An intimate friend of President Grant 

 said to him one day, "General, my little boy 

 has heard that all great men write poor 

 hands ; but he says he believes you are a 

 great man in spite of the fact that you write 

 your signature so plainly anybody can read 

 it." 



The president took a card from his 

 pocket, wrote his name on it, and handed 

 it to him. 



"Give that to your boy," he said, "and 

 tell him it is the signature of a man who 

 is not at all great, but that the fact must 

 be kept a secret between him and me." —
