The Home of Lincoln.


To tho country at large Springfield is
distinguished as the home of Abraham
Lincoln to an extent perhaps not fully
realized by the residents of the growing
capital, with its ever new interests. And
was perhaps unreasonably disappointed
in not finding that sense of his person
ality that | expected. 1t Is, indeed, en-
phasized by statues in the Capitol aud
by the great mausolsum In the cemetery
an im posing structure. with an excel
lent statue in bronze, and four groups, re
lating to the Civil War, of uncommon
merit. But this great monumental show
does not satisfy the personal longing of
which speak. Nor is the Lincoln resi-
dencs much more satisfactory III this
respect. The plain two-story wooden
house las been presented to tho State by
his con Robert, and Is IN charge of q
custodian. And although the parlor is
a showroom and full of memorials, there
is no atnos phere of the man about it. On
Lincoln's departure for Washington the
furniture was sold and the house rented,
never to be ain occup pied by him. There
Ia here nothing of the personal presence
that olings to the Hermitage, to Marsh
field, to Mount Vernon, TO Monticello,
Lincoln was given to the nation and-a
frequent occurrence in our uprooting
business life-the house disappeared
Lincoln was honored and beloved in
Springfield IS man, but perhaps some
of the feeling toward him as a party lead
or still fingers, although it has disappear
ed almost every where else in the country
Nowhere else was the personal psrtisan
ship hotter than in this city and 1t Is nard
ly to be expected that political foes IN
| in this generation should quite compre
hend the elevatiun of Lincoln, in the con
senting opinion of the world, among the
greatest characters of all ages. It ha'
| happened TO Lincoln that every year anc
| a more intimate knowledge of his char
acter have added to his fame and to th'
| appreciation of his moral grandeur
There 10 a natural desire to go to some
spot pre-eminently sacred of his person
atty. This may be his birthplace. A
any rate, il ID likely that before man.
years Kentucky will be proud to distin
guish in some way the spot where tn
life began OF the most ilIustrious maj
born in it's borders.

How One Woman Made a Fortune.
NnVy Sarly prnDu


A we'll known New York real estate man
has a mother who has made fortune by
her own shrewdness. Yet every one who
has contributed to her accumulation
thinks her public bencfactor. 1t ia
well known fact that that people who ac-
cummulate riches in New York desire
nothing more ardentiy than q beautiful
and artistically furnished home. Mrs.
- discovered this, and, having artistic
tastes, set to work investing in houses in
the fashionable up town thoroughfares.
Then she went abroad, and picked up in
teresting brio a-brac and works of art,
and when she had completed her pur
chases she returned, furnished the houses
from cellar to garret, and advertised
them for sale. Her excellent taste soon
brought customers, and in little while
she disposed of many buildings, with
their furniture and all, at a comfortable
profit. Her fortune made in this
way, ia estimated at between S250,000 and
$500, 900, and the purchasers of her prop.
erty are happy, because their friends
visit them and congratulate them on the
excellent and artistic way il which they
have furnished their residences. The
visitors are never informed that the house
was bought furnished.

How Dealers In Beer Get Rich,

A small boy living at East Buffalo is
getting rich, and he isn't working very
hard either. Consequently he is an OBJ
ject of envy to all VINO know him or have
Eeard of his good fortune. That is quite
natural, for if there is one thing more
than another that people in this world
are after, il Is money and plenty of it,
without work. This youth makes his
money carrying beer for the men in one
of the big shops at East Buffalo. Whether
he works there himself or not the Ex-
prsssionist doesn'r know, but out of his
beer carrying business last month he
managed to make $15, and now he weara
a silver watch. He gets q commission in
this way: Beer out there costs fofr cent?
pint. The men give him pail an
five cents for pint of beer, the extr
penny is his pay. That boy carried 1,5O~
pints in those thirty days, 750 quarts,
ls6L gallons, etc. The man who is in
tsrested in figures can go on and esti
mate the number of pounds the boy car
ried, how much shoe leather ie wore out,
how many glasses of beer were drank in
this shop, how much time was lost in
drinking it, and infnitum.

Wolves Trained BY Dogs.

Ensign Howard of the navy gives new
proof of the crossing of wolves and dogs.
He says in his account of Arctic Alaska,
that the natives keep all youug wolves
that they can catch aud train them rs
dogs for teams. Dogs and wolves are
reared together. The dogs, he say. are
more than half wolf, and have the charac
teristies of those animals. They are
without affection. but obey their master
through fear. One dog In each team
makes himself master and overseer. IL
any dog shirks he will punish him. Ii
he cannot get at him while IN harness, he
will not forget to give him chastisemenU
when released at night. They are capa-
BILE of enormous endurance, like wild
wolves, and can fast and work long
time. Our dogs are unquestionabIy IN
part OF wolf lineage.

A Battle of Birds.

The Frankfurter Zeitung has letter
from Sofia describing a battle of birds of
the Homeric order. Early one morning
an unusually large number of eagles,
probably about 200, were seen taking
their flight toward the mountains of the
Jantra. crowd of persona watched the
spectacle. A few hours later number of
storks, not fewer than 800, flew straight
toward the regiment of eagles, evidently
bent on war. In an instant eagles and
storks mingled in deadly affray. 1t was
a fearful combat. Every now and then a
wounded or dead bird, stork or eagle, fell
to the ground. The battle lasted nearly
an hour, when the two armies, apparently
weary of fight, flew off in opposite dir
ections. Upon rough reckoning it was
estimated that at least third of the com
ba.ants fell in the severe strnvgle.

Prices of Wild Animals.

A reporter for a daily spaper has recent
ly looked up the prices of wild beasts aud
birds in the showmau's market. He
learned that well-trained elephant will
bring from $4,000 to $4,000, though in
Ceylo the beast just captured cost per
haps $1,000. The reporter was shown five
elephants whose aggregate cost was $780,
900. y fine lioness" cost S65,O00, while
male lions cost from $1,000 to $4,000.
Tigers cost from $500 all the way up to
$4,000. The difficulty OF catching tigers
keeps the prices up" then they fret and
die in captivity, while the king of beasts,
the lion, endures and enjoys slavery. A
good trick bear will cost $500, but an
ordinary show bear costs $3.50. Leopards
are valued from Sl,0Oe to $4,000. The
giraffe il delicate aud sensitive creature,
and nc one ever lived longer than two
years in captivity. 1T is difficult to
teach them to put their heads down to eat
and drink" They are worth from $4,000
to $4,000. Canels are cheap; from $500
TO $4,000. The hippopotam used to
cost $4,000, but ne is now cheaper; how
much cheaper, the Snowman did not say.
Monkeys cost S25; but "any Snowman
would give $4,000 for Il live gorilla-so
there is some use in rising i a the scale OF
being" A large ostrich will bring from
+ | 900 to $4,000. The Snowman paused
to say that the ostrich Ia short,lived and
vicious bird, and worries himself to death.
Alaska seals were declared TO be worth
| from 81 600 TO $4,000. Snakes cost as
much as 1000 each in some cases. The
| Snowman estimated that there were
| $4,000, 900 worth of wild animals owned
| in this country.

The Term Creole Applied TO Persons Born
Near the Tropics

Inc lefm Ireoie Appiieu 10 PERSONS Born
Near the Tropics.
Creole Is corruption of the Spanish
word criollo, which signifies one born in
America or the West Indies of European
ancestors. In this sense all the native
white people of the United States might
be called creoles. But the word in it's
English form has undergone both
limitation and an extension. 1t is limited
to persons born within or near the
tropics. and is made to include persons
of all colors. Thus the term creole negro
is employed in the English West Indies
to distinguish the negroes born there
from the Africans imported during the
time of the slave trade. This applica-
tion OF the term to the colored people
has led TO an idea common in some parts
of the United States, though wholly un
founded, that it implies an admixture,
greater or less, of African blood.

life and If you wish | will tell one that
hare never seen in print. There was

numbers or country folks were there to
vote. In the forenoon, however, a gang
of roughs, who were intoxicated, declared
that no one should vote uriess they said
SO. For an hour the. kept the polls
closed, when Abe, becoming exaspsrated,
ran to hardware store near by, grabbed
