The following is a story Of Abraham
Lincoln which, if it is not true-as it
probably is not-is at least entitled to a
place in legendary literature: Lincoln
was once riding along a lonely road
when IN i'll looking man. who held a
cooked revolver, suddenly faced him.
"What do you want, my friend?'
Lincoln asked.
Il am going to shoot you," answered
the man.
"Well," said Lincoln, II don't mind

your reasons"

A MYTH.

The Story of General Jackson's Cotton Bale
BreastwOrks . Pleasing Fiction.
There are few Of the schoolboys of
several generations preceding the pres
emit who do<not remember being taught
that General Jackson won the battle of
New Orleans by throwing up a breast
work Of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them.
A dramatic account Of this was in all
the school histories and several others,
and the novelty Of the affair appealed
wildly to the imagination. The cold
facts Of later history prove this all to
have been fiction. Henry Adams, in his
history of Madison's administration, de-
scribes the battle of New Orleans and
mentions III such feature. McMaster,
in his latest volume, refers to the story
in a note only to say that there We're two
or three cotton bales used in one place,
and they were either set on fire Or
knocked out at once.
Jackson's line of breastworks was of
earth irregularly thrown up and of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
sharpshooters of the west did great work
as marksmen behind it and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat before the American line.
The schoolbook story used to be that
the Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded. McMaster places the figures
of killed and wounded at 20. The Brit
ish, it seems, were not all repulsed ac-
cording to the popular story. The right
line Of the American troops was driven
in, and the British left advanced a mile
in the rear Of Jackson ON the way to
New Orleans.
He was really flanked by this success,
but the terrific slaughter he inflicted up
on the British in the center, involving
the death Of the first and second generals
in command, completely dispirited them
and induced the return Of that wing of
their army that was ON the way to the
city. Boston Herald.

Answer Of Spain to the Demand Of
Gresham in the Alliance Affair.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The state de.
partment has received from United
States Minister Taylor at Madrid, the
complete and final answer of Spain to
the demand Of Secretary Gresham for
a disavowal of the firing on the United
States merchant ship Alliance.
The document has been awaited for
some time with interest and it was un-
doubtedly one of the main subjects
which Acting Secretary Of State Uhl
brought to the attention of the cabinet
at the regular meeting. The answer is
most cordial in tone, and is expressive
Of the fullest disavowal Of the course
of the commander of the Spanish gun.
boat which fired on the Alliance. 1t is
said to be entirely satisfactory to this
government as it fully meets in letter
and spirit, the demands made.

STOLEN SECRET.
How Nrini~ter Jewell Learned to Make
Russia Leather.

HOW NIlntNSf JeWel Learned To MAKE
Russia Leather.
Jewell, like all men brought mp to
learn a trade, and who afterward gained
prominence in affairs, made now and
then unconscious revelations Of his early
training. During one Of the campaigns
in which he was engaged he found him
self at a country hotel where the table
was bounteous, but the rooms few and
small 1t wa necessary in order that the
whole party might be housed for each
bed to be occupied by two persons. The
governors roommate was a young poll
tician, who could not hide his surprise
when the governor just before retiring
rolled the sleeves Of his night shirt wen
a far up as his shoulders, and then
bathed his arms in cold water
lyon wonder why / do this said
the governor. WELL, I couldn't sleep
unless I did. When / was a youngster
learning the tanners trade, l used to
have my arms in the watts all day long,
and at night my skin would smart us
though I had been stung by nettles. l
could not bear to have any cloth touch
them. So l got the habit of rolling my
shirt sleeves as far as l could, and thus
! have slept ever since
When Jewell was minister to Russia,
he played a Yankee trick upon the Rus
slams, the benefits Of which we are reap
ing even to this day in this country.
Like every other American tanner, he
had long wanted to know the secret of
the process Of manufacturing Russian
leather. He had experimental with a
few dollars himself, only to learn that
the secret wa not to be discovered.
When at the court of st. Petersburg,
he professed great interest in Russian
industries and was shown through many
Of the manufactures there. BY and by
there came IN opportunity to go through
q factory where Russia leather was man
ufactured. Jewell was all smiles and
courtesies and seemed profoundly inter
ested in those things which really did
not interest him and wholly blind to the
very things he went to that place to
see. But he was not SO blind as they
thought. When he came out of that fac,
tory, he had discovered, as he believed,
the process, and he brought the discov.
cry back to this country with him, SC
that by and by the United States began
to turn u a very good article of leather
resembling the Russian product. Phil,
