CONDENSED STORIES,
flow Grant Handled a Case of Petty
Persecution. *
The recent exhibition here of
models for the memorial which the
nation will erect to General Grant
has brought to light many stones
regarding that great commander.
An interesting one was told the oth
er day by a retired politician, a
warm friend and great admirer of
the general. During the Grant ad
ministration a bloody shirt Repub
lican,. hearing that Miss Jackson,
the daughter of the famous James
Jackson, Ellsworth’s slayer, was
bolding an office under the govern
ment, secured her discharge and the
appointment of one of his constit
uents to her position. The fatal
envelope announcing her dismissal
brought great distress to the poor
girl, who was the breadwinner for
a number of people, and she hardly
knew which way to turn. Friends
finally advised her to go directly to
the president and lay the matter be
fore him. This was a difficult thing
for a sensitive young woman, who
understood and ' appreciated the
prejudice that existed against her,
to do^ but there was no alternative,
and she courageously sought out
General Grant and told him her
story. He was indignant at the
treatment she had received and
promised her an immediate rein
statement. His first request to her
former chief was returned with the
indorsement, "There is no vacan
cy.” To this General Grant replied
with a brevity for which he was fa
mous : "Then make a vacancy. This
government is too powerful and too
magnanimous to wage war on wom
en and orphans.” — Washington
Post.
A Doubtful Remark.
Admiral Schley was strolling
around the picturesque naval ceme*
tery at Annapolis the other day
fore calling him they decided to put
the salt in. With a great deal of
trouble Teddy, standing on the back
of a chair, managed to reach a big
bag on the top shelf in the dining
room closet,twhile Freddy sat on the
chair to keej^t from tipping. To
gether they dumped the bag into
the bathtub and then ran upstairs,
shouting r
"Papa, papa, youf bath is all
ready, salt and everything!”
Poor papa! He plunged into his
nice hot hath and discovered it was
sirup ! And mamma discovered the
loss of a seven pound hag of sugar,
which left a tiny white trail from
the dining room closet to the bath
room.

The Disappearing Ball.
With a sharp penknife whittle a
large cork in the form of a ball
about an inch in diameter. Take a
human hair and form a loop in it
about one and a half inches long,
affixing the ends to the ball with a
little wax or, better still* by forcing
the ends into the cork. How pass
the forefinger of your right hand
through the hair loop, letting the
hall lie on the palm when you show
it. Place your left hand over the
right and at the same time separate
the forefinger from the second of
your right. Qnickly push the ball
with the thumb of the right hand
between the open fingers. The ball
falls at the back of the hand, which
you keep in such position that the
company cannot see the ball hang
ing behind. Remove the left hand
closed as if it contained the ball.
Then open the hand and show it
empty. With a little dexterity you
may with a quick jerk throw the ball
over your hand from the back into
the palm and c show that it has re
turned. For this you must make a
movement as if catching it in the,
air. How break off the hair and
give the ball to the company for ex
amination.
What English Boys Read.
Some one has been inquiring as
to what it. is boys and girls read
nowadays, and the warden of St.
Andrew’s college, Bradford, answer
ing for his own boys, says the
younger boys read Ballantyne and
Henty, those of the middle form
Weyman and Kipling, while the old
est boys concern themselves with
Emerson and Carlyle. As to board
schools, two boys only at St. Austell
have read Scott and Dickens during
the last year, while Burton-on-Trent
has neglected both these authors,
but at Gloucester, where Scott is
"very low down in popular favor,”
Dickens is first favorite. The girls
of Plumstead find Scott and Dick
ens abb* "too long and too dry.”—

Where Running Is a Crime.
In the city of Hot Springs, Ark.,
running is a misdemeanor. Any
person going faster than a walk is
arrested and fined. This law is in
the interest of invalids who throng
the streets and suffer relapses from
the excitement caused by the undue
haste of a stranger.. One who runs
is supposed to be a thief, murderer
or escaped lunatic.—Exchange.

Explosion of a Depew "Jolly."
Several months ago a constituent
of Senator Depew came to him to
seek hi* influence in getting an of

"You write a letter telling what
you want, and I will forward it
with my indorsement,” said the sen
ator when he had heard the man’s
story.
Several weeks later the man met
the senator in the capitol lobby.
"You remember telling me to
write you a letter,” he said.
"Oh, yes,” was Mr. Depew’s reply
as He cordially grasped his visitor
by the hand. "Let me see. You
sent me the letter, didn’t you, and,
if I remember rightly, I indorsed it
strongly*”
"Ho,” said the man. "I never
wrote the letter. I’ve been sick.”—
