A rainy day had housed us up in the
cabin of Tcnncsscar, and about nine
o'clock in the morning man who
was addressed by our host rs Uncle
Billy came riding up through tho
steady pour on q mule. The animal
was placed in the stable, and, rs tho
two men entered the house, our host
observed:
"wcll, Uncle Billy, how'll you trade
mulcs?"
"Ob, bout three dollars tow boot"
was the answer.
They returned to the stables and
talked until noon. Then wo had din
ncr, and they talked until four o'clock.
Tho rain let up bit then, and we
went out to see cave, leaving them
talking mule. We returned at six and
they were still at it. We had supper,
and the interrupted conversation was
resumed and kept up until nine
o'clock. We went of to bed with
Uncle Billy saying:
Tell yc what I'll dew. I'll trade
fur three dollars tcw boot"
1t Numbered about midnight, and !
woke up and heard that mule talk still
going. At six o'clock / got up. Uncle
Billy was just riding away.
"Wcll, how did you come outr"
! asked of our host.
:" Beat him down to two dollars and

OF all tho love affairs in the
world mono can surpsas the true
love of a big boy for his mother.
1t is love pure and noble, honor
able in the highest degree to both.
l do not mean merely Il dutlful al
foctIon | mean q love which makes
Il boy gallant to his mother, saying
plainly to everybody that he is
fairly in love with her. Next to
the love of her husband, nothing
so crowns woman's life with hon
os as this second love, this dcvo-
ton of her son to her. And | never
knew boy to "turn out" badly
who began by falling in love with
his mother. Any man might fall
in love with frcsh-faccd girl and
may forget the worn and weary
wife. But the big boy who is u
lover of his mother at middle age
is true knight, who will love his
wife as much in the Scrc-lcaf au-
tumn as he did in the daisied
spring. There is nothing so beauti-
full and chivalrous as the love OF u
big boy for his mother.

HOW GEN. LEE GoURTED DEATH.

Mr.. Reagan gives a new tact IN
Gen. Lees history which is not
generally known at the north. He
said that towards the close of the
downfall of the confederate govern
ment there was very general I'M
preston among the high officials
OF the cOntedcracy that Gen. Ice
intended TO lose his lite on the
field of battle. This impression
was shared by the officers of Lees
army. Gen. Lee mover lost an or
portunIty Of placing himself in a
position of danger. Gen. Reagan
says he drove out from Rich
mond TO SEQ Lee on the
day the principal battle of
Cold HarbOr was fought. As he
came up near whero he could sec
Lees headquarters he saw tho
shells bursting continually around
his tent and blowing up the ground
in front of him. Some of the Off
GERS asked Mr.. Reagan to try and
persuade Gen. Lee TO move his
headquarters behind p1cco of TIM
Der near by. All felt that no was
exposing himself too much. Mr..
Reagan said to Gen. Lee: 81 do
not presume to advise any general
IN the midst ola battle, but are you
not exposing yourself too much !?
Ought you not TO 90 back nearer
your reserve" Gen. Lee SAID he
had no reserve. He had only one
line of men. He dld not dare to
shorten his line for fear it would
be turned, and did not dare to thin
it for fear it would be broken.
Gen. Lee evidently sought death
many times during the closing days
of tho war. That was the view of
the southern leaders then, and it is
still believed by many.

Weddings IN Franco are now
made POLITICALLY beautiful by pro-
fusion of flowers, not only in the
decoration of table and house. but
even OF the carriage that bears the
bride to church and away again to
the station, as she starts upon that
month of ennui and disappointment
misscallcd the honeymoon. 1t is
hard TO say whether the French or
the American plan is the most per-
nicious. The Frcnchman bears his
wife to some QUOT place, and for
one intCrminable month cxpatri-
atoshim from all home ties and en-
dcarmonts, and letters and tokons;
from tho outside world all ordina-
ry occupations and pleasure. 1t is
part of Francomania that American
young people aro learning to run
away on their wedding day as il
they were ashamed of themselves,
and must "htdc OUT until people
had forgotten and forgiven their
crime.
