YOUNG GRANTS COLT.
The story of Purchase That
Earned the Boy Much Teasing.

Earned the Boy Much Teasing.
When Ulysses S. Grant was small
boy living in Georgetown, O., he want
ed, like most boys, to own a horse
and one particular colt belonging to
man named Ralston he wished espe
cially to have. To indulge the boys
taste and buy the colt his father or
fered Mr.. Ralston $40, hut the owner
valued the colt at $25 and refused the
offer. taking the animal home with
him.
AS the hours passed after the little
horse had trotted away with its owner
Ulysses disappointment and eagerness
for possession increased, and he final
ly begged his father to pay the $50 de-
manded. His father said that $50 was
all the animal was worth, but since
Ulysses desired it SO much he might
go to Mr.. RalstOn and offer $50 again.
If. his father added, he could not buy
1t for $40, he might offer $22.50, and it
the owner would not let it go for So -5O
he might, in order to obtain it, give so
ULYSSES therefore mounted q horse
and set out for Mr. RalstOn's. He was
at that time probably about eight years
old
When he found the owner, he told
him, Papa says l may offer you $f
for the colt, but if you won't take that
to offer you $3.50 and if you won't
take that to give you $50"
The eagerness of the boy to gain the
horse could not brook any barrier. II
is needless to say that he paid $50 ant
led the animal home.
Grant said, in writing his memoirs
that the story of this purchase OF hls
got out in the village and it was ions
before he heard the last of it. The
gchoolboys delighted in teasing hin
about it; schoolboys are very Otter
| little barbarians for tOrmenting oD'
another and they did not let Ulysse
forget this one instance when he wa
! behind the rest in cleverness.
He kept the horse for several year
and finally sold it for $50, the poo
animal having become blind. Late
| he found it taken from the road an'
working the tread wheel of ferryboa
which piled between the Ohio an
Kentucky banks of the Ohio river.

Washing In the Orient.

The japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing, and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on q
fiat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes, and some
of them have quite luster. The Jap
anese woman does her washing out OF
doors. Her washtub is not more thar
six inches high"
The hardest worked washerwomer
in the world are the Koreans. They
have to wash about dozen dresses
for their husbands, and they have plen
ty to do. The washing is usually done
in cold water and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounded witt
paddles until they shine like shir

A TeIephone Whistle.

When the earpiece Of telephone re-
ceiver is held to the mouthpiece of the
transmitter, a more or less shrill tone
or whistle is heard in the receiver. inns
occurs when the apparatus is in good
working condition and when the trans
mltteS is on short circuit. This effect
is seemingly due to a series of reactions
analogous to but much more complex
than those which occur in an electric
bell when it's circuit is closed. A move
ment of the diaphragm of the receiver
toward it's magnet tends to weaken the
pressure on the carbon of the transmit
ter. which causes a weakening of the
current, allowing the diaphragm to fall
away, with the further result that the
air column is compressed, increasing
the pressure on the carbon again and
also increasing current strength, where
by the diaphragm in again attracted,
and this action is repeated over and
over again-Cassiers Magazine.

At the Omaha Yards.

South Omaha, Neb., Dec. 10.-Owing
to the large amount of business before
the annual meeting of the Union Stock
yards Company Monday, the matter of
arranging for an annual livestock show
at Omaha or South Omaha was not dis
cussed, further than a brief talk over
the report made by the committee sent
to the Chicago livestock show. This
committee reported very fayorably and
stated that assurances We're received by
shippers from all over the west who
were at Chicago that the show, if given,
will be well patronized.

of the company and the business of the
past year was commented upon as be-
ing most satisfactory.
The report on stocks of provisions
Indicate high prices for the coming
year. The supply is about 10,500,0o0
pounds short Of the supply of this sea-

and unfavorabie reports from the range

and sheep will profit largely next sea-
son. f. Il. circuit, of San Francisco, one
of the heaviest sheep buyers of the
west says that the loss of sheep in Wy
oming and Utah this winter Will be I'M

The Horse Market.

Chicago. Dec. 10.-Trade at the Dex-
ter Park horse market opened yester-
day with conditions much the same as
at the opening of the week All classes
of desirable qualities are moving free
ly. There is a brisk trade on loggers
and heavy horses for the northern
trade. Urgent inquiries from the east
for choice drafters and expressers
make these classes strong sellers. The
proximity of the holiday season causes
q good demand for truckers. and all Of
ferings find a ready sale. While there
We're very few strictly prime drafters
on sale, medium to good grades We're In
liberal supply and sold at range OF
$135@225. Choice drivers and coach
ers are scarce. with prices stationary.
Some fancy offerings are selling around

During the First Hour Strength
in Wheat, Firm Cables and Smaller
Receipts influence the Corn Trade
Cattle and Hogs steady-sheep Lower

Chicago, Dec. 10.-There was active
trading in wheat today in the pit, the
Pit being filed with traders, majority
of whom We're on the buying side. Sen
! TRES on May We're "a to y of a cent
higher. while December was unchanged
TO Il of a cent higher, later selling up to
a. May was in urgent demand for a
time and started at 775s. but considera-
BILE liquidation occurred at the advance
end there was reaction to 7B@T7A.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
eeipts of $50 cars, which, with local re-
ceipts of $50 cars. none of contract
grade. made total for the three points
OF 693 cars, against 667 last week and
sos year ago.
The strength in wheat influenced the
corn market, as did firm cables, smaller
receipts and unsettled Weather. There
was a good cash demand at the open :
ing, with but light offerings and a
strong market prevailed, May being Il
to IS of a cent higher at the start and
held firm around the opening figures.
Shorts were active buyers of December
and that option was UP from Is to Is
of cent at the opening. Local re-
ceipts We're ninety-nine cars, with one
of contract.
Oats opened strong. but trading was
only fair, commission houses being
both buyers and sellers. Wheat offer
ings were limited. Small receipts and
good demand for the cash article were
also bull factors. May opened ,ln-
changed to Is of a cent higher, and fl,lc-
tuations We're unimportant. Local re-
ceipts were eighty cars.
The firm hog market. in spite of
heavy receipts, was a factor in the
steady opening of provisions and altho
there was considerable realizing by
outsiders, offerings We're well taken and
there was but slight reaction. The
strong tone in the grain pits was a help
in maintaining prices. January pork
opened unchanged and January lard
was 211s cents higher, while ribs were
unchanged.

Grinnell. Dec. 1O.--Mr Will Hedrick
has resigned his position as night clerk
at the New Monroe Hotel and left this
morning for Salt Lake City, Utah. He
is going to Salt Lake City to take
charge of the day clerkship at the Nut
ford Hotel of that place, where he will
have a good position and where his
folks are now living. Before coming
Eere Mr.. Hedrick was day clerk at the
Continental Hotel in Centerville, Iowa.
A short time ago a travelling man
went into the passenger depot and left
two grips in the care of the restaurant
keeper in the depot. Then he went out
and took the train for State Center.
Upon his return land upon going after
his grips, he was informed that they
had been seized by the city marshal.
The traveller did some ferreting and
discovered how the marshal came to re-
eeive his orders to seize the grips.
When he left the grips in the depot a
rival liquor man. saw him do so, and
thinking that the newcomer would in
fringe upon his territory here the rival
informed the marshal that these grips
had liqour in them. which was to be
sold in this neighborhood, whereupon
they were seized. The grips We're
given back to their owner upon exami-
nation, and they were found to have
been untouched here. and 1t was also
discovered that the informant had
whole trunk full of liquor In the hotel,
which ,he really meant to sell here. The
grips We're left there just as any two
grips would be. and no one supposed to
know what was in them for they were
to be taken to other fields, nor did any
one else know about the contents OF
them but the rival who thought 1t
would be a neat way to dispose of other
goods in his territory.
Mr.. NJ e. Black has sold out his IN
terest in tfles real estate firm OF Bu-
chanan & Black to his partner. Mr. Il.
II. Buchanan, and will go west In Few
DAYS on account of his wife's i'll health.
This has been strong firm, and Mr..
Black will be greatly missed here.
A new chapel is being planned by
the college people, where the
young folks can go and worship. AS
1t has been in the past the services
were held in the same room as the stu
dents recite in every day, and this
takes the interest out of the services
that would otherwise be taken. In the
new chapel there will be several rooms,
the chapel proper, a room where the
meet together for the pur-
pose of study, a reception room, and
room for entertainments, etc. This
will greatly encourage the religious
work in the college, and it will also
serve as a place for the young peo-
pie to get acquainted.
The court has tried to demonstrate
that there must be less gambling in
the city in the future, by leyying soma
heavy fines against those who were
caught recently in the armory and il.

The number drawing for the next
number on the Y. M. C. A. course is

the issue to the People,

Concord, N. h. Dec. 1o.-Convinced
by the eloquence of Mrs. Carrie Chap

and Miss Alice Chase, the New Hamp-

practically decided to submit the ques-
ton of woman suffrage to the people
with the approval of the convention.
Prior to the hearing given these three
women this afternoon the legislators
constituting the convention had
regarded the suffrage proposition as 4
joke. Yet so effective was the oratory
poured forth by the trio that about
two-thirds of those who heard it were
converted to the suffrage cause.
