A New story OF LIncoln.s

President Lincoln is quoted bv
Charles Gibson, of st. Louis, as tell
ing story illustrating Thomas III.
Benton's turn for the draraa. Ben.
ton and jackson had long been at
feud, and had not met for many
years until jackson was President
and Benton Senator from Missouri.
1T was in this room," said Prssi-
dent Lincoln, at the White House.
that their first meeting took place
Jackson was seated at this very
table. when the door yonder swung
open and Benton stalked in and
stood silently in the middle Of the
floor. Jackson looked up and rec
ognized him at once, and recollec-
ted at the same time that he had no
weapon to defend himself. Equal
ly silently he got up, walked to the
door, locked it, put the key in his
pocket and went back to his seat.
Then he said, Does this mean war
or peace p 1T means peace said
Benton. Jackson again rose, went
to the door, unlocked il, came back
to his seat, and then said, Col. Ben
ton, am pleased to see you. Take
q chair All this time Benton was
standing statuesquely in the center
OF the room, never moving a muscle
while jackson was locking and un-
locking the door, and the reconcil-
Iation between the two gentlemen
was complete.

Railroad NOlcs.

The Lauderdale News, published
at Florence, Ala, in speaking of
the building of the Indiana, Ala
bama & Texas railroad touches up
certain class of citizens. which
unfortunately are numerous in
many communities, in the follow
ing truthful and plain-spoken lam
guage:
Some people say that the bull
ing of a railroad through our town
will ruin it. This kind of argument
is only a subterfuge to keep from
subscribing to it. No man of any
information on the subject would
make such an assertion. The man
who does so only exhibits his igno-
rance, or is seeking a place to dodge
behind to keep from doing his part
as citizen and patriot. A railroad
never injured any place yet, and if
places on the railroads have not
grown it was not because of the rail-
road, but because there were too
many crOakerS in it, men without
enterprise, mere snails, who live in
theirshellsand carry ali their wealth
on their backs. The whole history
of the country contradicts such an
assertion. Everywhere all over the
country, wherever there are rail-
roads and the people are at all enter
prising, towns, cities and villages,
as well as the whole country, are
benefited and prosperity abounds.
Away with such foolishness, the
man who talks in that way only
proves himself to be an old fOgy of
the antedeluvian age.
Here's another bit of solid truth
from the same source:
The man who has hundred acres
of timbered land near the route of
the proposed railroad, can well af-
ford to give half of it to secure the
building of the road. The other
half would be worth to him times
as much as the whole of it is now
worth, for the cross ties alone. They
are now worth 80 cents each and in
a few years will be worth double as
much.

The SIN OF FrettIng.

There is one sin which seems to
me is everywhere and by everybody
under estimated, and quite to much
overlooked In valuation of character.
1t is the sin of fretting. 1t is as com
mon as air, as speech so common
that unless it rises above its usual
monotone we do not even observe
it. Watch any ordinary coming to-
gether OF people, and see how many
minutes it will be before somebody
frets T; that is, makes a more or less
complaining statement of something
or other, which, most probably,
everyone in the room, or stage, or
the street car, or the street corner,
as it may be, knew before, and
which most probably nobody can
help. Why say any thing about It?
1t is cold, it is hot, dry somebody
has broken an appointment, ill
cooked meal stupidity or bad
faith somewhere has resulted in dis
comfort. There are always plenty
of things TO fret about. IL Is simply
astonishing how much annoyance
and discomfort may be found In the
course of every days living, even
AT tne SllhpieSt' III one Ouly keeps u
sharp eye out on that side Of things.
Even Holy Writ says we are born
to trouble as sparks fly upward.
But even to the sparks flying up
ward, in the blacklist OF smoke,
there is blue sky above, and the
less time they watse on the road the
sooner they will reach it. Fret
ting is all time wasted on the road,

The Mistake Of N nIrht.

1t Is related of an absent minded
young lady that, having been duly
married, she started off on her bril-
dial tour. The party stopped at a
Western city. So far so good. Some
time in the night there come sue
cession of terrified shrieks from the
room occupied by the bride and
groom, and the clerks, porters and
employees generally rushed up the
stairs, only to meet a frantic female
figure, clad In white, fleeing In
desperate haste from her apartment,
crying:
"Oh, there's man in my room 2"
The clerk rushed in and found
the groom half disrobed standing in
the middle of the floor, one boot on,
the other in his hand, the picture OF
amaZement. He explained that he
had just come up stair and was i'm

previously retired) wtien she sud-
denly awoke with shrek and
fed.
"What is the matter ." asked the
clerk.
'Damtino," said the husband.
Just then the bride, envelOped In
a huge bed-spread procured for her
by chambermaid, came back,
looking very red and foolish, and
in half minute she explained the
mystery by eXclaiming:
"Oh, Fred, forgot / was mar
ried, and when awoke / was so
frightened"

knowledge the Girls should Gain

By all means let the girls learn
how to cook. What right has girl
to marry and go into Il house of her
own unless she knows how to super
intend every branch of housekeeping
and she cannot properly superintend
unlessshe hassome practical knOwl-
edge herself. Most men marry
without thinking whether the wO-
man of his choice is capable of cook
ing a meal, and it is pity he is so
shortsighted, as his health, his cheer
fulness, and indeed his success in
life depend in very great degree
upOnd the kind of fool he eats in
fact the whole household is infiu-
enced by their diet. Feed them on
fried cakes, fried meats, hot bread
and other indigestible viands, day
after day, and they will need medi-
cine to make them well. A man
will take alcohol to counteract the
evil Effects OF such food, and the
wife and children must be phys
icked.
Let all the girls have share in the
housekeeping at home before they
marry; let each superintend some
department by turns. 1t need not
occupy half the time to see that the
house has been properly swept,
busted and put in order, or to pre-
pare puddings and make dishes, that
many young ladies spend in read
ing novels that enervate both mind
and body and unfit them for every
day life. Women do not,, as gem
eral rule, get pale faces by dong
homework. There sedentary habits,
in overheated rooms, combined with
ill-chosen food, are to blame for bad
health. Our mothers used to pride
themselves on their housekeeping
and fine needlework. Why should
not we?

the statement that you ''couId not

especially since you state that you
have already three of the latter and
have passed large majority of
your young existence in Ryan
Sullivan contest with them over a

1 sail s'eep wIv Him Tonight.
Detroit Chaff.


Sometimes / believe the little
ones say the best things after ell.
knew a little family in Detroit
who are heart broken and sad this
Saturday night. There were three
last Saturday, but to-day only two
are left. The tie that bound them
more closely than that which the
clergyman drew has lately been
loOSened, and the light of their lives
went out with the red winter sun
only the other night. The father is
railroad man, whose duties call
him away from home nearly three
fourths of the time. II was his
habit, whenever he was about TO
start for home, to telegraph his wife
apprising her of the fact. In these
kilograms he never failed to men,
ton the name of the little four year
old, and the dispatches usually ran
as follows:
"Tell Arthur l shall sleep with
him tonight"
The baby-boy was very proud of
these telegrams, which his mother
would read over to him, and he
considered the "teledraf" a great
Institution. The other night, when
the fever had done its work and the
mother was sobbing out her anguish,
the little one turned calmly in his
bed and said:
"Don't ky, mamma; / sail s'eep
wiv bod, 'oo know. Send bod a
teledraf and tell Him i sail s'eep
wiv Him tonight"
But the message went straight up
there without the clinking of wires
or the rustic Of wings.

Mark Twain and the Lady Passen-

Mark Twain says: I got into the
cars and took a seat in juxtapositiOn
to a female. That females face
was perfect insurance company
it insured her against ever getting
married to anybody but a blind
man. Her mouth looked like a
crack in a dried lemon, and there
was no more expression in her face
than there is in cup of cold custard.
She appeared as though she had
been through one famine and had
got about tWo-thirds through anoth-
er. She was old enough to be great
grandmother to Mary that had the
little lamb. She was chewing prize
popcorn, and carried a yellow rose,
while handbook and cotton UNI
brella nestled sweetly by her side.
L couldn't guess whether she was on
q mission of charity or going West
to start a sawmill. l was full of
curiosity To hear her speak. So /
said:

quire great circumspection in per-
son who is travelling"
Says she, "What?"
Says ], "The orb of day shines re-
splendent in the vault above"
She hitched around uneasy like !;
then she raised her umbrella and
said, "I don't want any of your sass
get out!"
And L got out.
