How Grant Learned Strategy.

Once while talking with Gen. Grant,
I asked him how he got his strategic
knowledge.
81 got it on the farm when l was a
boy" said the general. Il learned it
when | was driving oxen, feeding
calves. and breaking horses. One day,
when was on the old farm in Ohio,
my father taught me valuable lesson
in strategy"
"How?" 1 asked.
well, father took me into the stable
one day where row of cattle stood in
their uncleaned stalls.
said he: Ulysses, the stable win
dow is pretty high for boy, but do you
think you could take this shovel and
clean out the stable?"
i don't know, father says /; i
never have done it.
We'll, my boy, If you will do it this
mornig I'll give you this bright silver
dollar, said my father patting me on
my head. while he held the silver dollar
before my eyes.
Good says I; IN try and then l
went to work. l tugged and pulled
and lifted and pulled, and finally it was
done. and father gave me the bright
silver dollar. saying:
That's right, Ulysses, you did it

PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN.
Some of the Leading Citizens Who
Have Helped to Build Up Dallas.
DAVID G0SLIN.

Mr.. David Goslin Is at the head of
China Hall, the great crockery, glass
ware etc, house of West Texas. He
was born in Prussia on November, "a,
1885, and will consequently in some-
thing over month from now be 81
years of age, yet one would not take
him to be so by many years from his
appearance. He however, is blessed
with a good wife and some olive
branches and has no object in conceal
ing his age like coy maiden of 80 who
might sigh and say: "Really l am get
ting so DID,. Just to think, will be
nineteen next September" He emigra-
ted to America in 1859 settling in Car
bondale, Penn. In 1872 he came to
Texas settling here in Dallas, where
he has ever since resided. Dallas was
but young and tender townlct in
so far us population and business
were concerned, but in that year
the Houston Il Texas Central railroad
reached here, and it had the effect on
the town that champagne has on the
bon vivant. 1t infused new life into
the place, and it began ut once to take
strides forward. Mr.. Goslin was here
to take advantage of the new order OF
things, and, being wide-awake, live
and energetic man, he kept pace with
the city and has grown with it. He
has never held any civil office, prefer
ing the walks of private life, and the
demands OH his time his business re-
qui.e ed, to the destinations of politics.
He belongs to quite number of the
civic and elemosynary societies OF the
city, and has filed important positions
of trust in them all, but at present is
but a private member. Mr. Goslin,
from the beginning of the present
growth of Dallas, has been identified,
directly or indirectly, with its every
interest. He has seen it
grow from an infant town in
swaddling clothes to the present
handsome, thriving and important city
it is. He has seen the railroads that
center here come, and has helped to
welcome the advent Of their first
trains and drank in the music Of the
whistles of their first locomotives.
And he has given Of his energy, his
counsel and his means in helping to
secure these railroads. Progressive
himself, he has supported and aided in
every measure of progress calculated
at all to benefit the city. Hcis abreast
of the times in all things, and as Dallas
has grown he has grown. Enterpris-
ing, of the highest integrity, honest
and reliable, and, withal, social and
liberal, he has built up about him a
large circle of warm friends and estab-
lished a business reputation that is as
solid as rock. He is good citizen, a
staunch man and worthy, and he has
been and is, a friend to Dallas at all
times and under all circumstances.

TRY Il Yourself Awhile.

Nothing is easier than TO borrow .
newspaper from friend. examine 1t
with a iaundiced eye. and set it aside
Is a worthless thing that ''doesn't
pay"
To please. entertain, and enlarge the
range of public thought at the same
time is difficult task, yet it is demand
ed by the reading world, and if the fas-
tidious claims are not fully met, the
seal of condemnation is affixed, and the
large expenditure of the hazardous trial
falls upon him who has been so rash rs
to launch his all upon the perilous sea
of popular opinion.
Let those who criticise newspapers
try the experiment of editing one before
they pass a wholesale censure upon the
shor.coming of such adventures. Let
them empty their purses to the last
available penny-tax their brains night
" for the matter that Is to ensure de-
feat or success-plod daily the same
monotonous, irksome round of duty,
and after all this be denounced and ridi-
culed; If this docs not cure the carping
spirit. such disease is beyond the con-
troll of remedies.
We say to ali such grumblers, invest
in n newspaper yourself If you desire
sure gains, sound sleep, anti-dyspeptic
tendencies. and perfect exemption
from invidious comment. In one twelve
month you will learn more OF the little
worries of life-more of the caprices of
popular favor--morc of the trcachery of
the masses, and the pitiable lack OF HUI
man generosity and charity than you
would learn in lifetime in any other
enterprise Try it, and you'll wear the
thorny crown of humility before you are
n wear older: and the starch will be ta-
ken out of your self-esteem to harmon
ias with your general surroundings.
We expect too much OF our wecklies;
they must give all the current news of
the day-social, political and ecclesias-
tical-and enlarge on every little item
that may enl st our sympathy or elicit
our interest The original matter must
be of the highest standard, and the
selections such as the finest taste APP
proves; there must be nothing common
place, hackneyed or dull, and novelty
and excitement must keep alive an I'M
tagging interest. and all this pandering
to the public palate is not to cost the
paltry sum of five cents n week.
Though our journalists are with u
few exceptions, general benefactors.
giving the largest amount of useful in
formation at the smallest cost. counsel
ling and admonishing when danger
threatens, offering remedies for evil,
and guarding with ceaselcss and faith.
full vigilance every avenue where the
public happiness. prosperity or liberty
Is imperilled, they are. in the main.
the most poorly recompensed of any
class of public servants.
Should newspaper fail to meet your
views and taste, lay it aside, depressing
all denunciation, remember that your
own performances. are more faulty un-
der smaller extenuating circumstances.
