Al the time the Senate Chamber was
newly decorated. a little more than
three years ago, the glass put into the
windows was dark-hued and gtve,
the chamber q dark and sombre ap-
pearance. During the session of the
Legislature. last winter. Senator Buck
of Orland. introduced an order looking
to n change that would result in pro-
ducing more natural light from the out
side. II was contended that the dark
glass hindered the sun from penetrat-
ing the chamber and that artificial lignt
was too often required In the day time.
Col. Stevens. acting upon this order
now proposes to change the color of TIL
glass. which is that known as cathedra
glass into lighter color. BY the time
the Senate again meets the change viii

When the young soldier Grant cane
back from the Mexican war he left
the army and took up the life of an
agriculturalist. He had made a good
start in the Mexican campaign. His
colonel told him that glory lay ahead
of him, and there was no one sorrier
than this commander when Grant def.

of his career.
Judge Andrew Shores OF Clayton. a

told a friend not long ago that he
was present at jefferson barracks on
the morning that Col. Cumming and
the young soldier took leave of each
other.

days" says Judge Shores. "He was a
strong young fellow with a close
cropped beard, "A quiet eye and a
quieter tongue. When | saw him talk

was about to leave the army for the

better prepared for all the great news
that came to me in the years that fol-
lowed. The property that Grant under
took to clear. and did clear. was thick
with underbrush and towering trees.
Grant got the brush out, took the trees
first from a high spot OF ground,
smoothed the logs, and asked his
%neighbors to a house-raising Two Of
the men who helped to raise that
house are living-Asa lesson and John

the props, delivered at the mines. So
Grant hitched up a roan horse and

had use of. and loading the timbecS
that he had himself cut. he drove
down to the mines. No one ever re-
