My dear girl, put this boy out Of
your mind. he is undoubtedly as bad
as you have heard and you can do
nothing with him. l do not think he
has heard anything bad about you.
He simply wanted TO hurt you He
doesn't want anything to do with you,
and if you follow him up it would only
do you harm. A girl of seventeen isn't
old enough to 90 about reforming
young men. The first thing she knows

General Carroll was chatting with
a little group of friends one evening
shortly after the presidential cleo
ton of 1908. The conversation turned
upon the relations which were es-
tablished between President Lincoln
and General Grant, relations which
were characterized by the absolute
confidence Lincoln felt in the man
whom he had nominated as comman-
der of the American armies.
Some one in the group said:
zone of the best proofs OF. that
confidence was furnished at the time
some busybody went to President
Lincoln and complained of General
Grant, saying that he drank whisHey
sometimes to excess, Then followed
the now historic remark of Lincoln
that he would like to know what the
brand of whiskey was. so that ne
could buy some and send IL to some
of his other generals.

stories of Lincoln said General Car

General Arthur was. I think, the
most carefully considerate man for
the feelings of others whom ! ever
met. He could be stern and firm. but
he could display those qualities with
out reasonably hurting anyone's feel
ings. He was also gifted with an
ability to say wise things very cpl
dramatically. 1 heard him once
speak tersely and with almost pro-
verblike significance when the occa-
sion was somewhat similar to the one
which led President Lincoln TO ask
what the brand of whiskey was that
General Grant drank.

morning in his library when man
