Lee which I heard related few months
ago by Mr. William G. Stannard, the ac-
complished corresponding secretary of
the Virginia Historical Society, which has
occupied for many years the house, No.
7O7 East Franklin Street, in this city, the
same house that was occupied by General
Lee during the war and Tor sometime
after the war had ended.
"a few years ago an elderly gentleman
called at No. 707 and asked if that were
not General Lees former residence and
then proceeded to tell that he called IN
reverence to General Lees memory, stated
the following incident which will be given
in the first person.

war, was a Yankee settler here in Rich

home made blackberry wine from her
cape, said: Gen. Lee, we all know you
as a Gods temperance man, and we
love you for this. But you are weary.
This is pure blackberry wine three
years old. I've kept it hidden from
the Yankees. Now I beg that you
drink some of it. And this is solid

the Yankees also. Do please take of

"w;ne" has recently been published for
the first time. That General Lee was
total abstainer is well known by those
who know his history. Many stories of
his negative attitude toward alcoholic
liquors as beverage have been told and
printed. One of these is to the effect
that as he was starting out TO engage in
war a lady friend presented him with
bottle of fine brandy" This he politely
refused. 1t was pressed upon him, and to
avoid being charged with discourtesy TO
the fair sex" General Lee took the bottle
of brandy, remarking that if he found any
use for ii he would avail himself OF the
contents OF the bottle, but if not he would
return it. At the end OF the war, with
message of thanks and appreciation, ne
returned the bottle of brandy unopened.
Another story told about General Lee
is that one day, when president of the
Westinghouse University at Lexing-
ton. Virginia, he saw some of his students
stagger out of a saloon and down the
street He then very vigorously and en-
phatically protested against such traps
for his boys and said he thought that
some of the gentlemen interested IN the
weIare of the institution and the stu
dents ought to be busying themselves IN
helping to rid the community of the alco-
holic temptations 10 youth.
But the new story which We now pre-
sent to the readers of American Issue
was first published in The Religious Her
add the Baptist weekly in Virginia. 1t is
in the form of letter addressed to the
editor by Rev. DR.. B. w. n. Simms,
native OF Virginia, but now resident OF
Waxahatchie, Texas. A picture OF Doc
tor Simms holding the silver cup OF
which he speaks appears on this page.
There is also a picture of General Lee on
his famous horse Traveller" which no
doubt he was riding when he made the
stop at the home of DIR. Simms' father.
The letter is as follows:
"Reminiscences of Lee

Judge Grinnan's Letter

AS an interest climax to the story of
the silver cup is another letter sent to
The Religious Herald by Judge Daniel
Grinnan concerning man from the
North. He tells story which we are
sure our readers will be glad to have in
this connection. The letter of Judge
Grinnan speaks for itself:

regard to General Robert Z. Lee in the

BATTLES OFFICERS

JACKSON, Tenn, Nov. 26:-CR
Officers today investigating the dis
covery of the bodies of two young
men in a small automobile, in what
they termed one of the most battling
mysteries Of several years. The car
was found parked on a highway near
Henderson.
The men were identified as George
Seat and George Hale Of Humboldt,
Tenn, near here.
The bodies were in an upright posi-
ton in the front seat of the car with
bullet wounds in the back Of their
heads.
Sheriff 3. F. Weir, investigating
the deaths, announced that he found
no clue to account for the tragedy.
He said no weapons had been located
and from the position of the bodies
it would have been impossible for the
men 10 have shot each other.

rfble malady which is the
result of colds, exposure,
over-exertion, neglect, or
any other condition which
creates a drain on the wom-
anly system. Catarrh at
tacks the delicate mucous
lining of the female organs
very easily, but women have
found much difficulty in
causing this dread disease
to release its grip.
Today, however, the phe-
nomenal success of st. Jo-
seph's G.. F. P. in restoring
health, happiness and buoy
ancy to thousands or girls
and women, is proving that
all women can now depend
on this marvellous medicine
to overcome and stamp out
Catarrh of the Female Or
gans, and thus relieve them
from the untold misery and
pain brought about by the
failure of the female organs
to perform their natural
functions.
Among the many Texas
mothers who are having
their anxiety removed by
seeing G. F. P. restore
health and vigor to their
frail and nervous daughters
is Mrs. J. G. Jones of Del
Rio, who says: "My daugh-
ter came into womanhood at
thirteen, but was never
regular, and she suffered so
much each month from
headaches and pains in the
back that l was worried
about her all the time.
"Then my sister in San
Antonio wrote me that it
was wonderful what G.. F.
P. is doing there for so
many girls just coming into
womanhood. and suggested
that / try it for Annie. /
her taking G.. F. P.
and it is hard to believe how
it is helping my little
girl. She is as happy and
well now as any child could
be, and never has any more
trouble with her head and
back. I heartily recommend
G. F. P. to every mother
who is distressed about her
daughter at this important
period in a girls life."

Ii With what keen inter-
bet we watch the gradual
development of a healthy,

her voice becomes softer

form becomes fuller and
more pleasing in prepara-
ton for her future life.

On the other hand, we
observe with disappoint-

unnatural pallor and the
suffering and embarrass-
ment of the unfortunate
girl who reveals by these
