He would find out that in the recent war with Spain the South vied with the North in loyalty and self-sacrifice, that his old fellow officers and subordinates with joy took down and used the swords they had once hung up in sadness.

 "The one hundredth anniversary of Robert E. Lee is day dear to all who revere saintly, spotless life.

 And blessings on the falling out That all the more endears,
 When we fall out with those we love
 And kiss again with tears.
 After portraying Lees soul-struSgle as to whether to remain in the army of the United States, where he had served with honor for over quarter : of century, or to stand by his native state of Virginia and his final deter imitation to remain loyal to the latter, the speaker took the audience with him to Lees tent on the battlefield and then to his home at Lexington, Va, where he retired after the war,
 assuming the presidency of Washing ton University. Then the speaker
 concluded as follows:
 "Thus he lived for five years in the
 quiet little town of Lexington, Va, enjoying the company of his affection ate wife and daughters, now taking a ride through the mountains on his be- loved horse, Traveller" now calling on his neighbors and playing with their children, all the time attending faithfully to his duties as president of the university.

South aggravated his physical pain, though he never permitted himself to appear depressed. He knew his end was near He had just come back from church meeting over which he presided. The family had been wait ing for him before beginning their evening meal. General Lee stood by his chair to say grace, but alas! he was unable to speak. He took to his bed and during the two weeks that he fingered, although conscious for the most part, he maintained an un- broken silence, a silence which the by-standers declared had an awful grandeur about it. During the last moments the war scenes seemed to pass through his mind in a panorama. Tell Hill he must come up!' and Strike the tent.' he commanded in his delirium. The commander-in-chief himself was a moment after ordered to an audience with Death and he passed away from earth to reap the reward of eternity so we'll earned.
 Perhaps the few short lines of the English poet, Philip Stanhope Wors- ley, written by the latter on the fly leaf of a copy of his translation of Homer's Iliad which he dedicated to General Lee, express most fittingly the admiration of the American people for Lee:

FOOTBALL TRAINING IN
SPRING IS NECESSITY
Harvard Authorities Trying to
Abolish Preliminary Field
Work.
Special Sporting Service.

Tribune Special Sporting Service.
NEW YORK. April 6-The move made
by the Harvard football authorities to
abolish spring training, while it has
aroused considerable interest in college
athletic circles. is not likely to be fol-
lowed by the other institution teams. at
least not this season Until the Sridiron
code was revised during the winter OF
1905 there was a growing sentiment In
favor of doing away with spring foot
ball work. but now conditions nave
changed and the proposed move will he
delayed for at least one. and possibly
two years. When the rule makers. listen
ing TO the demand for radical change In
the playing code, finished their work the
result was such drastic revolution IN
the autumn sport that IL left the players
and coaches practically at sea regarding
the possibilities of the new rules. After
the close OF the 1906 playing season II
was the consensus OF opinion that Tue
full breadth and scope OF the game had
not been grasped by the average college
eleven and its advisers. Very few OF
the teams played the new game TO the
limit and there were many predictions
that open football play In 1907 would be
far more advanced than during the short
season just closed.
For this reason spring practice is con-
sidered an absolute necessity at many OF
the Eastern Snd Western universities. a
number Of the coaches realized when TOO
late last fall. that there was much that
they and their players did not Know about
the new game, and for this reason the
