Caaux case came to the conclusion that while he may
not actually have had REASONABLE connections with the

politics, which to be concomtant Of small per-
sonally led political parties. and neither the evidence

admirably fitted to the case, for while the prison

Is The Other
Fellow ALWAYS Wrong?

On 3sth street in New York City one day last
winter during the period of unusual snow
storms, an automobile and wagon were being
driven in opposite directions The heavy snow
had practically blocked the street, there being
space sufficient only to allow the passage of one
vehicle at time between the high banks of
snow.
There they vere! One vehicle couldn't pass
the other. The words used by the drivers are
not printable. Each driver. of course claimed he
was right and the other fellow was wrong be-
cause he didn't see the other fellow coming.
Some people think that others are always
wrong. That only they are right all the time
They forget that we all make mistakes. THAT'S
WHAT RUBBERs ARE PUT oN.PENcILs FOR,

Ulysses Simpson Grant

Born at Point Pleasant, Ohio on the eth OF
April, 1922, ninoty-eight years ago next Tuesday.
A man who was more noted for his tenacious
purpose and untring energy than for brilliancy
of accomplishment yet who, after he had
brought the great civil struggle to an end, was
universally regarded as the savior Of the ma
ton. He entered national politics under protest
in August, 1867, as secretary of war in President
Johnsons cabinet and held the appointment
until the following January; on May goth, 1865,
unanimously nominated the Republican
presidential candidate, elected and naugurated
March 4th, 1869, and reelected for a second
term which he served until 1877. After the close
of'his presidency he started on a tour around the
world and was received with distinguished hon
ors in England and on the continent of Europe.
Following his return he entered the banking
business in New York city, but in 1884 the firm
became bankrupt, and it was discovered that two
of the partners had been perpetrating systematic
and gigantic frauds This left Grant penniless,
and without having previously made any pre-
tensions to literary skill. he undertook writing
magazine articles and later his personal Me
moirs, a frank, modest and charming book,
which ranks among the best standard military
biographies The sales of it earned for the gen.
eral and his family something like half million
dollars but the circumstances under which it
written made it an act Of heroism compar-
able with any that Grant eyer showed as SOL
der. During most of the time he was suffering
tortures from cancer of the throat, and it
only four days before his death that he finished
the manuscript. He died on the 2Sd day of July,
1885, and his body now rests in magnificent
tomb in Riverside Drive, in New York city, over
looking the Hudson river.
