When Robert wan four ran old they moved to Alexandria There they had better school*. When Mrs. Lee went to ride and complained of being cold Robert would get oat his Jack knife and stuff the eraeka of the carriage fell of paper. Ate awhile Mia. Lee fell sick. Robert Km her her food and medicine with own hands. When she died Robert was hoard to say, "I owe everything to my mother." When Robert was eighteen yean old ha went to Wsst Pouit to become a soldier. There he went to school four years and never got a bad mark. When he was twepty-two years old ha entered then the engineering corps and became a lieutenant. Then his dab was to make forts, plan battleHaras and keep riven in their own beds. Once he had to force the Mississippi River into its bed. Some men who did not like the work Lee was doing brought up some cannon and opened lire upon the laborers. After awhile ho forced the mighty river back Into its own bed. In the Mexican war he had to find * ? 1*1 ?r CU.t. An.. |k. I OVlfe loa BUMI VI DHIUI AUUB, IUS Mexican General. He went into the moan tains, bat ooald not find him. The next day be found him out and told GeneralSootL In the battle that followed Santa Anna was defeated. When Lee was promoted to cap tain be was sent to Texas. There his duty was to kasp the Indians from killing the whites. Ones a disease broke out in Lee's troops. Man, children and hones dled^Qpce a little boy died of this Whan the war between the 8tatee broke out Lee was offered command of lbs Northern amy if be would remain true to the Union. But he said. '*1 could not draw my a word against Virginia my native State." When Lee met Joe Hooker at Cbanoellonville Hooker had nearly twice Lee'a number. Hooker had ninety-three thousand men while Lee had forty-four tbomand men. Jeb Stuart led bis men tinging, "Old Joe Hooker oome oat and fight" Lee won the battle. When General Pope attacked Lee, Lee sent Stonewall Jackaon with a portion of his army to Pope's rear. When Pope attacked Jackson, Jackson fought well, bat the Confederate's powder gave out, then the Confederates fought with stones. How esgerly Jackson looked for help, and at last it came, then Jackson beat Pope back. Then after Pope came Burnaide, after Burnside came Meade. At the battle of Gettysburg when Lee's men had been defeated be told them to stand firm. After Meade came Grant. At the battle of the Wilderness when ? * ? Li? * a (J rant was not expecting mm, lw mtaoked him. Lee was on the point of being driven back when the men of the Lone Star State came up. But eoon the great blue oordon encircled the TexaiiS in a circle of Are. Then crashing upon the scene came Lion Banning and Tiger Anderson with the brave Georgians, followed by Law's gallant Alabomians. Tbey rushed upon Hancock's centre and back it reeled before their charge. When the battle ended it resulted in another victory for the Confederates. When Grant besieged Petersburg and eoold not take it, he started a cruel plan. This plan was to dig a nine under the city of Petersburg and J * blow It up. Lee found out the plan and put men to give the alarm when the mine was fined. When the mine was fired it made a deep hole. When A the Federals charged many fell into hole. On these a hot fire wan opened. When the white troops tied the color* ed troops were sent to the breach, but they tied. Then the white troops were tti sent again but were beaten back. Then I;',1 Grant did try to take the breach. u, Food was scarce in the Confederate ?? army. When I<eeheurdthat nomecattle ^ were in the rear of the Uuion army te he sent some men to get them. When at the meu came hack they had two ? thousand head of cattle. w The favorite name of the Yankees ui for the Confederates was Johnnie iieb ; the favorite name of the Confederates * for the Yankees was Hilly Yanks. One day Billy Yankssaid, "I say, Johnuie, J* take them old greasy clothes olF and come over here. I have got a nice new hi suit for you." That's ail right about mv suit, irrowled the Coufederate, "all iu the grease ou them came out or your cattle." Tbeu the Yankee gun* began {JJ to pop and the Confederate* were not h slow to pop hack.

The ashes ' taken from the fire should never be thrown into the can until they are sifted. The cinders thus obtained can be used on the lire at times when the greatest heat Is not needed.

The best way Is to lay the wood on a shovel and cover It there with the oil. and then add a sprinkling to a shovelful of coal. Many housekeciiers Insure their kitchens against accident from this cause by leaving a part of a cupful of oil for the servant's use and locking the rest In the storeroom. A handfnl of sugar will revive an expiring fire as quickly as will kerosene, but happy the housewife whose maid is ignorant of the fact.

Tbe popular Idea that the age of a . horse can always be told by looking at 8 bis teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, is 1 not entirely correct After tbe eighth ' year the horse has no more new teeth. ? so that the tooth method is useless for 1 telling tbe age of a horse which is more than 8 years old. As soon as tbe set of teeth Is complete, however, a wrinkle begins to appear on the upper edge of tbe lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle is auueu eacu year, ?o uiai iu ^ci aw u>c age of a horse over 8 years old you must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

Carried Off by Ginta Who Forget to Giro Them I p. "Our key fitter U one of the most impor- ' tant men on our gtaff," said the mnnacor j* of a large Sew Orleans hotel, "lie ;? ^ kept busy every <lajr of the year, ami "? sometimes he in ho rushed with w^rk that he has to call in an a?si;<tant. It in uo exaggeration to *ay that he averages J. from 25 to 30 keys a day." be "Bat I would suppose," remarked a _ listener, "that even a big hotel would acquire a sufficiency of keys iu tbe course 4 of time." J "So it does," replied the manager, "if | the public would only let it keep 'em; but it won't It would astonish anybody not in the business to know how many guests walk off with their room keys when they leave the house. When the average muu . gets ready to depart, he packs his valise, ' locks his door and tbeu goes direct to the cashier's wicket to settle his bill. When that formality is attended to, he is generally in a rush to get to the de|?ot and is quite apt to forget that he has omitted to return his key at the clerk's desk. That, at any rate, is the way I account for so much abKcntmlndedness on tbe subject. The clerk doesn't discover that the key is gone until tbe chambermaid applies for it to clean up the room, which is probably an hour or two after the guest has taken his departure. Then nothing remains but to call in the key fitter and tell him to prepare a duplicate as quickly as he can. "Formerly the hotels tried to guard against this innocent kleptomania," the manager went on, "by having their keys made very large and cumbersome and ( attaching them to enormous metal tags, the idea being to render it impossible to put them in one's pocket. To that end they were probably a success, but they were such an unmitigated nuisance otherwise, and guests complained so bitterly at the annoyance of handling them, that they were generally discarded.

"At present most of the big hotels use a modest metal check, stamped with their address and a request to forward through the mails if accidentally carried off. All that is necessary is to attach a 3 cent stamp to the tag and drop the key in the nearest letter box. Incidentally I may say that about one man in 50 takes the trouble. But, aside from the room keys carried away by guests, a vast number of all kinds disappear through the mysterious channels to oblivion that exist in all large hotels. They vanish, and that's the end of it?keys to furniture, wardrobe keys, closet keys, bathroom keys, keys to the help's lockers, padlock keys from the outside storerooms, big coal bunker keys, gate keys and keys of every imaginable size, shape and style. They are continually missing and have to be replaced. If a lost key turns up later, the duplicate is carefully ticketed nnd laid away in 0 drawer set aside for that purpose. But utMnm turn nn Thrv have COM? to the limbo of lost pins, last season's birds' | nests and the snows of yesteryear."? New Orleans Times-Demoerat. Eat All Yoi Cu, Mother!

The price which the old man was asked after he had ordered two meals was 75 cents. "Seventy-five cents!" he exclaimed. "You don't mean apiece?" "Yes, sir." "Gracious!"
