It is a proper sentiment to entertain

his wife to write an appropriate IN
scription on his knapsack, which she
was packing on the eve Of his de-

in the Revolution. The enthuslas-

in good, round letters, ''Victory or

LEE WITH HIS ARMY.
Was Kind and Considerate-Always
Refused Whiskey.

Youths Companion.
AS the Civil war recedes farther
and farther from the present DAY
there looms larger and larger in the
story of it the figure OF Gen. Robert
E. Lee, the adored leader OF the con-
federate armies. There is scarcely
household of importance in the south
in which some story Of him is not
told, but few illustrate the qualities
-9o1 which he was beloved better than
4hese which the New Orleans Times
Democrat received from woman
who met The general CT his last re-
treat:
The army had halted two miles
from Petersburg, on the road to Ap-
soonattox, and General Lee and his
staff had been asked to dinner at the
hone of a well-known jurist at Sum-
init. Iced mint julep was the tavorlte
beverage of Virginia gentlemen IN
those days, and when the statt ana
guests had assembled, just 0erore
dinner was announced, the glasses
were passed. General Lee was IN
conversation with young lady. he
offered his glass to her, after the old
style, then barely raised it to his ilps'
and set it down untasted. He took
I'D and drank instead glass OF water.
Looking round the room. where all
The men were drinking with relish, ne
said:
."Do YOU know, I really believe this
glass of water refreshes the inner
man far more than the julep."
Even his hosts famous liquor could
not tempt him. 1t was said that a
bottle of brandy presentd to the gen
eral before she war was returned to
the giver unopened after the ssrren-
der, with the request that she would
use it in some case of need.
AT the dinner General Lee took a
cuo of coffee and added sugar and
cream. It was especially fine Java,
brought in before the war, and his
hostess exclaimed, "Oh General Lee!
Do you take cream in your after
dinner coffee"
Il haven't tasted coffee for so
long" he said smiling, "that am
afraid to take it in its full strength.
1T is true" said one of mis- staff,
later. every bit of coffee that has
come into his hands he has always
sent it to the hospital"
AS he rode away from Summit on
the famous horse, Traveller, he passed
the home of poor old woman who
had sent her sons to the army. The
Youngest, whom she called Dolly"
was her special pet. Like every poor
.e5uthern woman, she believed Gen.
..ral Lee was the personal protector
OF Ger son. When she saw him she
rushed out and caught his bride.
20 General Lee" she cried,
-3What's become Of my Dolly"
Although te was even then without
hope of saving his army, and was en-
crossed with plans for making the
gzst desperate stand in the faint posi-
bilitv of union with General Johns
ton, the great leader, divining at once
that ''aDolly" must be soldier son,
replied in his gentlest manner:
MADAM, if you tell me Dollys
name and the name of his company
and command, | will try to find out
for you"
His hostess said that as he rode
away all the tales she had heard and
read of warriors and their deeds
flushed to her mind, and she felt that
never were their qualities Of courtesy
and chivalry personated in another as
in the south'S general.
