 A tanners boy, who was born in a two-room house on the banks of the Ohio, was named at his birth Hiram Ulysses Grant. Although simple and modest by nature, he yet preferred clas sical Ulysses to homely Hiram, and so he parted his name in the middle. As he was starting for West Point he be- came fearful that the hazers would nick name him Hug and he turned H. Ulysses around, making it Ulysses H. On his arrival at the military academy he found that his name had been changed again by the congressman who appointed him to the cadetship, this neighbor of the family having guessed that Ulysses middle name was Simpson, because his mother was Simpson. Since the gov ernment never corrects a mistake, U. s. Grant he had to remain ever after.
 Cadet William Teeumseh Sherman was struck by those suggestive initials when he first read on the Academy bull letin board the name of the newcomer, and all the cadets straightway hailed the shy, stumDy freckled-face, blue eyed brown n-haired, headed plebe as Uncle Sam until familiarity reduced it to Sam, And Sam he was to them al- ways after, even when some of them grew up to be generals with him or gen erals on the other side in the Civil war. Not being a prophet, Cadet Simon Boli- var Buckner of Kentucky had no idea that. one day this still little fellow from Ohio would send him a letter under a flag of truce at Fort Donelson, which would arouse admiring millions to rise up and call the writer Unconditional Surrender Grant.
 Before becoming a cadet the boys schooling had consisted mostly of hard work hauling and saving wood blowing. harvesting, tending horses and COWS and driving stage. Yet he insisted in after life that it was better training than West Point gave him. It taught

A demonstration of the underground
shovel, the invention of w. A. Cole
add James Goudie, of this city, was
made this week at q. Shaft, Pabst
mine, which was viewed with great in
terest by many of the mining men and
other people interested in machinery
The shovel was worked ia Il rock pile
and did wonderful work, it being the
concensus of opinion that ii is a great
success and will be big winner for
the inventors. The shovel has been
worked on coal pile for the past mon
tn and given very satisfactory results.
There are a number of underground
shovels on the market, many of them
being worked in the mines of the upper
peninsula with very satisfactory re-
suits, but the Cole Goudie shovel has
several points Of superiority over any
of the others. the inventors having
prohted by the weaknesses of the SHOW
els which they have inspected, and it
is expected that their new shovel viii

PEACEFUL PROSPERITY.

Where shall the weary eye find rest
In looking over public affairs in any

Spouse comes at least from the out

Little Porto Rico claims the floor to

respects, that there Is no unrest there
and no occasion for it. Porto Rico
is pleased, appreciates its good for

more of the same kind, says St. Louis
Globe Democrat. Its trade Is ten
times what 1t was under Spanish rule,
its schools beyond comparison are
more efficient than formerly, its roads
are far better aud industries more
profitable. Irrigation has been intro
duced and several millions spent In
thus making crops certain, In word,
the teeming little island not only de-
clines to join the army of discomfort,
but thankfully enjoys the blessings
already bestowed, with an excellent
prospect that they will continue. No
suicidal strikes rip up the business
of the Island. Everybody seems sat
isfied with tranquil conditions aud

And it is working out in just about

Problems Of conduct usually begin
with the phrase Ought l." But there
is another code than that which keeps
just within the law. Nobody can say
that a girl ought to give up her seat
to a man, but when a young girl does
sacrifice her seat to an elderly man
it is gracious thing. 1t makes the
bystander think that 1t would be
pleasant to know her. There is
great deal Of this to see-little, al
most unconscious acts of courtesy,
perhaps no more than the holding Of
a door for an older person or a wom-
an encountered with parcels, says Mil

Say. rather, What nice persons they
make themselves out when they do
them.

Sometimes when the boys and girls
"flunk" their finals" or examina-
tions" in school, parents are pretty
severe in their judgment. This should
not be so. Instructors and educators
are changing their ideas about this
school buga-boo. Minds of children
differ and many whose daily work is
brilliant cannot stand up under the
strain of the examination.
The United State Bureau of Edu-
cation published a report sometime
agOand among other things it contains
the following remarks:
THAT the formal examination ig no
criterion for determining ability is a
conclusion abundantly supported by
an examination of the school careers
OF men who have become famous. For
example, Thomas A. Edison never
could pass his school examinations,
and when his teacher reported that it
was waste of time for him to attend
school he was taken out and never re-
turned
Charles w Eliot. while president
OF Harvard L University, once remarked
that he would not have been able to
pass the entrance examinations of his
own university. Henry Ward Beecher
stood siXty-fourth in an examination
in grammar while the boy who ranked

city"
