Upon him the Adjutant General also
put critical eye, when Grant applied to

be disposed to measure the unassuming
man by his clothes rather than by his
record and his intelligence. He, too,
said: well, 1 don't know that there
is anything you can do to help us. We
are pretty we'll organized. But" he
added, ''hold on: you must know how
to rule blanks for the making out of
such reports as we make up. You GER
tainly learned how to do that when
you were in the army"
"Oh, yes," replied Capt. Grant, II
know how those blanks should be
ruled.n
"Well, you see, ontinued Adjutant
General, I'VE are short of these blanks.
You may come around tomorrow.
Capt. Grant came according to ap.
pointment, and paper, ink and pen,
with ruler were given to him. But he
was not permitted to have desk in the
room where most 70 the clerks of the
Adjutant General worked. That was
room well carpeted, a room with other
convenient and comfortable furniture.
Just outside of it was little ante room,
where the floor was bare and the only
furniture was plain table and hard
bottomed chair. There they put Capt.
Grant and set him at work ruling
blanks; and thus, in that humbles of
clerical work he, who was few years
later to command all its armies, and
finally to rule the nation, began his
formal service in the war; -McClure's
