Ponderous Pe!sonages--UIysses
 Grant.
(By George Fitch.)

Ulysses s. Grant is the worlds greatest illustration of what lack Of perseverance can accomplish and also what can be done by sticking everlastingly to it.
 Grant was born in Ohio, April 27, 1922, and because his father knew a congressman he went to West Point and became soldier, standing at the foot of his class in mathematics, French, tatLling and bed-making, but riding. a horse in a manner which produc- ed the profoundesL respect in said horse. On his graduation he fought in the Mexican war and then gave up the army and went into business.
 Grant became a tanner and might have become a great and rich man in about 300 years by this method. But he did not stick to it, and when the Civil war op- ened he entered the army again, and owing to his quiet but inim-. |itablp system of reducing the en- emy to a few scattered remains, he became lielltenant-gene the highest honor ever conferred on an American soldier; and started for Richmond. If he had been as casual as he had been in busi- ness he would never nave gotten there, but although for weeks at a time inc air was so full of con- Efederate cannon balls that breathing was extremely difficult, he pushed steadily on and took Richmond after a dozen generals had given up the job.
 The war was now ended and as soon as possible the grateful people elected Grant president. He served two terms with much dignity and nobility of character, and then made trip around the world, thus enabling other na- tions to take hasty look at the greatest soldier since Napoleon. He then retired to New York, where in his old age publish ing house failed and ruined him and he was attacked by cancer of the throat.
 Grant now began a battle which made the engagements in the Wilderness seem trivial and com fortable. Fighting off death as sternly as he had ever fought off Lee. he kept him waiting outside until he had completed his mem- oirs in two large volumes and had thus insured his family against want. The nation watch ed the battle with thrObblng sus- pense and when he won the fight and leaned back to die i'll peace it was felt that no victory of the great war had done him so much honor.
 There will be very few Grants in history because Nature had to use up whole years supply 01 iron in fashioning his will when she made him.

English Derby Race Meet
FAvORITE WAS DISQUALIFIED
Rank Outsider Declared Winner of
the Premier Event in Worlds
Racing Circles.

London, June 5. - Yesterdays
race at Epson, for the
derby, the blue ribbon" of the Brit
ish turf, was one of the most sensa-
tional on record. 1t was made me
morable by daring militant suffra-
get outrage, in which a woman was
terribly injured while trying to stop
King Georges horse, Anmer, when he
was running at full speed round the
Tattenham corner; by the disqualifi-
cation for humping of Craganour, the
favorite, after he had passed the win
ming post first, and by the award of
the race with it's stakes of $4,000 to
a rank outsider Aboyeur, a 100to-1
chance
King George, Queen Mary and a
large assembly of royal personages
were witnesses of these exciting Incl
dents which caused something like
CONSERVATION among the immense
crowds brought together by the open
ness of the race and the fine weather.
While the interest in the classic
event was at its most tense point,
just as the Is horses were turning
Tattenham corner into the stretch
for home, woman rushed ont of the
dense crowd and threw herself in
front of Anmer and Tn1ther horse,

jockey Earl. passed by in safety and
unhurt, but the woman managed to
cling to Anmer's bride and brought
down both horse and rider. The result
was that Jones, the kings jockey, re-

the jockey, suffered from a bad cut
in the head, but his injuries other
wise were not serious.
Meanwhile, the race had come to a
conclusion with an exciting struggle
and a close finish. 1t was announced
that Cragaour, the favorite, had won
Almost Immediately, however, the
enormous crowd which surged over
the track heard with amazement that
an objection had been raised and af-
ter many minutes of suspense it was
announced that Craganour had been
disqualified for humping in the
stretch and that the race had been
awarded to a rank outsider, Aboyeur,
who had made all the running and
led throughout the race except at the

WESTON ON LONG TRAMP
ST. PAUL SINKING
Cathedral Stands in Wet Sand and
Subsistence is Marked.

London, June 3.-Renewed anxiety
as to the safety of st. Paul's Cathe-
dral will be aroused by the further
report which the Dean and Chapter
have received from Sir Francis Fox.
This report shows that st. Paul's is
in real danger unless steps are TAX
en- promptly to check the subsistence
which is steadily going on. The
dome and walls have been found to be
out of plumb generally in a south
westerly direction. This divergence
would be unimportant if the building
were at rest, but it is steadily in
creasing and the danger point must
be reached sooner or later. Sir
Francis Fox adds:
The Cathedral is underlaid by
wet sand and gravel, which con-
stitute an unreliable and unstable
condition of affairs which requires
remedy"

WALL STREET BANKS.

Most wall street banks insist on
having a twenty point margin behind
each loan. That means that man
borrowing 100000 must put mp as Sc
curity stocks or bonds of $4,000 mar
ket value. II the securities decline to
a point where the $4,000 margin is
reduced 10 $1,000 the borrower is call
ed upon TO put up additional securi-
ties. Most brokerage houses do not
wait for such summons, but send
the necessary collateral to the bank as
soon as they see that the price of their
securities has declined.
But the banks are guided always by
the character and the financial stand
ing OF each borrower. Each bank has
a list of favorite borrowers who can
secure whatever money they need in
times OF stress or I'm times OF calm.
