COmpIimenting Gen. Lee.

Few defeated generals have been so re-
vered as was Robert E. Lee, says the
Youths Companion Every Southern man
and woman admired him. The author of
"A Girls Life in Virginia" tells a little
story that shows how much he was loved
by children.
A year after the surrender Gen. Lee
journey ed across the mountains on his old
war horse, Traveller, to pay visit to the
authors mother. On the night of his ar
rival he said:
To-day an incident occurred which
gratfied me more than anything that has
happened for long time. AS I was rioiag
over the desolate mountain region I was
surprised to find, on sudden turn in the
rad, two little girls playing on a large
rock. They were poorly clad. and after
looking at me a moment began to run
away.
Children said l, don't run away! If
you knew who I am you wouldn't run
away from me-
We do know you they answered
You never saw me before l said,
for l never passed along here
" But we know you said the children.
We've got your picture in our house.
You're Gen. Lee! We amt dressed clean
enough to see YOU and they scampered
off TO hut On the mountain side"
Then the General told of another adven-
ture that he had had the same day.
While riding through thick woods he met
man who. recognizing him, stopped and
throwing up his hat in the air exclaimed;
General Please let me cheer your and
then he hurrahed as loudly as he could.
Gen. Lee was too great a man to be ex-
cited by ordinary applause On the con-
trary, he was annoyed by a compliment
to his velor of skill as a general. But he
was touched by the compliment which the
two little girls of the mountain paid him:
I'VE amt dressed clean enough to see
your

other business in which success is at

made enough from his crop this year 10
fully pay the purchase price OF his orch
ard. He, therefore, has very little rea-
son TO complain. Doubtless there are
others who did pretty nearly as well,
considering that the yield was below the
average.
The transportation companies cannot af-

may be that some way will be discov-
cred to preserve the fruit while on its
way to market that will NOT be so cost

turn for the peach crop the growers and

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun Dem) says: 1.-THE
elimination of the illiterate negro vote in
North Carolina will prove a blessing 10
both races. 1t will insure honest and
efficient government by those best fitted
to control the affairs of the state. II
will prevent friction between the races
and will lead in the end to improved re-
lations between whites and blacks There
is no disposition in North Carolina to
treat the negro unkindly. His best friends
In that state are among the most ardent
advocates of the amendment adopted yes
terday. He will be educated and cared
for in the future, as in the past, by
those who voted to disfranchise the illit-
crate members of his race. The adoption
of the amendment will prove beneficial
to North Carolina in more than politi-
cal way. With the friction between the
races reduced to a minimum and white
supremacy assured, the material develop
ment of the state will be greatly pro-
noted"
Mr.. e. La Godkin. formerly editor of
the New York Evening Post Qnd) in an
Interview on the political situation, says,
in part: What we need in this country
more than anything else is a large body
of men who will keep to the same idea
several years in succession. Consider the
unsteadiness of Senator Hoar, the ridicu-
lousness of Lodge. and the prattle of that
upstart Roosevelt. the Rough Rider. 1t
grieves me when l hear the applause
which greets Roosevelt. Why is 1t that
so many attach importance to Roosevelt
and consider him a statesman and a SOL
der? cannot understand ID. 1t shows
a marked decline of public sentiment.
fear for my country Mark me- Roosevelt
won't last long. There will be a col
lapse shortly"
1t is interesting to note occasionally
what foreigners think of our public men.
OF Mr.. Bryan the London Speaker says:
Constantly before the American public
for years, scanned with close scrutiny, he
has given the impression of sincerity and
humanity. The American people, cursed
with the sinister spectacle of whole states
under the rule of corrupt and cynical
bosses" of Croker. Plat, Quay Ad-
dicks, of men rich with the spoils of pro
tected" syndicates and trusts, have seen
in Mr.. Bryan clean handed man entire
ly removed from all this dirty money
making and wire-pulling. His life is SIM
pie, his tastes are ideal, his character is
above reproach. his eloquence is power
full, his industry untiring."
The Hartford Times Dem) says:
'There are two or three thousand more
pensioners on Uncle Sans list than were
there a year ago. ii will soon be twenty
Ave years since James A. Garfield de-
clared that the maximum Of pension pay
ments had been reached and that the an
nual charge for their maintenance would
steadily decrease. A year hence the 10
tai number OF pensioners will probably
be in excess Of 100000"

Care of Sheen.

There are two things that the sheep
need as much as any animals on the
farm. They need fresh air and they
need exercise. The sheep shed should be
so built that when it rains or SHOWS so
that the sheep cannot take their daily
run In the field, the windows or upper
half doors can be opened to allow the
fresh air to enter freely. If they have
not been shorn they will not feel the
cold, and only those who grow winter
lambs shear in the fall. But whenever
the weather is suitable they should
have run out in the field, not a yard
bare of grass and filed with mud and
manure, but in an open field. Even in
a damp day they may be out for
short time, but not long enough to get
their wool wet through. The uneasiness
of sheep when in pasture shows their
need of exercise. They will not eat and
lie down as COW does, and some of the
smaller breeds are almost as ready to
jump on a wall for the fun of jumping,
as goats are.

Spring Wheat,

When the fall sown wheat has winter.
killed, or where the Hessian fly has
been troublesome, spring wheat may be
sown. This crop was once the favorite
in many sections, but has been aban-
doned to a large extent. excepting in
some northern localities as in Canada.
There they still grow it in preference,
and they obtain as good crops as are
usually grown from winter wheat. We
see no reason why seed obtained from
the North should not yield good crop
in New York or Ohio. on any land that
would grow winter wheat, and In a
place where the fly abounds~ it would
have to contend only with so many of
them as came on the field from some
field of fall sown wheat near by. The
winter wheat has to contend against
both the fall brood and the larger
spring brood which results from it

cago firm wrote to Bosworth that same
day, and on the same train with its
letter went Wardner to see Bosworth.
Wardner found his old boss and stated
his case, saying that IL he would give
him a good word he would have job
all right in Chicago. Bosworth was
willing to do that much, and Wardner
asked permission to- write the letter of
recommendation himself and Bosworth
could sign it. Bosworth agreed to this,
too, and Wardner sat down and wrote

handed over to 'Bosworth to read and

Then he signed the letter and Jim got

LABOR NOTES.

Seattle unions have secured a site

Chicago Federation of Labor and Ty-
biographical Union No. 16 have locked
horns. The Federation expelled the

HOtbeds,

Whoever has a hotbed in which to
start early plants for setting in the
garden should also have cold frame
into which he can transplant some of
them to give them more room and
harden them up little before setting
them in the open ground. OF course
there are some who SOW so late in the
hotbed that this is not necessary, but
they do not get their plants so well ad-
vanced, and gain but a week or two
when they should gain as many
months. Many are at loss to know
when the temperature is right for SOW
ing seed in the hotbed. The best way
is to use thermometer, as one fairly
good can be bought for a few cents.
Plants which require much heat to
terminate in open air, like tomatoes,
peppers, egg plants or melons, should
go in when the heat is at or about 80
degrees, while cabbages, caulit1owers
and other medium early plants will do
better if the glass does not mark above
80 degrees, and lettuce or radish would
sprout readily at 20 degrees.-Ex-
