KocH's lymph has again been heard
from. A German doctor announced
before Berlin medical society that
he had been using the lymph for two
years, and that in no instance had
his patients suffered injurious effects.
When the medicine was first invented
its advocates claimed that it would
renew youth, and even confer immor-
tally. This latest recommendation
by the Berlin physician is a slight
falling of. but ii is something to
know that medicine is harmless.

T. J. McMunn, Of san Antonio,
Texas, says: An old friend Of mine
named Cabaniss recently told me that
Abraham Lincoln worked for his father.
in 1892. At that time great rise oe-
Cured in the Sangamon river, and a
steamboat, taking advantage Of the
high water, came mp the stream. My
friend was then child, and the
whistling Of the boat frightened him.
Lincoln, then tall, angular young
man, took him in his arms and carried
him aboard the boat. After the de-
parture of the craft Lincoln wrote
some rhymes about the incident. one
verse Of which the Cabaniss family
preserved. IL runs thus:
The Illinois Suckers green and raw,
Collected on the Sangamaw
To see boat come up the stream,
They surely thought It was a dream.
''For this doggerel he invented a
melody, and he and others sang IL.
The song never found its way into
print. The elder Cabaniss always told
his children that the amiablc, kindly
Lincoln would develop into great
man"

NEW YORK papers in depicting
Chicago as a pig seemed to have
reached the climax OF humorous pos
sibility and to be content there to
abide. Yet Chicago got only what New
York strove for and did not have gump-
ton and enterprise enough to secure.
Admitting for arguments sake that
Chicago is the fat-jowled animal of
Gotham cartoons innulnerable, it rises
superior to the dog in the manger.

FRENCH courts are not conducted
after the dignity Of English or Ameri-

trated when NJ. Bourgeois, the ex-

room when the Panama trial was in
progress and exclaimed: III anyone

Such situation in an American or

Finding Lost EacCaCa.

1t was on the Stormy division of the
c. B. and Q. it happened, when Superin-
tendent Dugsn's jurisdiction embraced
that division. The east bound passen-
ger train, then called the Cannon Ball,
had on board five corpses, through
from Denver, in charge of the train
baggage man. 1t was in June, and the
weather was hot. The baggage man find
ing the atmosphere in the baggage car be-
coming undesirable moved three boxes
containing a corpse each to the plat
form of his car outside, one on top of
the other
As the train was nearing Ottumwa,
the baggage man upon looking out was
Mortified to discover one Of the boxes
missing. Surmising that one of the boxes
had slid off in rounding curve, owing
to the high rate of speed the train had
been running, he wired Superintendent
Dugan Immediately upon arrival of the
train at Ottumwa, apprising him of the
loss. Dugan wired the section foreman
at Ottumwa as follows:
Patrick McGann-Look for corpse
lost off Cannon Ball three miles west of
Ottumwa and report condition of same
when found"
Patrick Immediately started out with
the section gang, and found the box in
tact and brought the same to Ottumwa.
It was seldom that Patrick received or
ders direct from the superintendent, the
roadmaster being his immediate supe
rior. Consequently Patrick concluded
the time to win promotion had arrived.
and after reading Dugan's telegram over
for the twentieth time wired his super-
intendent as follows:
"Mishter Doogun-I hev found the
koropse, and the koropse was ded."
The operators expostulations were in
vain. and Patrick would permit nc
change in the message, saying:
