Gen Sheridan was born in Somerset, Ohio
March &, 1881. His parents were poor. John
Sheridan, Pills father tried TO make some
money as railroad contractor, but invariably
met with ill-luck.
Phil Sheridan as boy had but few opportuni-
ties. His school-days were few.
At the age of ~ Phil had To 60 TO work. He
found employing mt in hardware store in the
village, kept by John Talbot with whom he
manned four months. He then obtained place
as a clerk for Fink & Dittoe, in the dry goods
business, remaining with them until 1si7. He
seemed pretty well satisfied with mercantile
pursuits until he read one day Of vacancy at
West Point, which half the fathers of the dis
trict were begging Gen. Richie the Congress
man. to fill with their boys. Phil sat right down
and wrote Gen. Richie straightforward APP
plcation without anybodys Endorsement or
even advice. Richie knew who the Sheridans
were. the Irish were becoming quite numerous
among his constituents, and he thought IL
would be a happy idea TO let AZ 60 abroad that
lie had appointed one OF tie race TO the military
hool The appointment was quickly made
and widely announced.

time, Immediately applied the remedies
which proved successful in all similar
previous attacks, but this time they were
without effect, and despite all that could
be done the General gradually sank into
a condition of complete Inconsistencies,
