Some of the good people of George

attempt to show how very ordinary
Ulysses Grant was, says Hamlin Gar

could drive team 600 miles across
country and arrive safely; who could
load wagon with heavy logs by his own
mechanical ingenuity; who insisted on
solving all mathematical problems him.
self; who never whispered or lied or
swore Or quarreled; who could train
horse to pace or trot at will; who stood
scuarely upon his own knowledge OF
things without resorting to trick or
mere verbal memory-such a boy, at
this distance, does not appear or
dinary," stupid, dull or commonplace.
That he was not snowy OF easily valued
was true. His unusualness was in the
balance Of his character, in his pose, in
his native Judgment and in his knoWl-
edge of things at first hand.
Even at 16 years of age he had super
stition that to retreat was fatal. When
he set hand to any plan or started upon
any journey he felt the necessity of
going to the turn of the lane or to the
end of the furrow. He was resolute and
unafraid always; q boy to be trusted
and counted upon-sturdy, capable Of
hard knocks. What he was in speech

would try to do it, but also that he had
thought his way to the successful end
Of the undertaking. He was, in fact, an

Notice to Taxpayers.

The undersigned deGires to call tll. at
tention Of all taxpayers, who have not
already paid their taxes, to the follow
ing section of the Revised Codes of
North Dakota for 1895, in regard to the
distress and sale of personal property
for delinquent taxes:
Section 1887. No demand Of taxes
shall be necessary; but 1t shall be the
duty of every person subject to ta,:atlOn
under this law to attend at the treasucer's
office at the county seat and pay his
taxes, and II any person SO fails to atte nd
and pay his taxes. until after the first Of
October, after the same shall have be-
come due, the treasurer is directed and
required to collect the same by distress
and sale; provided, that in case any per-
son, having only personal property as
seSseG, and upon which Tie taxes are
unpaid, shall in the opinion Of the treas
ilrer, be about to move out of the county,
it shall be the duty Of the treasurer tr
collect such taxes at any time after the
tax duplicate has been placed in his
hands; provided, however, tina; in case
any person owing taxes removes from
any county in this state to any other
county IN this state, the county treas
,lrer shall forward such claim to the
treasurer Of the county to which sucl,
person has removed, and such taxes
shall be collected by the county treas
,lrer of the latter place, as other taxes
pnd returned to the proper county, less
legal charges.
l hope that all persons now owing
taxes will come forward promptly AND
pay the same before Oct. lst, and save
themselves costs. f. r. ZAHL,

Mind and Body.

In many forms Of illness of lasting.
but not necessarily severe character.
the continued low condition of the sys-
tenn tends to bring on an uneasy,
watchful, nervous" state of mind.
This mental condition often outlasts
the physical weakness, and is liable to
become chronic. The sufferers family.
and even the physician, are sometimes
at their wits end to effect a cure: for
until the patient is reused to the ne
cessity of forcing his body into activity
and of forgetting himself, the task is
almost hopeless.
