GEN. GRANTS DESK.

Wood desk at which Capt Ulysses S
Grant afterward commander of the
Chloh armies and president of tn.
Chiled States, once sat and made a not
very lat living in the real estate business
in St Louis

rent and he told a reporter a few DAYS
ago now it tEavslel from Grants office
to this Cleveland attic.
IN ISf0 he said Il was vounr
lawyer just starting, and | rented a part
OF my office to a life insurance man
named Avery, who came from ST. Louis.
lie brought with him this oId-time desk
ana when he left my office he owed ME
some rent, and he left the desk in paw
ment, with the understanding that he
was TO nave the right to redeem it at
any time. That was thirty years ago,
and guess he's dsaI now.

In Avery's office, and this was the desk.
Avery got it when Grant went to the
war IN part payment for rent as | did
later from Avery He told me a greet
deal that was interest ng about Grant.
When he was in the real estate bust
ness the Crimean war was on and Grant
was much more inte rested in that than
ne was in real estate. He made large
maps of the battlefelds in the Cr,n1-a.
with the positions of the fighting arm es
marked on them, and he used to spend
hours over these maps, which he spread
ton Of
GERS IN the allies campaign annoyed him
greatly and he used to tell his friends
what the commanders should have done
Here is the Engl sh position" he
would say, according to Avery, planting
his finger on his map, ''and here the
French. The Turks are here Over
here are the Russians. The allies shouid
not have attacked here; that was a mis-
take. 1t was just what the Russians
wanted them to do, for it gave them
an opening. What the allies should
have done was to feint here to distract
the attention Of the Russians to their
flank, and then concentrate their forces
ana attack mere In that way they would
nave been able to break through the Rus
sian lines and crimple them back
The groups of Grants fellow citizens
who listened to these crit c SINS. Ayerv
said, used to laugh at the capita MS crfti-
clsms OF the European generals. Proba-
bly, they remembered that later The
more in earnest Grant grew the more
amused they were. Then Grant would
see that they weren't following him and
he would stop.
He was neither silent nor tacturn in
those days, though, and he paid lot
more attention to his war maps than he
did to the real estate business. He seem
ed wholly absorbed in the problems IN
generalship the Crimean war Offered
For many years, Mr. Brewer says, Re
used the old desk himself and he still
keeps it for the sake of it's associations,
but he has no room for it in the Office
he now occupies and that's Why it is
relegated to the attic among the dis
carded and useless furniture piled under
the roof

becomes so arrogant that it openly dedes
the arm of the government, as manifest

it places itself beyond the pale of the law

a GRITTY MARQUIS.

Everybody's Magazine
1t seemed as if every man in the crowd
had become suddenly sober. All stood
with brows drawn and revolvers clutched
tightly, trying to bore into the night and
see who the intruder was. The stranger
guided his horse up to the fire, sprang
TO the ground dropped the long bride
reins at his feet, faced the astonished
men, and remarked:
Now. gentlemen, if you have a rope
ready, here I am l am the Marquis dc
Mores'
The unsteady blaze, leaping up and
railing low, like the pulse of a man who
is dying Of thirst on the desert, showed
the marquis strange, pale face His lips
were drawn in a smile such as some
Of the rustlers had seen in mems faces
when they turned their backs to the wall.
after hope was gone, and fought for the
sake of killing. In his hands were two
long-barreled pistols, upon the nickel
trimmings Of which the light seIntillated.
His sombrero was pushed hack from his
forehead, and his hands were incased
in gloves
For a moment there was not sound
around the little blaze The marquis
horse shook it's head and began snuffing
and nosing about IN the shrubbery at its
feet One of the long pistols in tte
marqufs's hands pointed at the breast of
the leader of the gang; the other, as
''Gunny Sack Bill could see, persistent
ly followed his head, no matter how he
turned It,
Presently the leader of the gang threw
his revolver Gown with an oath which
made the marquis horse start, jerked his
hat off, and advanced toward the French
man, holding out his hand.

They may differ slightly from enc anoth-

therefore they judge circumstances in

case. They judged tke sLop-sweep:n cir

justed their opinions with every change
until now they judge the millionaire cir

up our forms of English expression upon
the English of a few shires Of the old
country as it was spoken between two
and three centuries ago, while they have
been blending and changing the gpeech
Of all their home peoples during the

gus is canned, he is at q loss again. be-
cause he would have said 1t was timed.
To ask him to pass the powdered sugar

While the senator has been dwelling
with 1mpassioned eloquence upon the al
leged wrongs of the poor Filipinos,"
describing them as victims of tyranny,
with their congenitai equality ignored and
trampled upon, he wants to be dis
tlnctly Understood as excluding the
black man from the operation of the
JefIersonian' principle of equality 'All
men are not created equal, says this
exponent of Jeffersonian principles. The
Drown MaIayan is equal by birth but
the black African is not created equal"
says this Jeffersonian. The white man
must rule, he says. and so get out your
gun, Johnnie!i Minneapolis Journal.
Mr.. Tillman may be inconsistent, but
how about the Journal and its adminis
tration friends? Have they any room to
object to the disfranchisement of the
negro, or to the inconsistency of Sena-
tor Tillman? While the South has been
taking measures to eliminate the negro
from its local politics, the whole Repub-
mean party has been engaged in doing
the same thing to whole peoples by the
assistance of the army and navy. But
the Journal would never see a little thing
like that.
