the President he said:
Il heard of Woodrow Wilson some

Alderman of the University of Virginia

Thomas Jefferson was unveiled, and was

spoke of Woodrow Wilson in the highest

Woodrow Wilson would probably be the
next President. They were amazed how
l got such an idea and said that they
could think of nothing more improbable.

such an idea.

Another Prophecy True.

Another prophecy-and this was my
own-came true in rather curious way.
Ambassador and Mrs. O'Brien and I were
discussing one day just after the election
of Wilson who would be the next ambas
sador to Italy. I suggested that thought
it would be Thomas Nelson Page. the
wish being father to the thought, as I
had known and loved Page for many
years and had often been his guest, with
out having much idea that so desirable a
consummation would ensue. You may
imagine my delight when l heard that my
old friend was really coming to Italy. 1t
makes it very delightful for me to have
the Pages there. as you may suppose"
At seventeen Moses Ezekiel went to
Virginia Military Institute, Lexington.
From there, in 1864. he marched with the
225 cadets the 90 miles to Newmarket" :"

What the Confederate memorial means
as told briefly by the sculptor himself,
follows:
The intention is that it is peace
monument Without forgetting the sacri-
fees and the heroism of the south and
emphasizing the fact that we were fight
ing for constitutional right and not to
uphold slavery. l have attempted to have
the dominant idea the future and not the
past, that the intention of the south is to
rest the future on her industry and her
agriculture and let the past go, but not
be forgotten.
with this idea, the large figure at the
top represents the south, one hand hold
ing a wreath for the past, but with the
right hand resting on the handles of a
plow. The smaller figures below repre-
sent the sacrifices, the devotion. the hero
ism of all classes of the south in uphold
ing and lighting for what they passion
ately believed to be the right On the
base of the monument are the words:

CORRECTED BY A SENTRY.
The Incident Which Led to coIeridss
Retiring From the Army.

In his young days the poet COleridge
had little love affair which ended in
disaster, for the lady refused him. In
despair he enlisted in n cavalry regi-
ment. which he hoped would be or
dered on foreign service. that he might
end his blighted career on the tented
field For family reasons he dropped
his correct name, but from feeling of
sentiment retained the initials, so Sam
uel Taylor Coleridge became Private
Silas Tompkns Camberhatch.
The regiment did not leave the coun-
try, and it was not long before his soul
wearied OF barrack life and its utter
absence of romance. His military life
ended in curious fashion One day
while Coleridge was doing weary
sentry go two officers strolled past.
One of them made use of Greek quo
tation. which the other corrected The
first insisted on his correctness, while
the other was just as positive he was
wrong.
While they disputed, the sentry sud
denly presented arms and respectfully
informed them that they were both in
error. He gave the exact quotation,
name of the author and other circum-
stances. If his musket had spoken the
hearers could not have been more as
tonished. The incident led to an in
