Lincoln's Simplicity.


An incident that has probably never appeared
in print was related by Schuyler Colfax re-
garding Abraham Lincoln, and is given in Bells
AHOOnd Gazette. 1t was during the dark days
of 1863. on the evening OF public reception
given at the White House.
A young English nObleman was just being
presented to the President. Inside the door,
overawed by the splendid assemblage, was an
honest-faced Old farmer, who shrank from the
passing crowd until he and the plain-faced old
lady clinging to his arm were pressed back to
the wall. The President, tall, and in measure
stately in his personal appearance, looking over
the heads of the assembly, said to the English
nobleman, Excuse me, my lord there's an old
| friend of mine."
| Passing backward to the door, Mr.. Lincoln
said, as he grasped the old farmers hand
why, John, I'm glad to see you. 1 haven't
seen you since you and 1 made rails for old
Mr. in SangamOn county in 1S47. How
are you?"
! The man turned to his wife with quivering
lips, and, without replying to the salutation,
said, Mother, he's just the same old Abel"
| "Mr. Lncoln,' he said finally, ''you know we
had three boys. They all enlisted in the same
company. John was killed in the seven days.

death, and Henry is in the hospital We had a
| little money. an said: Mother, we'll go to
Washington, an see him. AM while we are
| there, we'll 60 up an see the President :"
| Mr.. Lincolns eyes grew dim, and across his
rugged, homely, tender face swept the wave of
sadness which his friends had learned to know;
and he said: John, we all hope this miserable
war will soon be over must see all these folks
here for an hour or so and then want to talk
with YOU" The old lady and her husband were
taken into private room in spite of all their
protests and at the end of the reception had a
real visit with the President.-New York

one had to be cut Off. and for days and days she
nursed him. until one day she could nurse no
longer. and he was just able to sit up in bed
with blanket pinned around him, and smile
down at the brave girl at his side as she lay
there with her baby in her arms. A superb
layette was flying around the country, but it
didn't get there until six months afterwards,
and that little baby's clothes were made of its
mothers. There's brave woman for you!
And today? Well today the hard times have
gone by. and she is as bright and happy and
loving as Only gentlewOman can be, and the
beautiful diamond bands ON her hands, those
tiny little hands that did such good service each

off and bravely waited for them to come back.
And the one that glitters the brightest glOws

Writing for a Newspaper.

Someone said to the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette that he wanted to write for a newspaper,
and asked what he should write about.
Write about? Write about? Why. write
about anything in this great city. in this wide
world that interests you: and write about moth
ing that does net interest you. You will be an
uncommon man if what interests you interests
no one else. You will be fortunate man if
what interests you interests many. AS your
sympalhies. your lines of thought are broad OIL
narrow. you will write for large or small
number.
In the next place, write not line, not word
when you find you have ceased to interest your
self. Ones own candid Judgment is not
unlikely to be the severest critic. Appeal tC
that-Obey that. Does it tell you you are writ
ing against space? Stop at once.
In the third place, consider the art of putting
things. Beef and potatoes will keep a MAJ
from starving. but when you prepare for the
public it is banquet you are spreading

Daring Operations.

The first operation for the removal of the
jugular was performed in India by an English
surgeon, a DR.. Smith, on an East Indian, who
had such bad tumOr on his neck that death
was certain. To cut down and take out piece
of the famous old vein was simply a rash eX-
pertinent in which DR.. Smith himself had little
confidence. AS soon as the news of his success
was distributed through the medical world the
vein itself lost some of its great prestige and the
tumor of the neck much of its horror. You may
be sure that DR.. Smith did not tell the Indian
what he was about to do, or the poor fellow
would probably have died of fright On the spot,
for the ignorant natives of India regard the
juguar as the seat of all life. But the prestige
of the jugular has received even greater blow.
A few weeks ago, in a case OF Inflammation of
both sides of the walls of the neck, and the re-
sulting disease of both jugulars and the tissue
around them, of patient in a British hospital
another rash experiment was attempted-the
removal of both jugulars. 1t succeeded. The
patient is upon his feet again and as lively he
ever was and to be slashed in the jugular has
now no terrOrs for him.-ChicagO Record.

A Queer Prisoner.

large and healthy eagle flew out of the alley
across the street and lit On the sidewalk near
the horse. Foolish turned his head and rolled
his eyes at the eagle, gave snort and muttered
to himself II don't know what kind of a
chicken you are. but I'll kick the feathers off

below Second street on NicOllet avenue, and as
it is very tame it is allowed the run of the place.
The spirit of freedom is typical of the eagle,
and confinement cannot kill it. Consequently
when the door was left open for few minutes
yesterday, the eagle screamed a shrill goodbye.

to pick out the best route when he got as far as

Sunday Services.

The address delivered in our chapel last Sun
day was in the Swedish language. Mr.. Vene,
the speaker was introduced by Chaplain
Albert. who said: Doctors have greater Op-
pOrtuntieS than men of most professions.
They are found at the bedside of the rich and
the poor. They are present at birth and when
lfe's span is run and the soul is freed from its
earthly tenement Doctors teach the laws of
health. the sanitary conditions necessary for
the prOlOngaton of human life. The Christian
physician teaches how to so live as to find
eternal life Mr.. Nelne combines the two.
Born in Sweden twenty-five years ago, he is now
engaged in the study of medicine at the
University of Minnesota, and while he devOtes
himself with all the earnestness of his nature to
his chosen profession, he still finds time to go
out on the highways and byways to administer
the soothing balm of religion to souls bowed
down in grief
