When Grant returned from crushing the Confederacy, he was literally wor shipped by tne people of the north, as many a man now living can testify.

Grant merely bowed and said: I would never ask a subordinate to do what I won't do my- self," then he sat down. The man of action is rarely a talker, but he will tell you that golden grain belt beer is a wonderful stimulus to the energies, because it puts the body in perfect con dition.
