Robert E. lee

On January 19th there is observed throughout the Southland in particular, and through the thinking world in general, the birthday of Robert E. Lee. No American has been more eulogized. The character of the man lends itself to eulogy. Even the stammerer becomes eloquent when he dwells on the memory of that imperishable citizen and warrior.

He was, as most men know, the son of "Lighthorse" Harry Lee, close friend of Washington and gallant supporter of the Father of Our Country. And it was "Lighthorse" Harry Lee who uttered that eulogy of Washington that has become immortal, when he called him "First in peace, first in war, and first in the hearts of his coqntrymen." Robert Lee came naturally by his great personality and h,is lofty talents. He was on€ of the most truly aristocratic men in our history.

General Winfield Scott, under whom Robert Lee served in Mexico, said of him that he was "the greatest military genius in America," and declared that if a great battle were to be fought for the liberty or slavery of our country, he wanted the commander of our forces to be Robert Lee. And this was the sort of man who was offered the supreme command of the Federal armies when the fratricidal war between the states broke out. Robert Lee chose to stand by Virginia. When he was called upon to choose where he should cast his momentous lot, it was said of him by a splendid American: "Since the Son of Man stood upon the mount and saw'all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory thereof' stretched before him, and turned away from them to the agony and glory and bloody sweat of Gethsemane and to the Cross of Calvary beyond, no follower of the lowly Savior can have undergone a more trying ordeal, or met it with higher spirit of heroic sacrifice."

And here are the memorable words of Major John W. Daniel, explaining Lee's choice; words uttered at the unveiling of the recumbent statue of I"ee at Washington and Lee University, that are so sublime in their eloquence that they challenge comparison: "A people is its own judge. Under God there can be no higher judge for them to seek, or court, or fear. In the supreme moments of national life, as in the lives of individuals, the actor must resolve and act within itself alone. The Southern States acted for themselves; the Northern States for themselves; Virginia for herself. And when the lines of battle formed, Robert Lee took his place beside his people, his kindred, his children, his home. Let his defense rest in that fact alone. Nature speaks it. Nothing can weaken it. Nothing can strengthen it. The historian can compile, the casuist may dissect, the statesman may expatiate, the advocate may plead, the jurist may expound; but, after all, there can be no stronger or tenderer tie than that which binds the faithful heart to kindred and to home. And on that tie, stretch- ing 'from the cradle to the grave, spanning the heavensn and riveted through eternity to the throne of God on high and underneath in the souls of all good men and true; on that rests stainless and immortal, the fame of Robert Lee." What grander epitaph could any man have?

Hungry

I met a girl named Passion I asked her for a date, I took her out to dinner, And O, how Passionate !

rt had r..,, ror more than a week. It was very dreary weather. Along the street came an East Indian native, garbed i,n white, making his way through the rain, and carrying an umbrella. A bus driver asked an intelligent looking passenger what the native was. The passenger said: "He's a Parsee." "What's a Parsee?" asked the curious driver. The passenger said: "A sun worshipper."

"Gor Blimey !" said the bus driver. " t must be 'ere on a blinkin' vacation."

Dining

We may live without poetry, music, and art, We may live without conscience, and live without heart, We may live without friends, we rnay live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks. We may live without books-what is knowledge but grieving: We may live without hope-what is hope but deceiving? We may live without love-what is passion but pining? But where is the man who can live without dining?

"What's that game those men are playing?"

"That's golluf. It's just the same as tennis only they don't play it with cards."

Emerson Wrole:

Not gold, but only God can make A people great and strong; Men who for truth and honour's sake, Stand fast against the wrong.

Brave men, who work while others sleep, Who dare, while others fly, They build a nation's pillars deep, And lift them to the sky.
