A PRAIRIE DREAMER.

Years ago. against the side of cottage
in Wichita, a paint brush went 1ip-7ap
against the withdrawing in the HANDS
of Jack Grant. He whstlei AZ his work.
daubing the rough places in the boards
vigorously and laying the paint evenly and
with professional precision along tn eyel-
low pine.
But as ne whistled and piled the brush
he was eaming-dreaming of anoth er
cline and fame and fortune which beck
oned him there. From his ladder-ham-
mock he could gaze out upon the wide
prairie where the tireless wind tossed the
high grass into shadow-chasing pillows.
and II brought to his mind the sea. the
fierce, hungry sea, with the plumber of its
assaults strewn along the bottom; bulls
richly laden rotting away in the still water
OF fathoms depth; ships of grace, strength
injury. And he dreamed of raising them /;
of retaining the craft from the clutches
0: the ocean. and he said: II can regain
what the sea has seized"
There was as much likelihood that q
sailor, with salt brine in his hair, handy
legged from clinging 20 a swaying deck
and scampering cat-like along a yard
arm, there was as much likelihood that
q sailor would invent an improved thresh-
ing machine as there was that this prairie
imprisoned house-painter would pronounce
an open sesame at the hiding place of the
robber ocean.
And yet Grant did respond to Fame and
Fortune, who I'm his day-dreams babe him
come.
The idea that a man can break at once
a single thread, two. three, four, five, but
not ten, was an idea that turned about
inversely meant that if man could get
bladders enough he could lift anything out
of the water that ever f1oated. 1t might
have been the place in the natural order
OF things. for mariner ito think of this.
But it's a fact that plainsman did think
of it.
Jack Grant of Wichita. who died the 9TH
er day in New York City. Just as he was
about to realize a long deferred dream
In the utilization of his wrecking ap-
pliance by lieutenant ,Hobson, was one
of three brothers, all Of whom were paint
ers, and who came TO Wichita shortly
after it's first incorporation as a town.
They were all honest and Industrious, but
Jack was subject to lead poison TO that
extent that he could work only portion
of the time ht his trade, from the effects
