ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY.

Told by = Resident of Springfield Who
Knew Him When y Young Lawyer.
Manning A. Bruce, of Springfield, Ill,
Is eighty-four years old, and on q re-
cent visit to Chicago had large as
sortment of new anecdotes of Lincoln.
There are two events in Mr.. Bruce's
life Of which he is equally proud One
of them is the holding Of an umbrella
over the head of Lincoln when the lat
ter was answering Douglas in one of
their great joint debates The other Is
the bringing of fifteen thousand BUSH
els of corn into Chicago by canal boat
in 1854. "Lah, me, boy" he said, II
KANT tell you nothin' new about Abe
Lincoln. You see, settled down at
Winchester, Scott county, in 1884.
Steve Douglas came along about the
same time. Dick Yates, him that was
gunner afterwards, was student over
at the Ellenoy university at Jackson
vile. l knew Dick well, and he used
to tell me about queer character over
at Berlin. He was a big, tall, raw
boned young fellow, Dick said, and he
used to like to lay around and read the
newspapers That odd character was
Abe Lincoln. One day, after we had got
our little town of Winchester made the
county seat of Scott county, Lincoln
came along, riding the circuit with the
crowd OF smart young lawyers who
were about in those dayA Them were
tho days of patent rights, and / had
bought the sole right to thrash wheat
by machinery for whole county.
The farmers began to infringe on me,
and asked Lincoln to start suit for
me. he heard the case, and then he
said: Bruce, you'd better let 'em
thrash the wheat Hyou don't they'll
thrash you National Tribune.

TO HAVE PRETTY HANDS.


Ample Methods by which They May be
Kept Soft and white.
Any woman can have pretty hands
who is willing to go TO the least trou-
BILE with them. The hand is easily
nodded and can be shaped or whitened
or the texture changed almost at the
will of the owner. In the first place
the hand has rounded palm and 1--WE
graceful fingers that are bound to be
pretty, no matter how treated. The
only things to be done are to make the
flesh soft, the skin white and the nails
an oval which shall be becoming to the
style of the hand. These are the most
difficult things to accomplish, unless
one knows exactly how, and the easiest
ii the secret has been learned. But "
ultimate success there need be no doubt
The best hand bleach is pure soan
Get enough to fill teacup when
shaved finely-castile is very good for
this-and melt with pint of water
until 1t is thin soft soap. Add q
little cologne and set away to cool in
. big jar. Now. when washing the
hands, lather thicl<ly with this soft
soap and hold them in water which is
only warm. Wash off the soap with
hot water and after shaking the hands
well dry them in box OF cracked oat-
meal. Rub softly until thoroughly dry
and then dust them lightly with .
towel, and If in one week the hands
are not beautifully white they may be
given up as the only hands in the
world that are wholly incorrigible.
Bony hands, even. can be improved.
The skin of the hands is very suscepti-
BILE to oils, and If mutton tallow, cream
or quantity of good almond oil 10
diligently rubbed in twice day, for
ten minutes at time, in q month the
hands will begin to be plump and
pretty. vaseline is not SO good for
this, as on some skins it is apt to pro-
duce light though undesirable growth
of hair. Lord Byron's old recipe for =
pretty nail still holds good: "a rose
leaf with q crescent in it." And as
most rose leaves are oval let the nail
be as much that shape as possible; and
It you can shape it so. let it curve at
the tip exactly a. it does at the end
where the moon" lies This will &C.
complish the oval. After woman has
made her hands soft and white and
pretty she wants something else, and
that something is the polish which still
continues to be fashionable among So
ciety beauties, in spite of the verdict
that the maniures are against IL. Il
takes longer to manicure . polished
nail than it does dull one, but there

ployers as to let them engage servants
whom they know to be unsatisfactory
and likely to give trouble.
The Bandit" OF course, knew that
my father carried the diamond about
with him.
1t was odd that 1.-THE Bandit" should
have settled In the neighborhood.
These two thoughts did not strike
me, or strike me as connected, till later.
MY father was, daresay, somewhat
troubled at my engagement He would
lose me, as ! was going to India with
my husband, and, rs have said, was
his companion and housekeeper after
my mothers death. But my father
was not man of demoustrativeness
and he made no show OF greatly coz
corning himself at my loss He took
the prospect more coolly than perhaps
liked.
