History tells fully of the manner in
which President Lincoln and father met
for the first time. when father went TO
Washington to be commissioned by the
President the commanding general of the
Union Army" said General Fred ID.
Grant to me recently, but 1t doesFt tell
of the initial purpose that father had in
mind as regards the Army of the Poto-
mac when he went East.
"You know, father was never East from
the time he entered the Union Army as a
colonel OF an Illinois regiment until after
the Chickamauga and Chattanooga cam
paigns IN the fall OF 1863 But he had
studied pretty closely the movements and
characteristics Of the Army Of the Po-
tomac In its three great campaigns up
TO that time. and he had pretty well made
up his mind even before he knew thar
he was to command the Union armies, as
/ to what was the matter with the army
that protected washington.
after It had become known that father
was to be lieutenant-general, and that he
would take personal command of the
Army of the Potomac, a great many per-
sons with whom he was acquainted, and
some with whom he was intimate, said to
him at one time or another before he
started East. General Grant, what are
you going to do with the Army Of the
/ Potamac? What kind of a campaign
against General Lee are you going to
make? Have you formed any plans what
ever for offensive operatonsy
"Of course, none of these questions
!. father would answer But I have always
thought that he at last became convinc-
ed that It would be a good plan % tell
some OF his friends I'm a general way
what he would do Immediately after he
had assumed command Of the Army Of
the Potomac. So It happened one day
that when a fNend said 20 him; General
Grant. what are you going to do after you
begin operations I'm the Eastg he replied;
The first thing / shall try to do will be
TO teach the Army OF the Potomac not
to be frightened out OF its wits at every
mention OF Bobby Lees men
! Again. when another friend would X
father a similar question, he would re-
ply: 4 am going to train the Army OF
the Potomac so that It will conquer its
fear OF Bobby Lee And yet again when
some one else had put The same question
10 him. his answer would be: The first
enemy that we have to conquer is the fear

HELD MEETING IN GRAVEYARD
Young suffragette Proved Her Right
to Leadership and Her Fidelity
4 to the Cause.

In graveyard Miss Inez Milholland,
Vassar graduate, suffragette, friend of
the working girl, amateur actress and
champion female shot-putter, executed
her first and one of her cleverest
strokes in her campaign of Votes for
Women"
1t was during her days at Vassar
college. Miss Milholland, on behalf
Of band of enthusiastic suffragettes
enrolled from the students, had in
vited several prominent leaders of the
cause to address a mass meeting on
the college campus. The news of the
approaching event reached the ears
of the faculty, and President Taylor
issued a stringent edict forbidding the
gathering. Miss Milholland was not
daunted, however. A short distance
from the college grounds was a grave
yard. Collecting her forces, she moved
into the cemetery and the speeches
were delivered among the tombstones.

women were rioting in the streets of

a young artillery officer to open fire
upon them with two cannon. The of

son." said the general.
"Certainly," answered the officer
"and 1t is not to their reason, but t.
their vanity, l would appeal"
The officer rode up to the front OF
the mob, dotted his cooked hat, pointed
to the guns and said:
AGentlemen will have the kindness
to retire, for | am ordered to shoot
down the rabble."
The street was cleared at once, foi
none could brook the idea of being
classed with the scum of the city.

Sills most notable achievement to

country air for any reputable off

Mrs Sill last summer, and one eve

her husband.
Examination of the document proved
Subsequent inspection of the property
revealed 5000 barrels of the choicest
Long Island swamp; 1000 gallons of
malaria and an unlimited supply of
eau de board of health. Sill promptly
christened the estate Marshmellow
Arms and began to cultivate.
The last time he struck balance
sheet he rejoiced to learn that by his
ardous toll he had raised a half-acre
of pond lilies yellow, six families of
muskrats, and "scab" bullfrog that
croaks only in the afternoon.
"That farm would be a great prop

Old Times at the Capital.

In recalling the lively and pictur

enjoyed in Washington one is moved
almost TO tears over the commonplace
nature of his own times. John Adams

no bathtub in the White House. and
no one ever pulled kodak on him.

Does the man who CANDLES bet his
own money? Many a man who would
be greatly indignant and insulted If
he were told that he was gambling
with what did not belong to him
would have to admit the truth of the

ing money from the cash drawer of
his employer, and yet he sometimes
borrows money from friend with

is using that which does not belong
to him. If his family needs the
money which he wastes In this way
he is using money which he has no
right to lose. There are very few men
who can conscientiously gamble, for
there are others dependent upon
them who have rights to be consid-

lost. Think 1t over and see IL you
