temper, ana savage disposition, and
had Killed his man. He was, there

practically boss of the town. He sent
the preacher word that he wanted to

went, and was informed that he could
get from So to $40 week by calling
at the saloon for it, and that it would
be taken as an insult if he refused &.
The proposition was promptly accep-
ted, and therefore, he had no better

On one occasion, while in the saloon

other minister entered and presented
his claims for assistance. The saloon

Famous Hot Spells,

In 1903 and 1904, according to
French periodical, the Rhine, Loire
and Seine ran dry. In 1915 the heat
throughout Europe became excessive.
Scotland suffered particularly in 1925.
Men and beasts died in scores. The
heat in several departments during
the summer of 1705 was equal to that
in a glass furnace. Meat could be
cooked by merely exposing it to the
sun. Not a soul dared venture out
between noon and p. IN. In 171S
many shops had to close; the thea
ters never opened their doors for sew
eral months. Not a drop of water
fell during six months. In 1878 the
thermometer rose to llS degrees. In
1913 the heat at Bologna was so great
that great number of people were
stitied. There was not sufficient air
for the breath, and people had to take
refuge under ground. In July, 1892,
the heat became intOlerable. Vege-
tables were burned up and fruit dried
upon the trees. The furniture and
wood work in dwelling houses crack
ed and split up; meat went bad in
an hour.

put into the mouth Of an old negro

master, and could not be caught but
an old lady bought him, because he
had saved the life of her son, and he
surrendered himself and became a
faithful servant. When his old mis-
tress came to die her wandering mind
dwelt upon the negro who had serv-
ed her SO faithfully. She fancied she
was making journey. "The car.
riage goes smoothly along here" she
said. Then, after little pause, she
asked, "Is David driving?" and the
weeping negro cried out from the

lie neYel drank to excess, but was
fond of an OCCASIONAL drink of good
liquor, and Eandy was his favorite
beverage,
His mothe was an enthusiastic
Methodist, am believed in personal
holiness and tie nearness Of the sec
ond coming.
His most Intimate friend was
George w. Chids, of Philadelphia,
whose househe made his home when
ever in Philadelphia.
Among the portraits in George w.
Childs' office is one of General Grant
and the Emperu of China, taken
seated together aid arm-in-arm.
AS far back as February last he
wrote to Mr.. Chlds that whenever
he took drink ofWater it felt ''as if
hot lead was going down his throat"
Until given over to the govern.
ment all the souvenirs Of his Euro
pean trip were at the office of George
w. Childs, to whose custody he con-
fided them.
Like so many other great soldiers
he was fataliSt and belived "What
IS to be will be-" If he had adhered
to any religious form he would have
been Presbyterian.
The husband of Nellie Grant Sar-
'tFie, his~daughter. is an Englishman
an only son and nephew of Fanny
Kemhle, the actress, who became
Mrs, Pierre Butler, of Philadelphia.
When a boy if he ever went be-
yond a place he never retraced his
footsteps, but took a roundabout tour
to reach his destination some other
way. He often said he attributed
his success to a resolution taken in
youth to "never turn back" in any
undertaking.
He smoked his last cigar on the
10th of November, 1884. In letter
to friend mentioning the circum-
stance he said he had smoked many
thousands Of cigars, and they had
been his greatest comfort through the
last years Of the war on the battle
field.
1t is an open secret that about a
yearago General Grant was approach
ed by several distinguished Demo-
Gratis and the possibility Of his ac-
ceptance of the Democratic nomina-
tion for President discussed. He said
he had presentiment, and always
believed thot he would not die on the
battle field.
1t is curious coincidence that the
fathers-in-law Of General Grants sons
all suffered financial reverses like
himself. Fred Grant married a
daughter of Mr.. Homer, Of Chicago,
once a millionaire. Buck Grant
daughter of Senator
Chaffee, of Colorado, who lost heaYi-
ly. Jesse Grant married daughter
of Mr.. Chapman, former California
Croesus.
