LEE HELPED HIM.
Th Old 8oldir That Askd For and
Racoivvd Assistance.
General Robert B. Lee was sitting
on tbe veranda of bis Lexington home
one afternoon engaged In conversation
with some friends whed a man, 111
clothed and covered with dust, appear
ed at tbe gate and timidly beckoned to
tbe general.
Apologizing to bis friends, Lee rose
at once and went to the gate. Very
soon bis puree appeared, and be 'was
seen to give tbe mun some money.
His friends, knowing tbe extent of
bis cbarlty In any case of suffering,
real or apparent, looked on with soiuo
Impatience, for tbey knew bow slender
bis means were then and bow many
calls of tbe same kind came to him.
"General, who was that?" one of
them ventured when he bad returned
to bis place.
"One of our boys In trouble," was
the half smiling answer, for tbe gen
eral knew tbe remonstrance wbtch uts
friend was longing to make.
"What regiment and company did he
belong to?" persisted the friend, anx
ious, If possible, to unearth tbe sus
pected fraud.
"Oh, be be fought on the other
aide,"- was General Lee's calm answer.
Chinese Business Honesty.
With due respect for others, the
Chinaman Is perhaps the most honor
able and upright business" mun In tbe
world today. HIh businens principles.
are founded entirely upon honesty,
nnd he adheres to tbe policy with the
Insistence of a leech. The chase after
dollars stops If he hns to resort to low
tricks to get them. Of course a little
thing like tcjling a falsehood occasion
ally does not bother him so much, but
when It conies to plotting and schem
ing to defraud some one the task be
comes distasteful. The equal of the
Japanese In Initiative and foresight,
he Is much their superior when integ
rity Is concerned. A Japanese does
not think twice before deciding to get
the best of you. He calculates that
you are liable to chauge your mind or
get out of reach If he indulges in a
little .mental debate as to the propriety
of cheating you. Bookkeeper.

Intending to symbolize the gloom of
night, "when nil men sleep," black Is
the color of mourning all over Europe.
In Persia pale brown materials are
worn for mourning, the color of with
ered leaves. Uoth sorrow and hope
