A FLORAL DETECTIVE OF Lone
AGo.-In early times the Dutch
farmers of the up river farms of
New York had an ingenious way
of recovering pocket knives that
might have been dropped or mis-
laid while plowing or gardening was
going on. Cutlery was not as cheap
then and abundant as in these days;
SO the farmers took the thrifty pre-
caution of keeping two or three
sunflower seeds in their knife han
dies. Then if the knives fell upon
broken ground and could not be
readily found, the owners would
wait until the seeds sprouted, and
an isolated sunflower stalk or bios
som in field or patch would signal
ize the probability of a missing ar
ticle's being at its root. True, the
owner did not always realize the re-
suit of the scheme, because a pass
ing boy who understood the token
often ''got there" before the plant

ONE ON FITZHUGH LEE.-Apro-
pos of Lee of Virginia, a story which
General Fitzhugh Lee told on HIM
self several years ago is a good illus
tration of the love the Confederate
soldiers bore General Robert L. Lee.
AS was well known, General Fitz-
hugh Lee was at the head of the
cavalry, who were much env;ed by
the infantry men, who had to walk
through the mud and dust.
\ After General Robert L. Lee had
Surrendered, General Fitzhugh Lee
Lob away from Appomattox. While
riding tAropgh a lane he met an
old North Carolina Soldier
lilo, there = cried General Lee.
sWhere are you going?'
sI'ye been off on fnrlough. and
am now going back to join General
Bob Lee, replied the old soldier.
You needn't go back, but can
throw your gun away and return
home, for Lees surrendered.
Lees surrendered.
That's what said,' replied Gen
eral Lee.
1T must have been that id Fitz
Lee. Them he cried. Bob Lee
would never surrender and the
soldier put on a look of contempt
and walked on.

pared a memorandum. At the
head of the list was, "Don't forget
your dinner" and to make doubly
sure she finished with the same ad-
monition. Arriving in the city,
thepaper was pulled from his pocket.
Seeing the dinner notice he drop
ped in restaurant and filled up.
Each article was marked off the list
as purchased, until he reached the
bottom, when "Get your dinner"
