HOW GRANT GAVE ORDERS.
Promptness in Decision Characteristic

Promptness in Decision Characteristic
of the Man.
Grant was a, great smoker even
a Missouri neighbor Of Grants farm
ing days, but he wasn't a good talker.
When it came to action. though, he
never was at loss. Mr. Dent, his
father-in-laW owned a fine specimen
of Durham bull. The big animal was
as powerful and as vicious as any
have ever seen. He broke through
every fence that was put about him,
and the farmers for miles around suf-
fercd ruined orchards and devastated
garden patches. The animal would go
among the trees, and, dashing from
right to left, would scatter the fruit
on the ground for yards about. One
fellow had been especially annoying.
we sent over to the Dent place for
aid. Grant rode back with our mes
senger. The bull was racing about
the fields, terrorizing the neighbor-
hood. Grant asked two or three ques-
tions as to losses, then he told some
one to get spoke.
Now he said, as If he We're di-
recting simple task, catch the bull
and tie this in his mouth, bit fashion.
If anyone else had made the sug
gestion he would have been laughed
at but Grants direction was taken as
a command. He took no part in the
proceedings, but turned his horse
out, caught the animal, gagged him,
and turned him loose again After
few days of starving he was complete
ly broken of his Dad habit"

Inc department. of education has
oeen made the object of much upkind-
~ criticism. owing to the position TAX
ea py the present superintendent in
'ae matter OF state licenses. On
entering upon the duties of the office
lAe announcement was made by him
tAat he would under no circumstances
grant a license without an examina-
ION such as the law requires, nor
could he allow any one not connected
with the department to conduct an ex-
animation for him. 1t is the custom in
many states to recognize d.
plomas granted by creditable institu-
uons OF by state superintendent of
other states. There is, however, no
Clause OF our school law that provides
Tor the granting of license except
on an approved examination. Hence
The following persons have re-
ceived licenses on examinations in the
past four years: Miss Mamma Adams,
Splingdale; Miss Estelle Galloway,

The theory recently advanced that
the ROCK bass is the result of a cross
between the black bass and the sun
fish seems to be disproved by the rock
bass that abound in Lake Keuka in
western New York.
Wnen the first white people settled
on the shores of that lake more than
century ago they found the rock
bass abundant in its waters. The
black bass is an alien resident of the
lake having been placed there within
recent years.
The roch lass is one Of the gamest

head and capacious mouth is one of
the most ferocious-looking. While in
Lake Keuka. where it seldom attains
a greater weight than half pound, it
is regarded as a pest by black bass
fishermen, because of it's persistence
in stealing bait. It's excellent quali-
ties as a food fish commend it to the

Angry at Postponement Of the Prom

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
London yesterday says: Any one who has
mingled much with the crowds in the
streets since the announcement of the coro-
nations postponement must have been
struck by the apparent forgetfulness Of the
kings condition in the desire Of the people
to enjoy the holiday and see the decora-
lions.
1t may be too severe structure to call it
Indifference; yet such a tendency certainly
is evident among the masses. That many
unreasonaby felt aggrieved is shown by
the fact that disturbances have occurred in
different parts OF Great Britain in conse-
quence of 'postponement Of local coro-
nation festivities. ~
A crowd gathered in the streets Of Water
ford tonight and windows In the house of
the chairman of the council were smashed,
together with those of other members Of
the town coronation committee. Mounted
police charged the crowd.
Considerable rioting was INDUCED In at

and the crowd afterward proceeded to the
residence of the mayor and rector, where,
amid much hootingl windows We're smashed.

where the great coronation bonfire was
lighted contrary to orders
Rioting also occurred at Hampstead,
owing to the decision Of the coronation COM
mittee to sell the beef and provisions OBJ
tanned for the coronation dinner for the
poor. The disappointed poor collected in
crowds and smashed the windows of men,
bers of the committee.
At Newton, Interchangeable, the COM
mittee decided to postpone all festivities In
definitely. Several residents, being of the
opinion that children should not be disap-
pointed of their promised tea. requested the
chairman of the district council to convene
a public meeting to consider this. He re-
fused When the chairman emerged from
the committee meeting he was hooted by

eminent that the American and British
