Fault Finding.

We recall a school-mate who began
by suspecting and finding fault with
his fellow students. He was ever on
the lookout for occasions for exercis-
ing his faculty OF satirical criticism.
He who looks for such occasions, finds
them, and my long ago friend deve-
loped a faculty for discovering and
denouncing faults that were preterna-
tural. II became not only habit.
but passion with him. When he was
f>rty the faculty OF fair judgment was
dead In him; he had become incapable
Of justice.

The Cu.hIpg.a

European countries have built large
numbers OF these bouts. Italy has
now about 200; England, 175; France,
100; Russia, 1870; Germany, 100; and
Spain, 20. On this side OF the Allan
tic the Argentine Republic has 10;
Brazil. Is; and Chilli. 10.
or course you wish to know how
many our own nation has Well, we
have ONE. 1t was recently launched,
and il you read the papers you will
no doubt see accounts OF its trials for
>speed. 1t is O big one-a "deep-sea"
boat-.very much like the italian Nib
bio in appearance, but not in any way
designed after that boat. 1t was built
by the Messrs. Herreshoff at Bristol,
X. /. This firm has built some very
fast launches and yachts, and can no
doubt prove equal to the best foreign
builders in constructing torpedo boats
should others be demanded.
Our torpedo boat is named the
Cushing, after famous naval officer
who during tho rebellion sank con-
federate ironclad with torpedo
rugged out on spar projecting from
steam launch. Torpedo boats are
not always named. 1t is the custom
OF foreign countries to give names
only to their 'deep-sea" torpedo
boats. The smaller ones are simply
numbered.
know you are wondering why we
have only one torpedo boat and would
like to ask me IL we don't need more.
Perhaps we do. The United States
has a longer sea-coast and more i'm
portant seaports than any other coun-
try; but the United States is deliberate
and thoughtful.
The present secretary Of the navy
has asked congress to appropriate
money for five torpedo boats in addi-
ton to the Cushing, and no doubt sue
cessful trials OF these will bring about
the immediate building OF many more.

Tennessee In 1912, in what vas then
Overton county. He came TO Illinois
In 1890 with his parents. who settled
near old Salem. He met Abraham
Lincoln soon after that awkward young
man landed from the fatboat which
hoated down the Sangamon 70 Salem
on the high water following the "deep
snow" OF 1881. He was intimately as
sociated with Lincoln ever afterward.
lie says OF him: II thought the first
time ever met Abe Lincoln that he
was the greatest man living, and ! am
thankful lived long enough TO know
/ was right"
He was Lincoln's partner In the gro
Gerry at Salem. and at night, when
customers were few. he held the gram
mar while Lincoln recited his lessons.
To his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story of his love for sweet Ann
Rutlidge. He saw the happy pair
strolling through the woods about old
Salem, or boating on the river, or lin
gering long over the bucket OF water
which Lincoln drew from the we'll for
Ann. He offered what comfort he
could to his friend when poor Ann
died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly
broke.
After Ann died." says Uncle Billy.
ION stormy nights. when the wind
blew the rain against the roof, Abe
would set thar in the grocery, his ell
bows on his knees. his face in his
hands, an tears runnin' through his
fingers. I hated to see him feel SO bad,
an I'd say: Abe, don't cry;' an he'd
look up an say: i can't help 1t, Bill;
the rains fallin' on her."
Green saw his friend rise In great
ness and favor with the people until
he was elected President of the Nation.
At Lincoln's first inaugural banquet
Green sat at the table on the Presi-
dents left. with the digniHed Secretary
Seward on his right. Lincoln pre-
scented the two men to each other. say
ing, Secretary Seward, this is Mr..
Green OF Illinois," Seward bowed
stifiy, when Lincoln exclaimed: "Oh,
get up. Seward. and shake hands with
Green. He's the man who taught me
my grammar.

Where Gen. Grant Died.

While at Mount McGregor l visited
the Grant cottage. 1t is in the same
condition now as 1t was when Grant
died. The same furniture stands In
the same places, and the tallow candle
half burned down to the socket stands
on the table, besides the two great
armchairs in which he breathed away
his last hours. Pieces OF his last
writing, consisting Of slips from his
pad, are shown, and there Is tall,
fne-looking soldier in uniform who
sleeps in the cottage and takes care
OF the relics. There are. on the
average, about 1900 visitors year
now, and many pathetic incidents
occur. Nearly every one that comes
wants TO take away some memento OF
the place. and many pick up the
gravel OF the walk around the house.
supposing they are carrying of stones
trodden by the foot OF Grant.
The truth Is that this gravel has TO
be renewed every month on account OF
these relic hunters, and the stones
they carry away have never seen
Grant. Mr.. Arkell, who owns the
mountain, tells me he was offered
eS5. 900 for the cottage, and that the
men who offered this were western
men, who said they wanted to cut up
the cottage and sell 1t for relics. The
probability is that they would have
taken II to pieces, have carried It of
to Chicago and shown 1t there at the
