cd to the rank of major general and ordered to the southwest. He was then assigned to the Army of the Ten. nessee with the rank of lieutenant general, and served until the close of hostilities.
 At the close of the war General Lee devoted himself to the education of southern youth as president of the Mississippi agricultural and mechanical college.
 On the death of General John B. Gordon General Lee was unanimously chosen commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, and was always the most conspicuous figure at reunions.
 At the time of his death General Lee was ranking officer of the Con. federacy. Two other lieutenant-gen- erals of the Confederacy still survive. They are General Alexander P. Stew. art of Tennessee and General Simon Bolivar Buckner of Kentucky, but by virtue of the precedence of his com. mission General Lee outranked both these.
 General Lee was one of the South Carolina Lees. He was born in that state in 1883 He received an ap, pointment to the United States mill tary academy at West Point, and grad uated at that institution, receiving a commission in artillery At the out | break of the civil war General Lee resigned his commission in the United States army and entered the Confed eracy. He served with the Confed crate army in Virginia until after the battle of Antietam, when he was made brigadeir general.
 Just before his death he was making preparations for the reunion next month at Birmingham, and had com pleted the task of assigning command CTS and sponsors for those positions which are appointive on such occa | sions.
 General Lee held under the United States government the office of com missioner of the Vicksburg nationa military park. It is in this park that several handsome monuments were unveiled by Iowa and Wisconsin vet erans recently.
 After serving for a number of years as president of the Mississippi agri cultural and mechanical college Gen Lee resigned that position and moved from Starkville. Miss, the seat of the institution, to Columbus, which was his home at the time of his death. LEES DEATH ANNOUNCED.

New Yorker Saw Beauty In Sign,
Where Maiden Lady Could Not.

A party of tourists was being shown
around Ciudad Juaroz, the little Mexi-
can town just across the Rio Grande
from lei Paso, Texas. Every one was
delighted with its picturesqueness
and in particular maiden lady, who
went into raptures about each new
sight.
1T is all so quaint" she said. These
adobe houses, the old church. the mar.
row streets, the little plaza, those
dreadGul.looking men wearing SOM
breros; everything breathes the spir-
1t of an old.world civilization. 1t is
so different from our United States"
That's So" asscntod a New York
man who had been listening. For
instance. where In all the world could
you find anything so antique, so full
of inherent beauty, so charged, as 1t
were, with the essence of pure Joy, as
that sign over there" He pointed
toward whitewashed mud house on
whose exterior was painted:

Then she froze the horrid man with

again during the whole trip.

sERMONETTE.

Not the least valuable legacy
which a father leaves a child is
the friends he has made. Gold
and silver, houses and lands are
as nothing in comparison with
the true and loyal friend who
stands ready to show that kind
ness and bestow that wise coun-
sci which is like unto that which
the father himself would have
given.
"Hiram was ever lover of
David" This strong, close friend
ship is the best kind of an in
dex to the character and ideals
of this man, Hiram, king of
Tyre. There can be no ques-
ton but that this friendship was
based entirely upon the quail
ties of goodness, and manhood
and honor characteristic Of
both men, rather than upon
selfish motives of political or
material advantage. to be gained.
1t has been said most truth
. fully that "true friendships are
made in heaven" And surely
on this friendship which exist
ed between this king of Tyre
and King David we find the
brand mark of heaven. 1t was
of that enduring kind which
when the father was gone was
transferred with warm-hearted
loyalty to the son.
This, then, is the first point
we would emphasize: The en-.
during quality Of true friend
ship. What kind of friendship
Is that which fits like the SUM-
beam and is gone when the
cloud arises and darkness and
trouble conner Who is worthy
the name of friend who let's the
dark valley fix the limits of that
friendship? Friend to the ia.
ther-friend to the children!
And so we find Hiram sending
the message of consolation and
cheer to the young King Solo,
mon when he hears of the death
of his old friend King David.
The friendship for the father
shall be perpetuated in friend
ship for the son. Hiram will
prove how true his friendship
to David was by showing kind
ness and encouragement to King
Solomon.
And the other point we would
emphasize is the appreciation of
the son for his fathers friend.
Young man! Young woman!
Had you a worthy father or
mother? Then cherish as
earth's best treasure for you the
loyal, true friends they left be-
hind. No new friendships you
can form will prove so loyal and
true as those which your par
ents tested through the storms
and sunshine of their busy
lives. CIeave to them, and form
the new friendships slowly, test
Ing and proving so that you in
turn will have the rich legacy
} of tried and true friendships to
leave to your children. Too
often children cast ruthlessiy
aside the friends parents have
won to themselves through the
, years.
What splendid picture we
have here of this young, inexpe-
rienced King Solomon finding in
in his fathers friend an adviser
and helper in the great and
noble enterprise which was to
mark his reign.
Young man, you cannot do
! better than to make the friend
of your father your friend.
