winter the large number of deaths from
consumption among the monkeys a
been lessened. He TOLD of the habits of
"a number of the animals. He related
some of his personal experiences and
they were especially Interesting. For
twenty-five years Cy DeVry has been
interested In Lincoln Park and in close

appropriate name of Hardscrabble, and
moved with his family. to St. Louis
There he tried the real estate business,

this juncture, when things seemed about

wages 10 be $50 month. He was glad
to accept It. When he left St Louis for

The year 1850 found Grant keeping the
books in the saddlery store. Everybody
looked upon him as failure in life. and
ii is likely that he himself shared this
opinion. But soon afterward. when the
war broke out he was led to hope that
1t might offer him some opportunity. His
first effort in this direction was to urge

of money necessary for starting a busi-

he went to Springfield. Ill..- and asked
Gov. Yates to give him employment In
some capacity. II mattered not what.
The Governor did not look upon his
application with much favor. but finally
directed that he be hired at 3 a day to
do odd jobs at Camp Yates.
Little as he could have imagined It,
however. a new day was about to dawn
upon the fortunes Of Capt. Grant as he
was then called. There was In camp at
NATION very unruly regiment OF vol
unteers, the Twenty-nrst Illinois Infan-
try, which seemed likely to be disbanded
because Of its unwillingness to submit
to discipline. Grant. after all was "a
West Pointer and any real knowledge Of
military matters was just then at high
premium. He was asked IL he cared to
undertake the job Of commanding the
regiment in question, and promptly ac-
cepted the offef, becoming its colonel.

regiment into shape. Anybody WHO at
tempted to dispute his authority was soon
sorry for 1t. In July be had orders to
transfer his command to Alton. The reg
iment refused to ride on the freight cars
provided for its transportation, and he
made the men march all the way. He.
would not even allow them to get aboard
a freight train when one came along.
The Washington herald., 1913-05-25

Modesty was always a marked trait
of this military commander. When. some
time before the events just narrated.
frieAd urged him to apply for the
coionency of a regiment. he said: Few
men are able to Command 1000 soldiers.
and I am sure am not one of those"
and yet the day was to arrive before
very long. when he would command
million men. When asked. three years
later. What sort of a man was Grant?
Abraham Lincoln replied: .He Is the
quietest little fellow you ever saw. He
makes the least fuss of any man you
ever knew. I believe two or three times
he has been in this room quite while
before I knew he was here. It's about
so all around. The only evidence you
have that he's in any place is that he
makes things git. Wherever he 10 he
makes things move" -
In later years particularly after he
became President, Grant was careful
about his attire. but during the civil
war he preserved that indifference to
costume which had marked him while.
