LINCOLN and the Colonel.

An officer wearing the insignia OF
a colon els rank came in, and Mr..
Lincoln was full of sympathy, which
he shed ike the summer rain that
makes the fields 1t hastes to bright
and green. He drew the chair near
the Colonel, whose complaint was
in brief that he had been upjustly
dismissed from the army for drunken
ness on duty. The officer had a good
and gallant record. Lincoln knew
him, He never forgot such case.
The lines in the soldiers face told
their own story of long and unre-
strained indulgence.
Mr.. Lincoln heard the story patient
Iy. He rose up and, as was his habit
when moved deeply, he grasped the
soldiers hand In both his own, and
said: Colonel, 1 know your story,
But you carry your condemnation in
your face"
The tears were in his voice and to
the soldier, who walked out without
q word, Lincoln appeared like slice
of the day of judgment. The only
comment the President made subse-
quently to me was: ~ dare not restore
This man to his rank and give him
charge of / 900 men when he puts an
enemy into his mouth to steal away
his brains. New Overland.

NEW YORK, Dec. GA small and
select crowd of spectators stood in
front of Carl Lucken backer's account
book factory last week and watched
Ottilie Schenozen MERGER whip Mr..
Lucken hacker with large, heavy
dog whip. They were especially in
Vited for the occasion, and showed
every mark of lively appreciation.
"Go It'll" they yelled with fervor.
"Cut him in the eye." "Slash his
heart out" Good work, Otie. ""Don't
give him no show, do him up good, "
Finally, according to Lucken oacker's
statement, some of the others took

Another Way,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 The Mills
people have got their heads together
and decided to substitute diplomacy
for kicking. They find more or
less dissatisfaction among those
who voted for Crisp on the
final ballot over his policy
proposed relative to the tariff
and other house affairs, and believe
if the matter can be thrown into q
caucus they can control. Word has
been passed around that the kick.
ing must cease, to be substituted
with talk of harmony and every
question of tariff and silver policy
should be decided by caucus. 1t is
understood they have counted noses
and are convinced of their ability to
control the caucus. They will sign q
call for caucus soon after reassem-
bling congress. Congressman
Boatner says: In my judgment
Speaker Crisp has made a political
mistake in not placing Mills at the
head of the ways and means commit.

pated it. The result is republicans
