pened to be passing his way again,
when while still some piece OF, saw
something that made me stop and look
in sort of wonder.
Plainly enough, Grant was harrow
ing the field with the same horses he
had plowed it with few days before.
He also was riding one of the horses.
but why was he swinging an arm in
such energetic fashion? At first
thought he might be doing It to guide
the horses, but they kept on In a
straight line through the field, and
knew that my guess was wrong. Per
haps he is using the lash on them
said to myself, but moment later
made out that he had no whip in his
hand
"By and by, as stood watching tho
unusual sight. the captain turned his
team at corner Of the field, and then.
for the first time, saw what he was
up to. Upon the back of the horse
which he was not riding he had fas-
tened large sack containing seed

though 1t may have been oats. Any
way. with one eye upon the harrow. to
see that It was working properly, and
with the other upon his horses, the
captain, with a sort of methodical
rhythm, was thrusting hand into the
sack Of grain, Withdrawing 1t filled
with seed, and scattering the contents
over the field with that energetic
swing of his arm that had attracted
my attention. He had hit upon a sim

For while after making this dis

neared me heard him talking to his
horses as though they were intelligent
beings, and they seemed to obey him
almost instinctively. And so, with a
perfect understanding. an 1t were, es-
tablished between him and them, the
captain both narrowed and sowed at
the same time, and, presume, in the
course Of the day had the field com,

the year, saw 1t as a fourishing
field of grain; and afterwards, when
I heard Of Grants strategy at Vicks-

the mans ingenuity and strategy at
their best. there came to my mind

Annie Louise Cary Had Borrowed
So,cCo to Pay for Her Musical
Education and Couldn't Afford
to Fall.

Annie Louise Cary, who retired to
private life in 1882, following her
marriage to the late Charles NJ. Ray
mond, was one of the first American
girls to give Maine fame as a mother
OF operate song birds of the first or
DER. This she did in the late sixties.
and from then on until the day of her
marriage hers was one Of the famous
contralto voices of the civilized world,
more than realizing the prediction
James G. Blaine made when he heard
her sing on the day of her graduation
from a girls school near Portland,
Me.-that. with her voice properly
cultivated, she would have a greater
career as n singer than as a teacher
which was the vocation her friends
had planned for her.
Encouraged If not inspired, by this
praise from one who was growing
daily in public power in Maine, Miss
Gary decided to cultivate her voice.
She studied in Portland. then In Bos-
ton. and finally there came the inev-
liable day when she bade good-by and
sailed away to contine the study of
music abroad
For two years she applied herself

celebrated instructor, Giovanni Corsi

Annie" they said, don't you think
you are little too ambitious? Don't
you think you are risking your entire
career by essaying to appear for the
first time in grand opera in the highly
critical capital of Denmark, with the
King and the other members Of the
royal family looking on?"
Why do | risk anything?" Miss
Cary asked in turn. Wouldn't you, If
you were in my place, be glad of the
opportunity to sing in the royal opera
house OF Denmark, and with the king
and bis family in the royal box to

But, Annie" was the reply, "see

career.

But the one incident that | shall

around the salute that was fired for
the British flag az the Yorktown CEN

may recall that at the height of that
celebration Of the anniversary of the
surrender of Lord CORVALLIS, the flag

here is the inside story of that un-

Robert C. Winthrop, formerly
speaker Of the lower house of con-

group sat upon the platform. Presl

sympathy and appreciation into the

fact that it was the celebration OF

There was once an Irish Grand Prix.
The horse that lowered the French col

Irishman named Conolly. and was a
big, bony roam, not much to look at in

great surprise to everybody but his

enough for anybody to lay any large
bets on him, with the sole exception
of Conolly himself. whose faith in his
entry was SO great that he mortgaged
his lands and put every cent on the
horse. Up to the very end of the race
