 Confederate women who like myself had life or death stake in the success of our struggle knew General Grant only as the Northern General who threw with relentless force and neVer-hagging ener- gy the masses of his armed hordes against our .half-starved, worn-out little army, to whose depleted ranks we had not a man to add. Our great captain, Lee, whose self-sacrifice and military genius were equal to any emergency where these could avail anything, We knew must yield eventually to the impasse of overwhelm- ing numbers guided by military training and an invincible purpose.

 The heart of the man was with his ag- onized foeman when he said of the pa roled Confederates: Let them keep their horses; they will need them to cultivate their farms" His respectful conduct to General Lee when his sympathy for him was so evident as to touch all those pres ent elicited the admiration of both con- testants. af-
 A soldier might well have forgotten all but the. desire to possess the sword of Lee, that precious symbol of the knight hood of the nineteenth century.

Is the administration living up to the pledge made to the Cuban people by the country through Congress, to the pledge of the Republican party made in national convention, and to its own pledge as set forth in various official papers?
 This question is one of the most inter esting of the many questions under dis cussion at the present time. and will con tinue to be so for many months to come. Not only that 1t Is of such grave import that the constroversy to which 1t has given rise will have to be examined by the history writers of the present and future and adjudicated upon in the light of the experience that Is yet to come.
 Cuba was declared to be entitled to in dependence in the Teller resolution. Are the demands made by Congress in the Platt resolutions violation of the first declaration, or, to put 1t in another way, are they inconsistent with it? That is the hub of the whole contention The admin istration holds that they are not; the members of the Cuban constitutional con vention and those opposed to the admin istration hold that they are.
 In considering the question the fact should not be lost sight of that the Teller resolution preceded the war with Spain. That conflict cost the United States a vast amount of money, and considerable loss of life, directly and indirectly. When Spain was finally beaten there came the treaty of peace. In that instrument the United States assumed certain moral re- responsibilities, not only toward the late subjects of Spain themselves. but toward the nations having large vested interest. in the island. Those responsibilities can not be tossed aside and evaded as they would be were the United States to say to Cuba, now we have freed you, go and do as you please"
 Such policy on our part would be na- tional lunacy We are sponsors for the future good government of Cuba before the world. We owe it to the Cuban peo- pie themselves to see that the govern ment they decide upon is the best the :. could devise under present conditions, and that 1t will not be in such forms that 1t might be a menace to ourselves at some time in the future, whether near or remote. In enforcing the Platt condi- tions the administration Is really taking measures to conserve the independence of

THE MAiDu MUSICAL BOW.
A Curious Indian Shape of the ln-
 strument.

Roland P Dixon in Science.
 In view of the present discussion in re- gard to the existence of the musical bow in America. and of it's Independent de- velopment on this continent. the occur renee (quite rare at present, however,, of a form of this instrument among the Maidu Indians of North California ap- pears worthy of a brief note
 The bow was used by the Maidu as a simple bow of cedar, some two and one half feet in length, at present strung with wire, but formerly with fine sinew cord. In playing the instrument it Is held In the left hand the hand grasp ing the center of the bow, thumb inside and palm facing forward. the bow ex- tending horizontally to the left. The right hand end of the bow is placed in the open mouth. and the bowstring tap- ped rapidly with small flexible twig held in the right hand.
 By varying the size of the resonance chamber (the mouth) with the aid of the tongue, and by opening or closing the mouth to a greater or less extent, notes are produced as in a jewsharp The tones gre. however. very faint and are audible only at short distance.
 The use of this bow. known as "kaw- otone panda." is restricted to the medi- cine men or shammans. and other per sons are really allowed to see and never to touch the instrument The sacredness of this bow,, the fact that 1t Is used by the medicine men only in communicating with and praying to the 'kukini'' or spir- it's. and that It's manufacture Is accom- panied, by ceremonial observances. in cluding the rubbing of the bow with hu- man blood-all seem to point to the bow as being of native origin. The limited contact of these Indians with the negro, and the place held by the instrument in the religious life of the people, here as we'll as elsewhere in America, would seem to initiate against the view that the musical bow Is on this continent the result of acculturation.

Game to the Last.

From the London Spare Moments.
 A certain duke. while driving from the station to a park on his estate to inspect a company of artillery observed a ragged urchin keeping pace with the carriage at his side. His grace being struck with the cleanliness of the lad asked him where he was going The lad replied:
 ''To the park to see the dock and so- gers"
 ], The duke feeling interested stopped his carriage and opened the door to the lad, saying he could ride to the park with him.
 The delighted lad. being In ignorance of whom he was kept bis grace inter ested with his quaint remarks till the park gates were reached.
 As the carriage entered 1t was saluted by the company and guns. whereupon his grace said to the lad:
 Now. can you show me where the duke is?"
 The lad eyed his person all over. then. looking at the duke. replied, quite seri- ously:
 Well, I dunno. mister, but it's either you or me"

 and have been told heshad great fund of quiet humor unmixed with the strain of satire which usually accompanies 1t.
 About thirteen years ago he went by invitation to New Orleans and when the street arabs heard who had arrived they threw pebbles at his carriage. One of the gentlemen who formed his escort tried to conceal it by commenting on the idle habits boys have of throwing stones.
 General Grant answered with a quizzi- cal smile, Tt looks as If they were throw ing at me, does it not?'
 Everyone who met him in New Orleans conceived favorable opinion of his kind ly nature.
 Memories of Sectional Strife.
 Forty years have passed away since the first gun was fired in the war between the states. To unborn generations the ar mics hurled against each other for four tragic yet glorious years will be only a proud though ghostly memory, cherished by both sections as splendid testimonial to the valor of American arms. They will turn to the soldiers of the South and North with a just pride in their achieve ments, and mete out unstinted praise where it was deserved, but this day has not yet dawned upon us. I fear.
 The rank and file of our people have ad- hered to their construction of our rights under the constitutional union. They do not forget their wrongs, but l thank God they have laid down on the altar of our common country's good the bitter pas sions engendered by our Titanic struggle. Our rights are in abeyance. because we are not strong enough to maintain them, and 1t only remains for us to do the best for our country under the conditions which the Ruler of the world in His wis dom allowed to prevail.
 Nevertheless, bitter, prejudices and re- sentiments have been much modified by intercourse, the inter-marriage and inter education of the people of the two see- tions. The feeling now entertained in the South for General Grant is not the least significant of. this fact
 That great newspaper has asked a Southern woman to write of General Grant one whose tenderest sympathies, dearest hopes and loftiest pride are cen | tered in the fate of her own beloved peo- pie, the men whom her husband led with prayerful certainty that for their just cause the future contained mo such wort as fail" shows an astounding change or sentiment in both sections.
 I hope there are people both North and South who are already looking above and through the smoke of battle to take the manders who have left their fame sun- clouded by atrocities committed upon the helpless who fell into their power, and in this galaxy I think General Grant will take his place unquestioned by his form CT antagonists.

alties for the vanquished proposed to have General Lee arrested and imprison- ed, General Grant announced that he would give up his commission II General Lee was arrested, covered as Lee was by the terms of the surrender at Appomat- tox.
 None knew better than he that the pub lie mind was inflamed by the assassina- tion of Mir Lincoln, then falsely attrib- uted to Confederate influence, and he was perfectly aware that by his resistance to the arrest of General Lee he braYed pub lie censure and risked the popularity which afterward seated him in the Pres idential chair. Some said he threatened to break his sword" but General Grant ap- pears to me never to have been verbally tragic or forensic, and l cannot believe this.
 Mrs. Grant told me that when he was in command in Vicksburg his ear was all ways open to appeals from the destitute citizens: that 1t was only necessary Tor her to state a case of distress Tor General Grant to set about relieving or rectifying 1t.
 When our discouraged troops were evac- uating Vicksburg after performing prog idies of valor without avail. 1t was Gen eral Grant who gave the order; Instruct the commands to be orderly and quiet as these prisoners pass, to make no offensive remarks"
 General Grants animus was shown in his modest commentary, T hope l have always treated those who were not on the same side with me- both in the field and in politics, with justice'

 An Anecdote from Mrs. Grant.
 Perhaps it is hardly delicate for me to repeat an anecdote told me by Mrs. Grant, yet 1t speaks such volumes for him as a tender husband that 1 yield to the temp tation and give it with an apology to her for violating her confidence. She had suffered more or less all her life from an astigmatism of which she was very anxious to be relieved, and when he found out her intention to submit to a surgical operation fearing that she would suffer pain, he said: Those are the eyes I have so long loved; keep them as they are"
 No words can express the sympathy that the little quiet household of Beau voir House felt in the heroic, gentle suf- ferer of Mount McGregor. MT. Davis looked first at the daily column which told increasing weakness was telegraphed he said: Poor sufferer; I would give him comfort and ease If could. l hope he will live to finish his book. I believe he will tell the truth as he sees it"
