A CASE OF DISCRETION.

The following inciGent was related
by General c. A. Battle, of Alabama,
in speech delivered a few years ago at
Tuscumbia, Ala:
"During the winter Of 1923 it was
my fortune to be president Of one the
court-martial of the Army Of Northern
Virginia. One bleak December morn
ing while the snow covered the ground
and the winds howled around our camp,
/ left my bivouac fire to attend the ses-
sions of the court. Winding for miles
along uncertain paths, at length ar
rived at the court ground at Round Oak
Church. Day after day it had been our
duty to try the gallant soldiers Of that
army charged with violations of mill
tary laws; bnt never had I on any pre-
vious occasion been greeted by such
anxious spectators as on that morning
of the court. Case after case was dis
posed of, and at length the case of "The
Confederate States VS.. Edward Cooper"
was called-charge, desertion. \ low
murmur rose spontaneously from the
battle-scarred spectators as young ar
tilleryman rose from the prisoners
bench, and, in response to the question,
"Guilty or not guilty?" answered not
guilty" The Judge-Advocate was
proceeding to open the prosecution
when the court observing that the pris-
oner was unattended by counsel inter
posed and inquired Of the accused,

Here are two letters that were writ
ten by two boys that became great and
good men. Now, as we have but recent.
ly commemorated the anniversary OF
our Nations birth, 1t is pleasant to look
back to the days when those two great
patriots were only boys like the rest OF
us.
The first letter Is from Richard Henry
Lee, who spoke so boldly and acted SO
bravely for our country In the time OF
her great peril and need:
"Pa brought me two pretty books full
of pictures he got them In Alexandria
they have pictures of dogs aud cats aud
tigers and elefants and ever so many
pretty things cousin bids me send you
one of them il has picture Of an Gle.
fant and little indian boy on his back
like uncles JOS sam pa says II learn
my tasks good he will let uncle 10 bring
me to see you will you ask your ma to
let YOU come TO see me.
RICHARD HENRY LEE."
To this letter Washington sent the
following reply:
"Dear Dickey thank you very much
for the pretty picture book you gave
me. Sam asked me 10 show him the
pictures aud ! showed him all the pic
lures in il; and | read to him how the
tame elephant took care of the masters

al am going TO get whip top soon,
and you may see IL and whip it,"
In less than half century after writ
ing this child-lctter, this same George
Washington stood before a vast assem-
blagc of people, and, with his hand upon
the Bible, took the oath as tho first Pres
! ident OF the United States.
"Long live George Washington, Pres
dent Of the United States" shouted
one who stood near, and the people
caught up and repeated the shout. But
the first person to clasp Washlngton's
hand was his lifelong friend, Richard
Henry Lee.

Smallest Watch In the World.

A small, gold penholder, resting In
rich velvet case, lay on jewelers.

the holder was shaped like an elongated
cube, and was an inch long. A faint
musical ticking that issued from IL at

jeweler lifted the holder from the case,

watch dial, l-l6th OF an inch in diameter,

almost as small. One indicates the day,
and the other the month Of the year.

one Of its kind In the world. IL took

they would work accurately. IL has

The works OF The watch were so that
they fitted lengthwise In tho holder.
The main spring was an elongated coil
Of steel fitted TO the wheels by tiny
chain, and worked like an old-fashioDod
clock weight. The works were wound
by means Of little screw OF gold on
the under side Of the handle. A gold
pen was fitted In the holder, and the
jcweler wrote with it without disturb
