W. Childs, a couple of newspaper
men. had the good Judgment TO
invest for him, and two or three
houses which are left in h S wife's
name. II is said that $4,000 a
year is not enough for Grant to
live on. Considering the fact
that some 20 years ago, when he
bad IA large family to support, he
managed 10 support them by
working in a lanyard or selling
cord wood and hoop poles, it
seems to us that he ought to wor-
ry along now on $4,000 year.
He might have TO smoke stogie
cigars and drink whisky less than

nial would no doubt enable him
to keep from starving to death
