Lincoln's Long Memory.
From Me Nelc York .Hernld.

Those who knew Abraham Lincoln best
knew that he could take as well as give in the
matter of joke. In the spring of 1919 he left
Springfield, ILL.,, for Washington by stage, to
accept the commissionerslip of the general
land office. In the stage were T omas Fl.
Nelson of Terre Haute, afterward minister to
Chill, and Abram Hammond, afterward gov
ernOr of Indiana. They found Lincoln asleep
alone, with his long, lank form stretched across
all the seats. After slap on the back he sat
up, and they inventoried an individual dressed
in a worn and i'll fitting suit of bombazlne,
without vest or cravat, and palm leaf hat on
the back of his head. Here was a subject an 4
the pair proceeded TO perpetrate several jokes.
Lincoln took them with the utmost innocence
and good nature and Joined in the laugh,
although at his own expense. When they
stopped for dinner the conversation turned on
the new comet of that year, and at the table,
with the % cent palm leaf under his arm, Lin
coin asked: What is going TO be the upshot of
this comet business?" Nelson replied that he
was inclined to the opinion that the word
would follow the darned thing off" The three
did not meet again for years-not until Lincoln
arrived in Indianapolis on his way to Washing

Patronage and Doodle.

The impression appears to be gaining
ground in Washington that the admins
tration is liquidating its obligations to those
who contributed to the campaign fund in
the last national election by giving them,
or their friends, offices, 1t is very much to
be regretted, if there is any foundation for
this Impression, because, as a general thing,
those who are willing to corrupt voters are
not the kind of men TO be entrusted with the
administration of responsible Offices 1t is
not believed, however. that Mr.. Wanna
maker would have been appointed Post
master General if he had not been instru-
mental in raising a campaign fund of
800 600, and it has been stated that the
president of the Pullman Car Company was
permitted to select friend of his for one of
the most important offices in Illinois, be-
cause he helpei to raise a campaign fund of
$4,000 for use in the doubtful state of
Indiana.
1t is now rumored that ex-Gov. War
moth was nominated for collector Of the
port of New Orleans in payment for his sue
cess in getting a lottery company to make a
large contribution to the na -ional republic
can campaign fund. There may be no
truth in this rumor. 1t is understood,
however, tn 1t it was given currency by tle
republican leaders of louisiana who are
trying to prevent Warmo5h's nomination
from being confirmed. The responsibility
for Wdrmoth's nomination is placed upoa
Col. Dudley and Assistant PJstmaster
General Clarkson. They k low all about
the means that were used to secure thu sue
cess of the republican party in the last M
tional campaign, and if the Senate inveiti-
gates the charge against Warm 9TH, Mess
Dudley and Clarkson ought to be called as
witnesses.
The charge that the administration is
paying its DO IDLE debts with p afro laga /, a
serious one. 1t is charge that the Presi-
dent aud his official advisers can hardly
afford to ignore. 1t is assuming the pro-
portions of great political SC lndal, aad if
the President don't want to figure in history
as having used his position t. relieve him
self of obligations which Doodle contribu-
tors placed him under he will not be slo " in
trying to m Ike it appear that his appoint
ments have no relation to camp lign Doodle.

Love and Rain.

John Gerald Brennan in Pittsburg Dispatch.
The rain was beating rataplan.
Drop-drop-in the street;
And all the way not a woman or man
Or even a copper on beat,
But he and |, in friendly door,
Were having fre dly chat;
We never had met in our lives before,
But little we rocked of that
The rain swept down like lancers' charge,
SwiSh-Swlsh-in the mire;
There was water enough to float a barge,
And never a cab to hire
But he was excessively kind, you know,
And civilly tried to explain
How the wind-or something would come anC
blow
The rain to the clouds again.
The ram was sounding slow recall,
Drip-drip-in the food,
When he mufiled me up in my fieecy shawl
And guided me through the mud.
That shower has blown by for many a day,
But in fancy it drenches me yet;
And just for the sake of old times we say
That our wedding day, too, shall be wet.

was before his election for governor five years
ago and while be was a candidate for the nomi-

fine Havanas from under the counter and
opened it to serve them.
What are these?" asked the governor.

But how much are they:n he persisted in
asking, an the man at the counter replied:
-Four for ST."
LOOK of something like holy horror stole
over Uncle Dicks face as he put up his hand
with deprecating motion and gasped out half
tragically; Put EN- back; put EN- right back
Why, if they knew out in Ilinoy that / smoked
a twenty-five cent cigar it would ruin me 50

one Fact Overlooked.

In all Of the discussion in tn newspapers
aud in congress Of the race problem, one
fact has escaped attention, a1d that IS that
nowhere else in the world are there people,
occupying a similar position, VINO have 50
many Of tae comforts OF Life with so little
exerti0n a the backs Of the south. They
are not Woodworking people, and they
don't know what poverty is, as the miners
Of Pennsylvania or factory hands in some
of the New England towns know it. In the
towns and on the plantations there are pOr-
tons of the year whel they work steadily,
but, except in the busy seasons, they have
great deal Of leisure Tina Indeed, as
a rule. they WORK only when they feel dis
posed to do 50, aud yet they have plenty TO
eat and all the clothes they need. In the
coast counties a very considerable portion
Of them get their living by hunting and
fishing, doing a days work now and then
when they want money for tobacco and
groceries. In the towns the kitchens Of the
rich and well-to-do whites furnish the sup
plies for many black families.
There is no other working people that has
so many holidays as the black people. \
quitting work for day OF two TO go on an
excursion. or to a religious meeting of some
sort. They believe in enjoying themselves,
and they general shave money for frolc
They have very few cares, and conse-
quently they are strangers to the troubles
and worries of people who have greater
responsibilities. When they are sick the
doctors attend them without much expecta-
ton Of compensation, and the whites assist
them. Schools are provided for their chill
drea, for the support of which they con-
tribute little or nothing. They nave their
religious organizations and societies of one
kind and another. and by them the social
side or their nature is largely satisfied.
Nowhere In the south do the blacks COM
plain of finding it difficult to make living.
II they worked as hard as the whites, and
as steadily, and saved their earnings. they
would soon accumulate a great deal of
money and many of them would
become farmers and business men.
With here and there an exception,
however, they spend their earnin IS as soon
as they get them, aud they earn only enough
to satisfy their immediate wants.
Their condition IA comparisoc nth that
of the wage-earners of any other part of
this, or Of any other, country is a happy
one. If let alone by the agitators of their
race, and the Politicians vino want the
benefit of their votes, they would seldom or
never have any complaint to make. If the
race problem can be solved at all it would,
under such circumstauc es, be solved so
gradually that no disturbance would be
produced, and in the meantime the blacks
would be the most favorably situated and
most contented wage-earners in the world.

to minister to the wants and alleviate the
suferings of the lepers of the lazarettos of
the barren Pacific island Of Malokai,
thrilled the world His was a sacrifice for
humanity such as few in the worlds his
tory have made, and his memory is cher

On Thursday there arrived in New York
on the steamer Bothina. a beautiful girl
who is on her way to Ia Ike the place made

She is Sister Rose Gertrude, of the Catholic
sisterhood of st. Dominic. She Is very
young, and the world is doubtless very at
tractive to her, and yet she has no good
reason to expect that she VIII ever return tc
friends or home again, and there is every
probability that she will contract the loath

whose lives she makes such sacrifices to

SIC is the daughter of the Rev. f. Fowler

She was born at Bath, England, aud was

and determined to devote her life to Others.
She has some knowledge of medicine,
having studied under Pasteur, in Paris. and
she will have charge of the leper hospital
She wanted t. join Father DAME in his

youth. She will no doubt prove herself to
