General Lees Reproof to a Captain
and a General.

General Lees Reproof to captain
and a General.
In the early part OF the war of Sc
cession, Col. A. c. Haskell Of South
Carolina, was attached to the staff OF
Gen. Maxcy Gregg, brigadier under
Stonewall Jackson. Gen. Gregg was so
offended at what he considered jack
sons favoritism towards another Of
ficer in preference to himself that he
wrote him a harsh letter and actually
lodged with Gen. Lee charges OF NAL
administration. After fruitless wait
ing, Gregg sent his aid, Capt. Haskell
to inquire as to Gen. Lees intentions.
1t was a raw, cold day late in 1862,
a chill dribbly rain falling, when the
very young captain rode up to Gen.
Lees headquarters. A number OF Of
ficers were seated about camp fire,
some with overcoats, some without,
Gen. Lee, perhaps from courteous con-
sideration, being among the latter
Young Haskell had just received
new overcoat from home, and as he
sat on his splendid horse, he evident
ly appeared to the general too consci-
Gus of his fine appearance and the
Importance of his mission. 1t was
Just the sort of occasion on which Gen.
Lee sometimes chose to teach a young
man a lesson.
Good morning, Capt. Haskell" he
ha
he continued in tones as icy as the
day: AT a time when so many of
the army are actually suffering for
want of protection, it is indeed
pleasure to see at least one man so
comfortably clothed
When the general had repeated his
sarcastic sentiment in several forms,
the crest-fallen captain enquired re-
spectfully:
Gen. Lee, may deliver my mes
sage?"
Certainly, Capt. Haskell" replied
the general, as he led the way into his
tent Closing the flap before the mes
senger could speak, Gen. Lee handed
him a bundle Of papers, with the
words:
Il know your mission, Capt. Has
kell Take these papers to Gen. Gregg
and say to him for me that this is
time when the public service cannot
afford personal disputes between two
such officers as Gen. Gregg and Gen.
jackson. Good morning, Capt. Has
kell"
After delivering the message and
papers to his superior, Capt. Haskell
walked out i'm search of some one in
need Of an overcoat. The first soldier
he met was a poor man from his own
neighborhood shivering in his jacket
John" said the captain, don't you
want nice overcoat?'
Before the man realized his meaning
the coat was upon his shoulders.
And" said Col. Haskell, in relating
the story. from that day to the end
of the war, never put an overcoat on
my back"
Gregg's grievance against Jackson
was soon healed by the great peace
maker. Not long afterwards. while
rendering heroic service at FrederickS-
burg, he was mortally wounded. About
midnight he sent an officer to Jack
sons tent with the message that he
was dying, that he was sorry for some
expressions he had used n letter to
Gen. jackson, and that lie hoped he
would forgive him. Jackson immedi-
ately rode to the dying man. and all
hurt on either side was forgotten as
he kneeled beside the dying man and
kissed him.-D. D. Wallace. in South
ern Christian Advocate.

SEES BETTER USE FOR MONEY
McCracken Says There Will be No
Chance for Internal improvements.

Congressman Robert M. McCracken,
who is now in Washington preparing
to take up his duties the coming ses-
sion of congress, favors internal de-
velopment, such as good road con-
struction, rather than the expenditure
of vast sums Of money to increase the
army and navy. He is therefore in
favor Of constructing roads through
lGlacier National park, and so states
/ in communication to w. G. Ames,
secretary of the Standpoint CONNER
cial club. Congressman McCracken
|, believes however, that the demand
for large military expenditures will
overshadow demands for internal ex-
! penditures. His letter follows:
