HIS WISH GRATIFiED.
Doctor Wanted Pets, and Now His
Home Resembles a Zoo.
Several weeks ago Dr. Edwin G.
Sugg of Chicago attended a reception
during which a group of guests were
discussing pets. Every one but Dr.
Sugg appeared to have some sort of
pet, and he remarked that he would
like to possess a "critter."
Two days after the reception nn ex
press messenger delivered a box from
which emanated peevish growls, and,
opening It, Dr. Sugg found a fine Bos
ton bull terrier. He was pleased.
Next came three white spinning
mice, which were pretty and dainty,
and ngaln the doctor was pleased. Tho
next day a large parcel arrived, nnd
when Dr. Sugg opened it he found a
cage containing two canaries. Still he
did not "tumble." AVhilo ho was ad
miring tho canaries an expressman ar
rived with a parcel from which water
was dripping. When Dr. Sugg tore
away the wrappings he found a bowl
containing three goldllsh.
The next contribution was a white
rabbit, and Dr. Sugg began to lose his
temper. Ho lost it entirely the follow
ing day when ho opened a package
and found three doves, stuffed. Sev
eral days pased nnd he was beginning
to breathe easily when along came
another package containing two stuff
ed nnd mounted roosters. Dr. Sugg
then and there determined to nccept
no more parcels unless marked with
tho name of the sender. But while he
was away along came an enormous
packing box which was accepted by
some one else nt the house. It con
tained a stuffed horse.

APPOMATTOX APPLE
TREE STORY A MYTH.
Famous Tale of Lee's Surrender to
Grant Branded as Such.
Tho old apple tree at Appomattox
la largely n myth. There was an npplc
tree, but no conference between Gen
eral Leo nnd General Grant took place
uudor It and no surrender was effected
under It. Judge Thomas G. Jones of
Montgomery, Ala., who wns an ollleei
on tlus stall of General Joint B. Gor
don, who wns present nt Appomattox,
says that the popular idea current some
years ago of a surrender under uu ap
ple tree was altogether wrong.
"The apple tree never figured ln It at
all," said Judge Jones, "except to this
slight extent: In the morning of the
day of the surrender General Leo sent
a ling of truce to General Grant. While
he was waiting the return of his mes
senger to General Grant lie sal down
on the roots of nn old applo tree and
waited awhile. Long before the mes
senger returned ho had left the apple
tree and was at the McLean farm
house, where he and General Grant
held their conference and where the
final surrender was effected. The old
apple tree was quickly cut down nnd
cut to pieces by relic hunters, nnd
something like fifty other apple trees
ln the orchard were cut to pieces. The
pieces were later made up and sold In
vnrlous forms through the country.
This probably encouraged the fallacy
that Grnnt and Leo had sat under the
apple tree. But tho two generals met
at the McLean farmhouse.
"My vivid recollection of the Appo
mattox surrender Is seeing General
Leo come out of his headquarters on
that final morning nnd mount Old
Traveler, his famous horse. He was
Immaculately dressed. At his side he
wore the handsome sword given him
by tho people of Vlrglnln. He was
hurled In deep thought, nnd as he
mounted his horse he clapped his hnuds
nbsentmlndedly together. The private
soldiers crowded about the horse and
begged him for Information. I heard
him say to the men crowding about
him: 'Wo hnve fought the war
through. It Is now all over.' "
WARNS FRATERNITY MEN.
Cornell President Says Too Many Fail
In Their Work.
Another warning to the fraternity
men at Cornell university to do bet
ter work ln their classrooms is sound
ed ln President Schumann's report on
tho comparative scholastic standing of
tho fraternity and nonfraternlty men
for tho year 1011. President Schur
man points out that of tho eighty-
gnt men oroppea m reDruary ns tne
result of the midyear examinations
the fraternities furnished 40 to 45 per
cent, whereas the number of male
undergraduates belonging to fraterni
ties constituted but 20 per cent of the
entire mnlo student population.
Tho figures nre about tho same ns
last year, and Dr. Schurman says thot
is not a good showing for the fra
ternities. Ho Is glad to commend fif
teen fraternities, whose names ho
gives, which did not lose n single man
for poor scholarship last year.
Of tho 3.587 regular students, exclud
ing graduate students nnd women,
1,048 belong to the fraternities and
2,530 do not. Forty fraternity men
and forty-eight nonfraternlty men
were dropped. Tho distribution among
classes shows that tho sophomore year
Is the dangerous one for fraternity
MAY BEAR TAFT'S NAME.
Move to Call Highway After Him and
King Edward.
A movement has been started to
name the proposed New York to Mont
real International highway ln honor of
President Taft and the Into King Ed
ward ln recognition of their efforts In
the cause of peace.
George A. Slmard of Montreal, chair
man of the Cannda committee form
ed to accomplish tho building of the
Canadian end, made tho suggestion
that that part be named King Edward
road, and Howard D. Hartley, chair
man of the committee of New York
state, suggests that the New York por
tion be named Taft rood.
"What better or more striking form
could the peace movement assume,"
said Mr. Hadloy, "than in the joining
forever of two names symbolizing for
both countries the principles of Indus
trial good will nnd peace to designate
tho world famous roadway?"
RECOVERED HER VOICE.
Girl, Dumb Two Years, Said "Goodby"
to Her Dying Sister.
Mary II. Hecht of St. Louis, fifteen
years old, who has been dumb for two
years, stranly recovered her power
of speech nt the bedside of her dying
sister.
Mary was passionately devoted to
her four-year-old sister, who had been
111 of scarlet fever, and she had been
In almost constant attendance at her
bedside for three weeks.
Suddenly she tried to sit up ln bed.
saying, "Goodby, Mary."
To the surprise of all Mary replied
in full tones, "Goodby, sister."
The little girl died a few minutes
later. Since then Mary's voice has been
as strong ns it ever 'was. Physicians
attributed It to shock at her sister's-rtpnth.
FOR A NATIONAL SONG.
School Children Will Contribute to a
Prize Fund.
The Chicago school board has under
taken a plan which Its members hope
will provide tho country with n new
and distinctive national song. Dr. J.
B. McFntrlch, president of tho board
of education, nnd Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, superintendent of schools, have
arranged for each ono of tho 300.000
school children in Chicago to contrlb
uto a cent toward a prize for tho suc
cessful competitor ln n contest to sup
ply a national song.
Tho only restriction to he made by
the board Is that tho song shall not bo
a war song.
Cream Colored Postal Cards.
Cream colored postal cards printed
In red are to take tho place of the
old cards of commonplace black Ink
design. It Is said that tho now cards
will be of more attractive appearance.
Last year the government issued 871,
318,000 postal cards, tho total cost of
which was 9273,000 or S4,000 ln ex
cess of tho cost of tho cards Issued the
year preceding, ngalust which so manj
complaints had been made. Tho now
card will cost approximately $C5,00f
more than the present card.
England and Bagdad Railway.
The money argument Is with Etig
iand; Germany must necessarily seel:
the help of English nnd French cnpl
tal to build the Bagdad railway, niid
If England, backed up by France,
should refuse that help the great Ger
man enterprise must needs fall
throned.
