Grant's Quick Wit.
Once during the civil war, when
Grant was in subordinate command,
he was reconnoiterlng alone near the
enemy's lines. Suddenly he found
himself confronted by one of the Con
federates' pickets, who was for arrest
ing him. “Sho! Sho!” said Grant, with
the utmost coolness. “Can’t you see I
am reconnoitering In the enemy’s uni
form? Don’t make a noise. I shall be
back directly.” And he walked away
quietly until out of the picket’s sight,
then ran as nimbly as he could.
Dust In One’s Eyes.
To “cast dust Into one's eyes” per
fectly explains itself. It Is, however.
Interesting to know that Epaminondas
at the battle of Tegea defeated the
Spartans by masking his movements
with a large body of cavalry. He
caused the horsemen to gallop to and
fro in front of the enemy in such a
way as to raise a cloud of dust and so
veiled the movements of his infantry
and enabled them to take up a new
and more advantageous position.
His Way.
“Blnks apparently likes sea food In
his sport"
"What do you mean?’
“If he goes for a row he invariably
catches a crab, and If he motors hts
car always turns turtle.”—Baltimore
American.
The Answer.
‘T tell yon, society is to blame for
the criminal. Why are the majority of
convicts in prison?”
“I think very likely because they
can’t get ont”—Baltimore American.
