FRED GRANT AND HIS BOOTS.
Why the General Put Them Under
His Pillow at Bedtime.

Why the General Put Them Under
His Pillow at Bedtime.
General Fred Grant always sleeps
with his boots under his head when
he is travelling on a train and quite
frequently when he puts up for the
night in a strange place
The story of how he formed this
habit came out one night several years
ago when a fellow traveller beheld the
general occupied in carefully tucking
his foot covering underneath the pill
lows of his sleeping car berth.
81 guess I'll never break the habit"
said the general in his slow, easy-go-
ing way, mo matter how much I'm
laughed at, as you're doing now. But
once it was no laughing matter to me,
! can tell you.
while the Civil War was being
fought : was a cadet in West Point
One summer when vacation time was
close at hand my father promised me
that l could spend it in the field with
him, and as soon as l was permitted
to leave the academy on furlough
took the train south to join him.
Il was in high spirits until 1 awoke
from a fine nights slumber and start
ed to put on my boots. To my horror
they were not where l had placed
them. and though 1 searched for them
high and low they could not be found.
Some rascal had walked off with them
in the night and he had also helped
himself to my hat, as 1 discovered
later on.
Il was in a nice dilemma and mat
ters were helped only slightly by the
porter scurrying around and finally
raking up a pair of dilapidated rub
bers and an old hat that looked as if it
had been through a seasons cam
paigning. But l had to make the best
of the situation and when I stepped
forth into the cold world at Washing
ton l must have presented an anus
ing spectacle as regards head and
feet.
Il didn't have enough money with
me to buy new boots and hat; neither
was 1 armed with any letters which
would give the shopkeepers confidence
in me. There was only one thing to
do, and / did it. L tramped around
Washington looking up my fathers
friends, and when 1 found one 1 pour
ed my troubles into his ears and he
graciously advanced me the price of
the articles Of clothing 1 needed most.
And you can rest assured that when
I took my boots off that night I slept
upon them, and I've been doing SO
ever since. st. Paul Globe

OUR RELIGIOUS BODIES.
Only 3o,ooo,ooo Are Members OF
Churches.


Churches.
DR.. Walter Laidlaw. long a distin-
guished authority upon church Stats
tics. has published an elaborate estf-
mate OF the present strength of relig-
lous bodies In the United States. which
Is interesting because it brings down
nearly to date work which the census
bureau attempted in vague and ten
tative way four years ago.
In rough division of the people of
the United States according to their
religious views and connections, DR..
Landlaw classes about 100000 out
of 100000 as church members. OF
these 100000 the Roman Catholics
number more than one-third. 1t is
calculated that since 1890 the Catholics
in the United States have increased
about 90 per cent, or over 4,0O0, 900.
Considerable of this increase was due
to immigration. In the same fourteen
years the growth of the population
cannot have been more than 80 or, at
the most, 35 per cent
The Roman Catholics constitute
about 10 per cent of the entire popula-
ton of the United States. In some
great cities and States they are far
stronger than that proportion would
indicate. Nearly or quite one-third of
the population of New York City are
Catholics and the percentage is almost
as great in Cleveland. 1t must be still
higher in Boston, where the French
Canadian element is large and fast in
creasing.
According to DR.. Laidlaw the Prot
estant Church members have increased
30 per cent since 1890, thus gaining at
least as fast as the gross population
of the United States OF the larger
general divisions of the Protestants,
the Methodist churches, of all kinds,
are credited with nearly 100000 COM
municants. The Baptists number over
4,725, 900 and the Lutherans about
2.265, 600 There are some 2,O5O,OOO
Presbyterians, including among them
the Dutch Reformed and Reformed
churches, because of their close SINH
larity in organization and beliefs. DR..
Eaidlaw credits the Protestant Epis-
copal Church with 7S2.543 members
and the Congregationalists are esti-
mated at 659,7O4.
The Jews are estimated at more
than 100000. New York City is their
greatest stronghold. The Mormons
are counted as less than $4,000 and
the Christian Scientists seem much
underestimated at 10000. There are
believed to be 5000 members Of vari-
Gus communistic societies. The Unita-
rians and Universalists are estimated
at about $4,000.
