the cannonading ceased, and every
body was asking, What next? Just
then General Grant rode up to
where General McClelland was con
versing with General Lew Wallace.
He was almost unattended. In his
hands there were some papers which
looked like kilograms. Wholly uneX-
pected. he saluted and received the
salutes of his subordinates. Pro-
ceeding at once to business, he di-
rected them to retire to their COM
mands to the heights out of cannon
range and throw up works. Rein
forcements were en- route, he said,
and it was advisable to await their
coming. He was then informed Of
the mishap of tie first division and
that the road to Charlotte was open
to the enemy. In every great mans
career there is a crisis exactly SINH
lar to that which now overlook Cen
eral Grant, and it cannot be better
described than as a crucial test of
his nature. A mediocre person would
have accepted the news as an argu-
ment for persistence in his resolu-
tion to enter upon siege. Had Gen
eral Grant done SO, it is very proba-
bile his history would have been then
and there concluded. His admirers
and detractors are alike invited to
study him at the present juncture. It
cannot be doubted that he saw viii
painful distinctness the effect of the
disaster to his right His face flush
ed slightly. With a sudden grip he
crushed the papers in his hand. But
in an instant these signs of disap-
pointment or hesitation cleared
away. In his ordinary quiet voice
he said addressing himself to both
officers, Gentlemen, the position on
the right must be retaken." With
that he turned and galloped off,

Gen. Grant at Fort DOnelsOn.
On the morning of the 18th, Gener-
al Grant sent staff officer to each
commandant of division and brigade
to which was impaired the follow
ing: Gen. Grant sends his compli-
ments and requests to see you this
afternoon on his boat" New Uncle
Sam.) There were in attendance on
the occasion some officers of great
subsequent nobility. Grant was the
first. The world knows him in his
tory now; then his fame was all be-
fore him. From the first his silence
was remarkable. He knew how to
keep his temper. In battle, as in
camp, he went about quietly, speak
ing in a conversational tone; yet he
appeared to see everything that went
on, and wa salways intent on bust
ness. He had a faithful assistant
Acknowledgement (Rawlins), and APP
preciated him; he preferred, howev-
er, his own eyes, word and hand. His
aides were little more than messen-
gers. IT. dress he was plain. even
negligent in partial amendment of
that his horse was always a good
one and well kept. At the meeting
of the officers-he smoked, but new
or said a word. In probability he
was framing the orders of march
which were issued that night. When
the Confederates made the onset on
the right Grant was absent, having
been called by Flag officer Foote
aboard the st. Louis in consultation
with him and was uniformed of the
disaster which had befallen his right |
There was a lull in the battle. Even

The necklaced arms of loved ones
They clatter forth to war.
Oh, God, remove this madhess,
And make Thy servants sane!
Remove the fields of carnage
Where wounded and where slain
Are trampled to CORY remnants!
Our God, of war and peace,
Remove from men their blindness
And bid the warfare cease!
A wife stands all forsaken
And peers into the storm,
Above the smoke of battle
She marks the vultures swarm.
No loved one hears her pleading
And to her succor flies
Beside where she stands weeping
A baby starves and dies.
God, lift the burden from them
Who bear the burden most!
God, touch the hearts of rulers!
God, turn each warning host
From ways that lead TO slaughter
Back to the paths of peace!
God, hear the plants of women
And bid this warning cease!

ton Post.

The following appeared in recent
issue of the San Diego Union:
We are at peace with all the
world. No one who speaks counsel
based on fact or drawn from just
and candid Interpretation of reali-
ties can say that there is reason to
fear that from any quarter our indie
pendence or the integrity of our ter
ritory is threatened. Dread of the
power of any other nation we are in
capable of. We are not jealous OF
rivalry in the fields of commerce OF
Of any other peaceful achievement
We mean to live our own lives as we
will, but we mean also to let live
We are, indeed, true friend to all
the nations of the world, because we
threaten none, covet the possessions
of none, desire the overthrow OF
none. Our friendship can be accept
ed and is accepted without reserva-
ton, because it is offered in a spirit
and for purpose wnlch no one need
ever question or suspect. Therein
lies our greatness.-President Wood
row Wilson to Congress, Dec. 8, 1914.
l cannot recommend to your no.
tice measures for the fulfillnent of
our ut,es to the res. of the world,
without again pressing upon you the
necessity of placing ourselves in a
condition of complete defense, and
exacting from them the fulhllment
of their duties toward us. The Uni
ted States ought not to indulge a
persuasion, that, contrary TO the or
der of human events, they will, for
ever, leep at a distance, those pain
full appeals to arms, with which the
history of every other nation abound.
There is rank due to the United
States among nations, which will be
withheld, if not absolutely lost, by
the reputation of weakness. If we
desire to avoid insult, we must be
able to repel it. If we desire to Sc
cure peace, one of the most power
full instruments of our rising pros
perity, it must be known that we are
at all times ready for war.-Presi-

! season. Its social calendar for the ! year has not been announced. l The Country Club only. has outlined series of events which were inaug- urated with yesterdays tea. All of | the affairs at the club, save less than half a dozen during the season, are to be of the most informal character so it behooves milady to look to in dividual entertaining if she would be smart this winter. Small luncheons and dinners followed by auction are gaining in popularity. There is no doubt about it but it is to be a card year and it has been suggested that all devotees- play by the same rules. { Mynne Ferguson has issued his sec ond edition of 1915 auction with all the recent changes in the laws and rules, that might be used as a text book.
 This little book has all the new laws and rules of the game of auction bridge as it is played today at the New York Bridge Whist club, the Knickerbocker Whist club of New York, and all the leading card clubs nf the country.
 The book is full of suggestions and advice and contains everything of real importance that bridge player wants to know. and the play CT who wishes to improve his game cannot afford to be without it.
