GRANT, who presided at the" court-maVtia! eeaslon at Fort Wayne, in the western suburbs of Detroit, said to some friend that the cigar that Initiated his M father, the late President U. a Grant, into the tobacco smoking habit really figured quite strongly In the winning of the bat tle of Fort Donaldson. Speaking of this Incident, General Grant said: "My father was In conference with Ad miral Foote on the tatter's frsgshlp and had Just accepted a cigar from the ad Jtlral when word came to him that the left flank of his forces was being repulsed. "Hurrying ashore and galloping on a fleet horse to the battlefield, he succeeded la rallying his forces so completely that chaos was turned Into victory. General Buckner had to comply with my father's demand for an unconditional surrender. "Tlia newspapers took up the fact that father had rushed from the war ship to the battlefield without taking Admiral Foots' a cigar from his mouth. The dls patches from the front told how father had oo me onto the battlefield 'cool and collected and peacefully smoking a long, black cigar.' "People who read the story began send ing congratulations and presents of cigars. Tn of thousands of cigars came, and ray father smoked many of them. It made a confirmed smoker of him. "But he did not smoke as many cigars as people Imagined lie did. Sometimes one cigar that he would frequently re-light would last him from breakfast to luncheon. It was the fact that he almost constantly held a cigar between his fingers that made people describe hlin as a great smoker." General Grant said that his father tried to acquire the smoking habit at West Point lust because the rules forbade smok ing. His attempts at smoking while he was a cadet, however, made him very sick and when be left West Point he practically gave them up. During the Mexican war. General Grant said, his father took a lik ing to the Mexican cigars and found that they agreed with him, but when he re turned to the north he again dropped the habit of smoking, to resume it after the Fort Donaldson incident. Mr. Tail's Personality. As a matter of fact, writes "An English, man" In Harper's Weekly, to anyone who knows Mr. Taft the charge that he lacks "personal magnetism" Is simply laughable. I will defy anyone to come across him in private without feeling drawn toward this good-humored, unconventional, rollicking giant, with his frank, free bearing, his massive look of power and adequacy, radiating air o jollity and seat I recall that at the first moment of our meeting and this, I think, roust be pretty nearly every one's experience he made on my mind and senses four distinct Impressions. The first was that he was Immensely lik able. His heartiness, his genlulity, you fait at once, rang true. There followed In stantly the cor.vlctlon that here was a man you could trust to the last In his face, his eyes, his whole manner of bearing, Mr. Taft carries the unmistakable stomp of an engaging and unswerving Integrity, He la one of the most palpably honest men I have ever encountered. He is honest even In his politics. Indeed, It is hardly too much to say that his politics are com prised in saying straight out precisely what he thinks. He is almost as incapa ble as Lord Rosebery himself, though from widely different causes, of the distortions of partisanship. My second Impression of Mr. Taft as he sat down, munched a sandwich, hoisted a huge leg over the arm cf his chaJr, and re lieved the waistcoat buttons of their nor mal functions it was In his official room In the War department was that, what ever might be his shortcomings, affecta tion, "frills," pretentiousness of any kind, were not among them. A snapshot of Mr. Taft at tliat moment would have made an admirable study of democracy In undress. My third and fourth Impressions I call them the third and fourth, though they came simultaneously with the others were those of an unhurried, ever ready Instinct and capacity for dealing with men and things. Mr. TaXt'a overwhelming physique alone seemed somehow to guarantee his efficiency. One could not Imagine the problem that would not give way beneath such an Impact; and one could quite easily conceive him crashing through all obsta cles and entanglements with the all-conquering certainty of a smiling, patient, supremely human steam roller. This, In deed, Is precisely what he has been doing for the last ten years. Vermont's Calfskin Senator." Wrtti the election to the United States senate of Carroll S. Page of Vermont tu fill out the unexpired term of the late Redfleld Proctor, Washington has acquired a new brand of legislator namely, a "calf skin" senator. There have been "oil'' sen ators, railroad senators, and lumber sen ators, relates the New York Times, but never before has the humble calfskin reached such heights of dignity. In this Instance, however, Mr. Page represents his own tannery, and not a cattle trust Meeting a loyal son of Vermont, he was asked, "What haa this new man. Page, your new senator, done to be sent to Washington?" "Calfskins," replied the loyal son of Ver mont; "Carroll 8. Page has bought more calfskins than any other man In the United 8tates." Then was tojd characteristically Amer ican story of a poor boy who built up a big business, and Is now president of two banks, a director of railroads and on of the very few millionaire In his state. Thla la regarded as no slight achievement, be cause, as the Vermonter put It, "any old fool can find a million In New York, but It takts brains to do it In Vermont." . Mr. Page's fortune all originated In the tannery business at Hyde Park, In La moille county, and the Inquirer was im mediately assured that the nomenclature of the town containing the tannery Is merely a coincidence, and not a hideous attempt at the Jocultr. When, however, the "king of Hyde Park" decided to "break Into" politics, his troubles began. In 1MW he was elected governor of Ver mont, and In the campaign to secure the republican nomination received the title which has stuck to him ever since. Borne political rival referred to him as "Mr. C. S. Page, whose Initials aptly fit his busi ness, calfskin," and "Calfskin Page" he has been In Vermont ever since. It made excellent material for campaign humor, this play on his name, but whilo his op ponents were chuckling over the J jke Page got the. nomination and was elected gov ernor. A Comedian's Vaaary. Frank Daniels, the well known comedian. Is said to have a most extraordinary fear of death. . If he can posBlbly back out from attend ing a funeral he invariably does so. In fact. It is said that he never went to one in his life until KJrke La Shclle. his old time friend and manager, died a short time ago. Then It was absolutely necessary tor PankJj to go to the funeral He did. But he arrived back at his homo in Rye, N. Y., In a state of great agitation and promptly i took to his bed. But as nothing seemed to be the matter wltli him, ho gradually plucked up courage and decided to arise, as usual, the next day. His valet asked him whether he desired to put on the clothes which he had worn the day before. "What!" exlamled Daniels, horrified. "Wear those things I had on at the funeial! Neverl Throw them away burn them up! I never want to see them again!" And his previous agitation returned to such an extent that he almost decided not to get up that day at all. What Becomes of Our President (Continued From Page One.) at his home In Greenville, Tenn., until 1875, but his desire to re-enter public life was ever present. - General Grant was the only ex-presldent to make a tour of the world. Ho started on this remarkable trip In May, 1877, sailing from Philadelphia, and for two ye:irs and four months his progress through various lands was a continuous personal triumph, such as the world has rarely witnessed. A determined effort to nominate him for the presidency In 1W0 failed. His closing years were clouded by financial troubles and bodily affliction; V.ls business ventures were disastrous and he tolled sturdily with his pen to redeem his fortunes. He died In July, 1886. Rutherford B. Hayes retired from the White House to his home at Fremont, O., where he lived peacefully and happily until his deuth In 193. He devoted much of his time to farthering charltabJa, educational and prison-reform Work, and was content to serve his follow-men in such occupa tions. Kx-Presldent Arthur resided In New York after his retirement, taking little pnrt In public affairs. Kx-PresId.-nt Harrison re sumed tho practice of law, and was re tained In a number of Important cases, among them the famous Venezuelan claims case. Mr. Cleveland, the only prssldent to return to the White House after It oc cupancy by a successor, practiced law In New York nft'T his first term, and after his sec nd live.
