A MEMORY OF LEE.
He Had Much Dignity of Bearing
and Beauty of Fnce.

Soon after the Confcdcrates began to
enter the town lEliZabethtown) l met
friend OF mine, the son Of DR.. Doyle,
who told mr that his father had just
been sent for to see Lee and that !
might 20, too if | ran as fast as my
small legs could carry me. and we
found the doctor just starting. DR..
Doyle was man who had been in
communication with the enemy from
the beginning Of the war, but had so
far managed to escape the fate OF
many innocent men. Two of his sons
had been arrested a short time before
and were lying In jail when their
friends arrived and set them free.
The doctor was In his old gig and,
being an immense man, left no room
for any one else in 1t, SO we two boys
sat on tn" springs behind. Ii was on
the Williamsport pike. about half
mile from the town, that we met Gen
eral Leo. He had dismountcd and was
standing hy his horse, small sorrel
mare, which, | was told, 1t was his Gus
tom 10 ride on the march His staff
was brilliant in gold lace. but he was
very simply dressed No one could
have seen that man without being
greatly impressed with the dignity OF
his bearing and the beauty Of his face.
His hair M this time was almost en-
tirrly white, ana those who had seen
him the year before said he had aged
greatly in the short space of time which
had elapsed since the battle OF Ante
tam. | could not help thinking of
Washington as | looked at that calm,
sad face. 1t has been said since by
those who We're near him that he had
no expectation Of conquerlng the north
and that at the most he only hoped to
win great battle on northern soil In
order TO affect public opinion in Europe
and lead II the recognition of the
Southern Confcdcracy. However that
may be- there was nothing about his
bearing which looked like a great hope

MISSOURI RIVER BOATS.
Trips of the Old Side wheeIers In
the Early Days.

Ia the early days there was a regu-
lar line of packets between st Louis
and ST Joseph all side wheclers, and
the average round trip occupied eight
days. \ boat left st. Louis every day
for the Missouri river, and as there
were fourteen boats in the line each
boat made round trip once every tWo
weeks during the season. During the
winter the boats ran between St Louis
and New Orleans
Coming up the river the boats ran
all night, but in going down they al
ways laid up as soon as darkness set
In. In going down the river the boats
usually left st Joseph early in the
afternoon and laid up for the night at
Weston, where there was always a lot
Of freight t. load. The next day they
went to Lexington, the next to Boon
vile and the next TO St Louis Occa-
sionally during high water a boat
would leave Lexington at daylight and
reach St Louis in time for breakfast
the next morning.
The boats carried from 300 TO 400
counting the immigrants on the deck,
but going back they only had cabin
passengers. The cabin fare from st.
Louis to st Joseph ranged from SO
TO SO, which included meals and state
room. The boats were all supplied
with Gne cooks, and the passengers
lived on the best that money could
buy
The average boat carried 500 TO 600
tons of freight in addition to passen-
gers. During low water freight that
now costs 20 cents hundred cost 81 so
q hundred. The expense OF a round
trip from st. Louis to St Joseph, in
Guiding loading and unloading, was es-
timated at $4,000, and the income from
cost TO $1,000. Each boat carried a
crew of from 80 to 100 men. The aver
age value Of the boats in the line was
probably $4,000 each.
The boats We're often on sand bars,
where they sometimes remained for
day and night, but altogether the time
was made surprisingly well. a pilot
who had n reputation for keeping his
boat off the bars commanded as high
as $500 month Each boat was pro-
yided with two pilots, and this expense
usually amounted u from 5000 TO ST.,
600 month. All river pilot saved
he put I'm his watch chain. You could
tell high priced pilot by the size Of
the links in his gold watch chain. \
rattling good first mate who knew how
10 handle Il boat after 1t struck a bar
received $3.50 Il month.
Poker was favorite river amuSc-
mcnt. and il WAS not an uncommon
sight to see c.g,t or ten games going
at the same time in the main cabin Of
steamboat. And the playing was for
actual money, which was displayed in
stacks on the tables.
Among the famous boats on the river
Mt that time were the Kate Kinney, +.
e.. Aubry. Morning Star, John u. Per
ry, Sioux City, Omaha, Carrier and the
James H. Lucas. The last named made
the fastest run in the history Of the
river-59 hours aud - minutes from St
Louis to st. Joseph.

S2ntc Bcuvc is the foremost literary

Arnold in England and Talne in
France are his disciples, or at least he
IS their literary ancestor They de-

in him. The part of Taine's critical
theory which has withStood the test of

THE RESOURCEFUL MOLE.
lie Gets Away with Ease when You
Think You Have Him.

Speaking Of quick and resourceful
animals, the mole leads easily SO far as
my experience goes" said man from
the country, and | dare say there are
many men who have made obserya-
tions that will confirm my contention.
As you probably know, the mole plows
I'm the surface of the earth, generally
making a small ridge anywhere from
two to three inches high. He moves
with remarkable rapidity even when
the ground IN which he Is burrOWing is
hard When operating In soft ground
he moves along at II surprising gait.
But this IS not the point | wanted 10

bly, good hearing of the mole and the
ease with which he can get away Just
ut the moment when you think you
have him cornered. OF course now and
then YOU can drive spike through the
mole before he Is aware Of II. II you

Search rs YOU may, you cannot find
him. | have seen men dig for fifty
yards, following the ridge and its off
shoots, without finding any other trace
Of the mole than the ridge. The mole's
hearing IS peculiarly keen, and l sup
pose this IS so because he cannot see.
But even more wonderful from my
standpoint Is the ease and quickness
with which he gets away. How does he
manage It: Where does he go2 You
know, the element of superstition in
my makeup is slim, and don't believe
in ghosts, but somehow have always
inclined just a bit to the ghost theory

of course, the mole is real and not an
