ABRAHAM LINCOLN IN CON
GRESS.
HIS SPEECH UPON MILITARY COAT
TAILs-AN AMUSING "REMINISCENCES.

In December, 1917, Abraham
Lincoln took his seat in Congress
as Representative from the State
Of Illinois. 1t was not long before
he became great favorite with
the members and officers of the
House, for his genial manners,
pleasant voice, and ready wit gave
him a magnetic influence on all
who came within his social sphere.
He possessed but few personal at
fractions, his figure being tall and
ungainly; but these deficiencies
were amply compensated for by
his many shining qualities Of mind
and heart. He was fluent and
ready speaker, and his speech
es were remarkable for their direct
ness apd precision, although lack
ing in rhetorical grace and finish.
He possessed a rich and inexhaus-
tible fund Of wit and humor, to
which he gave expression in anec-
dotes and quaint observations
which it was pleasant to listen to.
HIS APPEARANCE ON THE FLOOR.
Whenever he obtained the floor
to speak, the House gave him its
undivided attention, and never fail
ed to greet his sallies of wit and
quick repartees with laughter and
applause. One Of the most remark,
able of his speeches during his
first and only term in Congress
was delivered in July, 1913, in re-
ply to one made a few days before
by Mr.. Iverson, Of Georgia. The
subject Of Mr.. Lincoln's speech was
military Coat-tails.'' In the
speech of Mr.. Iverson, that gentle
man accused the Wing party of
having deserted all their principles
and taken shelter under the mill
tary coat-tails Of General Zachary
Taylor, the candidate Of the party
for the Presidency. In the course
of his remarks Mr.. Lincoln pro-
ceeded to show that the Democrat
party were amenable to a similar
charge, having for twenty-five years
relied upon the military reputation
Of General jackson for success, he
having been made President out
of it for eight years, while enough
of it remained to make Presidents
Of several comparatively small men
who succeeded him, and still rely
ing upon it for the success of Gen
eral Cass, the nominee of the party
at that time, their campaign papers
everywhere declaring that Cass and
Butler were Of the ''true hickory
stripe"

ChiuRware Christians,

New York Special to Chicago Times.
Henry Ward Beecher, in bis lecture room
talk tonight, said: "If 1 see any person
living a Christian like life in any church or
outside of any church, l rejoice. When
people think of joining the
church they have a sense of
awe. They think the church il ke china

Concerning Newspapers.


The Philadelphia Press prints some inter.

eight columns one hundred and nine were
advertis emen,s. The growth of journal
to such proportions is, of course, q historical
event and excites comment throughout the
entire country. The Philadelphia
Press compares the New York
Herald to the Chicago Times Of April l6,
which contained "a pages OF s columns each,
or 1872 columns in all. "ln addition TO this"
says the Press, "the Times had less than one
half as many advertisements AS the Herald,
and thus contained twice as much read
ing matter" "The mistake both journals
make" adds the Press, sis in one case tla.
people read the newspapers for their
advertisements, and in the second that
