TO PRESERVE GRANT OAK"
Historic Tree Of Mississippi Valley
Still Rugged.

SC1u Nugget.
From the st. Louis Republic.
One of Missourrs historic spots. q private
park at Ironton, eighty-eight miles south of
st. Louis. containing the giant oak tree
under which Ulysses 8. Grant stood when
he received his commission as brigadier
general, and the spring from which he slak-
ed his thirst during his encampment there,
was sold by circuit court auctoneer
ty court house.
The tract of eight acres. known locally
as Emerson Park was knocked down to
DR.. w. ]. Smith of Ironton for $1,000 1t
the interest OF an Ironton syndicate which
has acquired the place with the object OF
improving II and selling 1t to the United
States government, II possible, for nation
al park.
Emerson Park Is famous for its posses
sion OF the "Grant oak This tree Ia to
Missouri what washington elm" is to
Cambridge. Mass. or the Charter oak,
when 1t stood was to Hartford. Conn. Dur
ing the more than forty-four years that
have elapsed since Grant made his head
quarters at the spot the tree has been
visited by thousands OF St Louisans, many
of whom have sojourned In Arcadia, half
a mile to the south, for the summer rest
and recreation. and by many tourists from
far-away points.
The Grant oak is one OF the first objects
pointed out to the visitor In the Arcadia
valley. 1t stands almost in the center of
the valley and is rugged and towering
giant, apparently capable of withstanding
the storms of many more winters.
This tree it is said by old residents of
Ironton, was almost as large in war time
as at present About four feet from its
base is a splendid spring, one Of those
never-failing sources of pure water supply,
for which the Ozark country is noted. In
1861 this vicinity was practically an open
field, though there was large log house
not far away containing several rooms

he planted the stun and cared for the bud
ding flowers as tenderiy as II they were
American Beauty roses. I; IL hardly nee
essary to explain that after the first season
care was not needed: the dandelions were
quite capable of caring for themselves.
This story probably isn't true. but 1t fs
interesting just the same. for It supplies q
definite somebody on whom we of the pres
ent day can fix responsibility. and against
whom We can direct all maiedictions In
spired by the pestiferous dandeifon. 1t fs
sheer waste of time to swear at the
weeds. for they flourish just the same. and
though 1t may be equally futile to swear
at the map who brought them here. it Is
at least more satisfying, even though he
be mere fgment of the imagination 1t Is
pity that he can not be here now to be
overwhelmed by the consequences Of his
folly His neighbors certainly would re-
joice to see his lawn overspread by the
bright yellow blossoms he loved so well,
even though they would be compelled TO
furnish their own lawns to accommodate
the overflow.

one of the longest and most remarkable
voyages ever attempted by a gasoline motor
yacht, was trip of 6,256 miles Starting
from New Orleans. she sailed UP the Mis-

Down with the Dandelions.

the pioneer residents sent back to his old
home somewhere in the east, for pack-
age OF dandelion seed, and when It came

Within a minute or two an answering
signal flashed from her bridge. But before
another fiared out all the lights disappeared
as suddenly as a candle light Is blown out.
We stood there for a second, staring into
the blackness where Just before brightly
lighted ship had swung. Then I jumped to
the bridge telegraph, and tore for the
spot where we had seen her. But though
we cruised up and down all night, burning
blue lights and whistlng, we never found
even a stick. and when dawn came it
showed us a clear, lonely sea, with not
splinter ahoat.
The queerest thing about it is there was
never a report of q lost ship afterward.
No vessel we could trace was due in that
part of the sea at that time. Yet there
was this one. and that she went down like
q flash before our eyes with never sound
can be sworn to not only by myself, but
by my first officer. the quartermaster, the
lookout and the chief engineer. It Is one
OF the many mysteries OF the sea that the
tramp ships meet and the liners do not.
