he ENFORCED THE RULE.
But In Doing u Grant Proved His Good
Hearted Nature.


Hearted Nature.
General Grant was kind and warm
hearted man In spite OF a certain
brusqueness of manner A story that
General Logan used often to tell is tc
the point
At the time General Logan was with
General Grant at Holly Springs. Miss,
General Forrest, the Confederate cav
airy leader. had just captured a train
OF supplies. and General Grant had Is
sued an order to his men to scour the
country for twenty miles round in or
der TO get food for his troops. The
country had already been swept pretty
clean. and the new demands brought
a good deal of hardship on the people
Of the neighborhood. At many of the
homes there were only women. old
men, children and faithful colored serv-
ants. These people. hungry and with
out money to buy provisions. were
often forced to apply to the northern
army in their distress. Food was al
ways given them If they would take
the oath of allegiance to the United
States.
One day a rickety carriage drew up
before General Grants headquarters.
and from 1t alighted an elderly woman
and her colored driver The woman
was admitted to the tent. and the serv-
ant stood just inside the tent flap. Only
q few words were necessary to explain
matters. The womans home had been
ravnged by troops. both blue and gray.
and she and her servants needed food.
The soft voiced woman spoke of her
humiliation at having to beg for food.
and added that she made the request
more for her servants than for herself.
II am willing to suffer everything for
the SOUTH" she said. but | can't see
our people starve."
An officer who had charge Of such
cases told the woman that she should
have food If she would sign the oath
Of allegiance. II cannot do that" she
said. MY husband and three sons are
fighting under the Confederate flag.
thank you, sir. for listening to me-"
The woman turned to leave. General
Grant, who had been writing at table
10 one corner of the tent. glanced up
from his papers. He called to the
negro:
"Sam. did you ever hear of Abraham,
LincOln?"
"Yassuh, gen'raI."
do you know that he is trying to
free you colored peopleT
"Yassuh, All knows Il"
Are you willing to take sides with
Abraham Llncoln-to take the oath Of
allegiance to the United States?''
"Yassuh. gen'raL Abs willin' ter do
dat"
General Grant turned to the officer
who had talked with the woman. "Ad.
minister the oath to SAM" be SAID.
and give him the provisions. SEE
that be gets plenty"
The rickety old carriage with its es-
coFt OF soldiers passed through the
Onion lines a short time afterward,
laden to the seats with provisions. and
Sam, probably thinking less of his oath
than OF the supper to come. grinned
from ear to ear as he urged the two
mules TO a faster gait
