The Rise Of Aiger.

Alger is the New England kind of men,

his youth was passed in the dull existence
OF clearing new country and waiting for
something to happen. He went to Michi-
gan and, falling in love. had the hardlhosd
of all our great men to marry FIRST and
think ABOUT it afterward. He married a
fine woman with natural heart and
plenty of natural courage. The girls who
see through the condition of man into
his manhood are those who draw the Ha-
vana lottery prizes in the world. General
Alger found himselfin box. a man strapped
for money. with his wife on his hands; bill

to pay for his wedding trip vas protested by
somebody out OF means who could not re-

cnmstances the transplanted OHIO boy
heard he call 10 arms. and when be led out
his little troop he did not know what to
say to them. whether right face" for
ward march," or what So he said to the
soldier in command. "You know how to
follow me, so just keep by me-" and so
they had a walk around. That was the
first drill of the commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic. But when they
came TO actual war, and in the meantime
General Ager had carefully studied the
book OF tactics and employed drill mas

to have something to do quickly got ahead
OF the man who wanted to be consulted as
TO whether he should do it or not. 1t was
the interference OF the educated mind in
the business OF the first part of the civil
war which turned everything into folly and
confusion.
