~ EHIND one of the most dra-
matte and important moments
~ in the annals of the Ameri-
can people, in which Abraham Lin
coin and General Grant were the
chief actors, there is an appealing
human story that to this day re-
mains virtually unknown. 1t is re-
vealed in obscure and priceless orig
inal documents, says a writer in
the Washington Post.
The event to which the yellowing
manuscripts relate is the appoint
ment of Grant as lieutenant general
in command of all the Union forces
in the Civil war, an ep0chal step
taken by President Lincoln more
than 10 years ago.
Lincoln had watched with increas
ing satisfaction the military record
of the stocky and taciturn Grant.
With the victories at VickSburg and
Chattanooga, the President reached
the decision to place him in COM
mand of all the Union armies. TO
this resolve Lincoln held despite
extreme pressure from numerous
diSaffected elements.
Grant was called to the White
House and told of the President
intention. Lincoln called Grant
aside and told him he understood
the generals dread of public speak
ing" and in order to make things
bit easier on that score, he, the
President, had written out 1.-The few
lines he intended to say to Grant
on the occasion of the formal de-
livery of the appointment.
With characteristic breadth Of
vision, Lincoln urged Grant to say

Reduced dosage is the secret of

You must use little less laxative
each time, and that's why your laxa-

dose can be regulated to the drop.
The liquid laxative generally used
is DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin. It

Work Beyond Your Job

ONCE you have obtained a job,

right at the start is going to be
vitality important. Many men are
Immediately content to begin drift
ing along with as little effort as
possible, with little definite thinking
about the present and less plan.
ming for the future.
Other men begin working them
selves into a fever and think that
just because they work hard and
heatedly they are certain to sue
coed. They fail utterly to realize
that the only kind of work that
produces real success is that which
is directed by q soundly conceived
and organized plan of action.
The wisest plan for young man
starting in on his career, is to
work always q little beyond his
present job. AS soon as you have
mastered the particular job you
were hired to do, begin to pioneer
into new territory. Find out what
the men immediately ahead of You
do and how they do it. Then. by
study. by observation, and by
taking every opportunity to gam
experience in some phase of their
work, equip yourself as far as
possible so that you could handle
their jobs.
If you equip yourself to do the
work of those who are few steps
ahead of yeu on the road to sue
cess you can depend upon it that
opportunities to prove your greater
value will not be lacking. In the
certain nature of things vacancies
will occur or emergencies will arise
which will give you the opportunity
to show what you can do-and it
is to those who prove they can do
more than they were hired to do
that promotion surely comes.

Many Festivities Enjoyed By
Society Circle Last Evening

The New Years Eve Dance at
the Country Club was successful
and enjoyable. There were many
college students attending, to-
gether with a large number of
club members and their guests
and winter visitors.
The rumors regarding the "Pro-
gresSive Parties" as mentioned
yesterday were not unfounded.
Several were in progress last
night, to the great delight of
those participating, and these par
ties threaten to become a we'll
established custom during the
months to follow.
All the foregoing activities
will demonstrate that Society en-
joyed itself last night to the full,
and that 1886 had accorded it the
welcome and reception it de-
served.

Last night was a large one for
Key West society. At an early
hour various dinner and cocktail
parties began as preliminary
for later evening festivities.
Then, two or three hours be-
fore midnight, the ladies donned
their best bibs, fuckers and furbe-
lows and the gentlemen their
tuxedos and flannels, and society,
en- masse, started out gaily to en-
joy itself and properly usher in
1886.
The towns lively spots were
packed. RauPs, with the unusual
Sunrise Dance presented, was
very largely attended by revel-
ling crowd, enjoying the excellent
dance music and the special night
program provided for the enter
tainment of the guests. The Ha-
bana-Madrid Club on Duval street
was also very well patronized for
the occasion.
