THE SECRET OF LONG MFE.
Do not sap the springs of life by neglect of the human mechanism fay allowing
the accuiaulatioo of poisons in the system. An imitation of Nature's method of
restoring waste ef tissue and impoverishment of the blood and nervous strength is
to take an alterative glyceric extract (without alcohol) of Golden Seal and Oregon
grape root Bloodroot Stone and Mandrake root with Cberrybarlc Over 40 years
go Dr. Pierce gave to the public this remedy which he called Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. He found it would help the blood in taking up the proper ele-
ments from food help the liver into activity thereby throwing out the poisons from
the blood and vitalizing the whole system as well as allaying and soothing a cough.

Success Under Difficulties
How Ulyses S. Grant Who Was a Failure In Everything Until 38 Got On the
Right Track.

ULYSSES SIMPSON GRAFTS first

Connecticut. His jTeat-grand-f

Pennsylvania where in 1704 Jesse the
father of the future president was boss.
Grant's father was left an orphan at
11 and apprenticed to his half brother in
Marvsvilk. Ky.. at 16 to learn the tan-
ii. r s trade W hen he had served his
tune he settled in Ohio in 1799 and
established himself in business at Ra-
1 f nna Portage county. He married Miss
Hannah Simpson -whose people emi-
grated from Pennsylvania. Compelled to
gne up tanning on account of illness he
settled down at Point Pleasant where
Ulvsses was born. April 27 1822. A
i. oar later Jesse Grant moved to George
town and resumed tanning u lyases was
early put to work and at 8 was driving
a team. At 10 he engaged in trucking
hotween Georgetown and Cincinnati lhe
bov was fond of horses and showed great
cL-lll in maltlUnnC them. He had the

reputation oi ueiug iuc n m.m-
-ider in his part of the state and made
his first reputation in Georgetown bv
accepting a challenge to ride a trick
mule in a circus a feat which he easily
accomplished.
Self Reliant as a Lad.
As a lad he was self reliant and in-
variablv determined. Thomas L. Hamer
was the Democratic congressman from
the district and a nearbv neighbor but
Grant's father was a Whig and both a
personal and political enenrv. Gonse-
quentlv there as little hope that
Tlvsses could hate his ambition grati-
f.ed to go to West Point. Mr. Hamer
had secured the appointment to a cadet-
ship at West Point for a son of Dr.
Bailev. the leading physician of George-
tow n. Young Bailey went to West
Point but failed in his examination for
admission. He wrote home telling of his
faHnrp. The morning on which the let
ter was received read and discussed in
the family at Georgetown young Grant
happened to be sent by his mother to
the Bailev home a short distance up
the street to get butter. As he quietly
entered the Builey home he happened
to overhear of youiur Bailey's failure.
Securing what he had been sent for he
hurried home and without saving any-
thing hurried to the upper end of town
to the home of Mr. Hamer. to whom
he said: "Mr. Hamer. if there should
be a vacanev nt West Point will you ap-
joint me?"" Hamer answered imperious-
lv. "There is no vacancy sir young
Bailev has the appointment."' rBut"
Eaid young Grant. "Mr. Hamer if there
should be a vacancy can I have the ap-
pointment?" "There is no vacancy and
no likelihood of one." said Hamer but
Toung Grant kept putting the question
'if there should be one." and did this
so quietly and persistently that finally
to get rid of the boy. he said. "Yes if
there is one I will appoint you."
Keeps His Promise.
Grant immediately withdrew he had
Ham&r's promise a few hours later the
news got out that young Bailer had
failed. Then Grant returned to Mr. Ha-

mer fend reminded him of his promise
and Hamer made good by appointing
him. Just at this time Mr. Hamer and
Grant's father were at enmity over a
political discussion and this and other
reasons made it very unlikely that Ha-
mer would appoint 'Grant but Grant's
ruse in securing Haulers promise waived
all these and they were always there-
after firm friends.
Grant was christened Hiram Ulysses.
His mother's name was Simpson and Ha-
mer in filling the application for the ca-
detship put down Ulysses Simpson Grant
and Grant forever afterward used that
name.
Kot Brilliant as Student
At West Point Grant did not distin-
guish himself as a brilliant student. He
excelled however in horsemanship. He
graduated number 21 in his class. He
entered service in the Mexican war as a
j lieutenant he did not distinguish
himself but the long toilsome marches

vice.
After the proclamation of peace
Grant returned: home in August 1848
and married Mies Julia Dent of St.
Louis. After a short service in the
army in different sections of the coun-
try and during which time he had
reached a captaincy feeling that the
eight years service required fir the ap-
ernment had now been rendered and Chat
he had paid for his education by his ser
vices he decided to leave the army and
seek activities in another field.
Takes Small Farm.
He took a small farm near St. Louis
and spent a good deal of his time in
hauling wood to the city. He tried in
vain to add to his income by becoming a
collector of debts for others. He was
anxious and ambitious to succeed but a
lang series of failures were recorded
against him. so his father took him to
Galena and the business was changed to
"Grant & Son. leather dealers" and
Capt. Grant commenced again the old
bu3iness of handling hides. This seemed
to him to be his life work but suddenly
there was a call to arms. He was ready
at once to respond to the call oi duty. He
organized a company of volunteers and
offered his services to his ivnmtj-v ln
j the adjutant general never acknowledged
the letter. He was willing to serve his
country in any capacity. Eminent civil-
ians were offering themselves as com-
manders and there seemed to be no
chance for the obscure tanner.
An Unpriated Story.
I was told recently in Georgetown
the story never printed that at this per-
iod Grant came to that town and called
on a few of his father's friends to raise
money enough to buy an outfit to bake
hardtack as he had a contract to sup-
ply the army. A friend discouraged him
and insisted that he must be a soldier.
His name was now presented by a i
jneua wj governor lates. His nulitarr
education and experience in the Mexican
war was emphasized and the governor
commissioned him as adjutant and set !
mm 10 wont to assist tn
ie uovernor in
arranging the quota for the state. A
little later the Governor received a re
quest from the president to send on two
names for the position of brigadier gen-
eral and proposed to Grant to send hia
Grant declined the offer preferring he
said to earn his promotion.
Is Made Colonel.
Having completed the work required to
meet the first call of the state for troops
Grant was commissioned colonel of the
Twenty-first regiment and only got
this job because its own colonel coukl
not manage the men. Below medium
height and of shabby appearance the
new colonel made a poor impression on
the regiment but now he was in the
army of the Tjnion and the force of his
character began to show itself. He had
offered his services to the general gov-
ernment but no attention was paid to
the offer.
-r5S d tried et on the staff of
McClellan but failed. Having heard of
? ters aPiBtaient as major general
of Ohio volunteers be modestlv thought
as an old army friend he might offer
him a position on his staff so he went
to Cincinnati to see McClellan. He called
on him twice but finding him out both
times and seeing a crowd of applicants
around his headquarters he became dis-
couraged and returned home.
v5.i uGranv obtainl an interview with
McClellan. he might have received the
coveted appointment shared that com-
mander's fortune and fate and so have
been lost to the civil war.
Strangely Worded.
Some of tbe applications ror relief
sent to the local committees by suffer-
ers from bosh fires are strangely word-
ed sys the Melbourne Argus. Here is
a extract from oae by a widow: "I
have In family four dairy caws two
pigs a horse and three children all
these being by my first husband and
two goats In full milk and a baby by
my second husband. All of the ani-
mate was lost In the fire."
George IV.'a Wit.
Mrs. Byrne in her "Social Hours
With Celebrities" tells this anecdote
of George IV.'s wit: "I remember one
of Bev. Mr. Wagner's stories concern-
ed some nobleman who had enjoyed
an unenviable reputation for asininlty.
It bad been suggested to tbe king to

This part of the

but it is exceed-

One of the great
attractions of the
"No Clasp" dance
Is tbe absence of
any hard acrobatic
movement.
While some of
th steps and move-
ments are a trifle
intricate none of
I
F you don't like the "Bunny Hug"
and think the "Turkey Trot" ob-
jectionable tbe "No Clasp Dance"
of the "Winter Garden show is the
dance for you. It's one of the most
original dances I have ever done and
It appeals to so many people that I
am going to tell you now just how
to do it.
It can be danceo to any good waltz
music from the Strauss "Blue Danube"
to the most modern waltz and the
time does not vary or change suddenly
from three-four to two-four time as
so much of the dance music does now.
The "No Clasp" is a graceful ball-
room dance and It is so unusual that
I think It will be very popular for
charity entertainments and fairs
where young people are always trying
to do something new stipulating that
the new shall not be too difficult or
take too much time to learn.
Of course if you want to dance the
"No Clasp" perfectly you will have to
be a pretty good dancer and practice it
a great deal. Just as my partner and I
do; but for the ordinary ballroom this
dance can be adapted to suit the talents
of the moderately good dancer and it
will lose nothing of its originality.
The scene in which we do this dance
is darkened .and a spotlight is used
illuminating me and my partner This
is a very pretty effect which can be
reproduced for entertainments. I wear
a costume of very pale pink one of
those tight skirts which for dancing
has 'to be slit up the side and a pow-
dered wig with long curls while my
partner wears a white satin costume
and powdered wig. too. and the ef-
fect is especially pretty against the
dark background. He has a long red
sash wound around his waist. The
sash Is the necessary part of the dance
and should be of -very strong silk about
two jards long

is that tie partners do not touch each
otiier until the very end of the dance
thoiigh the stand quite as close to-
gether as ordinary dancing partners.
We begin the introduction of the
waltz by striking a pose which Is the
waiting pose of the ordinary waltzers
feet in position head up looking di-
rectly into each other's eyes but in-
stead oft holding each other we cross
our arms over our chests and I stand
with my arms crossed Just a little be-
low my partner's but not touching.
Waltzing Slowly.
Now the waltz music begins and with
the regular undulating movemtnt both
in strict time we waltz together keep-
ing close but never touching and each
with arms over our chests and I stand
tlon. Of course the art comes In keep-
ing perfect time and dancing exactly as
if your partner's arm were about you.
It helps a good deal to look each other
straight In the eye. and this should be
done anyhow as it is part of the at-
traction of the dance.
After IS bars danced like this we
unfold our arms I clasp my hands
behind my back and he does the same
and we continue to waltz. There is no
interruption In the waltz step no mat-
ter what positions we may take. The
rhythm and movement are never broken
for an instant.
Of course you understand that In
waltzing with the hands clasped be-
hind the back we are Just as close to
gether as ordinary waltzing partners
would be and you have to be in great
sympathy -with your partner and have
marked out just what part of the floor
ou are going to cover and Just how
much of the music you are going to
dance in this way. If you are not
studying with a dancing teacher who
has worked it out. that is optional
with you and depends upon the music
and your own choice In the matter.

one instance was that of a brine wno
had rorsaken her husband and deairec
to hae her marrUge annulled. An-
other was the case of a man wnoso
mfe asked her freedom because lie
was improvident and a failure xne

In eaih of the first two cases the
mans argument is a whining admission

but that woman should have looKed be-

of his oirii worth against his wife s. to
her disfavor.
From these cases we may draw some
alsturbing and unwelcome conclusions.
One is that the alleged noblest work oi
the Creator does kiss and tell. He even
marries and tells. Therefore is no wom-
an guaranteed of the privacy of her
wooing. Kven if the conceited male weds
her he will tell that she asked him.
Man will have something new to boast
of the number of proposals of mar-
riage he has received and how many
fair girls have languished for him in
a ain.
"Women Xorr Wear Mittena.
Mittens are no longer a prerogative
of man. Women ill now have to wear
them when the man is cruel or when
he prizes a career above marriage.

watch the sunset and the twilight come

The Triumph of I ureases.
V Anotner conclusion that does not
fcad us to think more highly of the
aunted strength of man is that the
one who 8 "'cs ' seems always to

because she asked him. Not because
lie loved her. not admittedly because

Because you asked me." Yet that is
precisely what these logical creatures
are answering. A woman's answer has
