How He Came to Adopt ''U. s." as His
Initials.
Up to the start for West Point, Grant
had been Hiram Ulysses, or H. Ulysses
Grant. The young traveller required a
trunk, and Thomas Walker, local
''genius, was the man TO make it. He
did so, and, to finish it off, he traced on
the cover in big brass tacks the initials
"H. U. G." James Marshall, Ulysses
cousin, went to help him carry the new
trunk home. Ulysses looked at the big,
glaring letters. 81 won't have that so, :"
he said. cit spells hug The boys
would plague me about it. :" And he
thereupon shifted his middle name and
became Ulysses II. Grant, and SO he
went forth into the world.
He registered at Roe's hotel, West
Point, on the goth of May, as ~. H.
Grant" and the same day reported to
the adjutant, George G. Waggaman,
deposited $48 and signed his name
Ulysses Hiram Grant. His name as re-
ported from Washington, however, was
.. S. Grant, and the error arose in this
way; The Hon. Thomas Hamer received
the letter of Jesse Grant only the day
before the close of his term, and, being
much hurried, sat down at once and
wrote to Secretary of War Poinsett, ask.
ing for the appointment of his neighbor s
son. He knew the hoy's name to be
Ulysses, and, inferring that his middle
name was Simpson, SO filled in the ap.
plication, and thus it stood when Ulysses
faced the adjutant
He asked to have it changed, but was
told it was impossible without the con-
sent Of the secretary Of war.
Every we'll, " he said. 81 came here
to enter the military academy, and en-

gets inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
