ABRAHAM LINCOLN was fond of anec-
dotes and generally had one to relate
pertinent to the matter under consider
alton. The writer does not remem Der
what called forth the one ABOUT to be
repeated, but the anecdote is good
enough without any special application.
1t is doubtful if this one has ever been
published but it will be given as it
came from the lips OF that great man,
not in exact words but in substance. In
the early days, he said, there were three
churches in Springfeld-the Baptist,
the Methodist and the Presbyterian, all
orthodox, we'll attended and flourish
lag. Just then there came along a
smart young Uniyersalist minister,
who began to preach with a
view to establishing q church OF
MS own. The orthodox ministers were
net pleased with this innovation, and
got together to consider the matter. It
was finally agreed between them that
they would take turns and preach the
newcomer down, and it fell to the lot OF
the Methodist brother to preach the
first ssrnnOn in refutstion of the new,
and as they thought, dangerous doc
trine. Accordingly, when Sunday and
the hour came the Methodist dominic

happy and contented condition, and how

SUNDAY. APRIL ss. 1894.

GENERAL" KELLY, of the Industrials,
has shown that he is not only a capable
leader. but possesses that higher at
tribute which consists in refusing to
yield to temptation. When his sympa-
thizsrs seized a train at Council Bluffs
by force and ran il to Weston, he said, t,
mo; will not accept it. Although we
are sadly in need OF transportation, my
conscience would not permit me to pro-
ceed on my journey with 2 stolen train"
When we remember that his army were
stranded, and suffering from exposure
to the most inclement weather, we can
conceive how great was the temptation
he resisted. He showed in this one of
the greatest attributes of leadership and
moral courage.

Connie GiIchrist's superstition.

Some ten years ago there was woman on
the English stage who bore the name OF Connie
Gilchrist She was a London Gaiety actress
ana was as sprighily sOubrette as ever tripped
the boards. Comics specially was skipping
rope dance, and she had one OF The most curl
Gus of stage superStiliOns, and a somewhat
vulgar one wlthal. She would never do that
dance without splitting in her Slipper: 1t
brought her luck she said. Well, one day Con-
ME disappeared. 1t was given out that she had
been stricken blind and had gone into retire
ment on the Continent. Her former adniil ers
pitled her and then forthwith forgot her. This
was just what Connie wanted, for there were
excellent reasons for this disappearance aside

UD 10 that time her particular friend had
been the Duke of Beaufort, but The youthful
charms of Hugh ID ummond, the handsome
son OF the rich London banker proved too
much for the scion of nobility and he found
himself forsaken. There was big row one
night at the Orleans Club between the two
sultors and to avert scandal Connie went
abroad. Nothing more was heard of her until
eighteen months ago, when she returned to
England as handsome as ever and the bride OF
the wealthy Earl of Orkney. Did you under

did not come from her splitting in her shoes she
