AN EXECUTIVE REBUKE.
How General Lee Got an Exposed
Point Properly Fortified.

The late Major General Harry Heth
was the only man in the Confederate
army whom General Lee called by his
first name. Lee addressed even his
two sons as General" Heth had been
the friend of his youth, and Lee loved
and trusted him profoundly Yet his
love did not cause the COMMANDMENT
chief of the Confederate army Tor
moment to forget his duty as is shown
by an incident described in The Cen
tury.
One day before Petersburg, Lee rode
up TO Hetn's tent, and said, Harry,
/ should like to ride down your line"
Heth was much nattered at the pro
posal. and as they rode side by slue
he pointed out positions Of danger and
vantage. Suddenly they came upon
place of much importance, where for
several hundred yards there were no
forti6cations. Surprised Lee turned
to has friend for an explanation. Heth
said that he had ordered defenses for
this spot. and had supposed them nm
ished.
See that they are completed at
once Harry" sad Lee; and, turning
his horse. he rode back to headquar-
tcTs.
After a few days the General again
appeared at Heth's tent with the same
proposal, and the delighted ofiicer
sprang to his horse Arrived at the i'll
fated spot, TO Heth's dismay, IL was
found still open.
without a word lee turneu toward
his tent, mOtioning Heth to follow.
Dismounting, the cOmmander-in-chief
seated himself, and the subordinate
stood. wondering what his punishment
would be- Lee spoke in his kindest
tones.
Harry" he said, that horse your
wife rides worries me more than ] can
tell. He kicks and fights the bit till
/ ] fear he will either break her wrists
or pun her arms out Of their sockets.
,ow, the best way TO take the edge off

of exercise-reguar eXercise-mOrn-

A SAMPLE
OF British Rule in the Case Of
Ireland.

The figures Of the census of the
United Kingdom which have lately
been made public, are not encourag-
ing to the people of Ireland and their
sympathizers throughout the world.
For the first time in the history of
Ireland and Scotland the population
Of the former has been Outnumbered by
that Of the latter, the relative figures
being; Scotland, 4,471,957; Ireland,
4456,546
Irishmen generally attribute to the
union forced upon them by England
the -ecay which has marked their his
tory as a people since then, and the
fate which now seems to threaten
their national existence. That the
falling off in population is coincident
with the .lrect control by England can
not be gainsaid. In 1921, when the
legislative union with England had
been only twenty years in existence,
the poulatiOn Of Ireland amounted to
6,Sols27, while that Of Scotland was
only 2,09l,52L In 1871, only thirty
years ago, lreland's population num-
bered 5,42l,371, so that it has lost j.
600, 600 people, or one-hItu Of its inhab-
itants, within the memory Of men not
yet reached middle life.
England and Wales, which only num-
bered 100000 in 1921, or less than
twice the population Of Ireland now
number 32526fl6, or nearly eight to
one And yet the taxation Of England
per head which I'm 1919 amounted to
G3 Jos 3d., had been reduced in 1894
10 60 ls lOd.. Wine tnat of Ireland
which i'm 1919 was only l4s, sd, per
head. had increased In 1894 to el S.
lUdu and, owing TO the South African
war win be much higher this year
The total taxation o.. Ireland, which
Iu 1898. when a Brush royal commits
sion reported that she was being over
taxed C3,OOOOOO, reached E756S, ,G49,
win this year amount 10 more than
Cg5OU.UUO.
n will be perceived that Scotland
has increased 44G,3lO, and its pOpula-
t00u for the first time Outnumbers
Ireland On the continent we have
statistics from germany, showing an
increase Of 10 per cent In population,
Italy n per cent The Uuiteu States
shows an increase Of 2l per cent. All
of the other civilized nations are eX
poutod 10 show heavy gains, except
France ireland stands isolated and
alone the only country in the world
which for more than half a century
has been and is being steadily depopu
lated.
Iu lSll the population Of ireland
was S1gG.597, and in 1901 ii56,56i, a
loss in sixty years Of 3,7iO,0jl or more
than 45 per cent. over and abo
natural increase.
The population in England in lotl
was 150O2. .443, and in 1901 more than
10000. 900 This shows a gain Of lOC
Der cent. in go years. Had ireland
made the same gain since 1871 hel
present population would be 1888,
1884,
These figures are not pleasant read
ng for those who hope for better
fate for a brave, generous, liberty-loy
iug race than the eXpatriation anC
loss of identity as a disunc, nationa
factor which must ultimately be Tho
outcome Of the continuance Of The
present rate Of depopulation and over

BRIDAL SUPERSTITl0NS.
June Luck and May the Reverse
Relative Merits of Months.

Radiant June, the month of roses
and of graduates, is also the fayorite
month of Hymen. May is the most
unlucky month OF the year in which
to get married, but June is the most
popular. There are many supersti-
tions regarding marriage, and even the
woman who most strongly processes
skeptNism is not exempt from them.
Relative merits of the various
months with regard to matrimony are
set forth in the old rhyme which runs:
Marry when the year is new,
Always loving, kind and true;
When February birds do mate
You may wed, nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow,
Joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can,
JOY for maiden and for man;
Marry in the month of May,
You will surely rue the day,
Marry when June roses blow,
over land and sea you'll go,
They who i9u.jl,uly 9u.j,uIl,y.,d do wed,
Must labor aTWSyy for their bread
Whoever wed in August be,
Many a change are sure to see,
Marry in September's shine,
Your living will be rich and fine
If in October you do marry,
Love will come, but riches tarry;
If you wed in bleak November,
Only joy will come, remember
When December's SHOWS fall fast
Marry, and true love will last"
OF the days in the week W ednesday
is the best, and Saturday the worst on
which to get married The old rhyme
runs:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day Of all
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday no luck a, all
If we are to believe in superstition,
brides happiness depends not a lit
tie on what she wears. Something
old and something new, something
borrowed and something blue, is in
variably regarded by brides Accord
ing to an old rhyme:
Married in white,
You have chosen all right.
Married in gray,
You VIII go far away.
Married in black,
You will wish yourself back.
Married in red,
You had better be dead.
Married in green,
Ashamed to be seen.
Married in blue,
You'll always be true.
Married in pearl,
You'll live in a whirl,
Married in yellow,
Ashamed Cf the fellow
Married in brown,
You'll live out of town.
Married in pink,
Your spirits will sink

HOW THE BRITISH
Missed a Fine Chance TO Pay the
Cost of the BOer War.

Severa American millionaries re-
Gently visited the King Of England,
and il would have been according to
precedent if King Edward had caused
them to be seized and held for ransom.
Every schoolboy knows that when
King Richard l. was on his way home
from the holy land he was taken pris-
oner by Leopold, Duke of Austria,
handed over to Emperor Henry VI,
and by him kept in confinement until
he was released for a ransom, which
would never have been paid if his bro
ther John ard the King Of France
could have prevented it, Similarly,
King David Bruce, of Scotland, taken
prisoner at Newcastle's Cross, was de-
tained in the Tower of london until
his subjects agreed to ay 10000 marks
in twenty half-yearly instalments for
his liberation, and hostages were kept
to hold the Scotch to their bargain
History abounds in just such instan.
ces, and kings were not the only ones
that played the game. In the Lay Of
the Last Minstrel, william of Delor-
aine says something about
when l lay in dungeon dark,
In-castle, long months three,
Till ransomed for ten thousand mark
Dark Musgraye, it were long Of
thee"
Here's a chance for King Edward
and Lord Salisbury to show that the
blood of their ancestors still flows in
their veins. If they should jug the
Morgans and other millionaires till
a ransom were torlucoming, equal to
the cost of the south African war, let
ting the rest of the national debt
stand, it would be a great financial
stroke. Some timid people might ap-
prehend that the President Of the Unit
e. States would take offence and
threaten war for the release of the
cooped-up millionaires; but Mr.. Nc
Kinley is a very practical man, and he
knows well enough that he could not
successfully invade Great Britain
with his little one-horse navy. Besides
there would be no public opinion to
back him. The working people Of the
United States, who after a.. constitute
a majority, would be uckled at the
idea Of getting rid Of Ineir monopOlis-
tic masters, who operate the big trusts
which raise prices Of thingG that the
people must buy, and keep on gather
ing up millions for themselves. The
millionaires would have to she'll out
or rot behind bars. There may never
be another such fine chance to get
them all together in London. A word
TO the wise is as good as a nOa to the
inscriptions.

Much Activity in the Building Line
During the Coming Season
in Lewistown.
STRUCTURES MORE SUBSTANTIAL
Stone Business Blocks to Take the
Place Of Old Frame
Buildings.

With the increased activity In the
various mining camps in the vicinity
of Lewistown, and the many business
interests which are receiving fresh
impetus from these sources, u review
OF the projected improvements, both
private and public, which will take
place this spring, will nodoubt be in
teresting to q number OF our readers.
Any improvements in the building
line which will be accomplished in the
future will no doubt take a much
more substantial form than hereto
fore. and the old frame business
houses will in n comparatively short
time be replaced by handsome struc-
lures OF stone or brick.
One of the most important enter
prises on the building program this
spring Is the erection of a large de-
partmental store by the Power Mer-
camille Co. The building will consist

have a capacity Of $4,000 bushels.
Many improvements will take place
this season i'm connection with the
Lewistown Telephone Company's
plant and n much more modern and
convenient system OF wiring will be
adopted. A metallic circuit, which
will provide an individual return wire
to every instrument, will be used In
place of the present system of a com.
mon return or ground wire. This
will do away with all Interruptions
arising from conversation from other
sources than the instrument in use,
which Is a serious drawback with the
present system of a universal ground
wire. In all probability a new cen.
trail building will be erected, which
will be a handsome ambition to The
public buildings of the city.
