<h3>LET A GOOD MAN ALONE!</h3>
<p>General Howard, in taking command before Washington, incurred
the hostility of certain officers of the convivial, plundering,
swashbuckling order, who objected to his piety and orderliness. They
tramped off to badger the President with their censure. But he who had
appreciated the new leader in a glance, reproved them, saying:</p>
<p>"Howard is a <i>good</i> man. Let him alone; in time he will bring
things straight."</p>
<p>That was what caused the general to reverence him and love him.
