Coronor's Inquest Not Necessary

for release on habeas corpus. Sley
killed John II. Mays III Latah coun-

There are almost as many teachers
in this school as pupils, and the home
life is particularly quiet and elegent.
All the little niceties of life, all the
luxurious appointments of wealthy
homes must be provided so that the
girls may take their place naturally In
their own homes when the clouds in
the domestic skies roll away. One rule
is carried out to the letter. Girls are
never permitted to see daily papers,
where mention of the family skeleton
may be made.
Pupils come from all over the United
States, and rang in years from IL to
H. Some of them have been in the
school for four and five years, some of
them do not stay more than one term.
Sometimes they have full under

their ignorance of conditions is pa

the bride" was a social function in
the early days, and she was the he
roine of an episode of the kind, but
cleverly eluded her captors on the
wedding day and turned the tables
on them.
Capt. Noah Grant III took part in
the famous Boston tea party, and he
was one of the first to march to Lex
ington. He was grandfather to Gen.
Grant, who was of the eighth genera
ton from Matthew the Settler, of
whom he said:
His nationality never interested
me. l am perfectly satisfied with be-
ing an American through and through,
with seven generations of honest
American ancestors"
II there was a strain of Scottish
blood in the Grant family. the char
acteristics of that nationality lived
again in the General who from boy
hood days was famous for persever-
ance and truthfulness, as the follow
ing stories well illustrate:
When a boy of but years old he
was anxious to own a colt belonging
to a neighbor and treated for it in
this fashion:
"Mr. -. my father says I may Of
fer you $40 for the colt, but If you
won't take that am to offer $3.50.
If you won't take that. may give
you S25." He got the colt, but he
paid the full price for It.
About this time he won a silver dol
lar by riding a circus mule which had
been trained to throw its rider. Sew
eral men and boys tried to ride the
animal but all were thrown. At length
a sturdy little fellow stepped into the
ring and said he would like TO try
that mule. He held on bravely until
almost round the circle, when ne was
thrown over the animals head as
the others had been.
Jumping to his feet, and throwing
off his coat and hat, ne exclaimed: Il
would like 20 try that mule again. -
This time he faced the crupper, coiled
his legs around the animals body and
seized hold OF the tail. The mule ex-
hausted all efforts TO unseat his rider
but In vain, and the lad earned his
dollar, as well as the cheers Of the
audience.
The name Ulysses was chosen for
him because his grandmother had an
enthusiastic admiration for the com

1t is a question whether the name
Grant is derived from the French word
grand" meaning great, valorous. If
so, the family is of French origin, and
probably came from Normandy Or
the family may be of Danish descent
from Aquin de Grand, or giant. Then
there is a Highland clan of Grants,
one of the best known of the Scottish
clans.
The earliest recollections of the fam
lily begin with Gregory de Grant, or
Ghraunt, who was sheriff in Inver-
ness in 1914 and the history of the
family is interviewer with the history
OF Scotland. If the family is not of
scottish origin, it early made settle

The first Of the name in America
was Matthew Grant, who came over
