The home of Leonard Alger, our
genial county drain commissioner was
the scene of very pleasant evening
on April %. About sixty of his neigh
bors and friends from all parts of the
town assembled there and took the
gentleman SO by surprise that he had
to solicit assistance in making his toilet,
he having retired for the night. The
visitors came with well filled baskets
and with provisions enough for the
whole company.
The host and hostess after having sur
rendered all into the hands of the visi-
tors were presented with two handsome
willow rockers. The presentation was
made by M. L. Hadsall in a few we'll
chosen remarks in which he paid tri-
butte to the honor and esteem in which
Mr.. Alger had been held by his neigh
bors and associates.
Fred Kent furnished music by the
Edison photograph and Mr.. Bolt, who
has recently purchased the home of
Mr.. Alger, exemplified his ability to
handle the accordion which was enjoyed
by all present. After a bountiful re-
past the guests retired to their homes
wishing Mr.. Alger the very best of
future prosperity.
The Racket Store is having big
alteration sale and smart buyers will

not that theory been taught at West
Point, there would have been no seces-

Soil party. His aversion to slavery
was SO strong that he had already freed
his own servants, and regarded those
who had come temporarily under his
care at Arlington as trusts whose inter-
ests were to be guarded till the time
arrived when they would be free &C

ambitions to be served under the new

OF Promise shone clearly on the blue

After the Mexican War, General
Scott frequently mentioned the dis

in the field, and saying that if oppor-

PERSONAL
MEMORIES OF
ROBERT E. LEE

A man in glittering uniform boarded
the train at Richmond as my father was
taking me from our home in Chucka-
tuck to school at Lynchburg. 1t was
before the war made uniforms common
and meaningful. | watched him with
fascinated eyes as he came down the
aisle, for he was tall and erect and
walked with a firm step and a COM
handing air
He stopped beside us, spoke to my
father, was introduced to me, and
turning over the opposite seat, joined
us for the rest of the journey. 1t was
Colonel Lee, whose fame was already
a part of our education. He shook
hands with me in a grave, fatherly kind
OF way, and, taking one Of my long
curls in his hand began to barter with
me for it. In my diffidence | did not
dare to take advantage OF his quest for
a price, though | would have given
every curl on my head for one OF his
buttons, for even then Colonel Lee
was a great hero in my romantic mag
nation.
He was on his way from Harper's
Ferry, where there had been great ex-
citement for few days. John Brown
and his men had descended on the town
and taken possession of the United
States arsenal. Colonel Lee had been
on furlough at Arlington, settling the
estate of his father-in law, when orders
had reached him to take the marines
from the Washington Navy Yard and
four companies of troops from Fort
Monroe and dispense the mob, dispos-
sess the instgators, and restore order
to the terrorized little town in the Vir-
ginia hills.
1t was not alone Harper's Ferry that
had been alarmed. The entire State
had been thrown into a turmoil of ex-
citement. All through my infancy l
had shuddered owe, the tale OF the Nat
Turner instruction, but the John
Brown raid had come into Our daily
life and was a subject OF vital interest.
| listened with intense fascination as
Colonel Lee talked with my father
about the strange old fanatic and his
followers.
81 am glad we did not have to kill
him." he said, "ior l believe he is an
honest, conscientious old man"
To hear the exciting tragedy dis
cussed by the one who had commanded
the Federal forces deepened my inter
est in the soldier of whom | had al
ready heard so many brave things
My eyes were fixed on him all the
while he talked, with the same admira-
ton which he won from so many more
experienced. | saw him many times,
and intimately afterward; but there was
something about him which always
drew attention to the whole and away
from details. a writer who wished to
represent the great Confederate leader
as he appeared to those who knew him
best wrote to his daughter Mildred,
asking how her father might be de-

scribed, and she replied: ooh! any way

scribed, and she replied: ooh! any way
will do"
Apparently ANY way has very often
sufflced, for the only external points
upon which his biographers seem to
agree are his extreme personal beauty
and the grace of his Workmanship
His most intimate associates have at
tributed to him eyes of all hues within
the range OF eye-tints, and it is hardly
strange that his child admrer received
a first impression of grandeur and dig
nifty which refused ever to be analysed
or to descend into specific features. |
could never remember anything in par
ticular but the clear threads OF white
scattered through his dark hair-hoar-
frost which he brought home with him
from the Mexican War.
When first met him honors and age
had brought that perfect, imperturbabe
gravity and dignity which characterized
his later years, and rendered the stories
OF his youthful escapades almost be-
You'd belief. To me he was always a
hero. He came to me first in con-
nection with the most important his
toric event which had occurred within
my short existence, and remained with
me always in association with the great
problems which changed the trend OF
national history; for in less than two
years the storm broke which was pre-
Saged when the unfortunate John
Brown seized the arsenal at Harper's
Ferry.
Unlike many of the leaders in the
Confederacy, Robert +. Lee had no pet
theory the maintenance OF which re-

resignation. The words were restrain
ed and dignihed, but between the lines
one reads clearly the fall of mans
hope, the wreck of his ambition on the
altar Of home love.
After his resignation, the son Of
Light Horse Harry, riding with the
grace inherited from that bold cavalier
Of the Revolution became sight fam
iliar to the streets of Richmond. We
never saw him pass without watching
till he was gone from view. His horse
was magnificent creature, always per-
fectly groomed and the love Of the
rider for the handsome animal was con-
stantly evident. When he was return
ing from Mexico, eager as he was to
see his family and dear old Arlington,
Lee submitted to the delay of long
journey by boat rather than weary his
horse by hard riding.
When at the battle of Seven Pines
brave Joe" Johnston, who was born to
be inthe way of bullets, was seriously
wounded, General Lee was appointed
to the command of the Army of North
ern Virginia. He became the idol of
his soldiers, one Of whom, during a
camp discussion as to the descent of
man. was heard to exclaim:
"The rest Of us may have come down
from monkeys, perhaps. but it took a
God to make 'Marse Roberto

Richmond, except for occasional visits,
and for long time I did not see him.

thoroughfares. 1t was Yuan Shin Kai
who fostered a system of modern edu-
cation, of all branches, and who
opened public reading rooms and lee
ture halls, thus instilling the leaven
OF modern progress into the minds of
all young China
To-day Yuan Shin Kai's sun is I'M
der cloud. He has been shorn of
the command of the army, of all his
numerous posts except his viceroyalty,
and of what is all important in Chi
nese politics, his enormous revenues.
The Manchu reactionaries who COM
pose the palace clique are on top; but
no one expects them to attempt the
mad follies of seven years ago. Halt
ed as a reformer by these, Yuan Shin
Kai is also hated by the extreme
wing of reformers themselves, whom
he betrayed in 1900, thus making pos
sible the coup d'etat" whereby the
empress seized the reins of power
from the feeble hands of the emperor.
There is said to be a blood feud be-
tween the emperor and his most pow
