Memory of Gen. Lee.

Soon after the Confederates began
to enter the town (Elizabethtown) |
met a friend of mine, the son of Or.
Doyle, who told me that his father
had just been sent for to see Lee, and
that | might go too If l hurried, saws

Doyle was man who had been N
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 the jail when their
friends arrived and set them free.
The doctor was in his old rig, and.
being an immense man, left no room
for any one else I'm it. so we two boys
sat on the springs behind. 1t was on
the Williamsport pike, about half
mile from the town, that we met Gen.
Lee. He had dismounted and was
standing by his horse, a small sorrel
mare, which, i was told. it was his
custom TO 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 be

of his bearing and the beauty OF his
face. His hair at this time was al

Halfway across, her foot slipped; she

Meanwhile. Muriel and the comedian
had returned to the brake, and were
making preparations for the meal.
The girl tried to forget the shameful
scene in which she had been an invol-

thoroughly good natured little man, and
possessing that tact which belongs to
absolutely unselfish natures, behaved as
though nothing had occurred.
He kept up a running fire of testing
remarks, made in his own quaint way,
until at last, he was rewarded by seeing
what almost amounted to smile break
over Muriel's face.

"Of late years coffee has disagreed

Capt. Kaempf, of the Deutschland

Great, But Absent-Mlnded.


It is not disgrace, even for a fam
Gus man, to lose an umbrella, so the
New York Times tells with evident
delight of a celebrated lawyer who
darted into a furnishing goods store
on a recent rainy Friday. purchased
an umbrella, and carried it as far as
the door.
There he stopped to make a note in
a memorandum book. He left the
umbrella leaning against the wall
while he wrote, and when he finished
the writing he started out without a
thought of the umbrella.
Within a minute he rushed into the
other door of the same shop. He
wanted to buy an umbrella.
81 thought / had one with me when
I left home" he said, in a semi-apolo-
getic way, "but / guess / must have
forgotten to take it."
A second salesman sold him an
other umbrella. AS he started to
carry it from the shop, the first sales
man confronted him
"You left your umbrella, sir" the
clerk said, as he held up the original
purchase.
"Bless me, so | did," cried the law
yer. and I suppose / was going OH
with some other man's!"
He pushed the second purchase
into the hands of the surprised clerk,
seized the first one, and dashed into
the storm again with his umbrella
under his arm.

In the case on trial. McTavish was

which was about to be introduced in
evidence. Like a h~alf-starved man

the prisoner bounced upon exhibit A"
and chewed it to pulp.
With soulful satisfaction he gulped
1t down. The prosecution was in con-
sternation, for it's main piece of evil
dence was gone, and demanded that a
stomach pump be used forthwith.
While the lawyers argued pro and con,
the prisoner calmly picked his teeth
with a whitfield match, plainly the

argued that the ball of paper in the
