A WAB SKETCH.
I write this little sketch at the
request of some friends: It was in
the spring of ’61, in April, I was
living with my aunt in Potter coun
ty, western Pennsylvania.
On the
12th of that month Sumpter was
fired on and forced to surrender
nni .Lincoln called for troops.
As
I say I was living with my aunt
who had two girls near my own age,
both school teachers. There was
scarcely any (lags in country homes.
One cold not go to a store and buy
Hags; they were not kept on sale.
The girls and myself decided that
we must have a flag on this dav.
My brother had come over to see
me to talk about war.
Both of us
were under age, yet we would go to
war.
But the flag—where to get
the materinl.
It was the style at
that time for young men to wear
colored oversliirtK,
I had a bine
one with wide color.
My brother
had a red one of the same desigq.
I said I would give my shirt; my
brother made the same offer. The
girls not to be out done volunteer
ed a skirt—a white one—so we had
red, white and blue. The aunt and
the girls, Emma and Mary Drake,
went to work to construct the flag,
and in a few hours the flag was
done, created by loyal hearts.
It
wns a good sized, beautiful flag. My
brother got a flagstaff, fastened the
flag to it, took it to the gable end
of the house facing the road, and
nailed it there, and we took off our
hats and bonnets, raised our bands
and swore allegiance to Uncle Sam
and to defend that flag.
In a few
days Col. TbomaB L. Kane called a
war meeting, and young meu out of
the Pinery responed and met at the
court house at Coudonsport. Here
Colonel Kane talked to ub of our
country and loyalty; the crime of
treason and a terrible war.
When
he had done 300 of us young men
came forward and wrote our names,
swore we would go down to Dixie
and stay until the finish.
Each of
these young men was supposed to
be a marksman and good hunter.
The badge of the regiment was ?,
buck’s tail worn on the hat, which
afterwards made the regiment fam
ous.
One thousand men were
raised to form this regiment from
the wilds of Pennsylvania in the
pine country.
They were from
Cleerfield, McKane,
Potter and
Crawford counties, and the only
regiment of the kind.
They were
also called the First Pennsylvania
Rifles. They enlisted about April
21, 1861. Their record is a part of
the histojy of the United States.
About that flag my cousins had
made on the 15th day of July, 1865.
On my return home from war, pass
ing the old farm house, there was
the flsgstaff and a few stripes of
faded blue and red and white. The
flag had a stoyv sacred to me.
In
the great crowd in San Francisco
during the
encampment, down
about the Palace Hotel where so
many lost comrades were found, 1
stood one morning talking with a
comrade about the bloody battle of
Antietam.
A lady, trying to pass
saw my Pennsylvania badge, said,
‘ Here is a soldier from Pennsylvan
ia.”
I looked toward her. then
instantly, as she gazed at me, she
said: “ Is not this Henry Nichols?”
“ Yes,” I said, who are t o u ? ” Age
had crept npon her as well ns up
on myself In a moment I saw it
was my cousin, she who had given
her skirt on that long away April
day to help make the flag.
Who
can tell the joy of auch a meeting.
Although thirty-three years had
passed since I last saw her. memory
was as fresh aq of yesterday. With
la x le s t Argued in Salem Today.
The test case, to determine
the question whether there can be
a valid levy of the taxes of 1903,
is being argued this afternoon be
fore the supreme court at Salem.
Judge C. H. Carey represents
Multnomab county, contendiug
that the levy will be valid, wbile
the opposite yiew is advocated by
S. B. Linthicum. The arguments
will be concluded this afternoon
and it is expected that a decision
will be rendered soon
Suould the supreme court decide
that there can be no valid levy of
this year’s taxes it will then devolve
upon Governor Chambelaiu to de
termine whether he will call au ex
tra sessiou of the legislature to
correct the defective law.
The governor is now iu the East
and is not expected to return until
about November 1. He hns al
ready expressed himself as exceed
ingly reluctant to put the state to
the extra session, but if confronted
by the alternative of leaving the
state and every city, county and
school district without income for
a year, it is generally believed that
he would call the legislature to
gether.
The conditione imposes co limit
upon the length of a regular ses
sion, although members are re
stricted to 40 days’ pay, but it is
expressly provided that special
sessions shall not exceed 20 days.
A very few days would suffice to
amend the tax law, if no other busi
ness were taken up, bat the legis
lators will be at liberty to pass any
other measures they may see fit.
The work of the special session
cannot be restricted to the matter
for which it is called together.—
