1t is not conceivable that any nan
North, South, East, or West, through
out the tremendous length ami breadth
OF the Uaited States, would frown up
on or even fail to sympathizc with q
movement to celebrate the memory OF
Robert &. Lee. There was man who
conta ned within himself every clement
OF a noble heroism. Pure-minded,
generous, chivaric, brave, and geutl-,
be was yet the man of strenuous action,
the soldier, the commander, and the
war god. II he ever harbored o mean
thought or committed a mean ac., his
most industrious critic has failed TO
mention it. II he was ever othor than
the gentleman, the Christian, AMI the
ideal soldier, the closest students of his
record do not know it 10 this day. II
be had fault, 1t was that of s .lt-abne-
CATION. II he had weakness, it was
that OF mercy ana compassion. His
life makes stainless and splendid page
in history. He showed the world that
a puissant soldier could be pItful and
kind as any angel. lie showed the
world that very lcrd of battle could
be innocent and stainless in lis private
life. If in modern times there has |
been developed the prote type of |
Tennyson's Sir Galahad, we find it in |
tho character and career Of Lee. He
net Grants magnificent strategy and
mperlcus attack with gOnius and
'ortitude which provoke the adnira-
on of all Christiandon. He met
ilant's splendid magnanimity at APP
'omattox with an eager teroism and
'atient resignation beyond all words

THE EARLY RISING FOLLY.

Tie Rev. 7. De Witt Tslmage now
and then in his famboyant discourses
hits upon a practical topic and utttrs
Souni wisdom. As q conside able per-
ton of the community regards him as
a Sir Oracle. the Iribuneis glad to noe
that in his latest Sunday address he
devoted himself to the folly of early
rising. The old adage--
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes man healthy, wealthy and
wise
is 1t only illogical and I'm wise, but has
been the source Ct many of the ills to
which nan is Leir A man should 90
to bed when be is sleepy, anu not be-
fore. He should get up when he is
Obliged to, aud not before. No speci-
fed time can be set for any one. Cir
cumstances must govern cases. When
q person wakes up and finds himself
inseslstably inclined to turn over AMI
take another nap he is doing violence
/, nature if he does not yield to tho
desire, provided oil other things are
equal. The early rising habit is an cid
superstition which should be ADAM
doned with the beginning of the new
century, ut midnight December 81,
1900, if not sooner. 1t has never made
! man healthier. vealthier or wiser.
There is another ssnsslsss adage that

would not have been caught Chicago
