Let me, who was his constant com

war, bear testimony to his possession
of genuine humanity and manly sym
pathy. His was most peculiar nature.
Where others would fret and grieve,
manifesting their anxiety in words
and actions, he preserved a stern ST.

keenly and deeply the barb of misfor-
tune and sorrow as did those about
him. During the bloody days of relent-
less attack and stubborn defense in
the spring of 1854 noticed an almost
indef1nable sadness in Grant, a sort OF
moody reticence, that convinced me-
who understood the man, that he was
suffering at the destruction of so many
gallant troops.

1864 Mr.. Edward Everett, the noted
orator being chosen to deliver the ora

address being reserved for President
Lincoln. "Mr Everett had spoken

resident of Gettysburg, "and the peo-

cold, stolid fashion, but after Mr.. Lin

Debt Must Never Be Eoruottsn.

The American people have been
patriotic beyond the example of other
nations in providing for those who left
home and all its comforts, business
and all its prospects, life and all its
ambitions, to fight for the flag, for the
Constitution and the Union This is
as it should be, and until the last man
who fought that good fight is laid
away in mother earth forever, we hope
the American people will never forget
for moment the debt they owe to the
valor and endurance Of those who
fought the nations battles in those
days now growing dim even in mem
ory. Their graves should be kept
green with the tears of a grateful
people, and as each Memorial day
comes around in the year, flowers, the
sweetest and brightest, should be
strewn profusely over the graves
where the patriot dead lie sleeping
."the sleep that knows no waking"
on earth and in time.

and Cray;

veying the painful intelligence of the
death of Mcpherson, the beloved COM
mander of the Army of the Tennessee.
WORD OF M'PHERSoN'S DEATH
This rugged and gallant leader, by
his intrepid and cavalier bravery, had
won for himself the enthusiastic sup
port of his men and the unreserved
confidence and admiration of Grant
and his generals. 1t was a telling
blow, just as this time, to the hopes
and aspirations of the North.
l took the dispatch to the general,
and he read it silently. He was hard
hit, l could readily see that. His
mouth twitched and his eyes closed as
if he were shutting out the baleful
words. Then the tears came and one
followed the other down his bronZed
cheeks as he sat there without word
of comment. 1t was most eloquent
silence.
The other occasion was in October
of the same year, when the news of
the death of Gen. T. E. G. Ransom
reached us. Ransom and Grant had
been comrades in arms in the West in
the early days of the war, and a
strong friendship had grown up be-
tween them. The loss of the young
officer struck home with peculiar force
and none felt that loss more deeply
than General Grant.
Perhaps the most welcome of all Wis
itors was the Hon. Elihu w. Wash
burne, congressman from Illinois, and
subsequently under President Grant
secretary of state. He was a close
and beloved friend of the Federal
commander. 1t was Washburne who
bestowed upon me the sobriquet OF
Grants Shadow" because, as he ex-
planned, wherever the general went
followed.

Gardens of the Dead.

Out to the gardens of the dead,
With low bowed heads and solemn tread
The few remaining veterans go,
The screech of fife and roll of drum
Bring back again the feet grown numb,
The measured step and slow
Pierced by the rays of springtime's sun.
Like drops of blood the dew-drops run
From newborn leaves and flowers.
And tear-drops mingle with the dew.
AS memory brings some face to- view.
Like rain-drops after showers.
Upon each sleeping comrades tomb.
They placed the hlac's fragrant bloom.
And bleeGing-hearts, bright red
And near each maidstone white and fair
They flung Old Glory to the air.
In honor of their dead.
Long may we keep their memory dear.
Let every heart their deeds revere;
For us they fought and died,
And as those living pass away,
Let sons and grandsons keep this day.
And deck their graves with pride.

Plans prepared by Treasurer R. w.
Archer show that the State of Ohio
earned s773,542.17 interest on state
funds from inactive repositories dur
ing the quarter year ending April 80,
1916. The total amount of interest
earned on inactive funds from July 1,
1916 to the former date, amounts to
$289, ,S36.07, which, added to interest
to be paid by Columbus banks, which
handle the active funds which are sub
ject to daily checking by the Treas
urer, will bring the grand total of in
terest earnings of the state at the
close Of the fiscal year on June 80,
1916, to more than 100000
In addition to the interest earned by
the state money during the past quar-
ter, the workmen's compensation fund
earned s38,98706 interest during that
period. and this combined with S20,-
