military post near that city. Grant at
that time owned a pacing pony that was

and was very dignified. Grants course

started the PAGER up long before he got

holding on to the seat of the buggy with

other, while Grant was holding on 10 the
pony to steady him and not saying a
word. When the ride was ended the
bishop expressed his thanks to Grant
for the courtesy shown him, but Grant
could never get him into his buggy again.

There's the noisy boy
And the quiet boy
And the boy who flunks at school
There's the boy who's sly
And the boy who's fly
And the boy who apes the mule.
But OF all the boys
Who nourish the joys
OF the mothers heart at home,
Is the boy who's weak
And timid and meek
The Darling who win not roam.
Thst the world IS tough
And rugged and rough
Full well his mother knows.
How can she hear
To see him dare
It's grim, unfeeling blows
For what to her
Are life's prod and spur.

Though born to rule

Might ruin her he7o's plan.
