Anecdotes About Grant.

Where do all the anecdotes about Gen.
Grant come from? Are they manufac-
tured out OF whole cloth or have they
some slight foundation in fact? For a
month the newspapers have been fulls Of
accounts of happenings Of Gen. GRANTS
boyhood and manhood, and OF extraordi-
nary events in his military and civil ca
reer.
1t was expected, of course, that Gen.
Grants sickness and death would cali out
all that Was remarkable in his wonderful
life, but no one doubtless had any idea
that he was the subject Of so many inter-
esting incidents.
Since Gen. Grant was first pronounced
10 be afflicted with an incurable disease,
there have been enough stories published
in which he figured as tae leading
character TO I'll sufficient number OF
volumes to make small library.
Many Of tho stories are, no doubt, true.
but 1t is doubtful il there Is any better
authority for the majority OF them than
the imaginstions of their authors.
