The very beautiful, sunshiny days
We have been enjoying for the past
three weeks took their flight as the
sun went down last night, and this
morning the cold west wind made its
appearance, the sky is overcast and
we may look for snow at any time.
But even the approach OF winter is
welcome, for all seasons have their
charm and perpetual summer would
o bring an enervated condition
among the people. We should learn
to accept every phase of weather
with cheeifullness. This thing of
growing at something we are power
less to help is sheer nonsense. There
are any number of people who do not
enjoy pleasant weather and are ready
TO .emark with IA whining infection :
"Oh, this cant last; its just IA wea-
,her breeder" What they e by
a weather breeder they could not
tell themselves. but they have got
ten into the habit of looking upon
the dark side of every picture until
they find enjoyment only III dlspar-
aging everything that comes under
their observation.

The saying that a sucker is born
every minute reminds me that, much
AS has been said in the papers con
corning the folly of Euying gold
bricks. every now and then some
Door sucker continues to invest in
that kind of property. Just as long
AS gold bricks are on the market |
suppose there will be buyers, unless
there is some one near enough with a
stuffed club to stop the transaction.

GENERAL Funston is endeavoring
to modify the uniform now being
worn by the regular army officers.
At the present time no bird of Para
disc is so be-decked and be dazzled
as the army officer, when in full dress
uniform, and the sight is enough to
make the gods stand in I'VE AS n of
those gentlemen passes by. This is
a move in the right direction and ]
hope the General will be able to
make his protest stick.

THE LEE STATUE.
Virginia Will Present the COnfed-
crate Chieftian for S~tatuary Hall.

Richmond, Va, April 27.-The joint
committee appointed by the legislature
to provide a statue of Robert E. Lee
for the National Statuary Hall in the
capitol at Washington, will report to-
morrow.
1t will recommend that life size bronz
statues of Lee and Washington be pro-
vided. the Lee figure to be made by
Edward V. Valentine, of this city, and
the Washington statue to be a replica
of the Houdon statue in the state
capital here. Seventeen thousand dol
lars are asked for the purpose of Sc
curing the statues.
With reference to the Lee memorial
the committee
1T will take two years at the least
before the statue can be completed, and
it is believed that when it is ready for
presentation our brethren of the north
will be ready to unite with their breth-
rem of the south in giving the same
welcome to the statue of Virginia's
great hero that she has always Joined
in giving to the heroes of other states
when their images lave been presented
to the nation to be commemorated in
Statuary Hail."
