Moliie's Captain.

"a true story.)
Down in the apple orchard,
There was trysting tree.
Where Mollie met her captain
Whenever that might be.
One day he left for battle,
At Gettysburg to fight,
The Yankees shot his leg of.
And captured him at night.
And when the war was over
And prisoners were free,
He hunted for his sweetheart
Beneath their apple tree.
That night he found her waiting:
Tho moon was shining bright.
She told him how she waited
And came there every night.
And when she saw his leg was of:
She said: "Oh, Rayner, surei
] love you now with one leg gone
More than I did before"
And 80 for fifty years and more
She's loved her captain true,
And still they meet beneath their tree
As lovers used to do.

A Good Man Gone Wrong.

Io the Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
, Sir,-Every patriotic person must
agree with your editorial In SUNDAYS
issue In regard TO Senator La Toilette.
YET II should not be forgotten that he
. ias performed valuable services to his
STATE and nation In the past. He re-
deemed wisconsin from one OF the
worst political rings that ever plum
dered State. He was largely respon-
sioie for inaugurating there reforms
Ina nave spread all over the country.
When he entered the United States SEN
atc ettorts were made to browbeat and
maze him. but he stuck to his post and
gained commanding position in that
body. while many Of his opponents
we're driven into oblivion. In the work
OF giving virility to the Interstate
commerce Commission and in the reyi-
sion OF the tariff along democratic lines
ne ne did heroic work: It is all the moro
lamentable that he should now be-
taking a. stand, apparently so out OF
keeping with the patriotism which ne
showed 80 valiantly in times Of peace.

Mrs. L. d. L., Wfnchester.-St. Au-

ish rule. although In 1886 1t was plum
dered by. Drake. The population In

The anniversary of the death OF Matthew
Fontafne Maury, which occurred forty-four
years ago. recalls the praiseworthy efforts of
the association bearing his name to raise
funds to erect a monument to his memory.
No Virginian has left such a record OF
scientific achievement, yet 1t has not been
adequately commemorated. 1t is fitting that
the school children should be permitted to
contribute to his memorial. Pupils of the
present day may not know much Of him, but
there are few Nirgnians of middle life who
did not make his acquaintance in their geo
graphical studies, and his name is among the
treasures OF their childhood memories

The Republican, platform adopted at the
recent Roanoke Convention declares for the
education OF women at the University Of Vir-
fginia upon equal terms with men. Twenty
nve years ago the same suggestion was made
IN the Legislature but 1t met with such vigor-
Gus opposition on the part OF the alumni that
1T was speedily dropped. The plan of CO.
ordinate college at the university, SO much
discussed In recent years, and which was de-
1eated at two recent sessions OF the General
Assembly by narrow margins, was opposed
iby"a number of Republicans, among them the
present candidate for Lieutenant G overnor.

The numerous county and intercounty fairs
being held Throughout the State afford an en-
cellent opportunity for keeping the minds of
the people refreshed as to the causes OF the
war and for stimulating a general patriotic
spirit. In every speakers of ability

the public in cooperating with the govern
ment In It's efforts to finance this stupendous
struggle and to provide for the physical
mental and spiritual needs OF the men in the

will be constantly at work to prejudice public

IL may be fairly assumed that the Supreme
