General Robert E. Lee. the Confederate
commander in the civil war, was almost
idolized by his soldiers. A curious Incl
dent illustrating both the love of the men
and Lees courtesy toward them is related
by Confederate veteran.
Not long after the surrender, when ru-
mors were abroad that Lee was likely to be
executed for treason, the general was liv-
ing at his home in Richmond, One day a
Confederate soldier In the ragged remnants
of butternut uniforE me up to General
Lee as he sat on the VI, ida Of his house
and saluted very respectfully. The general
saluted in return and asked the man what
he wanted.
General, /" said he, there's so more Of us
fellows round the corner"
''Indeedi Why don't they come up to the
house2"
"Too ragged, general. They're raggeder'n
me. Now, I'll tell you what we're after,
general. We hear you're to be tried for
treason. Now, we've got mountain hol-
low way up there, where nobody can't get.
There's right smart of good land in it,
and If you'll come along we'll work the
land for you and take good care of you, and
you shan't never suffer wantr'
Lee was much affected. de called the
rest Of the ragged veterans into the house.
and while he told them that 1t would not
be proper for him TO hide 10 the mountains
or to seek to escape in any way from what
ever might befall him he was very grateful
TO them for their offer.
They went sadly back to their mountain
hollow, but soon afterward understood
that they were free to take up the ordinary
.employments of life among their fellows
and that none were to die or lose their lib
erty for their part in the war.-Youth's

Tho Victorian bouquet.

The Victorian bouquet is very popu-
lar way of arranging flowers that are to
be carried at weddings. The band holds
the stems Of the flowers, which fall,
some below and some above the portion
held in the hand. The ribbon, which is
usually in contrast with the dress, is
about or more inches wide. There are
two outstanding loops that form sort
of background to the loosely arranged
blossoms at the upper end, and there
are corresponding loops below. The
streamers or ends, to be quite correct,
should fall to the feet.

A farmer of our acquaintance was ask

not sell many, only few in the early fall
when they we're scarce and sold at good
prices. After they were declined in price

pigs. poultry, sheep and mich cows than
he could by selling On good land it is
easy to grow 1000 to 1900 bushels per
acre. The leaf shows plainly when the
plants first come up, thus making it easy
to take care of them In rows I-2 feet
apart, most of the work can be done with
the cultivator. Late in the season the
beet tops meet over the interval, thus
shutting out weed growth. The broad
leaves get great deal of carbon from the
air. thus making the crop exhaustive
Beets need a deep soil, but rather to have
plenty OF water than fertility.
