Col. Wizards Mother ana Her
Services for the South


A pretty little story, with war, love
and all the elements OF romance mixed
in it, 10 connected with the parents OF
Colonel Joseph E. Willard, candidate
for Governor, though it appears to have
escaped the notice OF the Lieutenant
Governors friends.
The facts in the case are these: The
Lieutenant Governors mother, who be-.
fore her marriage was Miss Antonio
Ford, OF Fairfax, Va, was charged by
the Federal authorities with guiding
Colonel John s. Mosby through the en-
emy's lines when the famous guerilla
captured General Stou6hten and a
number OF his command. She was
given commission By General j. y.
B. Stuart for her loyalty and devotion
to the South. Later she was arrested
by the Union soldiers and imprisoned
in old Caption prison in Wash ing
ton.
Colonel Wizards father was in the
quartermaster's department Of the
Army ofNorthern Virginia for a short
while. Some Of the Lieutenant Gov
ernor's enemies seek to use this as
political capital against him, but in
view Of the friendship now prevailing
between the North and South, to say
nothing of the loyal service of the
candid ate's mother, the scheme has
failed 10 work. Then, too, although
Colonel Willard is scarcely less proud
OF his father than his mother, he is
proceeding strictly on the basis that
"a man is not his father but himself.

presses Richmond News Leader.

HER MANNER MAY CHANGE
When a Woman Is Displeased She Is
Not Forgetful of Society
Manners.

She was plainly irritated about some
thing and sat pouting as she ate in a
downtown restaurant, and not saying
a word to the man with her, evidently
her husband, relates the Chicago Trib-
une. Before the luncheon was finished
another man came in. The husband
knew him and called him over to their
table and introduced him. The woman
was then all smirks and smiles. Her
anger disappeared completely, and she
even included her husband in her sun
ny views Of life.
That's society manners all right"
said girl at another table, but did
you ever see anything so foolish It's
a good guess she wants hat or money
to buy something Of the sort from her
husband and is going to pout till she
gets it, but what a contrast her manner
is to the man she's never seen before
and isn't likely to see again! II must
look as absurd to the husband as it
does to US. II ever l have a husband

1t is always best for a young girl
to accept only flowers and bon-bons

very frequently accept much handsom-

you to make is to always refuse az
gifts from men but flowers and candy
and perhaps books and music. OF
course, il you have known a young
man for years, or If he is an intimate
friend Of the family, a special dis
pensation" might sometimes be
granted. Otherwise 1 would advise
YOU to return any very handsome gift
which is sent you by a young man,
and with 1t send a gracious and cor
dial note, showing your friend that
you appreciate most sincerely his
kind thought Of you. and assuring him
that you return the gift only because
you make 1t a rule never to accept
from any man anything beyond the
