More amusing are the strange fancIcs that
some persons have as TO what Overworkcd men
may be asked to do fer them. In the very
thick of the American war there came to lreSi
dent Lincoln an Illinois farmer in great state
of excitement about pair of horses that one
of Lincoln's generals had reQuisitIoned tor the
war.
The owner was OF course entitled to com.
pensa,ion, but somehow ii had not come. Go
ing to the President he told him his story, and
was rather chagriRed to be told that 1t did not
lie with him to pay the money. Then" says
the farmer, will you undertake to write to the
general and sec that the matter is settled prop.
eryg" Poor Lincoln, who never wanted for n
story to help him III an emergency, was ready
for his visitor.
when was rail.spltter," he said, there
lived near us a smart young fellow, the captain
of Mississippi boat, who could steer vessel
over the rapids with wonderful skill, as hardly
any one else could. One day, when he WAS
eraspiug the wheel with the utmost strength,
at the most critical point OF the rapids, little
hoy came running up to him in great excite
ment and said, 'Csp'n, stop your ship, my ap'
pie has fallen overboardn"
In the Life of Sir james Simpson" there
are some curious notices of the extraordinary

prescription which he had given him some
years before, when the doctor could hardly re.

Others would ask HIM 10 go to Duncan "

medicine.
A very busy clergyman Of our acquaintance
when over head and ears with many things,
once got letter from a stranger in the United
States explaining that more than century
ago some ono of the name of C owned a
property near Edinburgh which was believed
to have been destined by will in u particular
way so that the relatives in America thought
they had some claim to it. He was requested
to inquire into the matter find ont about the
will, communicate with the present owners OF
the property, and put everything in train for n
just settlement of the claim. 1t would have
been reasonable for the writer 10 have enclosed
