to horses out in Chicago. A teamster
who admitted abandoning his horses
for six hours on a recent stormy day
was fined $50 by a magistrate. The
humane society prosecuted the case
vigorously and promised to report the

must follow hung about him until he
could think of nothing else. On

president to come to his headquar-

on Sunday. We rode out to the in.

He knew how to feed his men.
Some years ago a contractor build
ing a railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from a stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount Of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to
the men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water.
Almost instantly all signs Of stomach
disorders passed and his men showed
a decided improvement in strength
and spirits.

At the end OF Is miles we reached
Petersburg and were met by Capt.
Robert Lincoln of Gen. Grants staff,
who. with some other officers, escort
ed us to Gen. Grant. We found him
and the rest of his stan sitting on the
piazza of white frame house. Grant
did not look like ones idea of con-
quering hero. He didn't appear ex-
ultant, and he was as quiet as he had

Grant and Lincoln was cordial; the
president was almost affectionate.

The tobacco warehouses were on fire

In the midst of the rejoicing some
