WIDOWS or TWO FAMOUS MEN
Mrs. General Grant and Mrs. Jeffer-
son Davis Close Friends.

son Davis Close Friends.
An impressive and somewhat pa
therc friendship IS that which has
grown up between the widows of Gen.
Grant and Jefferson Davis, the two
men who occupied so much attention
during a momentous period of Ameri-
can history. For time in the sum-
mer just ended they both stayed in a
little Canadian village called Coburg.
They had unpretentious cottages on
adjoining lots and saw each other
every day Coburg is a group of cot
tages in Ontario, not far from Nj
sgara-on-the-Lake and naturally
enough the Grant and Davis habita-
tions, standing side by side in a frsS-
rant pine lane, formed one of the in
teresting sights OF the village. The
cottages, which are both Of effective
ly painted shingles, are almost smoth-
cred in a forest Of pine trees. They
back upon a small, quiet lake and
every morning Mrs. Grant and Mrs.
Davis sat in steamer chairs. watch
ingfthe reflection Of the trees and the
undisturbed surface, seldom rufiled
even by strange canoe. 1t can be
only surmised whether these two in
teresting women ever mentioned the
great conflict in which their husbands
fought so yaliantly. and whether their
own struggles and heartaches have
been ever rehearsed. Mrs. Davis and
Mrs. Grant hold themselves aloof
from the other cottagers and seem
perfectly content to pass the idle sum-
mer days under the pines.
