WITHOUT A MURMUR.

In the final sitting Lincoln removed his
cont, waistcoat, and upper undertaking,
and stood without a murmur for an hour or
more while tho sculptor modelled his breast
and shoulders. Ho dressed again so hastily
us not to complete his toilet, and after de-
rarture had to return and do it all over
again. He was absent minded. In that re-
spcct Mr.. Volk found him like Douglas. On
one occasion when i'll Washington with the
sculptor Douglas had to go back to his house,
t. the senate, and to the bank at different
times, while endeavoring to reach q station
in time to take Il train, having forgotten at
the one place his p~ortmanteau, at another
money, and failed at the third to sign
checks he had given in payment of ac-
cunts. 1t was i'll Lincoln's home in Spring
field that the Sunday after his nomination
for the presidency Mr.. Volk took the casts
of his hands. Desiring that he should hold
something III one of them, the nominee for
president of the United States went to his
little woodShcd, took the saw that was
used in preparing the firewood, and cut
off q piece of broom handle, returning
whiting its end with a knife. While tho
plaster was dryiA, on the hand clasping the
bit of broomstick Mr.. Volk detected on the
thumb of the left u scar. "You nave heard
IG Guilcu u Aol sliieICi, s0lu 1IAAiSoii.
"NNcll, one day while sharpening u wedge on
IL log the AK glanced off and nearly took the
end of my thumb off. That's the scar"
How little Lincoln was known in the east,
even after nominated for president, is shown
by Mr.. Volk's experience with photographs
of him. A western photographer asked Nh.
Volk to take LOCO or moro of his Lincolus
east and distribute them among dealers, cs-
tablishinr agencies Mt different points fer
their sale. Not one dealer would take any
risk OH them. "Tho subject was too homely
to SELL" A Broadway proprietor indig-
nantly refused to permit one to be placed In
his store. The western photographer never
afterward received an order from any dealer
with whom tho pictures were left on sale,
nor n cent for the 1000 thus given away. An
Oshkosh Republican who saw the cabinet
bust of Lincoln in Mr.. Volk's studio ex-
claimed: "He's too homely to buy, but I'll
veto for him all the same. "-Chicago Tribune.

Inherited
Diseases.

In the realm Of disease the facts OF IN
herltance are most numerous and are daily
accommodating. Here, alas, they become ter
rible, fateful and overwhelming. No fact OF
nature Is more pregnant with awful mean
ing than the fact Of the inheritance OF
disease. Il meets the physician on his daily
rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him
with dismay. The legend Of the ancient
Greeks pictures tho Furics as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. The Furies still
ply their work OF terror and death. but they
are not now clothed In the garb OF snpersti-
ton. but appear In the more Ineligible but
no less awful form Of hereditary disease.
Modern science. which has Illuminated so
many dark corners OF nature, has shed a
new light on the ominous words oil the
Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers shall be
visited upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation" Instances OF hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent. OF cases OF
consumption, that fearful destroyer OF faml'
lies. Of cancer and scrofula, run In families
through inheritance. Insanity Is hereditary
in a marked degree. but. fortunately, like
many other hereditary diseases, tends to
wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct.
A distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture Of the body Is exempt from
the chance Of being the subject of hereditary
disease" Probably more chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
and functions Of the body, are more or less
liable to be inherited. Thu important and
farreaching practical deductions from such
facts-affccting so powerfully the happiness
Of individuals and families and the collective
welfare OF the nation-are obvious TO refiec.
ting minds, and the best means for prevent
ing or curing these diseases Is n subject OF
intense interest TO all. Fortunately nature
has provided a remedy. which experience
has attested as infallIble. and the remedy Is

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet y style Of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in a hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns of
verbiage and stuff. The DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result of such a
condition of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago daiies
combined.
"ln considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal q jour-
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction Of its
managers that the cheap paper" should be cheap
only in price that its news should be as fresh and
complete. its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price.

latter throws away in useless and unasked for
size, that not only is of no worth to the reader,
but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him
TO CLEAN what is Of real news interest from a mass
Of vcrbiage and worthless application.
at is because its managers have been wise
enough to practically recognize these essential
elements of the best American journalism of to-
day that THE DAILY News is the best and most
