GREAT CONFEDERATE LEADER
AS COLLEGE PRESIDENT.
Farmer Student Gives His Impressions
of ths General His Popularity
with the Ladies-Quelling
Insubordination.
Having been a student at Washing
wo couege, umngron, vs., irom oey
jtember, 1866, to June, 1869, while Gen.
jR. E. Lee was president of that insti
gation, I have been asked to describe
4he impression the great Confederate
Header, im his role of private gentie
man and educator, produced in the
jcollege, writes Dr. ,8. . Ammen, in
'the Baltimore Sun.
The task of describing Gen. Lee's
work at Lexington is difficult, because
jhls successes there were due chiefly
.to his personal influence. He did not
iteach, and thus did not often come
jlnto close relations with individual
students. Nor did he lecture or make
addresses on any subject for the edifi
jcatkm of the student, as a modern col
flags president would do. I do not re
member ever seeing him in a recita
jtlon room except on examination day,
jwhea he sometimes dropped in to lend
the weight of his presence to the im
iportanoe of the occasion. He did not,
!l believe, attend the alumni banquets
jduring commencement week, and it is
impossible to Imagine Gen. Lee re
;Sponding to a toast. He was not in
(the least convivial was, in fact, a
itotal abstainer." He looked after
,the general administration of the col
lege, enforced discipline and superin
tended, in a large way, the initiation
of improvements on the college cam
pus. He directed, for example, the
construction of the stone chapel in
which he now lies, and Baltimoreans
have noted that the foundation walls
of the chapel are of the same massive
construction as Fort Carroll, the build
ing of which Gen. Lee superintended
before the civil war.
I The college boys seldom met the
.president face to face. They some
times encountered him on the campus
!la the morning when he came to his
losses for the day's work and were
jgratlfied- to receive his salutation.
Many of the students were sons of
losscers whom 'Gen. Lee had known
is the army. These he might stop
land question, asking after the health
of bis old comrades. Rarely there was
!a bit of pleasantry, as, for example,
ibis remark one rainy day to T. A.
!Ashby: "A good day for ducks." The
general was not witty, but had a
slender vein of humor, which found
.expression in brief phrases.
I It may not be amiss to say that Gen.
'Lee's popularity with the young ladies
jot Lexington. excited no little envy
among the students. The girls had an
junbltion to "have it to say" that Gen.
iLee had kissed them. As the general
iwaa gallant enough to avail himself of
'tins weakness, there were instances
jthat were harrowing- enough to the
Ifselraga of students who happened to
jss in love with some one of Lexing
ton's pretty girls. The dears not only
idid sot conceal their partiality to the
but boasted of it to lovers to
they denied like favors! I re-
call an instance of this dignified oscu
latioeTon the highway In the suburbs
where I boarded. I hasten to say that
I was not acquainted with the young
;lady. She. was awfully pretty, and
jthe student, agreed that in this case
ithsy would have done the same, had
ithey enjoyed he general's opportunity.

prove that however stern he might

Lee inspired that opposition to his ex

Ths Right View.
A regiment of regulars was making
a long, dusty march across the rolling
prairie land of Montana last summer.
It was a hot, blistering day and the
men, longing for water and rest, were
impatient to reach the next town.
A rancher rode past.
"Say, friend," called out one of the
men, "how far Is it to the next town?"
. "Oh, a matter of two miles or so, I
reckon," called back the rancher. An
other long hour dragged by, and an
other rancher was encountered.
"How far to the next town?" ths
men asked him eagerly.
"Oh, a good two miles."
A weary half-hour longer of march
ing, and then a third rancher.
"Hey, how tar's the next town?"
"Not far," was the encouraging an
swer. "Only about two miles."
"Well." sighed an optimistic ser
geant, "thank God, we're holdln our
own, anyhow!" Everybody's Mag
azine. HUMAN FOOT NOT BEAUTIFUL.
Ordinary Pedal Extremity Ugly, Says
Man of Experience.
5 "For subtle flattery, the kind of flat
tery calculated to make you puff up
like a pouter pigeon," remarked a
plain-spoken man, "I ran across some
thing hi one of the New York news
papers the other day that beat me. A'
boot and shoe dealer was announcing
by means of an advertisement that he
had a new variety of shoe designed to
restore 'collapsed and shrunken In?
steps, round them up, raise and arch
them until they assumed their normal
'shape.' I'd like to hear what would
-make an instep collapse or shrink un
less you dropped a ten-pound weight
on it from the top of a tall building.
First and last, In'novels historical and
other, I've read considerable about
ihigh, dainty, aristocratic insteps; but
I never saw one that wasn't made by
a bridge in the boot or shoe; and I've
worked in a Turkish bath.
"Tears ago, when father cut me off
lor becoming engaged to the daughter
of a livery stable keeper, I waited on
the patrons of a Turkish bath, and I
jknow that bare feet on men and worn

flook at Trilby may have had toler
able feet in the sense that they were
freefrom knobs and tender places
.and plasters, but there was so much
hypnotism in that studio she affected
that you can't believe all that was
said about her. Human feet are as
flat as boarding house griddle-cakes;
and the only difference between the
feet of white folks and those of the
colored race in the matter of shape is
.that the former begin' at the heel."
FIE ON THE TEDDY BEAR.
'Assertion That Its Popularity Is
Menace to Human Race.
! An.old gentleman who enjoys worry
ing over the future of the race has
just found some new and valuable
material. He has discovered that the
maternal instinct is threatened with
extinction by the introduction of the
Teddy bear as a plaything for little
'girls. It is going to do more toward
;maklng mothers scarce, he avers, than
did ever woman's entrance into the in
dustrial field. This alarming sign of
the times was brought to his atten
tion the other day while sitting In the
park watching some little girls at
play. He observed they were all hug
ging Teddy bears. Not a doll was to
be seen.
"Do you like bears better than
dolls?" he asked a bright little maid
of eight or nine.
"Oh, yes sir," aha answered prompt
ly. . "And why?"
"Oh, 'cause, dolls are too much trou
ble. They were always telling me I
must make a new dress for dolly,
or wash her face, or put her to bed at

Ths Bloomer Costume.
A portrait in a magazine shows us
s very old lady in a curious costume.
Her legs are attired in orthodox trou
sers but over them she wears a short
skirt to the knees. Above this again
is a cape fastened at the neck with a
large brooch. What is this strange
figure? Why, the last of the famous
"Bloomer Brigade!" Her name is Su
san Fowler and she lives at Vineland
N. J. She has worn this costume for
40 years, is now 80, and lives all alone,
scorning the help of man. One cannot
but admire the dauntless old lady in
thus sticking to her principles. It is
only a question of time when women's
clothes will be radically reformed.
Could anything be more ' ridiculous,
more inartistic and more unhealthy
than woman's present costume? Trail
ing skirts, too tight bodices, stiff col
lars, absurd head-gear nothing beau
tiful, nothing useful about any part of
it Montreal Herald.
His Business Judgment Faulty.
"Yes," said the publisher of art cat
alogues and artistic advertising de
vices, "I have done well the past year
and expect to do better in the future.
Sometimes I make a mistake, how
ever, that makes me feel a little tired.
Not long ago our firm wished to re
produce in catalogue and card form a
painting that appeared in one of the
magazines. I called on the artist to
buy the right r She wanted S400. It
was more than I was willing to pay,
so I offered her a royalty instead.
She accepted, and we have already
had to pay her $18,000, with the, de
mand for the picture increasing every
hour. An, experience like that keeps
a man fairly humble regarding the
infallibility of bis business judgment"

"Invest" said Goldgobs, "but never

"But what precisely is the differ

"between an investment and a spec

The Wolf In Switzerland.
Apart from the evidence of Its pres
ence in the age of pile dwellings,, the
earliest reference to the wolf In Switz
erland is In a decree of Charlemagne
"of about the end of the eighth cen
tury. From this time to the latter
part of the fourteenth cenutry the rec
ords are exceedingly scanty, but dur
ing the next tree centuries they be
come very common and show the
strenuous fight against the marauder
which had to be maintained by the in
habitants, and' the part which it play
ed in their superstitious ideas. A
striking fact is its abundance at the
beginning of the seventeenth century,
which is explained as resulting from
the devastation of the Thirty Years
War. With the end of that century
the period of its greatest abundance
closed,, and from 'hence onward it be
gins gradually to disapear, the hut
wolf having been killed In Lucerne
in 1865, while the western frontier
districts continued to suffer from its
ravages until quite a recent date. The
extermination of the animal has only
been made possible by the introduc
tion of modern weapons. Georgaphic

VALUE OF THE FAMILY BIBLE.
Will Bs Hard to Get Historical Data If
It Disappears.
Professor Frederick Starr, head of
the anthropology department of ths
University of Chicago, in relating to
his class some of his experiences in
ths Congo incidentally called attention
to the fact that the old-fashioned fam
ily bible, with Its birth and death rec
ords, was rapidly disappearing from
homes in civilized countries.
"In not one-half the families to-day
were we able to get the exact age
and place of birth and other desired
data," he said. "It is even more diffi
cult to get such information in Africa.
I think If the Bible, or some such book
as the old-fashioned Bible of the civi
lised home existed these historical
facta would be the more easily learned,
and of course the moral influence
would be greater."
Professor Starr also called atten
tion' to the motto of the Congo Free
.State "Labor and Progress." The
motto, he said, was well known among
the natives, young and old.
1 "It Is notorious here that few Amer
icans know the motto of their own
state," concluded Professor Starr.
Barred Monopolists.
On a recent occasion "down south"
three little negroes, Moses, Jackson
and Timmy, srere called into "the
house" by "Marse" John, who bad
owned their grandfather. He Informed
them that he would give ten bright
new cents to the one of them who
would tell him what were the three
bast things la the world. The coins
were placed on a table and the white
man held out three straws of different
lengths, the boy who should draw the
longest straw to have the first say.
Timmy, the happy winner of this
straw, was asked:
"Well, what, are the three best
things in the world?"
Without a' moment's hesitation hs
answered unctuously:
1 knows. The three bestest things
in do wort am possum 'n sweet 'taties
V gravy."
Moses and Jackson made a simul
taneous grab for the money and made
off with it one of them shouting back
in a belligerent tone:
"He ain't gwlne to hab de money,
too, for dem's all de bestest things In

Old British Battleships.
A writer in the Manchester Guard
ian has just pointed out that the Brit
annia, which has recently joined the
fleet at Gibraltar, is only the fourth
English battleship of that name. The
first was built in Charles IL's reign,
about the time that he also introduced
ths Britannia into our coinage, as the
Omlce Window remarked a few days
ago. The second Britannia fought at
Trafalgar; the third in the Black sea
in 1864, since when we have had no
ship of that name until now. An old
list of ships of the queen's navy, made
in 1876, should suggest some new
names to as now. The Bonaventure
was one. There was the Elizabeth
Jonas, "a name devised by her grace
in remembrance of her deliverance
from her enemies, as was the prophet
Jonah delivered from the belly of the
whale;" there was the Tiger, "so-called
of her exceeding swiftness and nim
bleness, of course," and the Mary
Rose, the Bark of Bullen, the Hand
maid, the Antelope, the White Bear,
the Genet the Achates and the Dread
not London Chronicle.

WITH PAT MAN'S QUARTER.
Two Damsels Left the Car, and He
Uttered No Protest
A corpulent man wfth a red face
went to Coney island one day and sat
In the cross seat of an open car In
front of two stout German women. In
searching for a nickel to pay his fare,
he dropped a quarter, which rolled al
most under the dress of one of the
women.
He realized that he might make a
spectacle of himself if he attempted
to pick up the quarter, so he decided:
to wait until she and her friend got
out. Meanwhile he took an occasion
al glance at the coin.
The women found themselves at
their station unexpectedly, and In
their hurry to get out, one of thdm
knocked her handkerchief, which was
weighted with something, on the back
of the fat man's seat. A corner of
the handkerchief dropped and let out
a shower of jingling silver.
The owner knelt and began col
lecting the coins, while her friend
urged her to hurry. The man gave a
sigh of relief when he saw that the
woman had not noticed his quarter.
Just then, however, the other woman
observed it
"Katrina," she said, "you have not
all dot schange got Look! Dere is a
quvarter."
Katrina, with an effort, stooped and
picked it up, and she and her friend
rushed from the car. The fat man,
who saw the futility of protest under
the peculiar circumstances, sighed re
gretfully and sadly watched them go.

Children's Companions.
Every mother has more or less of s
problem on her hands in the matter of
her children's companions, and it la
sometimes a delicate affair to avoid
Pharisaism, ill-feeling between neigh
bors, and the spirit of antagonism at
home, in an effort to prevent undesir
able intimacies. Little children are
safest when at play directly under the
mother's eye, but as they develop, it
is wise, I believe, to fortify them with
right principles and then to trust them
and show them that we do!

An Unseen Witn
The criminal court at Salzburg. Ger
many, has bees forced to hold a tat
ting in a convent owing To the refusal
of a nun to give evidence In public. A
woodcutter in the service of the con
vent on the Nonnberg was on his trial
for stealing, and the evidence of Sls
,tetr Coelestine, one of the nuns, was
'material. She, however, refused 1st
attend the court on the ground of
her vow, which forbade her to allow,
herself to be seen by men. An in
peal to the archbishop of Salzburc
elicited the reply that only the pop)
himself could release the sister front
her vows, so arrangements were
for her to be examined In the
vent The judge and the counsel
accommodated in the visitors' room.
while Sister Coelestine, supported byi
the abbess, took her place behind si
curtain so that she wouid be hearal
but not seen. The sister then under
went an examination and cross-exan
ination, and on her evidence thenuus
was condemned to two months' ln
prisonment The anti-clerical papers
protested against evidence gives fan
this way being admissible. j
