tion that convened in Lexington
last week. DR.. Jones was paste

for a number of years, commenc
ing right after the surrender Of
the Southern army.
In this way he became person
ally and intimately acquainted
with Gen. Robert E. Lee, and sool
after Gen. Lees death compiled
that beautiful book Personal
"reminiscences of Robert E. Lee. u
This book is probably the very
best in every way that has been
written about Gen. Lee.
When friend drove DR.. JOKES
over the College and Institute
grounds one day last week, just as
soon as they entered the College
campus the Doctor almost stop

Gen. Lee, and If the laborers COLI

Lee saw every brick put to its

In two respects this may be very
interesting to the students of the
UniVersitc. As to the trees, Gen.
Lee, when these trees were set out,
was fresh from the field of battle
and the last year or two OF his
warfare wfs a defensive one, this
was brought about on account CT
the great disparity of numbers on
the part of Gen. Lees army. and
now can any student of the school

this building was built out of the
poverty OF the Southern people,
what a suitable place to bow the
head in humble worship to the
great and infinite God.

Two years ago a bill passed the
senate to make the wild rose the
state flower of North Dakota. The
bill was lost in the shuttle in the
house. This year Senator Hanna's
bill making this flower the floral
emblem of the state has passed
both houses and will no doubt be-
come a law. While it is a matter
Of only sentimental interest, it
would be difficult to selecta more

In remarking about the criti-
cisisms made by editors thruout
the state about the legislature, the
Tribune says the tenth Legislative
assembly is quite harmonious and
not at all more "freakish" than
legislative bodies of other states.
The suspicion and distrust that ex-
listed between the two factions of
the republican party at the open
ing of the session has gradually
disappeared and the roll call on
measures shows the assertion of
the individual judgment rather
than the whip" of factional lead
ers.

The bill, requiring school boards
to plant, protect and cultivate trees

feared it could not be done with

and then the attempt might prove
unsuccessful. Those who have
