the elder Rothschild. He was mistaken; he
forgot his dream of wealth. He, too, was
one of the poets of financial age. Nor,

ones self UP TO an irnpassioned thought Of
which one is as sun j as death, and for which
one is Wiling to die, is not still, as 1t always
has been, the keenest pleasure OF human

Yesterday was one OF those character

on the street corners With their hands in

would come along trying loudly to ex-

wonder why they never heard student
talk OF anything except football and base

invariably moves with the suu--first on
the street corner, then in the postoffice.
On court day the attention of the crowd

A NOZZLE LIFE

It Is indeed interesting and profitable
to read and study the lives OF noble men
ana women, and parents cannot spend
money more wisely than in supplying
their children with good biographies of
great and good men who stand out prom
inently in the worlds history, not only
IA wise leaders but humble Christians
1t is also Interesting to note how those
excellent traits Of character descend from
sire to son through many generations.
Recently we received from the ROYAL
Publishing Company, Richmond, Va. a
new book entitled "Robert Edward Lee
Soldier, Citizen and Christian Patriot y
one great advantage in connection with
tins book is that it gives in n brief bur
charming manner the history of the Lee
imaily for several hundred years, show
ing that Richard Henry Lee, Robert f..
Lee ana other master minds sprang from
noble family whose history is as profit
able as 1t is interesting Besides an ey-
cellent biography of Gen. Lee and ac-
count or his great military cam paigns. il
tells how he won the hearts of his SOL
diers and will retain through all the ages
the affection of friends and foes. The
work also contains II large number of in
teresting historical documents giving the
organization of the various armies to-
gether with brief biographical sketches
OF such men AS Gen. Joseph f. Johnston,
Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, Gen. G. T.
Beaureeard, Gen. BraXton Bragg, Gen.
John Is. Hood. Lieutenant General A. p.
Hill, Admiral Raphael Semmes Gen.
John: Is. Gordon, Gen. James Longstreet
and Gen. j II Reagan. This is the only
biography of Gen. Lee ever ublished on
this plan, and 1t is having very large
sale The publishers advertise through
our columns for active agents, as II is
sou only by subscription. Those who
distribute such work as this will be ex-
erting blessed influence on the rising
generation besides renping rich and
profitable harvest financially.
