A LONG TAIN.
The conference was long one. Iasdns
about TWO hours. General Lee carefully
reviewed The situation IN Cuba. and eN-
planned az length all points upon which
either the President or Secretary Aiger
asked Tor inform ton. General Lee gave

Another Gard from Mr.. Wallace.

Glow many birds one can kill
with one stone!'' Such was the
eSultant shout of the manager Of
the Red Springs Department in the
RoBEsoN1AN last week. Now I do
not think that any ''bird' has
been killed, and if any have been
GLADLY hurt, they do not futter
helplessly at the feet Of Mr.. Cos
ten, the stone thrower. If, as he
says, more than one bird have been
killed or wounded, he has brought
down more game than he had rea
son to expect; for | maintain that
his stone was not cast at random
he took deliberate aim and fired.
