Genera Grant
General Frederick Dent Grant's
death at i occurs in the month of
hie Illustrious father's death at the
age of 61 twenty-eevon years ago.
The son achieved tha highest mili
tary rank tave oca within hit day
and passed away high in the. aateem
of his countrymen. And his wss a
very busy esreer. He ssw much
mora actual military aervlce, so far
as length of time is concerned, than
hla father, but It was not given to
him or to his generation to perform
tbo service and to achieve the dis
tinction that makes tha name of
Ulyttua S. Grant Immortal. -
The laconic message, "Oraat la
dead," brings a profound ahock and
general sorrow to an affectionate
people, but because of hla fatber'a
life and service fortune must deny
to the ton the possibility of meriting
more. It Is tribute enough to Gen
eral F. D. Grant to Inscribe upon bit
tomb the well-earned epitaph ' of
well done,' which too often "mutt
be left oft the tablet! erected over
the lives of the sons of great man.
Ha waa a good soldier, good cit-
Iten and rose te his place in the
army npon bit merits. He met the
esll of duty' when It cams to him

guished sanies, though hit country,
bspplly. in his mature years, fased
no such crisis as thst out of which
his illustrious father rose la tower
ing supremacy. No need to pause
tor Invidious comparisons by Imag

the week when the republican voters
expressed a choice tor Lawrence T.

"J will abide by the decision'
said the venerable . atatetman on
hearing the news. This means that
Senator Cullom will not urge bis
candidacy for re-election before the
legislature In 1913, but will bow to!
the popular wlil of his party snd on
March 4 of thst year conclude hit
thirty years' tenure and pass out ot

Senator Cullom entered congress
as a member of the house In 1865,
upon the close of the civil wsr, and
has been conspicuous In the councils
of the republican party ever since.
It waa Senator Cullom who, as chair
man of tha Illinois delegation to the
national republican convention In
Philadelphia, placed General Grant
in nomination for the presidency.

Come, jocund spring, with bud on bough)
With daffodil snd gentle aephyr, '
With rich milk from the brtndle cow
And gladneas In tha skipping heifer.
With blossoms rare.
And everywhere
New hope for bird and beast and man:
Coma, spring, and try
Aa you go by
To be si jocund as you can.
Come, jocund spring, with slop and mud)
With rivers prone to go astray.
With man and beast forced by the flood)
To aeek the treetopa where they may;
With frosts that kill ,
And winds that chill
And roaring rains that halt th plow!
Ton sometimes leave
La cause to grieve.
But, please, be jocund, anyhow.
Come, jocund spring, with burning piles
Of rubbish In ths filthy alleys.
With hilltops wreathed In misty smiles '
And wild stream gushing through thi
valleys.
With buttereupa.
And gleeful pups
That tumble, carefree, on the grass;
No doubt you'll make
Old people ache.
But do be jocund as you pass.
Com jocund spring, with rioting,
Housecleanlng. strikes and moving -day,
And all th othsr ills you bring
To spread discomfort and dismay.
With noses Blue
For people who - -
Get off to see th opening game;
Bring chills and togs,
Rata eat and docs.
But pleas be Jocund, Just th tarn.
