From the New York Sul

From the New York Sun.
 N O MAN in his life exemplified bet N ter all that was good in Boston than did Col Henry Lee of Brook line and of Beverly Farms, who died seven years ago at the age Of Sl years. IL was not the intellectual side or Boston nor the religious that he represented' though he was much closer to both than his modesty would admit, but the well horn. well to do leisure of society that held close together before it was assailed by intrusive elements.
 He was not so much type or the thoroughbred Bostonian, for he had Ill him too much of the milk of human kind- ness. as an exemplar of what Boston Wlth a strain of the old Adam in 1t might be- come. Of the bluest of New England blue blood, the coldest of cold roast Boston, shrewd business man whose name was A synonyme for integrity, Colonel Lee could turn a glacial front like the rest of his townsmen to the advances Of out side barbarians, but within the charmed circle he was always lovable, Jovial ana delightful in his hot-headed impetuoslty and bluff speech. It is no formal plogra- phy. but a series of sketches of him that MT. John T. Morse, Jr., has drawn Tn the "Memoir of Colonel Henry Lee"
 Colonel Lees title was not derived from military service, but from his appoint ment as aid on the staff of his eXcellency the governor of Massachusetts. That gov ernor. however, was John Albion An drew and the years of service with him did not mean parading in gold lace ana feathers. but equipping and sending to the front the regiments of Massachusetts men as fast as they could be got ready The heroic work done by Colonel Lee in organ izing, in expediting, in fighting red tape Is only touched upon in MT. Morse's pages but these show again that loyaity all" efficiency at the base of supplies are as imnortant as on the fighting line. The war letters, too, bring back the memory of Boston's contribution of blood Tor her country, and half the names in Harvard Memorial hall figure In them.
 The social side of Boston is presented more fully. Colonel Lee was fond Of the stage, and for years acted in private the- atricals. He corresponded with Fanny Kemble. He lived in close touch with the Boston school of great literary nshts, particularly Emerson, while Oliver Wen- dell Holmes was his near neighbor at Beverly Farms. He passed through the stress of the later Unitarian struggle. His bioerapher has allowed Colonel Lee to tell his own story as much as possible, which adds to the interest of the DOCK,

FINEM RESPIcE.

By A. Latady. Consider thou the laborings of Time Which have been spent in fashioning
 thy form; How He hath visited and robbed each
 cline
 Of all those virtues which do thee adorn: Yet thou, reproachfu of his patient toll, Hast sworn no further to assist his aims Thee to excel but would myself despoil The faithful artist in his labored pains. Know that thou makest of myself grave Within whose dark walls will sepul-
 tured be Thy beauty, form, and grace-no art can
 save
 What is so ruthlessly destroyed by thee In thy decrees be to myself more kind And leave an image of myself behind.

WILEY'S BILL.

From the Montgomery Advertiser,
 The bill introduced by Congressman Wiley, the first day Congress met, for preventing the issuance of federal liquor license in territory where the state law prohibits the sale of liquor ought speedily to become law. Every time such a license is issued the great government becomes alder and abettor of law break CTS The men who use the license know when they get 1t that they are violating the state law every time they sell a drop of liquor. yet they feel safe if they can keep out of the clutches of the United States officer. The amount of money re- ceive by the United States government from this way of helping in the over riding of state and community laws is but drop in the bucket of its receipts and not worth considering. MT. Wiley's bill ought to be passed by unanimous vote,

Good Music.

"A most encouraging evidence of inter- est in good music in Birmingham is the fact that large audiences attend the Sun day afternoon concerts at the conserva- tory" said a prominent citizen last night. "A glance over the audience today re- vealed another fact that is encouraging to musical artists. I refer to the great mum Der of representative church people pres ent.
 "A few years ago a Sunday concert would have been regarded by most active church members as a dissertation. Today all persons of culture feel that artistic music is handmad of religion All good music is religious music. The music heard at the conservatory is more religious than much of the music heard in the church choirs These Sunday afternoon concerts are uplifting not only from an aesthetic point of view but morally and spiritually

Peculiar Policy.

"One of the most peculiar insurance policies l have ever heard of, said an insurance man yesterday lis one held by Kubelik the famous violinist. on each one of his fingers.
 ''rhe great musician has policy with the Lloyds of $5O0OO. Five thousand dol lars on each finger and thumb. If his fin gers are injured he gets s2oo0 for each engagement he is unable to fill up to twenty-five, when he will have received the full amount of the policy.
 The policy carried by Kubelik reminds me of many more equally as unusual which the companies of Europe will write The American companies would not think of taking such a risk, and yet 1t is said that Englishmen are more conservative Some of the policies are mere bets.''

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press
 It takes two to make bargain and one to get the best of it.
 It is terrible hard to save money when you haven't any left over to save
 Maybe it would pay the people better to pay their public servants more and be robbed less.
 Half the fun to girl of being engaged is wondering if it will last long enough for her to get married
 Doctors are fine things to make a man feel that somebody is getting his money s worth out of being sick.

I've just had the little photograph he gave me about for tv years ago enlarged, and it is so much like he looked l couldn't keep from crying
 q stepped into the humble little eaoin' and he showed me a picture, neWly framed on the bureau.
 'The picture was a splendid likeness oi Alexander Stephens, the great Georgian and Confederate counselor"
