Host to Portland Brings Back Incident of Tears Ago, AVhen Reporter, Later Soldier, Triumphed. BY ADDISON BENNETT. -Shortly after General Grant became President Grant, he was on a trip west ward over the Central Ohio branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which passes through Zanesville. a fine little city about midway between the Ohio River and Columbus, the capital of the state. At the time mentioned there was a mighty brisk little evening dally news paper published in Zanesville, its name being, if I remember aright, the Even ing Courier. Anyhow on this paper there was a young man who was quite new at the game. He had, however. served his country as a soldier during the Civil War, and many years later became the owner of the newspaper and also served as Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. His name was Brown, but as I have forgotten his Christian name I will call him Comrade Brown. Not because I served my country as he did, but be cause so many of his old comrades in arms are in Portland today. Brown Tackles Big Job. The manager of the Courier thought it would be a fine stroke to get an in terview with Grant, and Brown was as signed to the duty. So he went east to board the train at Bellaire, a station at the west end of the bridge across the Ohio River. This would give him over an hour so that he might get a good long interview. But Comrade Brown found it slow work to get into the private car occu pied by the President He got there finally, however, when the train was about 15 minutes east of his home town and waiting press. Ha presented his card to the great man's attendant, his name was given and Grant asked him how long he had been in the newspaper business, how large a town Zanesville was, what its chief industries were, the condition of the crops thereabouts, how long the Courier had been established, j its circulation, its cost per rear, the name of the press they used, what hour tliev went to cress, the price of pota toes and eggs in the open market, the name of the best hotel there ana vari ous other Questions of a like nature. In fact. Grant was in great good humor and very loquacious, which for him was a wonder Indeed. But on that particular occasion he fired questions at Comrade Brown so rapidly that the newspaper novitiate had ro posslDie chance to ask a question himself, not a single one. So he went back to his office crestfallen, with his empty note book, empty save as to the numerous questions he had neatly written down for the purpose of having Grant an swer them. "Well." said the publisher as he en tered the office, "did you get to see him?" "Y9B," replied Comrade Brown. "Well, hurry up and get It written for the comps. are waiting, the press is waiting, we are all waiting rush. It through." "But." mumbled Comrade Brown, "I didn't get to interview him: he fired questions at me all the time and I had no chance to ask him anything." Interview Makes Hit. The publisher was a man who had the real newspaper Instinct for news and he knew at once that Brown has suc ceeded where all the other newspapers had failed in getting Grant to talk at all. So he hurried. Comrade Brown into the sanctum, had him jot down the questions asked of him and his an swers, put a scare head on the article and got out his extra with "An Inter- vlew bv the Courier Representative With President Grant." It made a great hit, and gave Com rade Brown the name of "The man who Interviewed Grant." He stuck to the game, became owner of the paper, made a success in life and was for a term the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Re public. . Club to Sew for Needy Babies. Marguerite Camp Coterie Club held its last regular meeting at the resi dence of Mrs. Flora Johnston, Seven tieth and Flanders streets, Thursday to sew for the needy babies of France. A large amount of sewing was accom plished. A luncheon was served at noon.
