The Story Of Grants Memoirs

closed February 27. 1885, and work
was begun upon the book.
He had superb memory and
worked rapidly Webster & Co.
offered to supply him with a ste
nographer, and this proved a great
relief. Sometimes he dictated as
many as ten thousand words at sit
ting. 1t was reported at the time,
and 1t nas been stated since, that
Grant did not write the Memoirs
himself, but only made notes which
were expanded by others. But this
Is not true. General Grant wrote or
dictated every word Of the story him
self, then had the manuscript read
aloud to him, and made his own re-
visions. He wrote against time. for
he. knew that the disease from
which he suffered was fatal. For
tunately the lease of life granted
him was longer than he had hoped
for, tho the last chapters were
written when he could no longer
speak, and when weakness and suf-
fering made the labor a heavy one
indeed; but he never flinched or fall
tered, never at any time suggested
that the work be finished by another
hand
Early in April General Grants
condition became very alarming, and
ON the night Of the Sd it was be-
lieved he could not survive until
morning. But he was not yet ready
to surrender. He rallied and re-
newed his task-feebly at first, but
more perseveringly as each day
seemed to bring a little added
strengthen perhaps it was only
resolution. Now and then he APP
peared deprest as to the quality of
his product. Once Colonel Fred
Grant suggested to Clemens that if
he could encourage the General a
little it might be worth while.
Clemens had felt always such a
reverence and awe for the great SOL
der that he had never dreamed of
complimenting his literature.
:" I was as much surprized as CO.
lumbus' cook could have been to
learn that Columbus wanted his
opinion as to how Columbus was do
ing his navigating.
He did not hesitate to give it,
and with clear conscience. Grant
wrote as he had fought, with a SIM
pie, straightforward dignity, with a
style that is not a style at all, but
the very absence of it, and therefore
the best of all literary methods"
Within two months latter the
agents had gone to work canvassing
for the Grant Memoirs, (which is
to say by the 1st of May, 1856
orders for sixty thousand sets had
been received, and on that day Mark
Twain made memorandum estimate
of the number of books that the
country would require, figuring the
grand total at three hundred thous-
and sets of two volumes each. Then
he added:
eff these chickens should really
hatch according to my account,
General Grants royalties will
amount to $4,000 and will make
the largest single check ever paid an
author in the worlds history. Up
to the present time the largest one
ever paid was to Macaulay on his
History Of England 100000. If I
pay the General in silver coin at SIP
per pound, it will weigh seventeen
tons"
The General was removed to Mt.
McGregor, near the CatSkills, in the
summer Of that year, and the work
went on. To. this place Mark Twain
was summoned:
"He went Immediately, and re-

nearo Dy MARK Twain, that
led to the building up of the
fine fortune for General Grants
family as the return from the sale of
his Memoirs . 1t appears, in the
september instaIment of Albert Bige-
low Paine's life of Mark Twain, run
ming in Harper's, that the humorist
himself was the flrst to suggest to
General Grant that he should write
the story Of his Hfe The General
smilingly put the suggestion aside at
the time, but returned to the idea af-
ter the failure Of the Wall Street
firm Of Grant G Ward. The old
warrior was already suffering with
the malady against which he fought
TO complete the written work, when
his determination was taken, and it
was the report OF this latter fact that
Mark Twain heard Mr. Glider ex-
press. Clemens was in the habit of
calling on Grant now and then to
smoke cigar says Mr. Paine, land
he dropt in next morning to find out
just how far the book idea had de-
veloped and what were the plans for
publication" Mr.. Paine continues
the narrative:
''He found the General and his
son, Colonel Fred Grant, discussing
some memoranda, which turned out
to be proposition for the book pub
LEGATION Of his memoirs. Clemens
asked to be allowed to look over the
proposed terms, and when he had
done so he said:
General, the terms proposed in
this contract indicate that the pub
fishers expect to sell five, possibly
ten thousand copies. A book from
your hand, telling the story Of your
life and battles, should sell not less
than quarter of a million, perhaps
twice that sum. 1t should be sold
only by subscription, and you are
entitled to double the royalty here
proposed. I do not believe it is to
your interest to conclude this con-
tract without careful thought and
investigation. Write to the Ameri-
can Publishing Company at Hart
C. l.. Webster & Co., publishers Of
Mark Twain's books) and see what
they will do for you
"But Grant demurred. He said
that, all things being equal, the book
ought to go to the man who had first
suggested it to him. Clemens spoke
up:
General, if that is so, it belongs
to me-
Grant did not understand until
Clemens recalled to him how he had
urged him in that former time to
write his memoirs-had plead with
him, agreeing to superintend the
books publication. Then he said:
General, am publishing my
own book, and by the time yours is
ready it is quite possible that l shall
have the best-equipped subscription
establishment in the country. If you
will place your book with my arm
and / feel that | have at least an
equal right in the considerations
will pay you 20 per cent. of tie list
price, or, if you prefer, | will give
you 70 per cent. of the net returns,
and / will pay all Office expenses out
of my 80 per cent
General Grant was really grieved
at this proposal. 1t seemed to him
that here was a man who was offer
ing to bankrupt himself out of pure
philanthropy.
Clemens said:
General, / have my check-book
with me- I will draw you a check
now for $4,000 for the first volume
of your memoirs, and will add a like
amount for each volume you may

100, 900 CATTLE DEAD
ON COLORADO RANGES
Stock Is Dying of Starvation in the
Eastern Part of the state.

EuSttEh j vi uit tat
Denver-Secretary E. K. White
head of the Bureau of Animal and
Child Protection estimates the loss of
cattle in eastern Colorado at not less
than $4,000 head and believes that a
careful survey may run the total as
high as 100, 1000 head.
Hundreds are still dying on the
ranges and the skinning of fallen car
cases has become a regular business"
he says. 1.-The stock find no nutri-
ment in last years grass, which has
been leeched out by the months of
snow and rain. The new grass, when
it comes, will kill rather than save
the cattle, which are too weak to stand
fresh feed.
From the little town of Fowler
alone 1000 hides have been shipped,
which gives an idea of the extent OF
the industry.
William Lang of Cheyenne, re-
Gently acquitted of a charge of allow
ing cattle to starve, will lose three
fourths of his herd of 1000. The ag-
gregate loss throughout the eastern
counties will be in excess of so per-
cent, according to reports which have
reached this office"

PRISONERS GET TOO FAT.

New Brunswick, n. 1.-THE board
Of freeholders here is considering a
petition from Sheriff B~olischweller
stating that the county prisoners now
under his care are getting too fat,
and begging for the installation of a
number OF bucksaws to be used for
reducing the weight of the afflicted
men.
IAN idle life and good living is too
much for some men," urges the sher-
if. ?
Saving wood is just what they
need. Perhaps, too, the use of the
bucksaw will help me to get rid of
a lot of regular boarders who come
back on some new preteXt or other as
soon as their terms expire. The Jail
has to support some of these men ten
months out of every twelve"

HE CAN'T GET DAMAGES:
HIRED BY "WRONG MAN.
Coal Company Lets EmplOyc Work,
But Isn't Liable When He Is Hurt.

Pottsville, Pa.-The Reading Coal
and Iron company won a big legal vic
tory the other day when Judge Koch
decided that mine foremen have no
authority under the law to employ
men, and that as the agency of the
foremen cannot be established, coal
companies cannot be held liable for
accidents to such men. The law gives
such power to superintendent only,
the court held.
The plaintiff. Ludwig Rapsch, was
a miner at Phoenix Park colliery, who
contrary to the custom, was hoisted
with the swinging door of the car at
the back end. When the door sud-
denly opened he was thrown out of the
car and badly hurt.
Rapsch had been allowed to ride
in the car, but the court threw out
his claim for damages because the or
der permitting Rapsch to go into the
mines came from the foreman.

cattle trade at North Portland and
sales were made this morning tina:
would put prices practically 15c lower
than yesterday. The best offerings
of the morning did not bring more
than $3.50 and perhaps a nickle
more than this could have been OBJ
tanned for something extra select.
Stocks that would have brought $685.
at North Portland this morning
would have sold the first of the week
for 81.
The weaker situation in the cattle
trade herr is due to the recently in
creased supplies. That this stock
came TO Portland from competing
points more on account of weather
conditions in the east is now the con-
clusion of the trade.

Many people suffer from weak hearts. They may expert
ence shorness Of breath on exertion, pain over the heart,
or dizzy feelings, oppressed breathing after meals or their
eyes become blurred, their heart is not sufficiently strong
to pump blood to the extremities, and they have cold hands
and feet, or poor appetite because of weakened blood supply

which has no bad after-efect. Such is DIR. Pierce's Golden
