When Grant
Was Clubbed

In his autobiography, Jacob A.
Rils tells the following anecdote oi
General Grants clubbing by New
York policeman just after his second
term in the presidency:
"IIs WAS staying at the Fifth Av
enue Hotel, when one morning the
Masonic Temple burned. The fire
line was drawn half way down the
block toward Fifth avenue, but the
police were much hampered by thu
crowd, and wero out Of patience
when 1, standing By, saw man il
great ulster with head buried deep
in the collar, olgar sticking straight
out, coming down the street from
the hotel. l recognized him a
sight as General Grant. The police
man who blocked his way did not
He grabbed him by the collar, swung
him about, and, hitting him q re
sounding whack ACROSS tho back witt
his club, yelled out: "What's the
matter with you2 Don't you see the
fre-line2 Chase yourself out Of
here and be quick about It." Ths
general said never . word. He did
not stop TO argue the matter. He had
run up against a sentinel and when
stopped went the other way. The
man had right to be there: he had
none.

add greatly to- the beauty of some

CIVIC PRIDE.
Cashier Baldwin Thinks the Town Needs
an Improvement Revival.

du xUUIUVSUlCul NSH1ydls
Walter Scott has written: Where
is the man with soul so dead, who
never to himself hath said, this is
my own, my native land. =
So the resident of any city who
cares nothing for the public inter-
est, who has no thoughts for the
beauty, the welfare and prosperity
Of the city in which he lives, is al
waysa dead load upon the enter
prising and progressive citizens in
their work of upbuild ding their town.
AS a rule he is amere carping critic
who never advances an idea, but
spends his whole time in deriding
and opposing those Of his neighbor.
Given this spirit, together with a
little money inherited and showed
and screwed out, and often times he
passes for man of large ideas and
sound .iud gment, while asa fact his
mind is really as vapid and vacant
as an empty half bushel. Every
community is cursed with just such
insects. Is there a plan on to aid
the city, or bring to it industries or
advantages, like an old crow he
perches on the nearest street corner
and croaks and crows and opposes.
Should the plan fail, his little petty
soul swells with delight, and he can
furnish plans and specifications of
its failure. He always works in the
breeching and never in the collar
His presence is a blight and his con-
versation distemper.
It is a relief to turn from such a
wart on the face of humanity to the
man who has within him true civic
pride, whether he is ID command or
In the ranks; whether he sits ia the
band wagon or is lifting at the.
spokes, he counts as an active, ag
gressive force in whatever is for the
best interests OF his city. You can
90 into the history of any city or.
town, and wherever you find a town
alive and growing, you will find,
back of all the Improvement and
prosperity, from one to one hundred
men who have pushed and pulled
their city ahead, content to do all.
and rest all on the progress of their
town. This is movement, as 1 I'M
derstand it, to start to beautify our
city. In my judgment the move
ment will succeed just in proper
ton as this town encourages and
supports those who are willing TO.
work for the town. It will fail. as
all such movements fail, if we are
discouraged by the mere carping
drones that are here as we'll as ev-1
erywhere.

say. we need d revival Of our public
spirit; we need a stimulus to our
