TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
Ulysses 5, Grant.
BY j. n. EDGE RIO ".

Vp to the time Of the civil war
Ulysses S. Grant was practical
ly unknown. Then fame came
upon him suddenly and over
whelmingly. 1t was as though all of
the earlier part of his life had been
waiting time, a preparation. Once in
the glare. he was there to stay. No
more escape for him. He must play
his part herceforth with the eyes of
the world upon him. 1t is questionable
If Grant enjoyed this publicity, but.
whatever his personal feelings. he had
the doGged determination to go through
with whatever was thrown In his way
The remark Of his wife that, "NIr
Grant is an obstinate man. showed
prominant quality that made for the
generals success. This trait was
shown even in his boyhood. The story
Is often told OF his feat OF loading logs
unaided and alone. Usually several
men did this work, and the duty of the
slender lad was to haul the logs TO
the sawmill One day he found the
men absent Instead Of going home as
most boys would have done, he deter
mined to do the loading himself, so in
vented a contrivance which by the aid
Of one of the horses enabled him to
perform the task. This act made hin
famous in the neighborhood.
Bulldog tenaclty, sheer hanging on
whatever befell, persistence that never
let gO-this seemed TO be the FREEDOM
inant characteristic Of Grant He did
not know how TO quit Once started
on task he seemed TO have phys
ica inability of stopping until the
thing was accomplished. If he could
not smash his antagonist, he would
wear him out He never planned for
retreat Perhaps he did not know how
to retreat. His plan seemed to be to
hit first and keep hitting. to drive on
and on til he won, TO fight and still
fight until either his antagonist or him
self was incapacitated for farther con
hict. Il propose to fight 1t out on this
line If Il takes all summer" he wired
to Washington, and the succeeding
campaign showed that he meant all
and n little more than he said.

That made the life-savers mad and

caught a roller and surfed past them

he had to come out sometime and
when he did the whole beach police

didn't surf at Atlantic City any more.

Just to show the effete Fasteners
what the real thing is and to stir the
frazzled nerves of the beach bummers
of Atlantic City, George Freeth is
his arms, packing his telescope and
running over there for the summer
George has had this idea simmering In
his head for some little time, but the
bubbling stopped short couple OF
weeks ago when the cables reported
that there had been a snow storm In
New York on June 2. That sounded
more like a toboggan slide to him, but
the sun peeped forth again and the
smile came back when on Wednesday
last came the news of sunstrokes and
heat prostrations. Here was something
more in his line.
Freeth has the privilege of being able
to boast that he is the only man living
who has ever surfed on the Atlantic
coast He was arrested for doing It,
but generally on1its to dwell upon that
phase of the story. 1t all came about
in this way. George decided that Ha-
wall did not offer the advantages that
his youthful ambition demanded and
decided that it should be the wide,
wide world for him. Without any
great mention in the newspapers and
forgetting in the excitement of getting
away to mention anything of his plans
to his relatives, he slipped over the
side of a steamer one night and bur-
rowed into the coal bunkers. The next
day, between spasms, he crawled up on
deck and presented his card to the Of
ficer of the deck. He was passed along
by the scruff of the neck to the captain,
who gave him a cordial welcome and
assigned him a berth next the dish
washer in the scullery.
BY the time the vessel had rounded
the Horn, George could peel spud
without breaking the pairing and by the
time the Breakwater was sighted he
had almost forgotten how to talk Ha-
waiian. He was given a discharge in
Philadelphia and rested in the Quaker
city for some time between jobs. Ours
ing one of these vacations he got as far
away as Atlantic City and here he
made his first bid for fame. He pad
died around among the knee-deepers
for some time and then went and put
on his clothes. That was too slow for
him. Going to a woodpile, when the
