n. Y Journal. It is an authentic tradition
in the Lee family that Washington re-
garded the brilliant Young cavalry officer
almost In the light of a son.
Lee was inclined to be a spendthrft.
and his lavish use of money often brought
on him the paternal reproof OF his Older
and more discreet friend-and the reproof
was often followed by affeetionate as.
sistance in extrieating him from embar-

Mrs. Washington was almost equally
fond of the Young officer. who often made
long visits at Mount Vernon. During one
OF his soiourns there. Hurry Lee remarked
to his host at the breakfast table:
General l had a singular dream last
night. which I must tell YOU. I actually
dreamed that you had made me a present

SAYS the Boston Herald
This is what has happened and is

large part of the island has become
excited over the comparatively new in

plenty more is predicted.

ernment had a special representative in
the island investigating the conditions un-
der which the foxes are raised. Most
of the black fox skins that have come into
the European market of late years have
come from Russia. and il Is believed that
ranches similar to those on the Canadian
island may be started in Russia on the
strength of the investigators report.
Up to the present the ranchers of the
island have not tried TO enter the market
eXteusivly with furs. They have found
that from other places where ranches are
being started there is strong demand
for live foxes and practically all that are
raised are sold for breeding purposes
II Is expected that in about FIVE years
the industry will have reached a stage
where the ranches will be able TO supply
furs extensively and that then there viii
probably come drop in price, but not
one that will mean any serious loss in
profits to the ranChers.
