ern soldier said to me: 'General, your boys

that you are with u today;' how an aged
man grasped both of my hands and said,
General, 1 lost two son in the war the
only two I had but for public considera

to see you and your people here at this

show most conclusively thiii Yirpinia re

Youth Bleadrd with Age.
General Lee would hte Wen Til years of
age if he had lived until November li next;
but he wa one of those rota people some
how refuse even to think of as anything
els than your.g. His ardor and his vi
tality were seemingly as buoyant up to
almost the very moment before he was
strnken down as they were at ar.j- time
during hi ftng and tx.ter.sely active career.
Hi father. General Rebert E. Lee a brother,
was very mucji the same tyre of man. He
was a sailor, Sydney Smith Lee of the
t'mted States navy.
Fltzhugh Lee was the eldest son of Syd
ney Sm.th Lee and was I ha favorlta
nephew. Just as his filher had been the
I favorite brother, of General R. E. Lee.
' Both father aud eon were beloved by the
) great confederate comtns.nder for similar
(iujuei. "IU was the ret mcavaaue
wl:L Gtnerai It. E Lee for ths brother,
while "Kits" was his and tvrj body else s
pet r..(knane fir the son.
There was eter too m-ch of the old
time Virginian 1c Kiul.ugh Lee for him
ever to take kiJly to salt It in
volved too little cTport unity to get aftradd;e
a horsea batk. and Kitatiugh, from hi very
boyhood, loved a torae Su h did &t tv.-
low his father Into the nary. He followed
his uncle, Rotert E.. Into the army.
Robert E. Lee, then a captain of engi
neers, was superintendent of the military
academy at West Boint when Fltzhugh was
taken there as a cadet. One day Captaiu
Lee, the superintendent, was showing his
fatber-in-law. G. TV. Parke C-ostts. about
the academy grounds.
-Did you notice that cadet doing pun
ishment duty?" ssked Captain Lee of his
guest.
Why, yes." replied the gnet- "I no
ticed that he was very polite. He drew
hiraaelf up and presented arm very re
spectfully a we passed."
"Well, said Captain Lee. that's my hope
ful nephew. Kitrhugh, Brother Sydney'
son."
Fitihugh himself lovei to tell this story
in later years and how it wis that he hap
pened to be doing pur.lshnver.t duty a little
nocturnal nid:tion to Benny Havens and
a dummy In bed that did not pfiss muster
when the inspection officer rame around.
Lee at 'West Polat.
Lee was ordered to West Point as an In
structor In cavalry tactics. The outbreak
of the war between the state found him
serving in that capacity, but. Imbued with
a sense of loyalty to his native state, he
resigned his commission and offered hi
services to the confederacy. He was as
signed to staff duty and speedily became
adjutant general of Ewell's brigade. Sub
sequently he was commissioned lieutenant
colonel of the First Virginia cavalry and
later was made colonel, participating In all
of the campaigns of the Army of Northern
Virginia.
Cm July 3, 38c:, Lee was made a briga
dier general, and about a year later he
became a major general. He was a con
spicuous firure in the battle of Win
chester, on which occasion tnree horse
were shot under nim cr.d he was severely
wounded. After several months spent In
the hospital he returned to the fHid, anl
In March, 1S55, he was placed in command
of the entire cavalry ct rps of the Army
of Northern Virginia.
It was to the Second t'nited States
cavalry that Lieutenant Fltzhugh Lee went
on leaving West Point. His active service
commenced at once. The Indians w-e
much aroused at emigrants crossing their
lands snd hunting grcunda. With his
urual energy Lieutenant Lee distinguished
himself in every fight with the Comanche
In which be took part. He had some
close calls. While on a scout once he
dlmonnticd to follow the trail of an In
dian, who had taken to the brush. As
Lee passed along the bottom of a rartn,
the Indian, who had concealed himself
shore the young iieutfnant, leaped upo-i
Lee's tsrk and for the moment bore him
down. The Comanrhe chief attempted to
draw his knife, but Lee seiied his right
arm and prevented Its use. Holding the
warrior In this way, !t was equally im
possible for Lieutenant Lee to drtw his
pistol. The Indian, a famous war chief,
was larger and Heavier than the young
officer, who was getting the worst of the
tussle. His gymnastic training saved his
life Suddenly releasing the right hand
hold, Lee Ftruck the chief twice In the
face, knocking him down. Before the
warrior could recover from this new form
of attack, Lee had settled conclusions for
good and all by two shots from his Colt
revolver.
In another Indian fight a warrior, dash
ing up close to him, shot! Lee with an ar
row. It would have killed him had not
the po.nt turned on a rib. As it was. It
penetrated several inches, and Lee had to
ride about and command hi men with the
feather end of an arrow sticking cut of
his breast. It began to be painful, aiid
lying dewn on i..s side. Lee called a friend

A SERIES of timely articles on the pe nding railroad problem, written by Edward
Rosewater, editor of The Bee, embodying the facts gathered and conclusions
reached in a third of a century's study of the question is now running in The Pun
day Bee, The topics treated are:
1. Railroads as Public Highways;
2. Overcapitalization and Stock Watering
3. Credit Mobillcr Construction
4. Consolidation and Pooling;
5. Rebates and Discriminations
6. Railroad Domination, 5tte and National
7. Railroad Legislation, Mate and National
8. Railroad Supervision or Government Ow nershlp
These articles are written in popular form to be readily understood by the or
dinary reader. They give a general turrey of the railroad situation from the
standpoint of the people, pointing out abuses and suggesting rational remedies.
Every one who wants to l thoroughly informed on this uppermost of current

Aa a Cavalry Leader.
Lee d.sp.ayod skill as well as courage
as a cavalry leader. At FarmviiU. near
Appomattox, he led a brilliant chajge,
which drove back General Crook's cavalry
division and be-d the key to the situation
until Sheridan and Ord arrived w;th
Federal reinforcements and put an end to
the struggle On the following day Gen
eral Robert E. Lee and General Grant
settled the terms of the surrender of the
tonic-derate ioroea.
General Flithugh Lee witnessed this
memorLble meeting between his uncle and
Grant, and he frequently expressed hia
appreciation of the magnanimity d. splayed
by ht victorious commanaer on that oc
casion. The fact that General Grant re
frained from afkir.g for Gne:al Rolrt E
Lee's sword made a laarng Impression on
Fitsh-gh Lee. who subsequently sad:
"General Grar.t not cr.!y refrained from
demanding my uncle's sword, as is cus
tomary, but he ai-tually apolosrized to G. n
eral Lee for not having h.s own sword on
t tho time "
After the wsr General Fitahugh Let
