sherman's Hatred Of Display.

AS he was one Of the bravest. so Cen
eral Sherman was also one Of the most
modest of men. He is the only known
American to have declined a genuine
offer Of the presidency, and one Of the
few North American generals to have
been in position OF demanding it..
With this trait in mind, Gen. Horatio
c. King, his friend and companion. tells
us in The Christian Endeavor World
how at the great review in Washing
ton in May, 1865, coming face to face
with General Meade, General Sherman
remarked:
Meade, I am afraid my poor latter
demalian corps will make poor APP
pearance tomorrow when contrasted
with yours"
Meade consolingly replied:
Sherman. the people in Washing ton
are now so we'll disposed to the army
that they will make all allowances. You
needn't be afraid
Nor was he! But for the rest Of his
life Sherman studiously avoided pub
lie appearances whenever possible.

Sherman's intense hatred OF sham

body was lying In state in the capital

his apprehension. as this letter Of Jan.
9, 1884, to General King abundantly re-
veals. 1t reads:
Dear General: was simply amused

TWO Steps Were Taken This After.

ALSO FILE PROTEST

Two steps to oppose the Mississippi
River Power Company from securing
the board of supervisors of Lee coun-
ty to establish drainage district
for the protection of Green Bay land
were taken today in Fort Madison by
people directly interested
The most important of the two is
an injunction suit brought in the
district court this afternoon against
the board to restrain it from form
ing the drainage district contempla
ted. The plaintiffs in this action are
John Patterson, D. l.. Alley. George
Rogers and Sarah M. Casey.
| A protest has also been filed with
the county auditor at Fort Madison
against the establishment of the drain
age district. 1t is signed by seventy
/ FIVE farmers.
The injunction suit adds to the liti
cation with which the water power
company is now confronted. All OF
the suits thus far. with the exception
of that brought by the Mills-Ellswortf
company, have been the result of the
disagreement with Green Bay farm
ers.
