Here are the main things to be
considered. Note that the shaft of
the club crosses both hands well
down on the fingers. The club
should be gripped largely with the
fingers and not up in the palms.
The fingers are fully able to exert
all the force needed in the stroke,
and they are more flexible, and
subject to greater manipulation than
are the palms.
At the same time, the shaft will
be seen to rest at what / may call
the halfway point between the two
hands. BY that / mean, both

Waterbury, April IS P}-The stir ring days after Lees surrender at AppomattoX in the civil war are very real to Isaac F. Dickenson because. he explains, he drove the coach that carried General L. $. Grant back to Washington.
 Dickenson, now S9, had nearly five years of war service after he enlisted at the age of 21. An injury to his hand placed him under General En- sles, chief quartermaster of the lnion armies. He drove the gen. erals outfit of four horses for q time and then was transferred to another division of the Army of the Potomac.
 After his assignment to drive Grant back to Washington he drove the generals coach in Washington daily for three weeks. He says the general was accustomed to take two children with him to his office each day.
 Dickonson attributes his good health to avoidance of liquors. AS q soldier he was once put in the guard house for three days. he says, because he refused to take liquor with uuinine as a remedy for ma Ia ria
