Two literary characteristics OF Willis
attract our attention. One is his ab
florence OF private letter writing; the
other his extraordinary care to have his
copy exact and. his intolerance of
printers errors or any correction by
others AS to the first aversion he de-
clared to Edgar Allan Poo that private
letters are the last ounce that breaks
the camel's back of @ literary man.
And he once answered friend who
proposed O correspondence with him,
that ito ask him to write letter after
his days work was like asking n penny
postman to take walk in the evening
for the pleasure Of it. "
AS to tho second trait, 1t appears
from the testimony of Poe, Parton,
Phillips and others who were his asso-
ciates on The Mirror and The Home
journal, that the easy, racy flow of his
style was really the result OF laborious
pains His manuscript was full Of era
on an average, one line out OF every three.

Once, his journalistic partner, Gen.
Morris, yentured to make slight alter
alton in the wording Of paragraph.
Willis got angry and wrote; 81 would

Mr.. Phillips says that
this was the only misunderstanding
that ever occurred between Morris and
Willis in their long business connection,

angry note, but wrote on the back of it

Tho Sandai-wood OF Japan.


Passing by a shop you sec cords of wood
cut into small blocks about six inches
long. This you learn is nothing short
of shoe-timber. These cords OF wood
will speedily DO converted into shoes of
various sizes, at prices ranging all the
way from to 90 cents One feels quite
exalted in pair of 20 cent shoes. The
wood is called kiri, and is very light.
The clogs are still further lightened by
following out the center. SO, in point
of fact, there is little truth in calling
the shoes heavy, although they appear
30 to the inexperienced observer. 1t
must he admitted, though, that they are
unreasonably clumsy. Sometimes the
shoes worn by the ladies are lacqucred,
and are fastened by velvet band pass
ing from either side over tho lower part
of the instcp, and between the first and
second toes With this same kind of
wood is made bureaus provided with
strong iron handles. and the whole box

Abraham Lincoln.
lnou. na.lo. D..

President Lincoln, reared in the lar
of poverty, was very economical. When
he came to Washington he had
saved from his professional earnings
go, 900, and he did not owe dime.
During his presidential term he saved
from his salary of $4,000 per year
$50, 900, which Henry d. Cook invested
for min. in government securities. He
was not slovenly man. but he bought
cheap clothes, and cared little whether
they fitted him or not. After he came
TO Washington, Mrs. Lincoln used to see
that he was always presentable, but he
often rebelled and regarded white kid
gloves rs an unmitigated nuisance.
While clothes were to Mr.. Lincoln
only something to cover him up, he
only ate because 1T was duty and did
not know what was good to eat any
moro than he did what was good to
wear. He mover drank intoxicating
liquors or used tobacco in any form.
Neither did ho know how to play any
game respectively we'll His Illinois
friends said that it was as good rs
circus To see him play game of bill
iards While he occasionally told
stories which were "off color" no one
ever charged him with an immoral act,
and tho most accomplished sirens of the
capital failed in their attempts to be-
guile him.

The annoyances peculiar to new

as far as the Fort Worth Elec-

and our home people who own the patent
and operate II can now point with pride
to the fact that the works are running to
the full capacity Of their two dynamos and
the eighty-fve lights are giving en-
tire satisfaction.
The company, at considerable monthly
expense, has employed an electrician, Mr..
w. Z. Hyland, who arrived here from
Chicago Friday and took charge OF
the works yesterday. The railroad
companies have made application for
seven or eight lights, which will proba-
bly, be put in as soon as the matter Is de-
cided on by the officials of the road.
When this Is done another forty
light dynamo will have TO
be put in, making the capacity OF the
works 100 lights. There Is demand
among the people to have our city lighted
by the tower system, and the company

that kind. 1t Is proposed to
