A Story of Grant.

General Fred Grants favorite story
of his father is one that very aptly
illustrates that great soldiers faculty
of sizing up a situation in a few
words.
1--WE had an old coachman," he says.
"who was not the brightest man in the
world, but what be did not know about
a horse was not worth knowing. Moth.
er used to call on him to do all sorts
of things that were not in his line, and
old John. of course, was always making
mistakes to annoy her. Once she sent
him to the bank to do some business,
and he did 1t wrong. She told father
about 1t and said:
~ guess you'll have to let John go.
He never does as he should anything
/ want him to do
"'Well, mother said my father. II
John could do everything you want
him to do. and do 1t right, he would NOT
have to be our coachman.' "-PhiladeI

A MEMORY OF THE PAST.
The Unalloyed Joy That Came With
the Little Red Scarf.


II was wondering the other day
what one thing had given me the most
pleasure In the world" said the village
deacon. 81 had to go back a long
ways-cfear back into the blessed San
ia Claus days-but l recalled 1t. 1t
was a scarf l found In my stocking
one bright Christmas morning. l got
a red one, and my brother got a blue
one. l was a mighty proud boy that
morning as l trudged downtown with
that red scarf around my neck. l
wore 1t every day until the birds be-
gan to sing in the %springtime and the
kids were hunting up their marbles.
l don't now remember who gave 1t to
me nor what became of it, but l do
know that the memory Of it still clings
like a benediction.
"Since the days of that little red
scarf l have had things of far more
intrinsic value. l have worn lodge
emblems of high degree; l have had a
gold watch and chain; l once had a
pair of shoes that cost SIS and a neck
tie that cost twice as much as the lit
tie red scarf. Nay, more, l once tackled
a plug hat. But among these things
do l recall none that gave me such
genuine and unalloyed pleasure, such
a swelled up feeling, as did that little
red scarf way back In the days when
the wolf sat out In the road and
howled. IT'S the little red scarf days
that stir the memory with 1T might
have been.'"-Osborn (Kan.) Farmer.

IGNORANCE A MENACE.

The lesson of the present strike of mine employees is the
danger of employing prepondeance of ignorant workers Of
any class nativity There is danger in employ
of any number of the intelligent class, for the
that of intelligence depends upon his judgment
and cannot be swayed by the clamor of the multitude In
almost every issue that arises the sentiment of those who
think and for themselves will be divided They cannot
be led like flock of sheep by bell weher exponent of
the gospel of the workngman But with ignorance there is
tendency to accept the say-so of selfconstuted
leader and follow his dections without the mental capacity
to determine each for himself the right wrong of the mat
