CsnSral Frederick Grant's Story About
Hi Faihoua Father.
General Frederick Dent , Grant,
besides being commander of the de
partment of the east, holds an es
pecially high rank as a dinner guest
Is. exclusive New York society cir
cles. On an average he dines eat
Terr other night. He is wanted
not for the sort of after dinner

himself is frank to admit that be

itting quietly in his chair at the
end of an evening repast and chat
ting about army life in a free and
easy style which holds his listeners
much more intently than the more
polished phrases of many well
known orators.
As a usual thing the general
avoids talking of the renowned ex
ploits of his father, and when asked
to tell some story about the great
Ulysses S. he, a? a rule, replies:
"It is a wise son that knows his
own father, and I have never be
come wise enough to fully under
stand mine."
The other evening, however, the :
general's fellow guests became so in- j
sistent on hearing a father story,
as the son calls them, that he sur
rendered. "Because it comes from me," he
began, "the statement may be re
garded as prejudiced when I say
that my father never told a lie to a
woman. And here is an illustra
tion :
U i 1 1 ' 1. i - M
as ine lime lie was secretary 01 j
while sitting in his office at Wash
ington, a woman entered the ante
room and asked to see him. He
learned that she had come to ask
for the pardon of her son, who was
to be punished for a most serious
offense. The general did not want
to see her, because he felt that the
son should be punished and did not
want to wound the mother s feel
ings. Accordingly he called to his
secretary-and said: 1 am going to
beat a retreat down the back stairs.
When I am gone tell her I am not
In.' " New York American.
Mansfield's Rebuke.
A group of theatrical men were
talking in New York about the late
Bichard Mansfield.
"Mr. Mansfield," said one, "was a
delightful humorist, a splendid ra
conteur in society, but at the same
time he bad a certain proper and be
coming sense of his own dignity
and it never paid to be unduly fa
miliar with him.
"He was, as we all know, rather
bald. He resented, from barbers or
friends, any allusion to his bald
ness. "Well, one night at a party a man
came up behind this great artist,
staggered him with a violent slap
on the back and exclaimed in a
loud, jovial, familiar voice :
"Hello, Dick! How are you?
Every time I see you you get balder
and balder.'
"Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
"'Hello!' he said. 1 don't know
who you are, but every time I see
you you get ruder and ruder.' "
Golf In His Gospel.
Robert J. Burdette, the humor
ist, says: "Golf caused a Los An
geles minister to make a terrible
slip in the pulpit the other Sunday.
The previous afternoon the minis
ter had been nearly heartbroken by
the loss of a match game that had
Beemed entirely his. But after play
ing superbly he fell off at the end,
and his opponent beat him out!
This weighed on the minister's
mind, and when he rose in the pul
pit the next morning to announce
his text he began solemnly, 'What
shall it profit a man if he gain the
hole world and lose the last
hole?"'
r
FOR
THE LITTLE ONES.
Tha
Game of Huntsman Is a
maker and Full of Action.
Fup
; One person represents the hunts
man. The other players call them
selves after some part of a hunts-J
. mans Deiongings. for instance,
I one is the cap, another the horn,
; others the powder flask, gun, coat,
etc.
A number of chairs are arranged
in the middle of the room, and there
must be one chair less than the
number of players, not counting tha
huntsman. .
The players then seat themselves
around the room, while the hunts
man stands in the center and calls
for them, one at a time, in this way
"Powder flask!" At once "powder
flask" . rises and, going behind the
nuntsman, takes hold of bis coat.
"Cap!" "Gun!" "Shot !'f "Belt!" the
huntsman cries. Each person who
represents . these articles must rise
and take hold of the player sum
moned before him until at length
the huntsman has a long line be
hind him. He then begins to run
around the chairs until he suddenly
cries, "Bang '" when the players all
sit down. Of course as there are
not enough chairs one player is left
standing, and he must pay a forfeit
or change places with the hunts
man. Taking a Picture.
Here is a rainy day game t Assem
ble your company in a darkened
room, arranged for a magic lantern
exhibition. You should have a cam
era on hand to aid in the fun.
"Who will sit for a photograph V'
you must ask. The first who vol
unteers is invited to sit in front of
the camera and to look pleasant. A
second takes his place after a min
ute, a third and a fourth, and so on.
When the photographer has col
lected about a dozen he is ready to
show the proofs. For this purpose,
says the Washington Star, he must
have on hand the same number of
comic slides and throw them in turn
upon the sheet. The result will be
very funny if the pictures are espe
cially grotesque. Any number of
youngsters can be amused indoors
for a long wet afternoon.
The Gila Monster.
The gila monster is one of the
most repulsive looking creatures in
existence. It is a large lizard with
orange and black spots and is found
in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas,
mostly in the sandy desert lands.
Its terrible appearance has helped
perhaps to give it the reputation it
has of being one of the most poi
sonous things that crawl, but it real
ly is not so, as a rule, to a man that
is in good physical condition. To
small animals and birds, however,
its bite is rapidly fatal. Most zoo
logical gardens contain one or more
specimens,
Who Is He?
A little chap who sneaks about
Pinching- children's toes-es.
Who treats them in a manner cool
And paints quite red their noses,
Who strikes the flowers in fall quite dead
And makes the autumn chill.
Who comes when least expected
At night when all is still.
Be comes around just once a year.
And ne'er does he set lost!
He's sometimes early, sometimes late.
But we're sure to have Jack Frost.
Washing-ton Post.
Approaching an Iceberg.
Modern steamships are fitted
with instruments that tell when the
ship is approaching an iceberg, but
the men in the engine room can
tell without an instrument. It is
said that when a ship enters water
a good deal colder than that through
which it has been passing its pro
peller at once begins to revolve more
rapidly. When the men notice,
therefore, that the propeller, with
out an increase of steam, begins to
move faster they at once send word
to the officers, and the "lookout
gets on the alert .for the berg.
The Deserted Village.
The original of "Sweet Auburn,"
Goldsmith's "Deserted Village," was
Lishoy, seven miles from Athlone.
Though born- in Pallas, County
Longford, Goldsmith spent his boy
hood days in Lishoy, and it was the
now deserted Irish village that he
had in mind while writing his im
mortal poem.
His Road.
I know a railroad president.
And. what is rather queer.
He says he Is conductor, too,
Brakeman and engineer.
His railway is a great through line.
He owns It. every share.
One terminus la "gran'ma'a room;
The other, "father's chair."

Nelson's Signalman.
It was in the winter of 1846 that
Nelson's signalman-the man who
hoisted the famous "England ex
pects," etc. was discovered by one
who had served as surgeon on board
the Tonnant at Trafalgar. The sig
nalman, John Rooine, was selling
water cress and red herrings in
Blackfriars. He had deserted from
the navy after the battle, and this
had -disqualified hini for a pension,
but representations were made to
Captain Pasco, signal lieutenant on
the Victory at Trafalgar, who used
his influence on th? old man's be
half. Captain Pasoo was at first
unsuccessful. He was informed by
the authorities that there were
many more deserving candidates for
Greenwich. Shortly afterward, how
ever, room was found at Greenwich
hospital for old John. Had he lived
in our time he would probably have
received a princely salary for re
peating the signal nightly at music
halls. London Chronicle.
Winter Vetch.
Vetches are a useful crop, good feed
and great soil Improvers. There are
both winter and spring varieties. The
winter vetch Is the only one that will
do anything in the south, and even
that has not always been successful
where tried. It would seem, however,
that all of east Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana ought to be adapted to the
winter vetch. Possibly It needs only
Inoculation to get It properly started.
Texas Farm and Ranch..
The Peanut Crop.
It Is certain that the demand for pea
nuts the last two years has been suffi
cient to cause a steady advance In the
price. Virginia Is the largest producer
of peanuts In the country, and If grow
ers will only Increase the yield per
acre by better methods of preparation
Of the land and by growing the crop In
a rotation which will keep the land
well filled with humus they can make
the crop a profitable one. Southern
