We passed through Dwight, Ills, not
long ago. Dwight is the home OF the
Kelley institute. Certainly 1000 men
were in line or ready to fall into line for
their regular hypodermic bichloride OF
gold, and they were good looking men
too. Sad to say, they were in the main
young men. Surely rs per cent were
below forty, and none that saw looked
like wrecks. They were healthy and
normal in every way apparently, except
that one horror that had darkened their
own lives and tear stained many pill
low in far away homes.
1t must be good thing. Some three
or four patients who have tried the
home treatment have died, but probably
through ignorance or carelessness, and
the best proof Of the Institutes success
is the growth of the patronage.
If it will do the work we will let DR..
Kelley settle with his conscience, and
every editor can well afford to give him
a column advertisement every Sunday
morning. 1t will do more good than
many bales of dark and morbid litera-
ture of the "Father, dear father, come
home with me now" order.
From Dwight we sailed into Chicago
for day and saw the big fat stock
show. am passionately fond OF fine
stock, having quite considerable of 1T
myself on my country place at Buck
Shoals, n. c.
Whenever I see wide horse with
heavy head of whiskers on his feet or
buff or baratone rooster, am tempted
to purchase him for my stud.farm.
Some of the ablest Shortnorns were
there, and / must say that they are
more popular class OF cattle with me,
though not so tailor made, perhaps, as
the jersey and Attorney. The Short
horn is possessed of those elegant quail
ties of mind and heart which make
him beloved by good people everywhere.
He is full of good impulses az jus, and
even in death we gather around him
and appreciate him. The Shorthorn
strikes d good average for weight, too,
for i've steers Of this class left Mount
Sterling recently averaging ?, $50 pounds
apiece.
Along with the fat stock and adjoin-
ing the hog department was the Lincoln
log cabin. never before so fully real
lied from what humble and beggarly
beginning this powerful and gentle man
arose. 1t is little broken backed sty
OF one room TO begin with, and another
worse one added when Abe got too big
to sleep with his parents. il is not the
romantic log cabin OF joaquin Miller,
but the shiftless, badly Numbered hovel
of weak and hopeless, doless, miserable
poverty of the inexcusable class.
From here he started away down the
river with his fiatboat load OF farm pro-
duce and badly rectified whisky, only to
give his work and cargo over 10 the
first unidentified bunco man who
bought his load and agreed TO meet him
later at New Orleans and pay him, but
who forgot about it up 10 the present
time. Here he visited the old folks
again as he left for the White House,
aad here he drove a shsrpened stake in
after years to mark the grave of his
father and place monument there.
No Illinois boy need fear the future IL
he will look at that sorry structure,
that lettering, pathetic wreck OF Abra-
ham Lincoln's early home.
Not far away on Wabash avenue Is
the old Libby prison, brought here with
every brick and single in it's place, and
now Il most interesting war museum.
1t is filled with wonders of the civil
war, which every year is making more
valuable as the swift centuries play tag
with each other down the musty corri-
doris OF time.
