Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid.

Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid.
Some Of the greatest soldiers whose
names adorn history's pages entered
their FIRST battles with feeling Of fear
In their hearts.
Frederick the Great simply lost his
bead Mt the battle OF Molwitz. Had
be not been king It Is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise In the heat OF the car
mage he got an idea that the army un.
der his command was being over
whelmed. so he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. lie rode many miles before
he stopped in his Wild flight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding In an
old mill. awaiting, as he thought. cap.
tnre by the enemy. Then he discover
cd that the army he deserted had won
the battle.
As Frederick was a prince. every
body tried to forget the incident Just
as quickly as possible. And after that
when the king went to war he was
Just as brave as any other soldier.
General Grant In his memoirs tells
US that. despite the fact that he was
not new to the ways Of war, he had a
strange fear In his heart when as com
mander Of the Union forces he found
himself on the eve Of his first battle
Of the civil war. He adds, however,
that he came to find that "the other
fellow" had similar feeling.
In American history there Is no more
reckless warrior than the dashIng Light
Horse Harry Lee. II seems strange.
therefore, to find that at the outset Of
the Continental struggle Washington
had to reprove him for his prudence"
In battle. Lee. though. up and told
Washington that he was just as brave
as the general In chief, and he made
good his word Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
General Commerce Picking Up In
Spite Of Lateness Of Spring
Season.

Further progress was made In the
distribution of spring merchandise
this week, but the season is still very
backward, and much stock will be
carried over. Confidence is not gener-
ally shaken, although some evidences
of caution followed the violent rise
in prices of wheat and rumors of crop
disasters. Latest reports indicate
that warm weather in some States
and rain In other sections have given
the tardy grain and cotton better
start.
Leading manufacturing industries
have not curtailed operations, several
advances In wages have occurred and
there are numerous encouraging de-
velopments to Offset slow progress on
the farms including more prompt
mercantile collections at many cities.
Much new business is pending in
the iron and steel industry. A large
tonnage was placed last week, but
the furnaces and mills are sold so far
ahead that interest is greatest In old
orders. AS these are of noteworthy
size 1t Is evident that consumption Is
fully maintained. No setback can
be dlscerned in any department.
A conspicuous feature is the de-
mand for bars from makers of agri-
cultural implements. This business
Is larger than last years, indicating
that no anxiety regarding crops is
felt in this industry, although wholly
dependent upon the prosperity of the
farmer.
Business in steel rails includes
large quantities for Japan and Pan
anna and domestic contracts covering
deliveries during the first half Of next
year Some rails for traction com
panies are under negotiation, but this
tonnage depends upon furnaces. Steel
mills have extensive inquiries for Of
flee buildings, factories and railroad
bridges. Most of the pressure comes
from western cities.
There is no foreign business in cot
tons, as export inquiries from the
Red Sea are too far below the mar
ket.
