1t don't advertise cheap trashy stuff
at astonishingly low prices to deceive
the public. 1t don't quote 10 cent

words it never has had to hire man
to trade with it. The solid bargains
is inducement enough for sensible
men, and parties in search of Bats
can pass on--we don't keep them.

me. They tell ME must not push
them. They say they aim to pay me.
But they never pull the Trigger.

will pay me One Dollar just to let me
know that you are not afrnid to shoot

martyr president-he whose great, gentle
heart bore charity for all, with malice towards
none. He spent weeks altogether at the head
quarters during that fateful year. Between
him and Grant there was full understanding
and warm feeling Grant said that in the
course of this familiar acquaintance he had
cop,e - regard Lincoln as bv Tor tie greatest
man who had occupied the presidential chair
since Washington. Lincoln liked to unbur
den his anxious soul to TIE general he had
chosen. In that troubled time he was urged
to remove Grant and appoint somebody who
had dash and would hasten matters. In
quaint phrase, Lincoln answered only:
"It's bad plan to swap horses in the mid
die of river"
The pleinness of dress of both these historic
Americans hnrmonized. In February, 1865,
Grant went to see Lincoln at Washington.
While there he called at the capitol and paid
his respects to the senate in session. That
solemn body was not little scandalized by
the carelessness of his attire. So much was
this the case that after he had gone one of
the senator's actually arose and asked the con-
sideration of the senate on the matter.

pointing Grant lieutenant general. 1 tell you,

The SILENT SOLDIER.

He was as calm as Washington. Without
his doing much during that winter, without
his saying more than was necessary, the peo-
pie began at last to feel confidence in him.
In November 1864, the General visited New
York city for the first time since he had
Travelled thither by stage coach, in the days
when he was a student at West Point. lie
went now to see his children who were at
school in New Jersey. Through ali his career
Grant has been passionately attached to his
children. 1t could not help being noised
about that the General of the armies of the
United States was present wherever he tray
eled. To those who asked him of the war he
said simply that the end was not far off. The
valley of the Shenandoah was barren waste.
In the nature of things, Lees army must
soon be starved out. 1.-THE Confederacy was
a hollow shell. which Sherman was about to
penetrate. Old men and boys were pressed
into the Confederate ranks The cradle and
the grave had been robbed to repair the
losses in the Wilderness and in the western
campaigns"
The tide of popularity had SO turned in his
favor that his journey to New Jersey and
back was one triumph, as if victory had
already been won. Enormous crowds gath
cred and cheered him wherever he appeared.
In Philadelphia, after an impromptu recep-
ton in Independence Hall, he was taken by a
private exit to a carriage. But the friendly
mob pressed around him and broke the car
riage windows open to have the privilege Of
seeing Grant. From one mouth to another
the country over rang the words:
cat last we have found the man able to
end the war"
Like President Lincoln months before,
they, 'too, at length began to see it."
On his way back to camp Grant stopped at
Washington. He was preparing to throw off
all side weights for the final struggle To
this end he called at the war Office and recon-
mended the mastering out of service of IS or
namental generals They were mostly brig
adiers, but some major generals were among
the lot To let them down easy, he recon-
mended that numbers Of them be permitted
to resign. The president reminded him that
some of these were his own personal friends.
Grant knew that but he only replied:
II am satisfied the good of the service will
be advanced by their withdrawal"
The winter wore away. Sherman marched
to the sea, annihilating, as he went, like the
spirit of destruction. Crops, roads, arsenals
and factories disappeared in his track as if
visited by a tornado. The Confederacy was
able to draw no more supplies from that
quarter Fort Fisher had teen captured as
well, and Thomas had destroyed Hoods
army. The fabric Jefferson Davis had built
on paper was trembling upon its foundations.
| Meantime Grant had been silently creeping
| like mole with his earthworks, towards the
Southside railroad. At last the commander
saw that his time was ripe. At the end OF
March, 1865, he dispatched to Sheridan. 81

FIVE FORKS

Was the beginning Of the end 1t was
fought April l, 1865, and was one of the
most brilliant and bloody engagements OF
the war In this fight Sheridan displayed
his characteristic qualities. He was as mad
with battle-rage as the god of war himself
In the midst of the fight one of his divisions
wavered and broke momentarily. Their
color bearer was shot and killed, and their
flag had fallen. Sheridan snatched it up in
his own hands, and plunged into the fight
at the head of the faltering men. After that
he flew about like incarnate thunder and
lightning. He ragged and shook his fist and his
sword by turns at them; no drove men who
had been wounded back into the front rank
He capped the climax Of his rage by then
and there relieving Gen. Warren of his com
mand upon the field of battle. But he re-
stored order, and gained the day.
Back at Dabney's saw-mill, Grant, wrapped
in his blue overcoat, waited for news OF the
fight. Day wore on into darkness and the
hours advanced towards midnight. Sudden
ly the general heard the cheers Of the camp
through the darkness. He and the two or
