COULD NOT BUY LEE
Forty years ago Robert B. Lee was
offered the presidency of a northern
insurance company at a salary large
enough for those days. He wrote
that he hadn't the ability or the ex
perience to command such a salary.
He was told that his name was worth
it. "What influence I have with the
southern pepple is not for sale," said
L6e. That ended the negotiations.
Now Orleans State.
HOW PAPER IS MADE
William R. Stewart in his article on
"Paper and Its Manufacture" in the
October issue of the Technical World
magazine describes the process briefly
as follows:
"In its broad outline the process of
papermaking may be described as col
lecting the raw material (pulp,)
whether made from wood, rags or
. other substances, diluting with water,
.forming a sheet on a porous surface,
so that the water may drain off, ana
drying the sheet of paper tnus lormea.
Different materials are used for the
pulp to make the different grades of
paper, wood pulp being now used in
the manufacture of nearly all the fine
papers, rags for writing and other fine
paper, straw and manila- in making
wrapping papers, etc. But a large
amount of paper is given its distinc
tive character after it leaves the paper
mill by surface coatings with various
substances."
Power Without, Wit
"Do you helieve that knowledge is
power?" said Mr. Wiggs.
"I used to think so," answered Mr.
Waggs, "but I have observed that some
of our most powerful financiers are
distinguished by what they don't know
on the witness stand." Washington
