THE LITTLE MAN"

Was Grant.

A story was told, says T. +. Galway,
year or two ago in the south by a
Memphis gentleman, which, as 1t il
ustrates Gen Grants simplicity OF
manner, is perhaps worth presery-
ing The gentleman's mother, a mid
dle-aged lady, during the war was liv-
ing near Memphis when Gen Grant
was in command there, and she de-
sired to go out beyond the lines and
return in order to visit an invalid
married daughter. She applied at
Gen. Grants headquarters and WIS
referred to staff officer, who, after
having heard her case, declined with
rather a grand manner and to her
expostulations merely answered, curt
ly: "Impossible!' The lady was
downhearted under the circumstances,
as may be imagined, and probably her
countenance betrayed her feelings as
she was going out across the piazza
of the house that served as head
quarters for plain-looking little man,
apparently a hanger-on about the head
quarters, as she described him. wear

A moment after he came out and
handed her pass, saying: Take this.

She thought it very kind, indeed, OF
this person to be at so much trouble
for her, and she thanked him cordially.
1t was not until she had reached home,
had opened the pass, which was
signed ~. S. Grant" and shown 1t
to her family and described the "lit-

California proposes settlement Of
the inbrogllo with Japan over the san

ing grounds:
The federal government to enact n
new treaty with japan, excluding Jap
anese coolle labor from the United
States and Hawaii and American labor
from Japan.
Japanese contract labor importations
to cease.
Equality in public schools with sep
arate schools for adult Japanese de-
string primary and grammar school

preme court on the states right TO pass
-miscegenation and school laws.
The federal government TO decide the
right of franchise for the Japanese,
California suggesting only federal cog
nizance of Japanese class distinctions
In passing the law.
Keep the question out OF the hands OF
Congress.
California, although stu frothing
over President Roossvelts message to
Congress, has begun to quiet down and
study the possible motives behind the
utterances of the chief executive.
That the president really meant what
he said, IL considered absurd and while
part of the people still bitterly declare
he was misled, others declare that the
message Is part OF Il big diplomatic
game and that the president slapped
California merely to gain diplomatic
advantage by eoncillating Japan.
Public men here, probably advised
from washington, are firm in the con-
victlon that President Roosevelt and
the japanese ambassador are framing
new treaty which shall exclude the
Japanese coolie class from the United
States and American labor from Japan.
