away from her domestic duties to

town, and. dressed in her best. she
stood on the roadside, waiting for a
trolley car to take her to the moving
picture show.
Are you going alone. Mrs. Old

the additional elegance and condo

possible that she can complete her

me. But never repine at loneliness,
and these moving picture shows get
ones mind SO excited that one can't
hardly help thinking OF anything else.

LEES IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN
Great southerner's High Ideals Shown
BY Memorandum Found Among
His Papers.

Lee hated parade. display and cere,
mony, hated above all things being
made an object Of public gaze and ad
ulation. declares writer in the AT
lantic His idea of high position was
high responsibility: a superior was
simply one who had larger duties. and
the mark OF a gentleman was keen
sense OF the feelings and susceptible
ties of others.
No one has ever expressed This at
titude more delicately than he him
self in memorandum found among
his papers after his death.
THE forbecring use of power does
not only form a touchstone. but the
manner In which an individual enjoys
certain advantages over others is a
test Of true gentleman.
THE power which the strong have
over the weak. the magistrate over the
citizen. the employer over the employ.
ed. the educated over the unlettered.
the experienced over the conhdlps,
even the clever over the silly-the for.
bearing or inoffensive use OF all this
power or authority or a total absti.
nence from 1t when the case admits II
will show the gentleman in plain
light.
The gentleman does not needlessly
and unnecessarily remind an offender
OF wrong he may have committed
against him. He cannot only forgive
be can forget; and he strives for thai
nobleness of self and mildness o.
character which impart sufficient
strength to let the past be but tn,
past. true man OF honor feels hum
bled himself when he cannot hell

In 1851 the country needed men

Illinois, New York and all other
states of the north and west. These
men We're then not old and bent as
they are today. They We're mostly
boys. Some of them were under the
legal age for enlistment and had to
have their parents consent to go or
else fake a year or two onto their
ages. Even the officers were young
men, for the most part. In the north

by the heroism Of the southern wo-

shown in the battle reports.
For four long years the two armies
fought it out and when the end came
all were ready to quit. Ever since
that time the northerners and the
southerners have had deep respect for
