Ulysses Grant was, says Hamlin Gar
land in McClure's. A boy of 10 who
could drive team GOO miles across
country and arrive safely; who could
load q 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 a
horse to pace or trot at will; who stood
souarely upon his own knowledge of
things without resorting to trick or
mere verbal memory-such u boy, at
this distance, does not appear "cr-
dinary," stupid, dull or commonplace.
That he was not snowy or easily valued
was true His unusualness was in the
balance of his character, in his pose, in
his native Judgment and il his knowl-
edge of things ut 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
my journey he felt the necessity of
going to the turn Of the lane or to the
end Of the furrow. He was resolute and
urafraid always; a boy to be trusted
and counted upon-sturdy, capable OF
hard knocks. What he was in speech
hs was in grain. If he said: II can do
that" he not merely meant that he
would try to do it, but also that he had
thought his way to the successful end
of the undertaking. He was, in fact, on

THE CLAIRvOYANT OPERATOR.
She Buys or Sells Wheat with n Twist
of the Wrist.

She Buys or sells " neht WIN IL 1"ist
of the Wrist.
An odd sight is to be with essed daily
on the Consolidated exchange. Visitors
for some time have noted little group
of women who stand all day long in the
gallery at the Broadway end of the
building, says the New York Mail and
Express. They also notice one particu-
lar broker on the floor who is continual
ly craning his neck and glancing at one
of the women in that group. Every once
in awhile, after glance, he jumps into
the wheat pit, which is just under the
edge of the gallery, and makes trans
action.
Only the observing will notice, how
ever, any connection between his opera
tions and the woman whom he watches.
From 10: 80 o'clock till three o'clock she
stands there, with one hand resting over
the railing. With slight movements of
this hand she gives orders to buy and
sell wheat to the broker. The number
offingers extended indicates the number
of thousands of bushels to be done, and
q twist up or down of the whole hand
tells the broker whether to buy or sell.
But that is not the queer part of it.
A stranger asked one of the brokers,
friend of his, who the woman was.

clairvoyant operator. She's real clair
voyant all right and she reads the future
