drew softly upward along the edge of the

stood outlined with pale light. In the
darker vault of the central heaven large
stars still glimmered drowsily. The great
city lay half asleep. But multitudes of

bearing lighted torches in their hands,
were hurrying down the dusky streets to

The following anecdote of Gen. Rob-
ert e. Lee is characteristic of the mag
nanimous greatness of the Virginia
chieftain. At q faculty meeting OF the
Washington and Lee university during
Lees presidency one Of the professors
made some disparagimg remarks about
Gen. Grant. Gen. Lee, in indignation,
rose from his chair and, looking the
professor full in the face, said to him:

respectfully Of Gen. Grant in my pres

grass was stiffened with tiny shining
stood up like glittering field of pixies.
Despite the difficulty of walking over
the uneven ground and the slippery
rocks, they made their way, not with
out occasional falls, to the western side
of the plateau to observe the effect in
the cove. Philip was in raptures over
tie prismatic variety of colors, picking
out and naming the tints with child
ish glee and with a subtle apprecia-
ton of color that far outran the limited
vision of his comrades. and made them
think that Sherman territory had posi-
bly, defrauded the world below of
frst-rate artist.
AS they turned back toward the house
Bromley remarked that it was strange
they had not been awakened as usual
by the Growing of the cocks. Indeed,
the stiffness of the hour was remark
able. It was strange that while they
had lain in their hunks after daybreak
they had not heard the cocks answer
ing one another from one end Of the
plateau to the other.
Usually they heard first the clear.
ringing note of some knowing old bird
burst loud and shrill from Under the
very window, and then the pert reply
of some upstart youngster who had
not yet learned to manage his crow,
drifting family back from the rocks
to the west; then straightway all the
growers of all ages. and of every condi-
ton of shrillness and hoarseness, tried
for five mortal minutes to crow one
another down; and when one weak,
far-away chicken seemed to have had
the last word, another would break
the stiffness, and the strident contest
would begin again.
In leaving the house they had been
80 enchanted by the hues of the ice
storm that they now remembered that
they had not so much as turned their
eyes in the direction of the mill. When
they came upon the brow of the hill
which overlooked the mill-which was
a silver mill now-the limbs of the trees
which stretched along the bank beyond
were crowded with the fowls, at least
400 of them, sitting still on their
pcrches. Philip, who fell down in his
eagerness and rolled over on the ice,
remarked as he got upon his feet that
it was too knowing flock of birds to
leave the sure hold it had on the
limbs to come down on to the slippery
ground.
AS the soldiers came nearer, however,
they noticed that their fowls in the
; sunlight were quite the most brilliant
objects they had seen; for their red
combs and parti-colored feathers made
rich showing through transparent
coating of ice which enveloped them
like shells and held them fast to the
limbs where they sat. Whether they
had been frozen stiff, or smothered by
the jay envelope, they were unable to
lets~1nine; but they could see that all
.ne fowls had met with a very beauti-
full death, except Eve or six Of the tough

crack the icy winding sheet about their
bills. One of these, who had more life

Sugar is half a cent a pound
higher in the country stores than it
was before the Dingley tariff became
law. This half cent was put on
by the sugar trust as soon as the
law made it impossible for import
ers of sugar from abroad to compete
with the trust. The trust while
waiting for the law to be enacted
had imported enough of raw sugar,
duty free, to last year and con-
sequently the government gets no
share of the half-cent rise the
people are paying. The sugar trust
gets it all, and it will profit the
trust, it is estimated, to the amount
of $15O,0OO,00O during the present
administration.

noses of business men so close to the
grindstone they have no time to
inform themselves on national
questions; no time to read or think
of anything but keeping their heads
above water and from sinking into
hopeless bankruptcy. By thus
keeping their noses to the grind
stone they are kept in ignorance
and are the more easily robbed by
the gold standard ring who prey
