to send i'm an alarm the man rushed
into the backyard of the Boston store
and began throwing the infalmmable
material away from the building ana
then stamped out the remaining blaze.
Later the same man appeared at the

Sullivan of the blaze An investiga-
ton showed that the fire had UNI
doubtedly been set by some one. The
very nature of the fire was such as to
preclude reasonable doubt that ii had

STORIES OF GENERAL LEE.
Incidents Which Show Different
Phases of Life of Great Confederate.

In view of the fuss which has been
made over the acceptance of the sta
tue of General Robert +. Lee by Con-
gress. the following stories of the great
confederate chieftain are interesting
and timely
When General Lee had been in
formed by General Gordon that his
army had been wasted to a fragment
and that he could no longer resist the
enemy. Lee said: There is nothing left
but to go to General Grant. and
would rather die thousand deathsi"
And then for the first time during the
war. he sank into a fit of deep des-
pondency. in which he said: How easy
could get rid OF this. and be at rest.
I have only to ride along the line. and
all will be Overt"
He was silent for a short time after
uttering these words; then, with a
heavy sigh. added: But it is our duty
To live"
After the surrender, however. he set
himself cheerfully to the task of fill
ing out, with usefulness and honor. the
days that remained 10 him. He who
during the war, had never been heard
to say an unkind thing about the
northern people. after it did everything
in his power, by precept and example,
to allay sectional bitterness and en-
courage loyalty to the government Of
the United States.
While he was president of Washing
ton college-which position he accepted
al the close of the way-a woman
whose husband had been killed in the
confederate army. brought her two
sons to him. Thinking she would have
a listener in sympathy with her. she
INDUCED in bitter TRADE against the
north. and to her surprise. the general
gently said: Madam, do not train up
your children i'm hostility To the gov
eminent of the United States. Remem-
Der that we are one country now Dis
miss from your mind all sectional feel
ing and bring them up to be Ameri-
cans"
With this freedom from bitterness
his spirit went step further in it's
superb magnanimity, as illustrated in
this incident. told by a gentleman Of
the north:
"One day last autumn. the writer
saw General Lee standing at his gate
man. who seemed very much pleased
at the cordial courtesy of the great
chieftain, and turned off evidently de-
lighted as we came up. After exchang-
ing salutations, the general said, point
ing to the retreating form: That is one
of our old soldiers. who is in necessit-
Gus circumstances took it for
granted that it was some veteran con-
federate. when the noble Chieftain
quietly added: He fought on the 9TH
er side. but we must not think of that
afterward ascertained-not from
General Lee-for he never alluded to
his charities-that he had not only
spoken kindly to this old soldier who
had fought on the other side but had
sent him on his way rejoicing in a lib
eral contribution to his necessities"
A man of much mental ability. such
military genius, such religious devotion
such kindness of spirit. such magma
nimity of soul, will have permanent
place i'm the respect and affection of all
true Americans.-LOuisville Times.

APPRECIATION OF BEAUTY.

The assertion was made recently by
a well known teacher of art that few
persons have a true. idea of color.
To correct this fault, for certainly
fault it is. he recommended that the
individual secure a sample book of
cOlors and shades, such as many man
ufacturers have for distribution, and
with these as guide. identify the
cOlors, tints and shades found i'm
the common things such as a stone.
a dried leaf or a board. This meth
cd. he said. would make ones eye
keener in the perception of color
beauty.
For the better perception Of the
beauty of form, the study of leaves
