Ulysses Grant, Jr.


AIDED IyHIS CAREER BrP0 WER FULFRIESDs,
Ulysses Grant, Jr, or "Buck" Grant ,as he
is generally called, is now 2s years old, and
one of the most successful financiers of his
age in the country. His talent in that di-
rection has been fully brought out during
the last two years. During the closing DAYS
of his fathers Presidency he acted as his
private secretary. Grant doubted every one
about him when Babcock fell, and would not
allow any one but Buck to have access to
his private papers. Buck was at this time
figure and very boyish-looking. His mod
esty and real ability, however, made him
many friends. Some powerful men in New
York took up Buck when his father set out
for Europe, Young Ulysses, who is a grad
uate Of Harvard, thought that his future

at the end of two wears he had $500, 900
placed To his credit. II was only when this
sum was reached that the Young man pro-
posed IL matrimonial alliance with the great
firm. Buck has now associated with him as

Hhe Joke which WateryiIIe College
VA" Played on a Reverend Glass

One of the most amusing stories told at the
recent reunion Of the class of 30 of Colby
University was by rrask, at the expense Of
Leavitt, During the Beecher trial Trask
happened to be in Cincinnati. where Leayitt
was preaching. Not having met since grad
uating. il occurred to TraSk that he would
try and see if his old classmate would know
him. So he called at the pastors residence
and was shown to his study Leayitt came in,
and his caller felt sure that he was not rec
ognlled. lhercupon he pretended to be a
reporter for the New York press. seeking for
publication the opinions of the most distin-
gulshed diyincs as to the notorious Beechcr
case. With pencil in hand he otted down
about half hours talk in support of Mr..
Beecher's innocence, and before taking his
leave tried how far he could venture on per
sonalitIeS before he would be recognized.
lie asked him if he liked Cincinnati. how
large church he had, if he was raised there.
married or bachelor, children, where his wife
was raised, if she did her own work. if she
had any difficulty with her help, what was
his politics, age, weight, and finally taking
him by the beard asked him if that was the
way clergymen usually wore their boards.
BY this time, as may be supposed, Mr.. L..
was well on his dignity, and suggested to
his caller that if he had found out all he
wished to know it was time for him to leave.
Thereupon Trask, with one hand on the
door knob and the other wiping the tears
from his eonyulsed face, began TO upbraid
him tor his outrageous conduct in driving
from his door one who had been his lifelong
friend, who for four years had sat ON the
same bench and recited the same lessons,
who--"Well who are you, anyhow p inter-
rupted Mr.. L. "You used to call me Trask
when | was in college" was the sobbing re-
sponse. And ihen stare, flash of recog-
milton, a roar of laughter and hearty en-
brace followed each other in quick succes-
sion. Trask spent the day there and had
first rate time; but those notes On the Beech
er trial were never published.
