bitious girls of the country I am
pleased to place a year at college

herself of this opportunity prove
particularly deserving I pledge
myself to the endeavor to open the

Lee and Longstreet at High Tide
The people of this country will refuse
to be prejudiced against Mrs Long
streets hook on the life of the War-
Horse of tho Confederacy by the sug-
gestion that it is written in a spirit of
friendliness to the North Mrs Long
street was born in the American Union
after the Confederate struggle had be-
come tho Lost Cause of American
history She evidently has never
known what it was to hate anything
American It was high patriotism
vorthy of tho opening days of a new
century that prompted a young woman
of the new South to invite a valorous
Union officer to write the introduction
to the biography of a dead adversary
Tho opening words of General Sickles
introduction to Leo and Longstreet
at High Tido happily silence all criti-
cism
If it bo thought strange that I
should write a preface to tho memoir of
a conspicious adversary I reply that
the civil war is only a memory its as-
perities are forgotten both armies were
American old army friendships have
been renewed add now army friend-
ships have been formed among the com-
batants the truth of history is dear to
all of us and the amenities of chivalrous
manhood are cherished alike by the
North and South when justice to either
is involved
Sickles is one of tho most famous of
tho surviving Union officers of the civil
war Ho haB boen prominent in Demo
ocratic politics in New York since the
war and has suffered much in conse-
quence
Tho SouUi will not fall out with Mrs
Longstreet for defending tho great
name she bears now that the stout
warrior is dead and cannot answer his
accusers a magnanimous people will
honor her for it Exchange

The San Antonio Mirror is do-
ing a good work for its city and
section in its strong advocacy
of home industries As will be seen
by the following clipping the good
ladies of San Antonio are also lend-
ing strong encouragement to home
institutions Over two hundred
ladies of San Antonio have pledged
themselves to giye homemade ar-
ticles the preference where prices
and quality are equal This is a
practical nnd right move to pro-
mote home industry Let us stand-
by our hometown in increasing the
demand for home product There
is only one way demand when
purchasing the homemade article
The demand will result in build-
ing up our factories and leave a
volume of money in Texas that
