The Correct Answer.

Under the heading, a Little Problem"
the Baltimore American prints the fol-
lowing.
"a asks B to lend him 50 cents.
b has but 3 cents and gives that to a.
"A accepts it, remarking that he will
trust for the balance.
B later asks A to settle with him,
whereupon A claims that. as b owes him
3 cents, one debt offsets the other.
what Is the answer
We don't know what the answer would
be in Baltimore, but out here in the
wild and woOlly west it would be a swift
and Earring jolt on the point of AS jaw.

A giraffe is very timid on hearing

says: NOISY sounds. like a man walk
ing by with hobnail boots. it does not
notice, but a lady coming in with hard
ly more sound than the rustling of her
dress makes it start. with pricked ears
and eyes distended. We remember
well, after a terrible explosion Of gun
powder on a barge on the canal, ask
ing the keeper of the CRATES Of that
day how they had taken it, and he said
he was surprised how very little notice
they took. They jumped to their feet.

when they found nothing happened.
But" he added, "if l were at night
time to creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be so scared that l
believe they would dash themselves to
bits" They fear the lurking foe, and
a bling bang scares them less than a
faint. rustling sound. They are in that
respect very deerlike."

placed carefully on her pantry shelves,

GRANTS RETREAT

The General Went When . Police
mans Club Pointed the Way.
Speaking Of nightsticks reminds me
Of seeing General Grant in his to my
mind greatest hour, the only time he
was ever beaten, and by a policeman.
n told his son, Fred Grant, Of it when
he became a police commissioner in the
nineties, but I do not think he appre-
ciated 1t. He was not cast In his great
fathers mold. The occasion I refer to
was after the generals second term in
the presidency. He was staying at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. when one morning
the Masonic temple was burned. The
fire line was drawn half way down the
block toward Fifth avenue, but the po-
lice were much hampered by the crowd
and were out Of patience when /, stand
ing by, saw a man in a great ulster
with head buried deep in the collar, a
cigar sticking straight out, coming
down the street from the hotel. l
recognized him at sight as General
Grant. The policeman who blocked
his way did not. He grabbed him by
the collar, swung him about and, hit
ting him a resounding whack across
the back with his club, yelled out:
Whats the matter with you? Don't
you see the fire lines? Chase yourself
out Of here and be quick about It."
The general never said a word. He
did not stop to argue: the matter. He
had run up against a sentinel and when
stopped went the other way. That was
all. The man had a right to be there;
he had none was never SO much an
admirer of Grant as since that day. 1t
was true greatness. A smaller man
would have made a row, stood upon his
dignity and demanded the punishment
Of the policeman. AS for him. there
was probably never so badly frighten-
ed a policeman when l told him whom
he had dubbed. l will warrant he did
not sleep for a week. fearing all kinds
Of things. No need of 1t. Grant prob
ably gave him a thought.-Jacob
