one of Abe. Lincoln's anecdotes. In
the trial Of certain lawsuit in which
Lincoln appeared as counsel, he was
violently abused and even grossly in
suited by his opponent a petty Jogging
lawyer, to all of which Lincoln made
no reply. At the close of the trial
some of Lincoln's friends asked him
why he did not take the fellow and
give him good shaking. Lincoln said
in reply that his opponent reminded
him of little dog once owned by his
father. Whenever there was a bright
night this dog would bark
and howl at the moon for hours at a
time, and would repeat the same per-
Torrance for several nights in success
sion, almost tearing himself in pieces
with the violence of his passion. Here
Mr.. Lincoln paused. After waiting a
time his friends inquired, "What then
Mr.. Lincoln" Oh nothing" replied he,
''the moon kept right along the same
as usual"

Such step on his part has, Of course,
been anticipated for long time, bu1 no
definite assertion had previously been

puzzle 10 the public. It was known that
while he was an enthusiastic supporter
of his wifes amateur ambitions he was

Indeed, he invoked the power-and It is
no uncomfortable one-of his entire
family. including its bishops and other
digni,aries, TO dissuade her from this
step,
But after she had taken it he stood by
her, and while evidently anxious to dis
courage her and induce her to relinquish
her theatrical schemes he did not permit
any criticisms Of her b. be made IN his
presence and gave her very valuable
countensnce by continuing on friendly
terms. He could not make up mis- mind
10 abandon her while she was still poor
and making fruitess Efforts But

claily it has been great success. and

nDon the stlCe. Her husband feels that
she no longer needs him to stand by her.
She has money of her own and can do
without him. aud ali possibility Of her
eventually abandoning her career and
returning TO him is at an end.
This puts him IN a very different posi-
ton, not IN the ewes OF the world, per
haps, but in his own, and the chiyalrous
feelings which prompted him to stand
by her as long rs she was unsuccessful
have no longer a rUjsOa detfe. 30, I'M
der the circumstances, l can very well
understand his deciding upon a divorce.
This is rather new view to take upon
Mr. Potters attitude, bnt If 1t Is true
one it is greatly to his credit. and 1t
really seems to explain theapparent con
traditions Of his conduct. 1t is said
tnat the plea for divorce will be made on
the ground OF desertion and incompata-
bility and there will be no defence made,
the divorce being allowed to go by de-
fault.
