moyed from its temporary resting
place at Washington one day last
week, to the nortuary chapel erected
by Mrs. Logan at the soldiers home.
For two years detachment of United
States soldiers have guarded the body,
but this protection is no longer con-

TENDER term of court in Utah of adul-
terry and sentenced to eight months

The Richmond Dispatch regrets that
the granite for the monument to Rob-
ert f. Lee in that city came from
Maine. 1t was bought in Maine, per-
haps, because it could be obtained
cheaper there than in Virginia. State
lines have very little to do with the
fame of Robert Z. Lee. His life is a
goodly heritage to the whole country.
His name will be cherished and hon
ored wherever manly character and
Christian virtues receive recognition
among men. 1t makes no difference
where the granite for his monument
came from.-Mdcon lGa.3 Telegraph.
The German doctors are exhorting
parents to provide young girls be-
tween the ages of II and Id with KNAPP
sacks for carrying their school books,
as the tendency of carrying them I'M
der the arm or in portfolios or bags
hung from the arm is to distort their
figures. In many parts of Germany
this equipment is already In use, end
to the unaccustomed eye of the stran-
ger nothing is more cOmieal than to
suddenly come upon a crowd OF little
girls trooping out of school, each pro-
vided with a knapsack for the march.
The next funniest thing to be seen
among school children on the CONT
nent is the long pipe or the bilious
cigarette Of the diminntiFe Dutch boy.
Adam Forepaugh has presented the
city of Philadelphia with his big eIe-
plant, Bolivar, as a Christmas pre-
sent for the geological garden. He
decided that he would not take Boil
var on the road again because he was
a great deal of bother last season to
load and unload on the cars on &C
count of his enormous weight and
size. Superintendent Brown of the
garden says; BOLIVAR is
the best built elephant [ ever saw.
Jumbo was not so we'll shaped; he
was all legs and comparatively little
body. While Jumbo was taller than
Bolivar is, still Jumbo didn't begin TO
measure Is feet, as was claimed, and
Bolivar weighed more than half ton
