GRANT AND L0NGSTREET.
A West Point Friendship That Hsid
Throughout Their Lives.

The strong schoolbOy friendship
which began at West Point between
Grant and Longstreet lasted
throughout their lives. Grant was
of the class after Longstreet, but
somehow their silent, serious ma
lures were in spontaneous accord,
and, says Helen ID. Longstreet in
"Lee and Longstreet at High Tide"
they became fast friends from their
first meeting. That one was from
the west and one from the south
made no difference, just as later it
made no difference in their feeling
of personal affection that one led
the army of the Union and the 9th
er was a Confederate general.
General Longstreet often spoke of
the details of the capitulation at
Appomattox. He said that when he
went into the conference room in
the Mclean residence as one of the
Confederate commissioners he was
compelled to pass through the room
occupied by General Grant as his
headquarters.
He felt curious to know how Gen
eral Grant would receive him. He
had loved Grant as one of his clos
est boyhood friends, but times were
much changed. Grant was victor,
he was vanquished. He was there
fore prepared to observe the rigid
demeanor Of those between whom
ceremony only forces recognition
But as soon as he entered the room
Grant rose, approached him with a
greater show of demonstration than
ever in the older days and slapped
him on the shoulder, exclaiming:
"Well, old Pete, can't we get
back to the good old days by playing
a game of bragg"
At West Point the nickname
among the boys for General Long
street was "0ld Pete"
The important part of that meet
ing, the splendid bearing OF The
conquered Confederates, the moIe5t
demeanor of the Union victors end,
above all, the noble generosity OF
Gram in refusing to accept the
sword of Lee and in giving the fair
est terms possible under the existing
Circumstances, these are knoEn to
all who have read United Sta:as
history.

Niaht Shift Bee.

The old joke about the man who
crossed his bees with lightning bugs,
that they might see to work at
night, appears to have been realized
in India, where an unusually large
species gather honey only in the
nighttime.
There are many night blooming
flowers in that country, and this
bee apparently finds no difficulty in
gathering his store, for it is record
ed that the combs frequently reach
a height of six feet.
1t is not stated that the honey Is
Of food value, and its use for human
consumption is to be questioned,
since many of the night Towering
plants possess strongly narcotic
properties.

Hyperion Theater.

..By long odds the. sanest thing in the line of melodrama that has been presented this season in By Right of Sword which Ralph Stuart produced at the American theater, says the New York Daily News concerning the next attraction at the Hyperion theater to- night. MT. Stuart was long a stock star at the American and Murray Hill theaters, and a couple of seasons ago he essayed a tour of the Pacific coast, where he became a popular favorite, and incidentally produced this dmama- tization of "A. w. Marchmont's stirring Russion story By Right of Sword. < After two successful tours of the coast he brought the play to New York, where he made a complete new scenic production, engaged the best possible cast, and scored a romantic comedy triumph of the season at the Ameri- can. The complete production and original company will be seen with MT. Stuart at the Hyperion tonight.

cETTING RIcH QUICK.

An innocent farmer boy in Kansas learned from his uncle how to work a simple trick with cards It looked so much like a sure thing to his friends that by county fair time he had SIS in money and a cultivated appetite for short cuts to success. At the fair the usual fakir put the inevitable brass chain and glass-set ring in the cornu- copia, along with the time -honored prize box containing from 1 cent up to s20 The corner of the s20 bill often stuck right out of the box-ovel looked by the fatuous fakir
 And so presently the farmer boy boy had six lots of jewelry, worth per- hapss 30 cents, and six little paste board boxes, each containing one cent. He borrowed quarter to get some thing to eat and walked sadly home.
 But the fakir was glad. There had been other. bright farmer boys in the crowd and trade had been brisk. That evening he sorted and counted nearly s100 with a hot and eager heart, for he was. only 20 miles from Abilene, where there was fargo game, and he had worked out an infallible system for beating the tiger.
 The man who ran this faro game knew perfectly well that there was an infallible system, but 1t was different from the fakir's--in fact he was working the system himself. The sec ond day the fakirs borrowed a few dol lars to lay in a fresh supply of little pasteboard boxes and brass watch chains and went back to work, pen dering on the defects in his fargo sys- tenn .S
 The faro man, however. was gay.
 There had been others besides the the fakir at play. His bank roll was swollen until his pocket bulged out. He knew the proprietor of 8 flourish ing bucket shop in Kansas City, and
 could prove his plan as the nose on
 your face that 1t was the chance of a lifetime to, make a killing of wheat, He shipped the roll to a friend in Kan
 sas City, and saw it no more for wheat went down instead of up. He sighed, oiled up the secret spring of his fare box and returned to his humdrum trade.
 Now, the simple farmer boy knew perfectly well that his friends were going to lose money when theuy bet on his trick. It amused him to see how foolish they were. And the fakir was acutely aware that the simple farmer boy was going to get nothing but pennies; the boy must be a chuckle-head to suppose he was run ming the game of lose money! Next, | 1t was clear to the faro man that thf fakir was going to be cleared out; he had thoughtfully fixed the game to that end. And the bucket shop pro- prietor had not the remotest doubt ! that the faro mans roll would re main in his possession; certainly he wasn't running a bucket shop for his health.
 And ss.lkiisise SC knowing alI all about things Isbeing an adept at the game and hay Ting the best of information he bought lAmalganated Copper at 110 to beai i the band. In due time his bucket shop was closed, his horses were sold and 1t dawned upon him that even he stead of being the king pin, was 3

BENEFAcToRs oF MANKINI1.

Dynamite and srnokeless powder made a fortune for Noble, the Swed- ish inventor. To balance the destruction by high explosives for which he felt in- directly responsible he bequeathed the profits from their manufacture to charities and to establish fund to re- ward annually the victors in the arts of peace and humanity. Side by side with the devastation which his inven-s tions cause, his legacy will continue its counterbalancing work of making. the world wiser, happier, healthier more ideaiistie and more peaceful.
 Born in Stockholm in 1853, Alfred Bernard Nobel went to St. Petersburg as boy and learned mechanical en- gineering. From 1850 to 1854 he worked in the United States under John Eric sson. the inventor of the Monitor. Re- turning to Sweden he studied the sci eilce of high explosives, and in 1863 took out his first patent for dangerous but powerful mixture ofssnitro- -glycer- inc and gunpowder. After four years of study he invented dynamite, a conn-s bination of 75 per cent nitro-glycerine with 25 per cent of fossil shells, called. kieselguhr. This was followed by the invention in 1866 of explosive gelatine and by further inventions of ballastite and smokeless powder.
 The Idea of leaving his fortune to promote the cause of peace came from q poem written by q woman and de- dicated to him. It's title was Lay Down Your Arms The sentiments appealed to him, and he spent the last years of his life in deyising a plan by which he could best carry them into effect.
 His estate. after deducting the mis- cellaneous charitable bequests and the inheritance taxes, was $S, ,40O,0 ,0O0 He directed that it should be kept in d permanent trust to be administered by the academies of Sweden and the storthing of Norway. The income was to be divided into five equal parts, one part each to be given annually for the most important invention or discovery in physics in chemistry, in physiology or medicine, for the most remarkable literary work of an idealistic nature and for the best work done in the inter- ests of peace
