GRANT WAS TESTING.
But the PIucky Southern Woman Was
In Deadly Earnest.

During his Virginia campaign Gen
eral Grant found it necessary one day
to encamp some of his troops on the
beautiful property of a Mrs. Stouton
and also to take room in the house
for his own accommodation. He did
so, however. with great tact and
gentleness. quite winning the heart Of
the estimable lady. AS he prepared to
depart he turned to her.
"NOw. Mrs Stouton. we've enjoyed
your hospitality very much, and I'm
prepared to pay the bill" said Grant.
She protested. but the general assur-
ed her that it was business transac-
ton and she was entitled to fair com
pensatiOn for the supplies they had
consumed and the comfort they had
enjoyed. She named the amount, and
then the general said. with roguish
/ twinkle in the eye:
"Now. Mrs. StoutOn. would you like
it in United States banknotes or in
Confederate money!
She pressed her lips together. her
eyes flashed fire. and without mo-
ment's hesitation she said:
"In Confederate money"
Grant looked at her with admira-
tiOn.

II was not" she quickly interrupted.
81 am in earnest-deadly earnest. I've
made my choice. and I'll abide by the

notify Mrs Kolb of their coming they
built fire in Bright Angel creek, u
miles from her home, which she could

FIRST WOMAN CLERK

Women In Department of In.
terror Tell Their Age
In Vain.

The women of the Department of the
Interior deliberately violated the stern
est law of all femininity and told exact
ly how old they were today in an effoYt
to corral the honor of being the first
woman employed by the department.
But their condolences, the most tender,
perhaps, of which and woman is capable,
were in vain. The distinction, so Secre-
tary Ballinger declared, belongs to Miss
Clara Barton, famous civil war nurse,
who is now near death in her home at
Glen Echo. Md.
Miss Barton, the records show, was
appointed TO a clerkship in the Interior
Department in 1854. More than twenty
years later, after she had quit the SER
vice to devote herself to the work of the
Red Cross, another woman claimed to
have been the first to sit at a Govern
ment desk in the department, but Miss
Burton proved the claimant to be second
by several months. The letters which
Miss Barton wrote to the department
defending her seniority title back in
1876 were shown to the new crop of
claimants today, and they regretfully
admitted that their own claims were
worthless.
The contest for the honor, which many
women may consider extremely doubt
full followed the recent refusal of men,
bers of the local Board of Education TO
give out for publication, the name of the
oldest woman teacher in the public
schools of the District, on the ground
that the distinction might not be de-
sirahle to the lady concerned.
Among the LOO women employed in
the Interior Department, different at
titude prevails. It's nice to be thought
young, of course" they say. but just

KNOX DECLARES AIM
IS NOT ANNEXATION
Trade Relations and Closer
Friendship Only Purpose
of Reciprocity.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Better trade rela-
tions and closer friendship, but not an
nexation, are the purpose of the pro-
posed reciprocity treaty with Canada,
Secretary of State Knox declared at a
speech at a banquet of the Chicago
Association of Commerce last night.
He said the people of Canada and
those of the United States were sub
stantially homogeneous, with deep moral
and racial reciprocities, but that the
benefits of the proposed reciprocity
ought not to be obscured by the fear
of relations conceivably dangerous to
the great Canadian loyalty to England.
James ]. Hill advocated the treaty.
Farmers had been deceived, he said.
with the hue and cry that the effect OF
the treaty would be to lower prices on
farm products. Such fears. he declared,
were proven groundless by statistics.
