When Lincoln showed him q plan of cam-
paign which Grant disapproved, Lincoln
tore it up. Lord WOlseley has tried to
show that Lincoln was the great strategist
and cited many directions TO generals by
Lincoln that were successful.
Lincoln, the speaker said. did not mag
nifty party accomplishments. and in his
second inaugural speech he SAID nothing OF
party. He did say thar the country should
care for the soldiers and their widows and
orphans. And let me say something about
PENSIONS here" continued the speaker.
when the soldiers went to the front they
were told that if they fought the battles
and won nothing would be too good foI
them. If the people who are now seeking
to ridicule the pensioners could feel and
know what the soldiers did. as we who
lived in the days of the war knew and felt,
this cry of opposition to pensions would
cease. This howl comes from wealthy New
Workers, who live half the time abroad.
New York was not patriotic; she resisted
the draft, and her rich men to-day do not
care much for the country. Almost the
last words of Lincoln were to care for the
soldiers"
The speaker thought that the most heroic
event in Grants life was his work upon his
memoirs after his disease had been pro-
nounced fatal. in order TO provide for his
family after his death. He said that he be-

How to Provide Work for All.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
/ am glad you enter upon my idea of So
curing work for all those who are willing,
but cannot find it under the existing cir.
cumstances. However, you find an OBJ
stacle in the human inclination for Liberty
and independence. That is right There
are many other i~nclinatious which also
should be taken into account. There is o
prevailing sense for order and decency. q
dread of anarchy, a desire to be treated
with love, TO enjoy comfort and good CON-
psny. etc. Let us try to harmonic these
solve the problem by this or by some better
scheme. But. above all. let Us make
eXertions for it and induce onr
talented fellOwmen To occupy their
minds with this important question. The
management of the army of laboring men
certainly wOnld require q strong hand. but
there Is no necessity for cruelty. Let the
men be treated with severity. but also with
kindness. Let there be erected large halls
where they can spend their leisure time
and get refreshments alta low price. Such
halls might possibly do more for the pro.
motion of temperance than laws. etc.
Many persons would prefer a cup of coffee.
or tea. or bouillOn. or even o glass of fresh
water. decently served. TO beer, wine or
whisky, especially after having realized by
experience the benefieent effects. Let
there be lecturers and books in such halls,
ami the minds of the visitors be elevated.
Let the applicants for work be appraised at
once that thew will be engaged only SO
long as they desire; that they can go as
soon as they can find other work that will
SUIT them better. There certainly must be
kept discipline, but 1t needs not TO be Sc

Hedges for Shady Places.

1t is often desirable to have hedge.
along lines where large trees are already
growing. Evergreens are wholly un.
fitted for these situations; only decidu.
GUS shrubs can be employed. Among
the best of these are the various varie,
ties of privet. They stand dry ground
better than almost anything else. II
is not so much the shade which Injuries
the hedges in these situations as it is
the drying of the ground by the roots
of the trees. When we imagine the
enormous amount of moisture trans
piring from thousands of leaves of
trees, we can readily see how dry the
ground must be which has to supply
this moisture. But those who have
practical experience understand this
without even thought OF the philoso-
ply involved. -Meehan's Monthly.

| Two hens had their nests near to-
gether, about two feet apart and as
each laid every other day, one nest
would be vacant while the other was
occupied. The hen that laid last
would not go away until she had
stolen the nest-egg from the other
nest and placed it in her own.
A hen was once seen to attempt to
steal an egg from another nest twenty
feet distant. She worked for half an
hour or so, but did not succeed in
moving the coveted egg more than
eight feet-the way being uphill.
The egg escaped her and rolled back
foot or two so often that she gave
up the task in disgust.
One evening the observer found one
hen on the nest, and knew that she
was beginning to set, as all the other
hens had gone to roost. Slipping his
hand under her he found three eggs,
the nest-egg, an egg she had just laid,
aud one stolen from a neighboring
hest.
He took two out and held them be-
fore her, when she placed her bill
pver one and tried to pull it out of
his hand. AS he refused to let her
have it, she placed her bill over the
remaining egg and pushed 1t back out

have." she pleaded so hard for the

Vice Admiral Colomb, of the British
Navy, who is regarded as one of tn e
leading naval authorities of the world,
has expressed an opinion regarding
the most available types of war ships,
particularly for the United States.
He says that we should build battle
ships, armored cruisers and torpedo O
boats, because they will be what we
shall need in case of any war we are
likely TO have. He says that if he had
control of the Navy Department of the
United States he would look at the
Nations with whom this country might
go to war, and would then provide
enough battle ships to be superior to
the battle ships of any one of these
possible enemies, and continually keep
up this superiority. He would also
build fast cruisers, many of which
should be armored-vessels like the
New York for example-and then, in
addition, fast torpedo boats as n means
OF coast defense.
