CoMPL1MENT1NG GEN. LEE.

Few defeated generals have been so revered as was Robert E. Lee. Every southern man and woman admires him The author of "A Girls Life in Virgin ia" tells little story that shows how much he was loved by little children.
 A year after the surrender, Gen. Lee journeyed across the mountains on his old war horse, Traveller, to pay a visit to the authors mother. On the night of his arrival he said:
 Today an incident occurred which gratified me more than anything that has happs sned for long time. As l was riding over the desolate mountain region I was surprised to find, on a sud- den turn in the road, two little girls playing on a large rock. They were poorly clad and after looking at me a moment began tc run away"
 Children said I. don't run away! If you knew who I am you wouldn't ruh away from me-
 I've do know you they answered.
 "'You never saw me before,' I said, for I never passed along here
 "'But We know you the children said, we've got your picture in our house. We ain't dressed clean enough to see you,' and then they scampered off to a hut on the mountain side
 Then the general told of another ad- venture he had had on the same day.
 While riding through thick woods he met man who, recognizing him, stop ped, and throwing up his hat in the air exclaimed: General, please let ms cheer you!" and then he hurrahed as loudly a s he could.
 Gen. Lee was too great man to be excited by ordinary applause. On the contrary he was annoyed by a compli- mL mt to his valor or skill as a general. But he was touched by the compliment which the two little girls of the moun- tain paid him: We ain't dressed clean enough to See you."-Youth's Compan- ion.

One of the interesting featur=e :n the Paris exhibition is the furniture section where is exposed, among other delect- able exhibits. a small Louis XVI salon. the woodwork of which, in sculptured oak, painted white, has been executed for the Duke of Marlborough. The du- cal coronet and monogram it bears are encircled with graceful wreaths of flow CTS which are so exquisite in workman ship as to be worthy of the wood cary ings of the Trianon. The table in the center of this beautiful salon is desk, each side of which is composed of mar queterie in rosewood, orramented with carved gilt bronze and is a copy, says a Paris correspondent, of that from the Hamilton collection, at present in the Chateau at Chantilly. On the side ta- ble, in carved and gilded wood, in pure Marie Antoinette style, is a tripod per fume burner, which is also Fare work of art.

When the National Association of Hoboes holds its meeting in Iowa next month the boys should not neglect to say kind word for Colonel Bryan, for surely there is a man after the hobo's own heart. Not only has he steadfast- ly refrained from all labor for the past four years or more. but he stands for a policy which will lessen the amount of work to be done in this country. Clearly the hoboes should have a par ticularly friendly feeling for Colonel Bryan.

It Is significant that physicians who have been examining the eyes Of the pupils of one of the public schools of Jersey city have found that out of 351 children examined only sixty nine had perfect sight. The parents of the chill dren who vision is at all imperfect will be compelled to get glasses for the lit- tie ones. As this Jersey City school contains just an average gathering of children, there is surely a lesson here for school boards and parents every where.

In study of American politics which appeared in a recent number of the London Chronicle, it was pointed out that out of the twenty-five presidents of the United States all but one have been of British family origin. Fifteen, head ed by Washington, came of English stock. Three, including James Monroe, had Scotch ancestors. One Thomas Jefferson, inherited pure Welsh blood while five others traced their lineage to Scotch-Irish ancestry.

Hypnotism is no longer myth. a fanci-
full creation of the mind, but reality, a
most potent power capable of producing
infinite good. For the purpose of ascer-
tanning the exact value of this much
talked-of power a committee composed of
a physician, a wellknown jurist. promi-
nent minister, and leading railroad man
was appointed TO investigate Hypnotism.
The committee carried on series of in
vestigations In regard to the power Of
hypnotism to influence the actions and
deeds of people in the every day walks of
life.
The first step taken by the members of
the committee was to master the science
in every detail, SO that they might state
from personal experience the good Or evil
this strange power might produce. They
wrote TO the New York Institute of Science
OF Rochester, n. Y, the greatest school
Of Hypnotism and Occult Sciences in the
world and received full and complete in
structions In regard to how hypnotism may
be used to influence people in business,
how to use it in treating diseases, etc.
In a few days they mastered these instruc-
lions and were full-fiedged hypnotists.
II was clearly demonstrated that hyp-
rotism may be employed so that the per-
son operated upon is entirely unconscious
of the fact that he is being influenced;
and. all things considered, the committee
regard 1t as the most valuable discovery
of modern times. A knowledge of 1t is
essential to ones success in life and we'll
being in society.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Wheat closed a cent
lower than last night. Local traders
made an effort to sustain prices. but il

market was very small. The continued
heavy primary movement and small ey-

exception of Antwerp, had an easier tone.
CIearances were 402, 600 bushels. There is
a fair milling demand here.
The corn market was fairly active, with
December selling at yesterdays high
price, 3Sc. At the best prices the ele-
vator people and Phillips brokers were
moderate sellers. Commission houses and
shorts were the principal buyers. There
was some fair local professional selling

country acceptances. There were 10000
bushels cash corn sold for all rail ship
