The first monument erected Shy wo-
men to a woman" was that to Mary.
the mother of Washington. Now the
time has come when every southern
woman must feel that the second so
erected should be to the memory ofth
mother oil Robert Edward Lee, Vir.
ginia's noble chieftain.
OF his mother General Lee once said
"All l am owe to my mother And
her grandson, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
writes of her, ~ have always heard
that to her noble influence the perfect
formation of Gen Lees character was
DUE"
Thus to Anne Carter Lee the south
owes her illustrious leader, whose
brave deeds, honorable record aud no.
BILE patriotism won for him undying
fame and honor, and the love and dc.
votion ola grateful Confederacy.
The women Of Alexandra, prompted
by a desire to commemorate the vr-
tues of the mother of Robert E. Lee,
propose to erect, 10 that city, monu.
ment to her memory.
1t was in Alexandria, in the beauti.
ful yard of old Christ Church, of which
be was at that time vestryman, and
10 which Gen. Washington had, in
earlier days, occupied similar posi-.
tior, that Gen. Lee announced his de-
termition to cast his lot with his native
State in the pending conflict, stating
his purpose to leave next day to join
the army of the Confederacy, and of
fer his sword in defence of his native
land."*
No better place could be selected for
the erection of such monument. Her
home was here; she was member OF
the old church, and but few miles oil
her remains lie buried. Will it not
afford pleasure to our sisters OF the
South to unite with US in securing
fund to enable US to raise shaft to the
memory of Anne Lee? Weare so fully
assured of your sympathy and equal
interest, that in making this appeal for
your help and cooperation, We are
satisfied we shall not ask in vain.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.-George Dent.
farmer of Mattawoman, Prince
Georges county, Md, was found dead
yesterday morning in secluded spot
on his farm, his head in the waters Of q
little creek. Dent was the owner of a
fine farm in Mattawoman and had it
we'll stocked with cattle and horses.
The cause of Dents sudden death was
q topic of much discussion. No marks
of violence were found upon his body,
and it is supposed that death was due
to heart disease. 1t is also thought
likely that he may have fallen in a fit
while crossing the stream and was
drowned. Dent Was sixty years old.
He leaves a wife and several grown
children.

emphatic condemnation of ore of the

why they should only work six hours
on Saturdays is what no body, not even

Old Christmas Customs.

One custom that has come to us from

ings ON Christmas eve. Little children are
taught that St. Nicholas brings in gifts to
them through closed windows, and 1t is
supposed this custom started from a tradi-
ton that St. Nicholas used to throw purses
of money in through the windows of poor
maidens, so that they might have marriage
portions.

beautiful moonlight Christmas eve an
Indian, who was softly creeping along on

THE CHRISTMAS HOLLY.


An Appropriate Decoration For This Sea-
son of Rejoicing.
A picturesque shrub especially useful at
this time of the year is the holly, with its
tough and shining spinous leaves and Its
pretty little, full, round berries. 1t is the
only plant appropriate to this happy period
that relieves the dead green and monoto
nous white of the woodworking plants and
vines supposed to belong to Christmas and
the days that follow Epiphany. Like the
mistletoe most of the holly exposed for
sale in American marts comes from Great
Britain, although some species of the plant
grow in the southern states.
The commercial holly, however, is out
in Scotland and sent here in beSs.eh st rs
most valuable to work up in combiration
with laurel, ivy and mistletoe into
wreaths, anchors, stars, crowns and other
ecclesiastical Designs while for running
decorations--that is, long festoons and
great sweeps of green-a few of the bright
red berries wound in at regular intervals
heighten the effect and relieve the eye.
The favorite manner of arranging holly
for sale is to make it up into some one OF
the numerous designs appropriate to the
day and the season, and thus most of the
plant offered this year is fashioned. Holly
is not so expensive as the mistletoe and is
more hardy and lasting. 1t has no tradi-
ton connected with it, however, and thus
loses its sentimental value. But to the
decorator, the artist, the florist and the
dealer it is one of the BEST most ornate
and suggestive plants for use at home or
in public places that can be selected at this
season.-Chicago Times.
