were noted for. It's surroundings were
beautiful. Miss Julia's father, Colonel r.
Dent. did not at nrst take kindly to the
young onicer. who seemed to him quite
commonplace. While the fathers dislike
increased as II became evident that Julia
was not averse to Ulysses attentions, Mrs.
Dent was cordiality itself. She showed her
liking for the rather ~reticent young man
In a motherly way and seemed to read his
true character.
Whitehaven, which was ten miles OF
more st. Louis, was the scene Of numerous
gatherings Of young people, the families
near by, among them the S~appingtons and
Longs, participating, with officers from the
barracks. Hops at the barracks took the
young people there, and between the two
places Ulysses and Julia had many oppor-
~tunities of meeting and forming the friend
ship that later developed into love and re-
suited in a happy marriage. But this is
anticipating. Lieutenant Grant had Sc

his way to visit his parents in Ohio when

Grant decided to bring the courtship to an
end and declare his intentions. On his
return to st. Louis the young of1cer imme-
diately went to Whitehaven. where he
found the Dent family on their way to a
country Wedding, to which Lieutenant
Grant accompanied them. He rode In a
buggy with Julia Dent, and 1t was while
crossing the swollen Gravois river over a
rickety bridge that he had an opportunity
to put the vital question. The young lady

For a Wet Holiday

Originality in the choice and making OF
drinks is very rare. There are few habits.
II any, in which people are so conventional.
The invention, or rather the discovery, OF a
new and successful drink is an event. The
number of new drinks which appear in the
course OF a year and live may be counted
on the fingers.
Some persons will say that drinking is a
lost art; in other words, that men nowadays
drink carelessly, without proper regard for
the artistic and the consistent in choosing
| drinks appropriate to the hour and coca
sion. To be an artistic drinker requires
both a wide knowledge OF the history OF
beverages and a cultivated taste. together
with wide experience. Drinking is, there
fore, likely to be merely the qualification
OF an appetite impossible of any d~elicacy OF
expression and with the danger that IL be
vulgarized by excess.
1t is evidently a task requiring consider
able experience TO plan original drinks.
There are many complex conditions to sat
isfy. The day is probably taken up with
three regular meals, breakfast, luncheon
and dinner. The problem. therefore, is how
may drinks be so selected and proportioned
that the appetite may be excited in turn
for each OF these meals and the senses all
satisfied without at the same time in any
way impstring the appetite for the dinner
at the end.
There is the danger that the drinks may
prove too robust and seriously impair the
appetite for some one OF these meals, thus
endangering the real business OF the day,
which is to thoroughly enjoy the dinner
which crowns II. The fashionable holiday
dinner nowadays is not served before I
o'clock in the evening. or even later. II is
therefore necessary TO make the entire
round OF the clock with the bartender with
out a break. The whole problem is, OF
course. not to be either too late or ahead
OF time with ones appetite at any hour OF
the day.
According TO the very inviting program
arranged by a drink inventor the day should
be commenced with a connection which he
designates as a "salutatory." II is a short
drink, served in a small wineglass. This
first drink is not advised strongly, but only
II the occasion seems to demand IL. The
"sslutatory" may be prepared in several
ways. although the general spirit and in
tention OF all the several recipes sug-
gested are the same. II may consist. for
instance. OF vermouth with three dashss Oi

A Good Thing

German Syrupi is the special prescrip-
ton of DR. A l'oschee, q celebrated Ger
man physician. and is acknowledged
to tie one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper-
mental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world. Three d0ses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price rs cents.

and spent couple delightful hours after the

of the earth began to darken fair Lunas face
all repaired to the lawn and watched the slowly
creeping darkness until the orb of night was
shorn of her glory and hung like dying ember
in the sky. Refreshments we're served in the

to Mn Craft for her courtesy and much gen
