Robert E. Lee's Definition ef the Quali ties That Mak. Him. Lee hated parade, display and cere mony, bated above all things being made an object of public gaze and adulation. His Idea of high position wns high responsibility, a superior was simply one who hud larger duties, and the mark of a gentleman was a keen sense of the feelings and susceptibili ties of others. No one has ever ex pressed this attitude more delicately than he himself in this memorandum found among his papers after bis death: "The forbearing use of power does not only form a touchstone, but the manner In which an Individual enjoys certain advantages over others Is a test of a true gentleman. The power GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES. Racial Marks Left by Our Early Ex plorer and Settlers. While most of the ststes of the Mis sissippi valley, besides countless riv ers and takes in all parts of the a try, bear Indian names, but a h ',11 number only of the towns that are the work of the white man have adopt ed names borrowed from the original owners of the land. Not one In ten. It has been pointed out, of the 150 large dtles has an Indian name, and among those that have It is usually an adop tion from some neighboring lake or stream. The eariy expiutu itt!: left their racial marks. Up the Bud son and Mohawk the trail of the Dutchman is pretty clear. The French Influence in northern New York and Vermont and along the tine of the great lakes is familiar. In many names. Mississippi has no "saints" in Its list, whereas, across the river, Louisi ana, by nine parishes and many towns, rivers and lakes, perpetuates the re ligious tenets of its early settlers. Kentucky and Tennessee evidence the vocabulary of the hunter and trapper; Montana and Idaho that of the miner. AH the region acquired from Mexico, particularly southern California, main tains in Its place names the memory of Its Spanish explorers and settlers. There are relatively few Indian names on the Pacific coast. North pf the Spanish belt copes and towns fre quently reflect the loyalty of early set tlers to the older states of the Union.

The news dispatch referred to follows: i Burley, Ida., Nov. 24. Agricultural Superintendent Pingree of the Amal gamated" Sugar company, and several others have been in this field for some days past holding meetings with the farmers with a view to the establish ment of a sugar factory somewhere in Cassia county. While Mr. Pingree has done no talking for publication, it is generally understood that the encoruagement received from every section is sufficient to justify the be lief that this part of 'Idaho will have a sugar factory during the year 1912. Well authenticated reports state that the plant Intended to be built here will be removed from La Grande, Ore., as the magistrate over the citizen, the employer over the employed, the edu cated over the unlettered, the experi enced over the confiding, even the clever over the silly the forbearing or Inoffensive use of all this power or au thority or a total abstinence from It when the case admits It, will show the gentleman In a plain light The gen tleman does not needlessly and unnec essarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He cannot only forgive; he can forget, and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which Impart sufficient strength to let the past be but the past A true man of honor feels bumbled himself when he csnnot help humbling others."

So Loos the Animal Can Almost Turn Around In It The pelt of an adult badger is ex tremely thick and difficult for s biting adversary to enerrate. writes a trap per in Far News, and sn loosely does the skin cover the body tbat the animal Ih able to turn utmost around In Its bide. - Should a dog acquire a hold on the thront the badger turns himself so that the dog's grip Is on the back of the builder's neck without having loosened his first bold. Then the badger seenres a viselike grip upon some vulnerable portion of his enemy, and while bis loug tusks penetrate to the limit he digs and scratches with his front feet, which ore furnished with claws almost ns formidable and deadly as might be expected from an anteater of the dark continent lie who has removed the pelt of a badger and Is at all observing does not wonder st this animal being sharp bit ten and tbat he is abls to bang with bulldog tenacity when the formation and adjustment of his Jaws are noted. Neither is It no much of a mystery bow he manages to bore through the soil so rapidly that half a dosen men with shovels cannot overtake him, for he Is mass of cords and muscles, partic ularly in the neck, chest and shoulders, very similar In physical construction to the ground mole. badger Is chlcfl.i valuable when tt has a long coat, so tVAt the guard hairs can be plucked ami ! to make shar ing brush Live on Two 8impla Msals of Bread and Dates a Day. The dally routine of the Arab is sim ple and well ordered. He Is up with the daybreak and as soon as possible loads his camels; then he rides for some four or five hours before he has his first morning meal; then he Is off again until late in the afternoon, when a halt is made for the night Supper usually consists of warm bread, with an onion or dates as a relish. Bread Is prepared In as simple a manner as possible. While the coarse flour and water are being kneaded into dough a j large fire Is made, which provides s good heap or hot ashes. On part of these the flattened dough is laid, then covered with the remainder of the ashes. In about fifteen minutes the dough Is sufficiently bnked. It Is then well beaten to free It from ashes, broken In pieces and divided among those who from their bags have contributed the meal After the evening feast coffee Is made by some member of the party and, poured out Into tiny cups, Is sol emnly handed around to each one. Dates often take the place of bread In Arabia. There are many varieties, and the composition of the date does not differ so very much from that of bread. Fat Is lacking in both, but this Is supplied by the butter churned to skin bags suspended from a tripod and shaken or rolled on the ground.-' Chicago N- NOTICE TO VOTERS. ...
