Mrs. Ulysses s. Grant.

OF the living wives OF presidents Mrs.
Ulysses S. Grant leads as quiet life
as any. She has gone to Florida now
with the family OF x-Governor Leland
Stanford, with whom she is very init
mate. She has of late been writing
"reminiscences. When Col. Fred Grant
was asked il she meant to publish them
in book he replied that her work in
that way was entirely q matter OF
impulse, and that there was no GER
tainty asyet whether it would Reprint.
ed. 1t is sure that she will not lack op-
portunity. Uncounted publishers are
bidders for the manuscript, but they
are told that she has nothing to sell.
The probability is that Mark Twain's
firm, having done as well for her and
themselves in the issue Of Gen. Grants
memoirs, will be able and willing to
outbid their rivals. Nevertheless,
when Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., went into
The Cosmopolitan Magazine as vice
president and stakeholder, it was
thought in literary circles that Mrs.
Grant would help him by putting her
"reminiscences into that periodical.
Col. Grant denies strenuously that
his brother is being backed in any
other way than by loan OF money
from his mother, and the authorized
assertion is that. although shares OF
the stock stand in young Ulysses
name. he Is trustee for her. That is
Il legal technicality to protect him as
a bankrupt from the Grant d Ward
failure. My careful prediction is that
Mrs. Grant will publish something
within the year.-Clara Belle in Chi
cago Tribune.

In a Lumber Slash.

A doctor of divinity, who writes to
tie Forest and Stream of his angling
adventures, tells OF being stuck in a
"slash:" Presently we came to q
"lumber slash" This signifies a Sec
ton of forest where hemlock trees
have been felled in the winter, their
trunks peeled off the marketable bark,
and then left to decay. The stumps
here were about six feet high, indi-
eating the depth OF snow on the
ground at the time the woodman did
his work; the branches renamed on
the prone trees, making an almost
impenetrable barrlcade. 1t is easier
getting a comb through q tramps
hair than a fy-rod through such q
labyrinth OF dry brush. Alas! for me
that was in haste. Alas again that
it is my fate to wear eyeglasses.
Alas! once more that Johnny had

Go ahead l could not; to 90 back

Johnny's help, however, l recovered
my eyeglasses; he discovered them
hanging on limb; I deliberately pro-
ceeded to untwist and unsnarl my
line and to carefully encase my rod.

HeTook His Bell Punch Home

ductors took his bell punch home

til noon next day he slept until about
9o'clock. While he was visiting the
land ofNod the children got the punch
and were amusing themselves with it
when their mamma caught them at it.
She took the machine away from
them and forgot to tell the old man,
who after eating his breakfast skipped
off to work with out noticing that
anything was wrong. Well, the next
day when he reported at the office the
superintendent told him that he was
just 1896 fares short. 1t paralyzed
him for while. and then he asked
how it was, and they showed him the
record. You see the CON all carry q
book in addition to the punch, and
every time they collect fare they
mark it ON the book as well as pulling
the punch. When you leave the Office
the number Indicated by your bell
punch is taken, and when you come
in it is also taken. the former SUBJ
tracted from the latter, which gives
the number of fares and must agree
with the book record. This conduc-

explain. But he does not carry that

Encourage the Editor.

AS rule, an editor gets about
900 kicks to one caress. Once IN q
while he gets q kind word. and it
warns and cheers his weather beaten,
storm racked heart to the innermost
core. Most people are afraid to tell
an editor when he writes an article
that particularly pleases them. for
fear OF making him proud, we suppose,
but if they find anything that does
not accord precisely with their views,
they will neglect their business to
hunt him up and tell him of it. Pshawl
dear friends, don't think you will
spoil the editor by giving him an oc-
casional word of cheer, any more than
you will spoil your child by compli-
menting it upon q piece of patchwork
it has finished. Of course you could
beat the jobyourself, but that doesn't
deter you from heaping words of
encouragement on the child. 1t has
done its best. So you could doubtless
beat the average editor at running q
paper? OF course, you can. The
man does not live who can't beat all
editor at running a paper. The edi-
tor is willing to acknowledge that you
can. He only rune it because you
have not time to; but this fact need
not deter you from giving HIM q word
OF encouragement occasionally

The Rights of Inventors

When an inventor BRINGS out some
thing that accomplishes a useful pur.
pose not before accomplished, or
does this better Or more economically
than it has been done, it is reasonably
certain he has invented something in
the value of which he has an interest.
And this point is the one that is over
looked by those who declaim against
the rights of inventors in favor OF
some one who tried to do something
similar twenty years before. The
very fact that the party who tried
first did not succeed is fairly good
evidence that he did not make the in.
vention. All recent construction OF
patent law is in favor of sustaining
the inventor who accomplishes some
thing, as against the man who tried
and failed, even though the means
used are very similar. And this is
Justice and common sense. The pat
emit laws are presumably in the inter-
est of the public, and the public is
interested in the inventor to exactly
the extent that 1t is benefited by him.
