The st. Louis Westliche Post Isl
the leading German daily Of the
Mississippi valley, and one of the
few great German newspapers in the
United States.
Established in 1857, it soon passed
into the hands of DR.. Emil Preto-
RUS and the Hon. Carl Schurz. For
40 years the Westliche Post has
shown the most effective devotion to
honorable and progressive ideas.
Edward P~reetorius, business man
ager and treasurer, is a man of dis
tinction throughout the Southwest,
and is known to many thousands in
other portions of the country for his
broad business methods, and for the
commanding influence of his journal
in national, state and city politics.
Mr.. Preetorius is an interchangeable
worker, Subjected by his profession
to unusual business cares, overwork
and sudden demands upon his nerv-
GUS strength, his personal expert
ence and his estimate of Paine's eel
cry compound must have exceptional
weight, especially with brain work
ers, and men and ome whose
nerves are necessarily called on, as
if they were iron and steel, and not
the most sensitive parts of the body.
Mr.. Preetorius' letter, given below,
shows his confidence in Americas

DRINK TO HI LEES.
NEW YORK JOURNAL.

Lift up your goblets; drink unto the Lees.
First pledge the name in water, crystal clear.
Pure as the soul of Him who would appease
With Christian kindness every human tear,
Lift up the glass again; red be the wine,
Red as the hearts blood of the gallant elan
Split in a love of country, high divine.
Drink to the name. 1t typifes a man.
Drink to the Lees! Drink to them in cham
payne
Gallant and comedy, courtier, cavalier.
Free from decit or thought or sordid gain
Each man among them Natures matchless
peer,
Unsullied hearts and kind to friend and foe.
All! glorious gift to claim such sons as these,
And we are proud, let every nation know,
To own and follow blindly all the Lees.
Kings count as naught beside them in oureyes:
God made each one a king in his own right
Harry and Robert, Fitzhugh calm and wise,
Statesman and soldier, ready for the fight.
And in the strength of each, his record true,
We smile at menace, saying, IF you please
Well do whate'er our leader finds to do.
Because, you see, we know and trust the
Lees
Drink to the Lees! Let South and North reply
Let East and West touch goblets, hearts and
hands:
A long, loud cheer to reach the vaulted sky.
Each Lee up yonder hears and understands!

to equal his performance by half a

With running mate, Pointer made
the quarter in 0:291@, which gave en-
couragement, and with the half in O:59,
it looked as if he would do something
terrific. The terrific pace was kept
up to the three-quarter pole, which was
reached in 1:2S1A, and then came the
question of endurance. The great horse
was urged all through the home
stretch, but he did not quite reach the
wire in time.
