was to him, they kept still and helped him all they could. Soon it became evident to Mateo that at the end of the year he would not have enough to make the three hundred dollars, so sadly he signed a contract for three months more. The savings became larger till at the end of the three months there were three hundred dollars sewed tightly in his coat pocket next to his heart. He was very happy, he was to see Giuseppa and the little puer, for he was free now. He sat on a bench by a station thinking it all out. "How far is it to New York?" he had asked the station agent. "Five dollars," was the quick reply. "Well how far is it?" "Eighty-six miles," he was answered. Why couldn't he walk it? He could do it easily in five days. So he started. He walked all the hot, summer day, at night he slept near the track. The next day he walked; he was getting tired now and sick. Every station he passed looked so inviting to him that he could hardly keep from waiting for a train, but he would press tightly on—the money murmuring to himself, "It is for Giuseppa and the little puer, I must walk." One night he was sicker than usual as he lay down near the track. Soon he fell asleep. Then he dreamed. He dreamed that he was in far-off Sicily with Giuseppa and Fortunato, well and strong; every one was happy now for he had returned safely. name was linked with Washington From 1868-76 he was the chief executive of our nation.

For two years following graduation he was with the infantry at Jefferson barracks. He entered into the Mexico and received two brevets for a train, but he would press tightly on—the money murmuring to himself, "It is for Giuseppa and the little puer, I must walk." One night he was sicker than usual as he lay down near the track. Soon he fell asleep. Then he dreamed. He dreamed that he was in far-off Sicily with Giuseppa and Fortunato, well and strong; every one was happy now for he had returned safely. Roused by the shrill whistle of a locomotive, he arose half asleep. He stumbled and fell on the track still pressing closely on the money with his hand as if he were being robbed. In the death records of the state of New York there is the following entry, dated August 30, 1902. Name: Unknown. Place: Near Sharon, New York. Cause: Fracture of the skull, caused by collision with a locomotive. Property: Three hundred dollars found on person. Time and place of burial: August 29, 1902, in the Potter's field of Sharon, New York. In far off Sicily, a brown-eyed boy whose name is Fortunato, and a dark haired woman are waiting for some one who never comes. Patiently they wait and often the little boy looks up into his mother's dark face and asks: "Why doesn't the papa come? I am so lonesome and he promised he would be back in a year. Is a year a very long time? It has been so long." Quietly he is answered: "Soon, carissimus meus, soon." GRANT, THE MAN AND SOLDIER By Carrie Wetzel, F. U. H. S. The civil war of America was not only the greatest war of modern time but it was also one of the greatest life struggles of a nation in all time. This period brought forth many heroes. On the south we see Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson; on the north, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, and many others, both officers and men, who rose in answer to their country's call and showed their true worth and heroism by defending with loyalty and fidelity the flag they loved. He entered into the Mexican and received two brevets for conduct. At the close of the war married Julia Dent. Resigning the army six years later he went to the farming business. He accepted a clerkship in his store. During all this time a storm been gathering and it burst in fury when South Carolina defined authority of the United States firing on Fort Sumpter. They prepared at once for the storm which it saw was to ensue. All he would much rather have his dispute settled in a peaceful manner united at once with his men in demanding that this be to the national flag be promptly enged. He entered the army and began his service in the Army was universally traduced, sed, and wronged, but in spite this he triumphed. The profound marvelous insight, undaunted al courage, tireless energy and persistency of purpose, which displayed at Shiloh and Vicki caused Lincoln gradually to realize that he had in this modernier from Illinois a man who depended upon to do his duty farthest extremity. Lincoln said Grant's ability, experience, and terested devotion to duty justified fullest measure of confidence revived for him the rank of ant-general, which until now held by no American save Washington. This gave Grant control the armies of the union, and operation of all the forces perfect without noise or friction will became subordinate clear purpose and comprehensible grasp of one commanding mind how rapidly crumbled on even the attempted revolt! Letter but it was also one of the greatest life struggles of a nation in all time. This period brought forth many heroes. On the south we see Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson; on the north, Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, and many others, both officers and men, who rose in answer to their country's call and showed their true worth and heroism by defending with loyalty and fidelity the flag they loved. However much opinions may differ as to the relative merits of the men who led the union troops to battle, few will dispute the fact that the chief representative of the northern armies was Ulysses S. Grant. As General Sherman, his chief competitor for the first place, has said,"Each epoch creates its own agents and General Grant more nearly than any other impersonated the American character of 1861-65. He will stand therefore as the typical hero of the civil war of America." Grant will always be thought of as one of the world's war heroes but he is distinct and apart from the rest. He cannot be put in a class with Alexander, who ravaged the earth to add to mere dominion; nor with Marlborough and Wellington, who played the parts set by the craft of diplomat; nor with Napoleon, who chose to wade through blood and slaughter to the throne. America has a higher place in the congregation of glory for her heroes of Liberty. They have borne their powerful arms with a nobler ambition than the gaining of an empire. Grant's story is strange. At the age of thirty-nine he was an obscure failure in a provincial town. Four years later his picture hung in the homes of grateful millions and his ant-general, which until now held by no American save Washington. This gave Grant control over the armies of the union, and operation of all the forces perfect without noise or friction. It became subordinate to clear purpose and comprehensible grasp of one commanding mind how rapidly crumbled on even the attempted revolt! Letter ring to surrender were thenEdited between Grant and Lee. Decided to hold a meeting at mattox in order to settle the The two men met there in 1865, and as they stood side by side the contrast between the two leaders was most striking and cant. Grant was small with shoulders, his blouse and coat travel stained. He was not dignified in appearance there was nothing about his face to show that he was even a triple stars shining on his shoulders were all there was to show rank, and he looked more like mer than like the general-in-the-great army and the able most successful of living soldiers was tall and straight, his diggers reserve well becoming his presence and he looked even a soldier, a soldier well able with the greatest armies of the He was dressed in a new gown form, and a beautiful sword his side.

But no one could have borne himself with more knightly consideration for his fallen foe than did Grant on this occasion that offered so much opportuity for the display of the littleness and self-assertion of a small mind, or the greatness and self-forgetfulness of a noble soul. Sympathy for the hard fortune of Lee, a fellow soldier, and an alumnus of the same institution, seemed uppermost in Grant's mind. The only conditions that Grant gave were that the men should lay down their arms and return to their homes. Thus ended the great con­test which cost half a million of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars. How different might have been the result if Lee had had to surrender to some general fond of show, one anxious to add the sting of humiliation to the pang of defeat! After the war Grant desired to lead a quiet life, but owing to his position as commander it was for only a few weeks that he could enjoy his well earned repose. During the four years of Johnson's agitated administration Grant rose higher in the esteem of his countrymen. His modest patriotism, earnest purpose, sound and practical wisdom, incorruptible integrity, and illustrious services commended him so highly to the hearts of the American people that as a result he received the highest honor, the greatest gift that lies in the power of the American people to give to any man, the presidency. years of conflict of suffering, death, the result might have far different.

His modest patriotism, earnest purpose, sound and practical wisdom, incorruptible integrity, and illustrious services commended him so highly to the hearts of the American people that as a result he received the highest honor, the greatest gift that lies in the power of the American people to give to any man, the presidency. He held this office for eight years but as a statesman he was not so successful as he had been as a soldier, but he served his country faithfully and nothing that he did was ever regretted or had to be done over. He declined a third nomination and in 1878 he started on an extended tour of the world. Everywhere he was treated with the utmost courtesy, and honors were conferred on him by the rulers of every land he visited. A few years before his death he entered a firm as an honorary member. He put all his money into it and when it began to fail he borrowed more. But Mr. Ward, his partner, was a gambler and the whole business was founded on dishonesty. Grant lost all and to pay back his debts sold his valuable souvenirs and trophies of war. The shock of the failure together with cancer of the throat, a disease which had been creeping in slowly and steadily, caused him to become ill in 1884. There was no hope for him from the beginning and as he realized this he devoted himself, with the same iron courage that had broken down the southern confederacy, writing his memories, that he might leave something in provision for his family. Writing under such conditions and prompted by such desires is a noble evidence of the strength of his affections, the clearness and force of his intellect, and his patient and inflexible determination of purpose. The prospect of pain and disease with only death at the end did not alarm Grant, but seemed to make him more serious. He was in no way dismayed but the sight of him was appalling—the conquerer looking at his own inevitable conquerer—the stern beautifully decorated for the with cherry blossoms and lanterns. At one end of it was constructed a temporary before which stood one of red arches of Japan. As background for the stage, the snow-capped Fujiyama, the mountain of Japan.

He was in no way dismayed but the sight of him was appalling—the conquerer looking at his own inevitable conquerer—the stern soldier to whom so many armies had surrendered, watching the approach of the enemy before whom even he must yield. General Grant did not conquer death but he did with invincible determination conquer despondency, accepting with a sublime faith and resignation the fate which was inevitable. After enduring much severe and agonizing pain he quietly laid down his arms, July 23, 1885, in submission to that irresistible foe, Death. Though the man died the effects and influences of that life will always be felt. It was through his efforts that the north and south united so speedily after the war. In his treatment of the south he was ever mindful of that high patriotic duty of charitableness which marked his conduct at Appomattox. During the four long, dreadful years no heart throbbed with truer sympathy for his suffering foes than did Grant's, and after the trouble no helping hand was held out to them with more brotherly love than was his. He was a patriot of the noblest and truest type and one of America's best and bravest men. He was entirely unambitious and unselfish and had it not been for his brave true leadership during those Johnston, Jap doll. Playing Games—Dorothy Fern Quarton, Lena Spak Grim.

According to an advance chapter of "Mineral Resources of the United States, Calendar Year 1908," by W. C. Phalen of the United States Geological Survey, the amount being used at the beginning of 1909 was no greater than that used in 1906, before extensive additions to plant equipment took place. Aluminum is widely used. Either pure or in the form of ferroaluminum it is used in iron and steel works to remove oxygen from the oxides of iron and other substances and to aid in welding. It is variously applied in the motor-car industry for making parts that require both lightness and stiffness. Jap doll.

Aluminum is widely used. Either pure or in the form of ferroaluminum it is used in iron and steel works to remove oxygen from the oxides of iron and other substances and to aid in welding. It is variously applied in the motor-car industry for making parts that require both lightness and stiffness. Where strength also is needed it is alloyed with copper, zinc, or nickel. As a powder it is used in the manufacture of metallic paints and varnishes; it does not tarnish and aids in fire-proofing. It is also used to coat tubes, either within or without. For domestic purposes its uses are almost without limit, ranging from wall "paper" and paneling to cooking utensils of all kinds. Among its advantages for these purposes are durability and resistance to corrosion. Possibly one of its most promising uses is in connection with electric installations. A new alloy of magnesium and aluminum, known as magnalium, is said to be lighter than aluminum and as strong and malleable as brass. It can also be easily turned, planed, and drilled.
