LEES STATUE AND THE G. A. 3.


1t seems thst some Of The Army Posts
OF the G. A. r. are opposed TO the Pla:'
ing of General B. E. Lee's statue 10
Sta,uaty II ,ll, with the usual honors.
1t is q matter OF history that the citlz'ns
of Oorinth on one occasion sent word to
ScIpio Ahicsnus, the great Roman com
uaoder, that they proposed to place bis
statue in their "Temple OF Fame" with
the statues OF other commanders. Scipio
said 10 reply, "that be did not like such
comrades." Now that Is my feeling, ss
Q Vrgnisn, as It regards placing the
s.stoe Cf General Lee 10 S.stnsry Halp
where there are % many statues OF OBJ.
scure men and which may be regarded
IS "Foud attempt to give q dsathlesS
lot to names iguoble born to be forgot. !"
Nov, as the member, Of L,e Camp, will
meet On tho ~ b instant to honcr Ger.
Lees birthday, permit me to suggest
that they frsne a petition 10 the legis-
lstuTe nov In session, rcqueIting them
to have Lees statue removed at once
from "5lstuary II 'lr' and placed upon
a pedestal In the city OF AleXaudrs,
where 1t will be daly honored by ell the
cIiz,ns macy OF whom, now living had
the honor of bis acqnsintauce. Gen.

Bashful SWANS Mistake,

A quiet, bashful sort of a young fell
low was making a call on a Capitol
Hill girl one evening no very long ago,
when her father came into the parlor
with his watch in his hand. 1t was
abou o 80 O'Clock. At the the
young man was standing on a chair
Strengthening a picture over the piano.
The girl had asked him to fix it. As he
turned the old gentleman, a gruff, stout
fellow. said:
Young a do you know what time
it lisp"
The bashful youth got of his chair
nervously.
"Yes, sir" he replied. 81 was just
going"
He went out into the hall without
any delay and took his hat and coat.
The girls father followed him. As the
caller reached ior the door knab the old
gentlemen again asked him if he knew
what time it was.
Yes, sir" was the youths reply.
"Good night"
And he lett without waiting to put
his coat on.
After the door was closed the old
gentlemen turned to the girl.
Whats the matter with that fell
low" he asked. My watch ran down
this afternoon and l wanted him to tell
me the time so that l could set it."

A Serious Mistake.

A London clothier was never known
to acknowledge that he didn't have
anything a customer might ask Tor. One
day a customer entered the shop and
asked if he had any trouser made espe-
cially for one-legged men.
Certainly" replied the merchant.
"What kind do you want?"
Dress pants" said the man, "the
best you've got"
Hurrying to the rear of the shop, the
enterprising merchant snatched a pair
of trousers and shipped off the right leg
with a pair of shears. Hastily turning
the edges he presented them to the Gus
toner.
That's the kind I want. What's the
price?"
Thirty shillings."
"Well, give me a pair with the left leg

A month later, the clothier was pro-
nounced convalescent.-London Globe.
