and lie IS now the confidential secretary
OF General Nelson A. Miles. He has
had the confidence OF many great men,
and today he has the secret history OF a
score OF famous statesmen's lives stored
away in his shorthand notes given to
him by the men themselves, with the
understanding that the matter is not to
be published until after their deaths.

waged during his stormy administration
in the White House, but it came during
the last few months OF his life, when
bankrupted and made penniless by the
villain Ward, when racked with pain and
enfeebled by disease, he shook his fist in
the face OF death, and wrote the book
which made his widow and his family
wealthy. No other good book has ever
been written under such circumstances
Few books have ever been written which
read so we'll. The language is as simple
as that of Pilgrims Progress or Robin
son Crusoe, and the story is Of thrilling
interest from beginning TO end. To
read it you would not think that much
OF it was dictated in voice not above a
whisper, and that the thought came
forth from brain surrounded by nerves
which were ever twitchiug with agonized
pain. Few books have had so great
sale as that OF Grants. Hundreds OF
thousands oil copies were sold, and MIS-
Grant, not long ago, told me that her
ROYALTIES upon II have amounted 10 more
than halt million dollars. The book
sells well today, and it will be standard
book TOR all time to come.

wrote was carefully reserved"

How about that money that he got

"He got nothing from Vanderbilt after
the failure. He borrow ed $4,000 OF
him the day before he failed, bat every
cent of this went to Ward and was
swallowed up. understand that all he

How was thatr'

Dawson MANY poor men wrote that

others, he got one very touching letter
from Lansingburg, N. Y. This came
| about four days after the failure of Grant
| and Ward. Il was from a man whom
| General Grant had never seen. He
wrote the general that he had made
some money out OF his business and
| that he had saved few thousand del
lars. This he said he would like TO lend
to the general in his extremity He in

when he got ready. He told the gem
eral he would lend him $1,000 at once
, Tor his note at twelve months without
interest, with the option OF renewing at
the same rate. This affected General
Grant very much. He accepted the
check and used it. After the govern.
ment gave him his pension he paid the
money back as soon as he could"

made for the family, and when the gem

were present, and had them all write
their autographs upon it. This was dur
ing the very last days OF Grants life,
and Others seeing my photograph were
anxious that Grant should write similar
autographs Tor them. He was too weak,
however, TO do so, and so have the
only autograph copy in existence"
MAKING HISTORY ON THE RpGE OF THE
GRAVE.
''How did General Grant work."
"His work was varied" replied Mr..
Dawson. "When first came he diotat-
ed quite great deal and wrote some
what on slips of paper which he gave me
to copy. As lie grew weaker he had to
do his dictation early in the morning. 1t
was at that time that he felt stronger.
At the last he seldom dictated more
than an hour at sitting. This was
enough TO tire him out, As the days
went on and death came nearer his
throat grew weaker and weaker. had

"Was Grant an easy writer"
YES" replied Mr.. Dawson, "He
thought clearly and wrote easily. He
dictated we'll. He could say what he
thought in the simplest language and

form. His military orders were so
