GENERAL F1TzHUaH LEE.

The life of F'itzhugh Lee, now ended, extended through the stormiest, the
 most critical, the most anxious period of American history, and the period also in which the national development was greatest. ,< %...ez. In 1885, when he was born in Virginia, | the forces which divided the Union into warning sections in his early manhood were already woring% %ominosuly to that
 end; yet at his death on Friday in his seventieth year that Union had been firmly cenlented togsther for the first time since the federation of thirteen
 American states of diverse and conflict ing interests.
 General Fitzhugh Lee typifies in his life and character that period of strug- Igle and of final reconciliation. He l came from long line of illsutrious Vir- ginians, and he shared by inheritance in their state pride and their theories of
 state sovereignty. Accordingly, his ad- hesion to the south in the movement
 for secession from the Union which fol- ! lowed the election of Lincoln was both consistent and inevitable. When a question which had been disputed from the time of the adoption of the Consti- tuition was submitted to the decision of | war, of coruse Fitzhugh Lee was found
 on the side taken by his state.
 When, however, that decision was rendered against him and his fellows of the south, he accepted it without re- I serve as final and conclusive, and when, thereafter, the restored Union became l engaged in war with a foreign power l he proudly resumed the niuform of an officer of the United SStSates army 1 which he had put, off thirty-seven years
 before to serve the cause of secession and disruption.
 Fitzhugh Lee died therefore a hero of
 the whole American people. The illus
 trious name he. bore. typical. of the
 highest and pruest American citizen
 ship is a proud national possession. It is a name almost eanonized at the | south, and at the north it Is scarcely
 less honored.--New York Sun.

which few auctioneers escape. If g. man gets too good for the business then he drops out failure. My ideal for an auctioneer would be a man with good education, a good
 voice, a good command of language,
 fine physique, logical, witty, quick of perception, polite, a good mixer, a
 good judge of values and honest by irl-
 stinct. That would be a pretty hard program, but I have seen men succeed | in the business who did not possess g.
 single one of these attainments except
 honesty. '
 "The old idea of the auctioneer is going out A man must dress neatly, keep his hands and face clean and his
 boots blacked and wear clean linen. ''If | were asked to suggest the best study for young auctioneer l would say English grammar. It is getting to
 be as necessary for the really good auc- tioneer to know the difference between
 an adjective and an adverb, and to keep tenses from mixing, as it is for lawyer or other public speaker. All peo- pie dislike to hear anybody murder the Qu06Il ; EllRliSH StLlu tilS duClioilcoL who does it is not likely to get a second invitation to make a sale. "No calling or profession pays bet i ter than this, and there is none where men are so scarce. know of dozen Jauctioneers who command from $20,- 900 to $25,000 a year. and there are
 hundreds who make twice as much as a United States Senator.
 q don't believe in the idea that auc- tioneers are born, not made. My ex-
 perience controverts this. I heard a fellow talk at sale one day, and practiced selling things the next day when walking behind blow.
 "When I left my farm the auction
 eer charged me $5 for the days work I though that was too much, and
 while he was at dinner started in to sell myself. was new broom, and got better prices than the professonal. Neighbors came in and asked me to sell for them, and thus I was launch ed.
 Everything nowadays is getting to
 be sold by auction. I believe that in 10 years all the cattle in the great mark l cts, all of the fat cattle, will be sold ! by auction every morning. It is that
 way in the older countries, and it is getting more so here every year. New York Sun.

A SCHOOL FOR AUcTIoNEERs.
How It Trains Men For Lucrative ....- Ca Hing -

z How It Trains Men For a Lucrative
 Calling.
 The only school for auctioneers in the world is conducted at Davenport, Ia, by some men who have been suc- scessful as auctioneers and who be- lieve that auctioneering is fine art and therefore should receive the atten- ticn of educators. The scientific breed ing of horses and cattle and the yearly sales of fine live stock have caused a great demand for auctioneers and the school tries to supply this demand. A thoroughly competent man is indis- pensabie to breeders when holding public sales of stock. Good stock will not sell for top prices on it's own mer- its, the auctioneer declares. It is the auctioneer who makes the sale. Top notchers among auctioneers get $15O a day for their services, because they have the art of jollying the buyers in- to competing to the limit of their purs- es.
 A sight novel to those who live out side of the great cattle belt is one of these fine stock sales. A half-dozen auctieneers are employed. Each one of them is thoroughly familiar with the pedigree of every animal offered. They move about in the sales ring, calling for bids upon certain animals, crying out their merits and buttonhol- ing intending buyers.
 Live stock sales are increasing in both old and new territory, and there is plenty of business for all properly qualified auctioneers likely to be turn ed out by any college. Auctioneers are born, not made, say the managers of the Iowa School, but the addition of a technical training to the equipment of the born auctioneer is of value.
 In the auctioneers' college oratory is put forward as one of the strong features A proper control of the voice is declared to be essential and voice culture is insisted upon. There is also a professor in live stock selling, one in merchandise sales, another in general farm sales, and one who teaches pedigrees. Grammar is also taught.
 Any man of ordinary attainments,' says Col F. M. Woods, the dean of the business in America, may become a successful autioneer. It can't be done in day or 8 year. The crucial time is during the big head period,

from the water the fin of a shark. The
doctor and Howard LEIGH of Oyster

AS the shark started rapidly away the
doctor plunged the harpoon with full
monster just behind the ear. In it's
frantic effort to get away it tOWed the
rowboat for some distance, leaving be-
hind trail Of blood. Lashing the sea,
it was dragged by the doctor and Mr..
LEIGH to the beach, where it was found
to be a shark Of dangerous variety
and to measure about eight feet in
length. While returning to the launch
the doctor saw and harpooned another
shark which was not full-groWn. The
DOCTORS exciting experience, and the
fact that tie sharks were killed III
close proximity to several bathing
beaches. Including the one upon which
President Roosevelt and his family are
wont to disport themselves, have caused
DR.. Hall to make preparations for a
shark-hunting expedition, upon which
lie will be accompanied by several
friends, all armed with harpoons and
all intent upon Kidding the bay Of
these monsters. -.
