Don't Believe 1t.

This sad and doubtful little tale
is just now being told on a young
man from Mssouri:
One young mans dream of bliss
has been rudely shattered. His
sweetheart passes him now with a
strong glare. II $ sweetheart's
father is searching for him with a
bo-sewhip, while h er brothers
swear they'll shot him on sight,
and this is what brought it all
about:
The young man went with his
sister to a dry goods store. He
bought pair Of gloves for his
sweetheart. The sister bought a
pair of hose for herself. OF course
the clerk got them mixed.
The explosion came when the
sweetheart opened the package
aud found therein pair OF long
black stockings. She hlushed.
Then she opened the note, and
this is part of the note;
l am SCI din g youa little pres
ent. Oh, how wish that no
other hands than mine would ever
be permitted 10 touch them after
you put them on. But, alas ONE
other fellow may touch them when

The Death Of Lee.
A FRIEND.

"At the close of chilly au-
tumn day in a little college town
nesting among the hills of dear
old Virginia, the family in a mod
est home had waited beyond the
usual hour for the head to return.
At last there appeared a ma jes-
t i C figure approaching. II e
walked a very God among men. He
had b is military cape thrown
around his shoulders. His mien
was stately aud his dignity inn
pressive, and yet his calm face
showed that the duties of the day
had been unusually arduous.
In a little while the family gath
cred around the board in their re-
spective places, and the husband
and father took his place at the
head of the table, where they
stood with reverently bowed heads
and uplifted hands to ask the ac-
customed blessing upon the simple
evening meal. Alas, the agony of
the moment! No sound was heard,
no speech forthcoming. The fam.
lily looked up in direst alarm. The
great chieftain looked around on
each of them, and rested a long,
last, lingering, loving look upon
the face of his wife. His hand
was lowered; he sank back in his
chair; his loved ones crowded
around hun with blanched faces
and quivering hearts. The soul OF
Robert E. Lee had surrendered 10
God"

To the Editor OF the Intclligcnc'r:
Dear Sir:-I see in y0ur paper
of Aug. BIRD, IAN article of about a
column and II half, written in part
to Justify the running of the auto
mobile on our streets, and also on
the country rOnds, and insinuating
that we who oppose the auto do SO
j. rider to DO the pan titles who own
j.. N harm. This is not true, as
lizard both the men who own autos
iu our city as gentlemen. 1t is
the machine that | am after. And
again you said Il don't think that
you believe it) that the movement
against the auto is mare joke
aud very little seriousness is being
lent to it, which you will see that
you are mistaken, and again you
class the opposition as being old
fogies, and called up old Noah, Sol.
onion, the cable car, the locomotive
and the cotton gin, none of which
is a parallel to the automobile, You
seem to think the advance in pro-
gress is sufficient in itself to justi.
fly the killing and manning of the
people. And, again, you say that
the mortality list is largely due to
the imperfectiOn Of the machine.
This is cOntradicted by the eastern
papers, where the auto has been in
use for many years. | will call
your attention to the clipping
from Harper's weekly which |
herewith enclose, and in as much
as you have used clippings from
papers that have ear marks of
snObs or sports, you will do the
public a favor by insertings the en-
closed clippings and let them see
the true state of affairs in the
east.
And it seems that your paper
and the Ledger takes delight in
telling that ! have no horse to get
frightened at the auto, which is
part true, bat l. have a daughter
in Mexico, who has one that she
has been driving s.ely for years.

scare horses, they dispute with
railroad trains and with trolley
cars about the right. of.way. Some
times, also, their steering gears
break, aud they also smash into
something. The worst habit that
the motor car has is to run into
railroad trains. In shocking

near Bennington, Vermont, Dcpu-
ty Police commissioner Lindsey of
New York and his bethothed were
killed. Grade crossing motor ear
accidents seem so easily avOidable
by the exercise of common pru-
dence that we should wonder at the
frequency if it were not that the
same thing has been happening
to horsedrawn vehicles ever since
the first railroad was built. The
most shameful and outrageous
propensity Of the auto is to run

An auto caught so doing should

10Th Anniversary.

On Wednesday evening in ac-
cordance with arrangements made
by Mrs. Ida Matthias, the Senior
Class of he High School and a
few other invited guests assem-
bled at the home on Glenview
Heights to celebrate the 10th an
niversary of their friend Dwight
Matthias and eldest son of the
hostess. The affair was in the
nature of surprise, .and the usu-
al amount of merriment and fun
was not wanting on this occasion.
The young people found ample
means of entertainment, a mock
trial in which one of the young
Americans sued a fair Senior for
breach of promise, creating quite
an excitement during its heated
argument. Musical selections
and the examination of fine col
lection of sterescopic views also
had their share of attention. The
Seniors presented Mr.. Matthias
with a tie and a scarf pin and the
other guests gave as their token a
handsome volume of Pope's poems.
A delicious lunch was served by
Mrs. Matthias, and at late hour
the company departed, wishing
their friend many happy returns
of the day.

A Japanese Evening.

The meeting of the Twice Five
Club which was held on last Mon
day evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. r. r. Wright will long
be remem bered and will go down
in the annals of the club as one of
the most delightful evenings they
had ever spent. The subject it.
self was one which would interest
all, and the excellent papers which
were given opened the discussion
in such a manner, as to claim. the
entire attention of the company.
Mr.. John White had the affirma-
tive side of the argument, the
trend of his remarks being that
the opportunities for young men
are as good now as in the past.
Mr.. G. V. Lowry took the negative
side, and the general discussion
which followed did not lack en-
thusiasm.
The broad veranda, which was
the principal rendezvous of the
club after the program, looked
like bit of scenery in far Japan.
1t was here that the tables were
set in the soft light of the Japan
ese lanterns and under the bright
colored umbrellas, and it was here
that the guests were served with
the dainty luncheon by their host
and hostess. Tiny Japanese para
soils were the favors. The decora.
tions in the parlors were of bios
SONS, one great bunch of violets in
particular calling forth the ad'
miration of the guests. Those
who were the visitors were Mrs
Blasius, DR.. Smith, Charlotte
Work, Mrs. Charles Wright, Mrs
Hand of Marion and Rev. Houston
of Mt. Gillead.
