ULYSSES S. GRANT

By practically unanimous verdict, Ulysses 8.
Grant is named as one Of the few great military
chieftans Of the world. And the closest scrutiny
OF his work will convince us that. his fame rests
upon the most substantial foundation; upon sue
unqualified and unquestioned upon the car
rying through to Its fulfllment OF the most stu
pendous projects involving such perplexing and
elusive problems only to be encountered In
the art of war, Henry f. Wing writes in the New
York Christian Advocate.
And he won his success without any of the
purely personal advantages with which. in the
popular fancy, the ideal hero is endowed Grant

nothing specially attractive in his bearing He

among Grants most valuable characteristics were
his openmindedness and his wonderful faculty OF
putting lessons once learned into practice
Behind that impassive face this silent man was
holding substantial scheme for putting down the
secession. This scheme embraced the general
movements Of all the great armies OF the United
States and involved the intelligent co-operutfon
OF half score of loyal general commandery
Grant had evidently such implicit confidence in
this general plan that incident Of battle march
or siege could disturb his equanlmity
Only once in my presence in that whole cam

the least suspicion that daughter Of the house
was Confederate spy. She was. Baker says, "a
young and decidedly good-looking woman, with

be violent Union sympathizer, yet at night she

A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
