TO us a traditional ane cdote Of tl,e
Secretary of war, which is probably as
true as the posthumsus stories of the
juvenile days of great men generaly
are; and we therefore put it on record
for the benefit or his future biographef
1t was the custom aforetime is
Pennsylvania, for mothers to place an
apple, a silver dollar and +, 70, n.'' 4
pe1ore their children, as on as they 30
were able to toddle about, with a
mothers interest and satisfaction
watch them make their choice. 1t was
considered indicative Of their more
matured predictions. In accordance
with, this custom the mother of the
infantile Simon, as soon as he was alb e
to stand on his pins, produced the
articles and set them before the child,
hoping in her heart he would select the
Bible. But not so Simond. The future
Secretary of War took a somewhat
deliberate view, and with less rever-
ence than King Alfred, mou 1ted atop
the Holy Writ, pocketed the dollar,
and commenced munehing the apple
1t is needless to add that he has been
at that business ever since. Cincinnati
