On one occasion we remember a
bunch of college boys. who gathered
'at railway station to shake hands
with president of the United
States. After it was all over and
they had separated from the seething
crush of humanity and returned to
the dormitory one OF the boys re-
marked that the president had act
ually said something to M -,
one of their number.
What did he say?" of course was
the natural question.
He said Look out sonny you'll
get hurt was the surprising dis.
closure.
We remember a similar incident
related by a Civil War veteran. A
certain soldier in one of Stonewall
Jackson's divisions had as one of his
greatest ambitions the desire to ex,
change some words with the general
in the way of conversation. So one
day as Jackson came riding down by
the lines of soldiers this man step
ped out with the query:
Where do we camp tonight gen,
eral?"
Right over there''-and Jackson
indicated the spot.
The questioner returned to the
ranks of the other soldiers comment
ing on the satisfaction he felt at the
attainment of his great ambition.
AS we think of this incident we
sometimes wonder if the feeling that
Lee and Jackson excited in the
breasts of their followers would be
possible under present conditions
Politicians we have to be sure who
sway men their way against ali
reasonable arguments, but it is in a
different way from the impulses that
thrilled the heart of "Marse Bob's
boys" We sometimes wonder if the
relations that existed between Lee
and Jackson and their men. is pos
sible in anything except in the old
