orders and that as result, the Amer.
lean army was retreating.
Washington took in the situation at

I'm heavens name, General" he
shouted what means this ill-timed
pruCence?"
II know of no one" sneered Lee,
>who has more Of that abominable
Virtue than your excellency"
At this retort the last barriers of
Washington's patience gave way. He
hurled at Lee public reprimand that
the latter never forgot nor forgave.
1t was a case Of just mans wrath
at blackguards misdeeds.
Charles Lee was born in England in
ISL. He joined the British army as
mere child. At the age of eleven
he was a commissioned officer. He
fought in America during the French
and Indian war and rose fast in rank
to lieutenant-colonelcy. But he had
a sarcastic tongue and an ungovern'
able temper. He criticised his supe-
rior officers and made fun Of their
weaknesses. This sort Of thing does
not help a man on in any walk of life.
1t led at last to Lees practical dis
missal from the army. He drifted to
Poland and Russia, where, serving as
soldier Of fortune, he received the
rank of major-general. He also won
doubtful fame as ferocious duelist.
Leaving Russia, Lee made his way
to America short time before the
Revolution He hated England and he
loved intrigue. So he plunged into
the stirring politics of the day, siding
with the patriots. The Revolutionary
army was short of experienced Off.

For Soiied Coat Collars.

To clean coat collars try the follow
ing way: Instead Of a cloth, which
has to be kept in motion for a long
while to avoid leaving a ring in place
of a spot, use an old tooth brush. Dip
it into the naphtha until thoroughly
saturated, then a few Brisk rubs and
the spot or CRIME has left for parts
unknown. The most delicate velvet
can be cleaned in this way, though II
would not be advisable to use brush
on any fabric like satin.
