vote, No Tax" league, author of the beautiful woman's declaration of independence, originator of the woman's good road movement In Illinois and a prominent member of Mie National Suffrage association's

was one of the principal articles of diet for the boys on many occasions, and in order to grind this up tne teeth were again called into service.

When war was declared between the north and the /south, Comrade Cassell was 19 years old. Patriotism ran high In the Cassell family, and he and his three brothers responded to the call for volunteers at once. All four of the brothers were assigned to Company A, Seventeenth Illinois volunteer infantry, and they followed their regimental flag through some of the fiercest fighting of the awful struggle. History shows that the Seventeenth Illinois was at the front in many a fierce fight.

Only One Returned.

At the close of the war Comrade Henry Cassell was the only one of the four brothers to return to Terre Haute. One of them had fallen at Gettysburg, shot through the heart by a confederate bullet, and was found by our hero after a long search in the dusk among the piles of dead and dying on the battlefield after the second day's fighting, as the cost of General Lee's defeat. The body was sent to Terre Haute for burial, and now rests at Highland Lawn cemetery. During the fighting in the Wilderness another brother fell at Comrade Cassell's side, but in the smoke and confusion ot the battle he was not missed until after the battle, and a search during the night failed to locate him. Cohirade Cassell is of the opnion that this brother was badly wounded, but managed to crawl out of the thick of the struggle and then died when no help reached him. The third brother met a similar fate at the second battle of Bull Run, and likewise his body was never recovered. Comrade Cassell was scarred by confederate bullets himself, five times, but he always managed to escape with his life.

It was in the first engagement of

speakers' bureau. On May 2, National amendment day, a big Woman's parade was held in St. Paul, and Mrs. Jones was the speaker of the day. She addressed an audience of about five thousand and the papers were unusually enthusiastic in their comments. She received considerable national attention when she was appointed by Postmaster General Burleson, of the national democratic committee, to stump the states of Idaho and Washington for Wilson. Although the idea In arranging to have Mrs. Jones talk in those states was that she might reach the women voters, it was found that she had an equal amount of influence with the men. She is now recognized everywhere as one of the

The military maneuvered. All aft ernoon the attackers had attacked and the defenders defended, with conspicuous lack of incident or bravery. Operations were beginning to drag when the white flag went up.

The officer in command of the attackers stared in amazement. "A flag of truce," he exclaimed. "What do they want?"

The sergeant-major endeavored to cover up a smile. "They say, sir," he reported, "that as it's tea time they'd like to exchange a couple o' privates for a can of condensed milk, if you can afford it!"

Fred Snapp naturally thinks highly of the 1914 girl, having helped to exploit her in the recent style show. "With her four-ounce frocks and her two-ounce swimming suits," Mr. Snapp said, "the 1914 girl, beautiful as a goddess and athletic as a sophomore, is the most attractive creature. No wonder she marries oft so young: and so well. "I heard an anecdote about a 1914 girl the other day. "At a dinner dance, after a maxlxe, this girl's partner, a bespectacled young man, said to her: 'Let

public speaking. Members of the league feel that they have been in great luck to get so fine a speaker for their meeting and hope that a large audience of men and women will hear her.

No festivity of any sort has been arranged in connection with the meeting, as she will not arrive until late in the afternoon, but at the close of the meeting, an Informal social session will be held, when everyone will be given an opportunity to meet Mrs. Jones.

The meeting which was to have been held at the home of Mrs. J}. D. Morgan in West Terre Haute next Friday evening has been postponed on account of a political meeting. Mr. Kingsley, of Indianapolis, will give a speech and will talk at length on the constitutional convention question. The women are so anxious to hear what he has to sjay that they will put oft their own meet ing until the following Friday. At that time a number of members of the Terre Haute league will go over to West Terre Haute, and it is the in tention to form a new franchise league. A number of the most prominent women of West Terre Haute have expressed their intention to join a suf frage league as soon as one Is started, and it is believed that a large organization can be formed there.

Mrs. R. E. Moore, Mrs. Juliet Strouse and Mrs. McCord, of Rockville, were guests of Mrs. Katherine Isbell Wednesday. Mrs. Moore talked of suffrage plans for the near future, and reported that the Rockville league was planning to do propaganda work for the constitutional convention during the carnival to be held there the second half of this week. She borrowed the voiceless speeches of the Terre Haute league and went home well supplied with literature.

The W. C. T. U. state convention now in session at Brazil is being made the occasion of a quantity of good constitutional convention work. Scarcely a session has gone by thus far without a strong plea being made for the convention. Alonday afternoon has been set aside as franchise institute to oe followed by a banquet at the Masonic hall. A number of local suffragists plan to attend that session.

The union batteries were located in the center of the circle formed by the union lines and the Seventeenth Illinois was back of it acting as a support The arrival of reinforcements spurred the confederates into making the first charge and General Pickett's famous command swung into action only to be cut to pieces. The union men were desperately in earnest from the very opening of the battle.

The tires were stripped frorri the cannon wheels and cut into slugs to! be used for loading the cannons, chains, were torn from the traces of the mule harnesses and rammed into the big guns, and at the crisis even stones and rocks were used as ammunition. General Pickett started his charfe before the batteries opened up and the eifefct of the first fire was terrible.'-

Use of Chain Shot.

The chains spread out to their full length and mowed down the advancing rebels, cutting swaths, three and four men deep. General Pickett made a noble fight feirt the artillery fire cut his command to pieces, and the infantry finished the work of destruction so completely-that only 65 men were left to follow him, when at last he was compelled to retreat from the neia.

The entire line was engaged during this battle and a spirit of -win or die prevailed throughout the fighting. The lines waved backward and forward, now retreating to catch their breath andagain rushing into the conflict, now losing a little ground and now regaining it again. At last night fell and the hostilities ceased.

The men were driven to frenzy by the sight of their dead comrades who often lay under their very feet. Tt.waf

At night the two lines parted and camp fires were lighted. On® young soldier counted IS bullet holes in his clothing and bantered Comrade Cassell into counting the holes in His. An inspection showed that there were 25 In his, but during the heat ,of the battle he had never noticed it. 'Friendly Dead Line.

Purlng the night the picket lines'of the two armies were within a few feet of each other, and a dead line was drawn. After the awful day the pickets met as brothers, at first laughing and talking together, and later playing cards, but all of this time the dead line was between them, and the saddle of a dead trooper was placed on the line to serve as a/table. Everything was friendly, and they played cards for tobacco and nicknacks, but if a man crossed the dead line ha wa3 grabbed and made a prisoner of war. It seemed Impossible that these coald be the Same men who had fought each other so bitterly during the day.
