Fortunately his father alightly lotted and the Grants went to i Galena, IH, where the father had taken up a new leather business. Ulyases was to be a clerk at $50 a month. If he gave satisfaotion to bis two brothers, Orvil and Simpson, he ;might eventually become a. part' ner, 'lad not mach was expected of him. Grant was so poor that ever since leaving the army he had 'worn the patched and faded military coat which he had worn in Mexico. How be would have fared in Galena had there not been another war ,one can only speculate upon. The chances are about a hundred to one that he never would have been heard of/ And when war •, did come and Grant offered his ,services it appear- ed that he would have a hard strug- gle to win preferment. -He was a Democrat, ' and once had tried to sell the services of a colored woman who had been given as a slave to his wife by 'her father. The chances are that originally he was a seces- sionist. He had been forced to re- sign from the army for drunken- ness. He still drank. Yet in five years he was to be, with the excep- tion of Lincoln. the most powerful man in the United States. ; Thaw never were ae many bgga,, in lainden. loask not;witcla laV" Ing Memary, in the opinion of ,a. Neer Statesmen; writer. , The worst. of 'it is, he says, han- gars now have none of the romance of beggall- TheY ore prosaic, dull, hopeless. Moat of them look as if they had been bora to be conananplaee citizens earning a more o`r leas honest living. They are not beggars bat collectors. They stand on the kerb; they sit in the doorways of restaurants; the haunt the streets of .the respectable. All the time, they keep shaking their narrow white ;boxes, rattling the cop- pers that the charitable have given them and asking for more. They vary from the sullen to the respons- ive. Some of them seem to demand a right rather than to beg a favor. They believe -that there is money somewhere, and it is only just that it should be shared. "It is 'the habit of civilized societies at the end of a great war," says the writer, "'to provide kerbs fit for her- oes to stand on. Heroes are no long- er so willing as they used to be to accept this as a fitting reward. Even so, heroes, like other human beings, are strangely submissive. To be licensed to 'beg is better than to be allowed to starve. And so the waist end of London, which a few years ago used to be alive with the tinkle of sovereigns, is at present alive with the dull clatter of pennies in wooden boxes. "Strangers to :town are at first de- pressed by the spectacle. Their hearts are touched. They begin by giving to everybody. They feel a bound- less charity that flews out in copper and at times even turns to silver. Every beggar they see is a new ;man. They pity him personally. They shrink from the sin of passing by on the other side. After a week or so, they begin to give here and to give there, but cease to give everywhere. If they have given at the door of the restaurant, they ean refuse on the kerb with a good conscience. And, if they have given on the kerb, :they feel justified in not seeing the man with the box at the entrance to the Underground. They long for the old system of flag -days, so that they might buy a new flag every ;morning and be hall -marked for Ow rest of the day as having done their duty." This English writer doesn't think that this "thin black line of beggars fits in well with the London land- scape." In Italy, he says, it is difficult. Beggars seem, to be a natural part el Italy. They are picturesque in decay. They have crooked hands that are fit for nothing elsei Their thanks are musical: They are a rate by themselves, living in the shadow of church doors. In London, at least, the beggar is a mere ftgafhe of wretchedness. Most pitiful of all are the blind who sit reading the Scriptures with their fingers or who clasp a handful of match boxes and wait for the sound of the penny dropped into the tin cup .that has been hung round their necks. Hardly less wretched are the old grey-haired women who sit un- der the arches of bridges with a tray of match boxes and studa and such pretence of merchandise. They are blown upon by every wind, especially by the cold wind from the east that finds its way round corners. To sit in the wind and the dug, as they do, for a single day would give an or- dinary respectable citizen his death of pneumonia. We have heard it maintained that these wretched crea- tures do not feel the cold, and that there is no need tp waste pity on them. This seems to us too comfort- ing a belief. The beggar under the arches, no doubt, survives as the sol- dier in the vooded trenches did; but it is not through want of sensibility." English made, hand -sew- ed leather, No. 5 size.

CELEBRATE CENTENARY OF ULYSSES S. GRANT This week the American people will celebrate the centenary of U. S. Grant, who is remembered, not for the fact that he was President, but because he was the military genius that won the Civil War and determined the future 'history of the United States. In the light of the Great War the armies of Grant, huge though they were esteemed when he raised and commanded them, seem small, and in view of the tremendous losses to which the world became accustomed from 1914 to 1918, the casualties of the Givil War seem moderate. It is for military experts to say how great was the generalship of Ghent and whether it would have, been commensurate to grapple with the infinitely larger problems that bad to be faced ;and solved in France and Belgium. There has grown up since the Civil War a belief that Lee was a greater general than Grant, end that the Southerners were,. man fro man, better soldiers than ere northerners. Brute strength and enormous reserves helped Court to final victory, but be was within an ace of being de- feated ;and . brhiging down Lincoln with ;him to disgrace, Neverths- WOMAN COULD NOT WORK Made Strong and Well by Lydia E.

Be at home when your husband is expected home. - Be true and loyal. Live within your means. Make the best out of life. Sixty years ago in Toronto, Ont., when he was twenty-five and she was eighteen, W. W. Loomis and the pret- ty girl he took to be 'his bride made a vow, and it brought so much hap- piness and sunlight into their lives that a straighashimmeeing path runs back over the three score years to that time. They admit they couldn't have made their romance survive the years if they had had these "mod- ern notions ..about marriage." They took the vows literally, had never heard about "soul ;mates," or the Mazdaznan. theory Or the egoistic philosophy of the female; the "cos- mos" of the married woman in those days was to be the wife. "We studied this /natter of being m,arried," said Me. Loomis. "We were engaged three years. (Instead of the three days or so which !means to be popular in these times. And when I said, clove, honer and pro- tect,' I meant that." "And en. did I," said 1VIns. Loomis, except that I said 'obey."
