General Grant.

General Frederick Dent Grants
death at 60 occurs in the month OF
his illustrious fathers death at the
age of SO twenty-seyen years ago.
The son achieved the highest mill
tary rank save one within his day
and passed away high in the esteem
of his eountrymen. And his was a
very busy career. He saw much
more actual military service, 90 far
as length of time 10 concerned. than
his father, but II was not given 10
him or to his generation to perform
tho service and to achieve the dis
tinetion that makes the name of
UIyssus S. Grant immortal.
The laconic message. Grant Is
dead" brings profound shock and
general sorrow to an affectionate
people, but because Of his fathers
life and service fortune must deny
to the son the possibility of meriting
more. 1t is tribute enough to Gen.
eral F. d. Grant to inscribe upon his
tomb the well-earned epitaph OF
well DONE" which TOO often must
be left off the tablets erected over
the lives of the sons of great men.
He was good soldier. a good cit
izen and rose to his place In the
army upon his merits. He met the
call Of duty when It came to him
from his country and yielded distin-
guished service. though his country,
happily. In his mature years, faced
no such crisis as that out of which
his illustrious father rose in tower
Ing supremacy. NO need TO pause

With rivers prone to go astray, =

To seek the treetops where they may;
With frosts that kill
And winds that chill
And roaring rains that halt the plow;
You sometimes leave

But, please. be joeund. anyhow.
Come. jocund spring. with burning piles
OF rubbish In the filthy alleys.
With hilltops wreathed in misty smiles
And wild streams gushing through the

And gleeful pups

No doubt you'll make
Old people ache,
But do be jocund as you pass.
Come jocund spring. with rioting.

And all the other ills you bring
To spread discomfort and dismay.
With noses blue
For people who
Get off to see the opening game;
Bring chills and toys,
Pain cats ard dogs.

and kept winter and summer IS per

Cullom's First Defeat.

Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom reached
the age OF SO and served nearly
thirty years in the senate and nearly
sixty years in politics before encoun-
tering defeat. His first repulse was
sustained in the Illinois primaries of
the week when the republican voters
expressed choice for Lawrence Y.
Sherman for the senate instead of
the dean OF the upper branch Of con-
gress.
Il will abide by the decision, %
said the venerable statesman on
hearing the news. This means that
Senator Cullom will not urge his
candidacy for reelection before the
legislature In 1918, but will bow to
the popular will OF his party and on
March Of that year conclude his
thirty years tenure and pass out OF
public life.
Senator Cullom entered congress
as member Of the house in 1865.
upon the close OF the civil war, and
has been conspicuous in the councils
Of the republican party ever since.
1t was Senator Cullom who. as chair
man Of the Illinois delegation to the
national republican convention In
Philadelphia, placed General Grant
in nomination for the presidency.
And here, twenty-seven years after
Grants death, Mr.. Cullom is still
serving his state at Washington.
When the asperitiss OF politics are
brushed away this long life OF pub
lie activity reveals much OF distin-
guished worth, both to his state and
