ONE OF THE YOUNG LEES.

1t is pleasant to know that there is a
young cadet of the Lee family who may
rise in the army to shed lustre on the
old name so dear to every southern
heart. George Mason Lee, son of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, will soon enter West
Point
Young Lee is 10 and has served two
years and a half In the Virginia Military
institute at Lexington, where he stood
high in all of his classes and left with
the rank of color sergeant. He now en-
ters the National Military academy, from
which three of his kinsmen were gradu-
ated with high honors. His grand uncle
Gen. r. e. Lee, the commander-in-chief
of the Confederate army, graduated in
1928 second in class in which were
some of the most distinguished officers on
either side during the civil war. He rose
to the rank of lieutenant colonel. which
rank he held at the time of the outbreak
of the civil war.
Gen. G. w. C. Lee, eldest son of the
famous. Confederate chieftain, gradu-
ated in 1854 at the head of his class and
was sent to Europe in the engineer corps.
Young Lees father rose to the rank of
captain in the regular army and won
high distinction in the war with the In
dams in the northwest. Like his uncle,
Fitzhugh Lee, he promptly resigned his
commission at the breaking out of the
war and rendered his sword to his native
state. During the. war he rose to the
rank of major general of cavalry and
was regarded as one of the most brilliant
officers in that arm of the service.
Mason inherits-the natural military
qualities of his father, and will, no doubt,
win distinction in his chosen profession.
He has passed a highly creditable exam
nation and is permitted to enter West
Point without being subjected to anoth-
err, as is usually the case.

FRIENDSHIP.

To what may we liken friendship,
How may it be defined,
That unseen, strong emotion
That moves the human mind?
That power that groweth, Influenced
BY kindly deeds the while,
That fadeless flower nouriShed
BY the sunshine of a smile.
A golden chain is friendship,
That bindeth heart to heart, W
Untarnished and unsevered Ed
While varied years depart. E
No tongue it's power declareth,
No pen can 1t descry,
1t spans times narrow limits
To vast eternity.
Oh, the voice, the smile of friendship,
The clasp of friendly hand!
OF all tits the brightest blessing
In all this sunbright land.
The face. of a friend is fairest
In all the beamingr thrpng;
In the voice of friend is music
That cheers and fingers long.
oh, the heart that throbs in unison
With mine, the heart that knows
And divides with me it's gladness,
And shares my weight of woes
Like pearl is friendship current
Among humanity;
Like pearl in place of the genuine
Many limitations be.

iustrlous ancestor. Capt. Paul Gilardoni
has declined TO serve as mayor of Bir-
mingham. He has not reached this de-
termination because Of his lack of ap-
probation of the high honor of the posi-
ton, for he looks on the mayoralty of
Birmingham as OF higher honor than the
