LEE’S COURIER IS DEAD.
Albert P. Miller Probably Wrote About
Confederate Leader.
Trenton, Mo., May 6.—Intimate
glimpses of Gen. Robert Lee prob
ably will be portrayed in a story of the
life of Albert P. ivinier, 70, Lee’s cour
ier for four years, who died suddenly
today in '’olumbia. Mo.
Tdrs. Carrol Millerf his daughtor-in-
lsw( believes lie left a story of his life
among papers in a deposit box in a lo
cal hank.
Mr. Miller’s father was a major in
the war of 1SI2. His grandfather was
an officer in George Washington’s
army, ills youngest son. Carrol, was
an officer in the World War.
Entering the Confederate army when
he was scarcely more than 15 years
old, Mr. Miller served as Lee’s courier
until the final surrender at Appomat
tox.
His parents died when he was a
small hoy. He, therefore, was unable
! to obtain much schooling. Neverthe
less. he was regarded as one of the
best informed men in Trenton. 17c
was a successful business man, He
owned the Haoket store here. He came
i from Virginia, his native state, in 18S0.
When he died, Mr. Miller was on
! his way home from Fulton, Mo., where
■ he had visited his son, Albert P. Miller,
Jr.

gasped. Then, the broadside:
"it’s all a frame-up. I never issued j
a prescription for liquor in my life.
I haven’t even got a license to issue !
any. I have lived up to every oalli |
of my oliice and I’ll mil swerve from I
my policy regardless of what people |
say. And as far as Jeykll ami Hyde
are concerned, well. I am playing !
only one role—enforcing the law. So 1
there.”
This statement, ringing with em
phasis, was broadcast through the ■
town today in as rapid-fire manner i
as the rumors which it "nipped.” It 1
was accepted as “gospel” by every- <
body except the bootleggers who have
tasted of the mayor’s policy of jus
tice.
Her friends explained that as a li
censed medical practitioner the may
or could have had the right to issue I
prescriptions (.•ailing for liquor to any '
she might think in need of them. As I
lo how urgent the “need” might be, 1
she also had the right to deeide. I
But the fact that the mayor had J
never taken out a license to issue ‘
passes to the shrine of Bacchus is!
proof conclusive that none was ever j
isciied.
At the “corner drug store,”, the J
mayor's record is 100 per cent per j
feet. “Never were any booze pro- j
scriptions issued here,” the druggist 1
explained. “But—one fellow who
asked (he mayor for one thought he
got it and came here to have it fill
ed. But instead of calling for liquor
it read ‘castor oil’.”

Baris, May 9.—For afternoon par
ties the favoribte costume is a silk
dress w'ith a cape to match. A gray
crepe da chine gown, for example, will
have a gray crepe do chine rape,
unlined and with mere arm holes so
that it may easily be slid on or oil.
The new capes are without trimming |
i and therefore the decorative impulse
is obliged to burst forth in the hat.
The gray crepe do chine had a lacquer:
red hat of taffeta. For brown frocks,
there are superb gold criiicline hats; !
with pale lavender, hats of petunia |
silk heavily wreathed with sweet peas i
in shades of purple are worn.
