GRANTS EAR FOR MUSIC,

On One Occasion He Thought "The Girl I
Left Behind Me" Was .'Yankee Doodle"
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was not a
musician. While he laid no claim to
any talent in that direction he took a
certain degree of pride in being able to
distinguish two tunes from all that he
ever heard. He frequently remarked
that he never failed to recognize "OId
Hundred" and Yankee Doodle"
In the spring of 1850 Gen. and Mrs
Grant were in Galena, occupying the
house which Mrs. Grant still owns.
April %, the fifty-ninth birthday of
Grant. a number of his friends and
fellow-townsmen, in recognition of the
event, gathered at his home to treat
him to a serenade and wish him many
happy returns" The Germania band
of Dubuque, at that time the popular
musical organization of the northwest,
had been engaged for the occasion, but.
failing to keep the engagement, the
local band was called upon to furnish
the music. The visitors and band as
sembled in the front yard and the latter
opened the services with it's usual
opening melody: ''The Girl Left Be
hind Me"
Just before the final notes were dying
out Gen. Grant appeared on the ver-
anda, where he stood resignedly until
the musicians had blown out their Gus
tomary three airs. Then he stepped for
ward and heartily welcomed the entire
crowd, at the same time inviting the
people inside, where they were cordially
greeted by Mrs. Grant An hour was
delightfully."- spent and the citizens took
their departure. One of the party,
however, remained behind long enough
to apologize for the not too excellent
quality of the music which the band
had furnished. The generals reply
was as follows:
"You might as well have serenaded
me with tin pans, as far as / am con-
cerned, as know less about music than
anything else 1 can think of. 1 know,
of course, that yo1r band played
Yankee Doodle for It's opening piece.
but whether it played artistically or
not am not able to judge"
Further apologies were not deemed
necessary. nor did his friends enlighten
him that his uncultivated ear had mis-
taken THE Girl l Left Behind Me" tor
one of the two airs which he never
failed to recognize. Tribune.

ling Crags Upon the Placid
Waters.
Col. Alfred F. Story and small party
of friends have returned from fishing
expedition at Lake Alexander, when Is
located ON the Northern Pacific railroad
between Little Falls and Staples. The
lake is surrounded by rug
ged bluffs, with overhangTng rocks
ON one side. 1t is noted
for its good fishing qualities. Col. Story
admits that the fishing was not good.
but tells story that has not been sur
passed by any fishing party this year,
and has brought home a tangible proof
Of the truth of at least part OF tae
story. This is 'sEhe Frozen Pirate,
cut of which is given III this column.
The story told is about as follows: My
friends and l went to Lake Alexander
TO fish. and we camped out. We found
the fish would not bite, and wondered
at this, because the lake has good
reputation among fishermen. During
the day we noticed that the lake
was full of gelatine particles about
the size of peas. This seemed to come
up from the bottom Of the lake and
cover the surface. The weeds and
grass in the lake were covered by small
specks that looked like Embellishments.
These we found were small gloh-
ules of water. We were surprised
at the appearance of these small

them up for the return trip they had,
perhaps, a hundred pounds of splendid

trout jump up falling water is wonder
