Linc0ln's Economy.
Boston Budget.

President Lincoln, reared in the lap
OF poverty, was very economical,
When he came to Washington he had
saved from his professional earnings
$4,000, and he did not owe dime,
during his presidential term he saved
from his salary of $25, 900 per year
$50, 900, which Henry D. Cook in
vested for hi in government securia
ties. He was not a slovenly man,
but he bought cheap clothes, and
cared little whether they Etted him or
not. After he came to Washington,
Mrs. Lincoln used to see that he was
always presentable, but he often re-
belied, and regarded white kid gloves
as an unmitigated nuisance. q
While clothes were to Mr.. Lincoln
only something to cover him up, he
only ate because it was q duty, and
did not know what was good to eat
any more than ne did what was good
to wear. He never drank Intoxicating
liquors or used tobacco in any form.
Neither did he know how to play any
game respectfully well. His Illinois
friends said that 1t was as good as q.
circus to see him play a game of bill
lizards. While he occasionally told
stories which were ''off color" no one
ever charged him with an immoral
act. and the most accomplished sirens
Of the capital failed in their attempts
to beguile him.

A Timely Warning
LExchange]

Whenever a circus comes to this
city there is usually ala ample illustra-
ton OF the old saying, 1.-The fools are
not all dead yet" It is well known
to everylobserving man that these tim
Grant shows are followed from place to
place by a gang of fakirs, meunte-
backs and petty swindlers, whose sole
mission is to beat every man out of
his money who is green enough to in
vest it in their little game. They
have nothing to do with the show,
and the managers are in no way re-
sponsible for their acts. In fact, pro.
prietors Of great travelling menageries
would be glad to rid themselves of
these rowing rascals if they had the
power to do So The persons really
responsible for the presence OF these
sharps are the idiots who patronizs
them. IF the crop of fools and green
horns were not sc large and so ripe
there would be no reapers in that
field. 1t is possibly waste of words
to warn such people, but we feel it
our duty to do it, though it pass un-
needed. Beal this in mind: Don't
bet a nickel on another mans game"
You may gain in experience by bet
ting, but the sharper is certain to

Boston Record.

A distinguished Boston divine Of
unusually solemn and impressive APP
pearance went to country town not
long ago to lecture. He arrived early
in the afternoon, and all of the town
of course spotted" him within FIVE
minutes, as very great and sanity
man.
He went into drug store, and, in
tones that froze the young blood of
the clerk behind the counter, then
said:

clerk; I'm sorry, but I learned the
habit young, and haven't been able to
quit it yet"
Then" said the great divine, with
out the movement of muscle Or the
abatement of shade of the awful
solemnity of his voice, "can you tell
me where can get good cigar9"

you are sharp enough to beat him at

"Balky horses, you say!" remarked
a laxative passenger; Eyes, I've had
a little experience with them. They
are not easy things to handle. It is
mighty hard work for a man to drive

and gave both up as a bad job. But

Chicago Inter-Oce

81. II. Marsh, of Henry, Col. who
is nov visiting Chicago. speaks very
encouragingly of the agricultural re-
sources of that section. He says that
the San Luis Park is a valley more
level than the prairie portion of Ill
lnois. 1t is $50 miles in length and so
III width. 1t is Ia Southwestern Col
orado, at an altitude of about 1000
feet, and surrounded by mountains
from 1900 to 1000 feet high. Its
soil, he says, is of a rich sandy loam,
and 1t Is one of the best stock regions
of the Rocky Mountain plateau. Mr..
Marsh says that in winter the nights
are cold, the mercury ordinarily fall
Ing to zero at daylight, while nearly
every day Is warm enough to make
outdoor exercise or riding pleasure
able. Every day is one of sunshine.
winter winds are extremely rare. the
air has less than half the saturation of
that of the Atlantic or Pacific States,
all OF which in combination renders
the cold 20 per cent. less appreciate.
Notwithstanding the high altitude of
the valley good crops of all the small
grains are raised, barley sometimes
yielding rs bushels per acre and over.
Wheat, rye, and oats yield from 30 to
40 bushels per acre, peas IS to so, po-
tatoes from 100 to 800, which is unex-
celIed in quality. Hay yields from
to tons per acre and is so per cent.
richer than that of the rainy States.
All the hardy vegetables do extremely
well. Mr.. MARSH says that year ago
the land was nearly all vacant up to
the town site; now it is entered from
six to ten miles out, but beyond this
limit are tens of thousands of acres
awaiting homesteaders and pre- emp
tors. There are many good chances
for business. A dry goods store is
now much needed in Henry. One
railroad is already built, and others are
chartered.

A FaIlacy Exploded.

Ihere IS something at once inspir-
ing and dreadful Ia the intensity with
which these men work, writes a Mex
leo correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal. Where or how the fallacv con-
corning their laziness has gained
ground it is hard to understand.
Whatever they do is done as if saliva
ton depended upon it, and, the exer-
ton demanded where manual labor
takes the place of steam or horse
power is so bitterly hard that it makes
their continuous application the more
wonderful We have yet to see tie
first instance of Sinking or of care
lessness. Slight of frame, small In
stature, with every appearance of
delicacy IN physique, they will take
upon the shoulders as much as FIVE or
SIX men can lift, and carry it an in
definite distance. Under these imm-
ense burdens they trot instead of
walking. To see mozo climbing

ing through the city streets with
Chickering piano Oh their shoulders
are sights to which we are becoming
so well used that familiariaty robs
them Of their first painfulness. These
brave workers are so surprised and
unprepared for either pity or sympa>
thy that we begin to cover both with
the negative quality of indifference.
Still, to look day after day at street
PAYERS and sweepers working as if
fame or fortune depended on dispatch,
porters hurrying under the weight of
their enormous burdens, farm labor
ers blowing, reaping, gathering wood
drawing water hour after hour with
out turn of the head or lifting of an
eyelash for the world outside, upsets
ones preconceived notions and leaves
one In a maze of reflections. This
utter absorption ia his occupation
gives certain dignity to the man;
and one finds here often amid the
most mental surroundings something
of that fac spirit-that inbreathing
Of purpose into action-that makes
Millett's sower a heoric figure. Think
Of the men lifted above these by every
accident of education and fortune,
whom we so often see in the fair
fields, istless, uninterested, careful
only to fill the time of their contract,
and these earnest. eager, constant
labOrers become superb.
