Gen. Lee during the civil war, having
been employed as cook at headquar-

about the idol of the south. In relat-
ing the incident, he said:

TRICKS OF BEGGARS
Men and Women Who Find ImpIorng Charity Easier Than
Working.

How beggars are made" might be
made the subject of a singularly inter
esting article. And it would refer not
to the unkind cuts Of fortune, but to
the appliances whereby certain deft
and none too scrupulous manufactur-
er equips men and women who, for
purposes of their own, wish to be con-
sidered lame, halt or blind.
That it is easier to be crippled than
to work is the maximum upon which
this particular trade is established
I'm what is called street sham
fakir,'" said one of these dealers in
disguises recently. 81 fake up most of
the sham disabled mill operatives,
crippled sailors, etc., and charge 'em
a small fee.

Traits of the Gorilla
African Natives Convinced the Monster Animal the
Soul of a Man.

Gorilla hunting is a distinct sensa-
tion even for the veteran hunter. This
animal, which has become somewhat
confused with fable and fiction, is a
reality, and decidedly unpleasant
one to engage. The West Africans
are mortally afraid of it, believing
that the brute contains the spirit of
man. They attribute to it all sorts
of ferocities, like the carrying off of
human being, who is permitted to
return after being deprived of toe and
finger nails.
Skilled hunters have never observed
any of these doings, but they testify
to the brute's strength and ferocity.
According to a French sportsman a
full-grown gorilla can bite through a
tree six inches thick in order to Sc
cure the sap, and twist a gun barrel
with the swollen punches of muscles
that serve for arms. His roar is ter
rifying and can be heard for a dis
tance of three miles.
Il shall never forget how the first
one impressed me-" says the French
man, ''for had bad attack of the

huge chest, muscular arms, fercely-
glaring deep-gray eyes and helIish

'At that he dropped to all fours and
came six yards nearer, sitting up to
beat his breasts with his huge fists

immense drum. His roar was most
singular, beginning with kind of
bark and deepening into bass roll
that literally resembled thunder

showed unpleasantly, and, feeling he
was about to attack, and incidentally
being scared green, / shot him

his arms spread feet. | was glad to

The Value OF Sleep
All Night Frettng Not Worth One Hour Good Waking
Thought.
II. " y. :.

One great secret of Napoleon's pow
er was his ability to sleep. If he had
but an hour for sleep he slept an hour,
even though the fate of an army or
of an empire hung in the balance
while he slept. Gen. Grant was an
other great example of this ability
to lay aside work at quitting time.
Even in the Wilderness campaign.
when the responsibility of the move
ments OF the nations armies, stretched
out in battle line a thousand miles
long lay on his shoulder; when his
goodnight commands involved all
night marching and fighting Of his
army of the Potomac, and his waking
orders might mean victory or defeat
the killing or the saving of thousand
men-under it all he lay down and
dropped to sound sleep as quickly IS
you or | when we read ourselves sleepy
over an old story book. Grant had
what a great writer has called a
''frictionless mind" He saved for
the wear of work what others throw
away on the tear of worry.

When William E. Chandler was

A Savage Tribe.

The Antaimoro. one of the Oldest
tribes of Madagascar, possess the
secret Of making from the pulp of
the native shrub very beautiful and
enduring kind of paper, resembling
parchment. Each family possesses
few sheets of this paper, on which
its chronicles and traditions are rec
orded and the same paper is used for
transcribing the laws of Mohamme-
dianism. The paper is said to have
been invented in the middle of the
ninth century by Mohammedian
shipwrecked on the coast, who desired
to transcribe his torn and water
soaked copy Of the Koran in an en-

Free Doctors Under German Law.

Under an insurance law enacted
In Germany several years ago 10000
900 people receive in return for a
nominal sum free medical attendance
The theory was that suffering hu
manity would receive cheap and effec-
tive relief from it's bodily ills, but
in practice there are many draw
backs. The doctors hired by the
State hold that they are expected to
do too much for the pay they get
In Munich they get only about SIS
per annum. In order to keep down
expenses the doctors are inclined to
impress upon the patients that moth
ing is the trouble with them.

Here is a sample of the other ex-
treme. Said Minneapolis lawyer to
me: When I began the practice Of
law l always lost two nights before
had case in court, tossing about and
combating every thinkable standpoint
of my opponent. And | lost as much
sleep afterward upbraiding myself for
not having thought of certain points
at certain pat occasions in the prog
ress of the case" OF what value were
these night thoughts to this young at
torney? About as much value as
night sweats to consumptive!
venture to say that all the business
planning man does in life while
lying on his back at night isn't worth
an hours good thinking on his feet
on one June morning. AS compared
with the sleep it displaces, such night
thinking isn't worth forty winks after
dinner. Burning the candle at both
ends sometimes makes fine bonfire
But it always makes a bad grease spot

Proposed Confederate Museum.

Trustees of the Confederate Memo
