GRANTS CHARGES.

From his earliest boyhood General
Grant was an expert rider, and like
Washington, he possessed mysteri-
Gus power over horses. He ridiculed
the idea that he could be thrown. so
long as the horse kept on his feet. He
asked but one thing of a steed, and
that was that he should go. No Mexi-
can vaquero, Bedouin sheik or Ameri-
can cowboy had firmer seat, or mere
resembled centaur. Early in the
Mexican war Grant purchased a SUI
perb stallion that had just been cap
tured from a herd of wild Texas
horses. He was bindfolded and
then saddled for the first time.
The young lieutenant, springing
lightly into the saddle, ordered
the blindfold removed, when the
untamed steed bounded like bull,
reared, leaped, threw his head almost
to the ground, sprang first to the right
and then to the left in his efforts to
unseat his rider; but finding all his
efforts futile, he dashed away at ter
rife rate of speed, soon disappearing
in the distant chaparra!. General
Longstreet, who after more than half
century recalls the incident, in let
ter to the present writer, states that
no anxiety was felt concerning Grants
safety, who was then, as we'll as pre-
viously while a cadet at the Military
Academy, universally recognized as
an accomplished and fearless horse
man. OF Cortez, as Lieutenant Grant
named his wild charger, he wrote IN
his Personal Memoirs:
81 had, however, but little difficulty
in breaking him, although the first
day there were frequent disagreements
between us as to which way we should
go, and sometimes as to whether we
should go at all. At no time during
the day could choose exactly the part
Of the column would march with, but

A big, fine-looking man sat in the
corner of Brooklyn car reading his
newspaper. Next to him sat little
woman in an up-to-date frock. She
had box of candy in one hand and
an opera libretto in the other, says the
New York Telegraph. She tried to
get newspaper from newsboy who
came through the car. but the con-
ductor broke up the transaction, and
selling the small newsdealer, put him
down on the pavement. Then the
pretty woman in the up-to-date frock
paid her fare in pennies and smiled.
The big mans newspaper was spread
out before her eyes, and she glanced at
the headlines. Then she read half a
column about thrilling rescue Of
typewriter girl by gallant fireman.
She glanced sideways at the big man.
Apparently he was taking no notice.
She began on a story Of burglars in
q south side fiat, how they bound and
gagged woman. stole her sealskin
sacque and ooh, the horrld
things!" she exclaimed excitedly. The
big man looked around inquiringly,
and then. quite as matter of course,
he said: Have you finished this page,
madam? If so, let us turn to the stock
reports and the society news"

dancers in my life, but l have never
enjoyed waltz so much as the last
one. 1t is the perfection of motion
which you have, and it is charming
gift. Really, can call it nothing less
than gift" He had expected care
less acknowledgment of this compli.
ment, and was amazed when she said
gravely:
"And gift is something which
ought to be used, suppose THAT Is
what my sisters would say"
Then they would approve of you,
surely, for have you not been putting
it to the best use possible?"
Il meant that it ought to be used for
Others"
ut has been-for as many others as
could avail themselves Of it. re-
greet that it has not been used more for
me. One dance is a short allowance, II
seems to me-"
The beautiful head was shaken with
yet greater gravity.
Some time soon am going to show
you what l mean, Mr.. Hadley," and
then, smiling and dimpling, she went
away with her next partner.
1t was month later when Kenneth
Hadley received a letter from Miss
Vanderpool asking him to be at the
Brown street settlement on certain
night. Mr.. Hadley was not interest
ed in settlements, but he was in Miss
Vanderpool, and he accepted the invi-
tation. His cab took him along a
thronged street, past tenement houses
and saloons and shops and stores till
he came to the brightly lighted tene-
ment house standing, tidy and serene
looking, in the midst of block. He
asked for Miss Vanderpool and was
shown past the crowded classrooms
and lecture halls and music rooms to
a room on the upper floor. The sound
Of a piano, violin and harp came out
to salute his ears with familiar tune,
and he opened the door and stood
within a large room filled with young
men and women. But it was not
party which he beheld. He saw that
at once. 1t was a dancing class. The
pupils stood in line, awaiting the d.
rections of their teacher.
He looked about him for Miss Van
derpool, but the chairs by the wall
were vacant. Probably he had arrived

Come now and let us reason, saith the
Lord,
If there be not for men an holier

For we shall lay no lines of less re-

When it were due to pause, one

And on apace-when DER this world OF

he beheld her-Marie Vandcrpool-in

dancing skirt, standing before the
class. 1t was she who was the teach

beWitchingly. Her golden head looked

ever. She seemed the incarnated spirit

toward him.

You dance it so beautifully" She
called to the musicians to play ma
zurka, gave the class permission to
be seated, and poised herself delicate
ly. Come, come!" she cried again.
II insist on your dancing the best you
know how"
Kenneth Hadley, the dlgnlfied and
reserved, the man who had thought
himself little better than others and
mad held himself somewhat haughtily
aloof, bowed to his destiny and en-
tered heart and soul upon his task.
Nearly the whole evening was spent
upon this dance.
I'VE must get 1t Just right" Miss
Vanderpool insisted. you see, we are
not learning in quite the usual way
on account of lack of the knowledge
of the rudiments on the part of the
teacher" And she laughed. But we
propose to dance as well as those who
have learned in the regular, old-fash-
toned way"
Hadley looked about him and saw
in every face, whether it was that of
a young man or young woman, OF Jew
or Christian, CT German, Bohemian,
scandinavian, or Italian, of factory
hand or worker in the stock yards,
look Of admiration and respect for
Miss Vanderpool. Moreover, her in
fictitious happiness had brought vi
vacity and something akin to delight
even into the heaviest face.

earnestly. 81 wish l might help you

"Oh, you could. you could! But for

ERE CENTURY DAWN.

A Memorial Day School Recitation for
1900.
In this the waning light of rounded
years,
We swing the portals of the century
near,
In ecstacy of hope-through blur of
tears
We wait the word prophetic, be Of
cheer.
The Holy of the Holes enter we,
The dream of ages, and of seers
foretold,
A day Of kinder motive, bondless, free,
The century-tide, where meet the
New and Old.
In clash of hungry steel and din of
hate,
We hear the echo of dying past;
We pray it jangle not the newborn
state,
Nor that its clang this pregnant
year outlast.
For dispensation new the world hath
need
OF peace on earth and Gods good
will to men,
Where Love shall make new war-on
lust of greed,
And old war steel shall thirst for
blood in vain.
And what have we to gain Of arms We
bear,
We nations army-mad, in fevered
strife;
What measure shall we mete for blood
we spare,
For waste of treasure and for sunk
en- life?
The fittest have we drained, to mar and
Stay,
Survive the weakling, to beget your
young;
Decadence dogs your dead march all
the way,

WISE WORDS.

A foolish friend is more trouble.
some than a wise enemy. Even il
your enemy is as small as a fly, fancy
him as large as an elephant. The
man who weeps for every one will
soon become blind He who rides
only borrowed horses will seldom
mount into the saddle.
True independence never merges
into isolation but gladly welcomes
every aid from every source-not in
servile and lndolent subiectlon, but
as the growing plant welcomes the
warm sun and the refreshing rain by
which it is to gain in strength, in
beauty, and in fruitfulness.
Large views, high hopes and unsel-
Gsh aims dissipate q whole army Of
petty trials, annoyances and irrita-
tions, and even greatly reduce real
anxieties and solicitude.
The mind requires not, like an
oarthen vessel, to be kept full; con-
-enient food aliment only will infu-
ence it with a desire of knowledge and
sn ardent love of truth.
What a world Of gossip would be
prevented if it were only remembered
that a person who tells you Of the
faults of others intends to tell Others
Of your faults.
Very slight words and deeds may
have a sacramental efficacy, if we car
cast our self-love behind us, in order
to say or do them.
All great natures delight in stabil
ity; all great men find eternity af
firmed in the very promise of thei
faculties.
Whatever your calling, master al
its bearings and details, its principles
instruments and applications.

wnd Horse. neIng EHtermlnnteI.

The wild horse Of the West seems
destined to share the fate Of the buf-
falo. Slowly, but surely, the great
herds Of these beautiful animals
which roam the plains of Washington,
Idaho and Montana are being decl-
mated. In the last two years at least
65, 600 head Of horses have been re-
moved from the ranges of Eastern
Washington alone.
This loss has been double the nat
ural increase, reducing the number
of wild horses in that State from
about 1875, 600 to 80, 900 or 10000. At
this rate of decrease they would last
for some years, but the fact is that
the horses are being confined to O
smaller area each successive year,
thereby increasing their chances of
destruction.
At least 5000 horses died of starya-
tion last winter in the districts north
and south of the Snake River. Fifty
to eighty per cent. Of some bands
vanished under the conditions Of
short grass and leep saow.

Many old stories are told with re.

other eide to the question. During
the Franco Prussian War a lady in a
carriage was stopped en- her way
through the Prussian liues. A search
was instituted to see whether she had
been playing the spy or had suspicious
papers. Nothing was found until the
Prussians came to certain black
box, which the lady positively re.
fused to give up or allow to be
opened. She was told that she must.
She refused, abused the soldiers as

ally the box was opened by force in

The voldt a Fine Camping Ground.

We have seen a good deal of camp
life on the Veldt, and if one excerpts a
few diseomforts, such as the brown
color of our drinking water and an
occasional fight of locusts, we must
admit that the yeldt with it's level
space and bracing air, is an almost
ideal field for campaigning. And even
the storms of dust, rain and locusts
are welcome in moderation, for they
are features of the country which go
to make up full experience of life in
South Africa. In one week there
have been two transforms and one
fight of locusts. There is certainly
no hardship in that; indeed the rain
is most welcome, for it cools the air
and helps to lay the dust. H. j. Wig
