The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1896-12-05

Many an act of kindness has been left
undone because it carried with it n seein-
ing loss of dignity. The following letter
of a lady of Springfield, Ills, published in
McClure's Magazine, shows the self for
getfulness and kindness Of the great man
we all delight to honor The incident took
place after Mr. Lincoln had been to con-
gress. We might query how many repre-
sentatives Of $50, 600 men would forget
themselves enough to do the same thing.
"The very childron," the lady writes,
"knew him, for there was not one of them
for whom he had not done some kind
deed. My first impression of Mr. Lincoln
was made by one of his kind deeds. / was
going with q little friend for my first trip
alone on the railroad cars. 1t was an
epoch Of my life I had planned for 1t and
dreamed Of 1t for weeks.
"The day came but as the hour Of the
train approached the hackman, through
some neglect, failed to call for my trunk.
AS the minutes went on realized, in a
panic of grief, that should miss the train
1 was standing by the gate, my hat and
gloves on, sobbing as II my heart would
break, when Mr.. Lincoln came by.
"'Why. what's the natter" he asked
And poured out all my story.
"'How big's the trunk There's still
Nme, If it isn't too big And he pushed
through the gate and up to the door.
MY mother and took him up to my
room, where my little old fashioned trunk
stood, locked and tied. 'Oh hop he cried.
Wipe your eyes and come on quick.
"And before knew what he was going
to do he had shouldered the trunk, was
down stairs and striding out of the yard.
Down the street he went as fast as his long
legs could carry him, trotting behind,
drying my tears as went. We reached the
station in time. Mr.. Lincoln put me on
tho train, kissed me goodby and told me to
have good time 1t was Just like him. !"

FREE CURE FOR men.
a Michigan Man Offers to Send His Dis
covery Free.
Claims to Be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less supicion at
tached to anything that Is offered free, but
sometimes man 30 overfows with gen.
erosity that he cannot rest until his dis.
covery is known to the world, In order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pal that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind prescrip-
tion which will cure them OF any form Of
nervous debility; relieves them OF all the
doubt and uncertainty which such men
are peculiarly liable to and restores the
organs to natural size and vigor. AS 1t
costs nothing to try tho experiment It
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested In remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and vigor,
without which they continue to live an
existence of untold misery. As the remedy
In question was the result OF many years.
research as to what combination would be
peculiarly effective In restoring to men
the strength they need, 1t would seem that
all men suffering with any form OF nerv-
ous weakness ought to write for such
remedy at once. A request to II. Z. Olds,
Box 1,625, Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that
you are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use Of the medicine by giving 1t q
trial, will be answered promptly and with
out evidence as to where evidence came
from.
The prescription is sent free and al-
though some may wonder how Mr.. Olds
can afford to give away his discovery
there Is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr.
Olds so that he may know how you came
to write to him.

The Casting of Steel.

In casting steel there has always been
more or less difficulty from the tendency
Of the melted metal to splash. This pro-
duces flaws md cracks on the surface OF
the ingots used for forging guns. These
7ingots weigh five tons and upward. it
naturally arises that such large quantity
of metal falling from a hoight into the
molds would spatter and splash. The par
ticles thrown off cool rapidly and are pro-
ductive of great deal Of trouble. BY a
new and simple method this Is prevented.
A tube Is prepared of thin sheet iron, such
as Is used for roofing. The tube Is "a inch
es in inside diameter and Is suspended from
an iron ring, to which there are riveted
three bars on the surface of the mold. The
steel is poured from the bottom of the ladle
into the middle Of the iron tube. All the
splashes are thrown on the walls OF the
tube, which gradually melts away during
the rise of tho surface of the liquid steel In
the mold. II Is by such little devices q;
this that great deal of time, trouble and
work are saved.-New York Ledger.

AN ADVERTISING STORY.


Newspapers Files.
A lswyer from the south, who was re-
Gently in Philadelphia, tells an advertis-
ing story that points moral 1t seems he
had been intrusted with the commission Of
finding certain possible American heirs to
the estate of an English decedent. "In
making this inquiry" said the lawyer. II
found 1t necessary to examine the files OF
leading newspapers in Philadelphia and
New York, covering quite q long period.
1t seemed an endless task, owing largely to
the fact that was continually getting in
terested in some article or advertisement
that had no possible connection with the
matter In hand. But that which especially
engaged my attention while perusing those
back numbers was the advertisements OF
certain business men. and commercial
houses that were constantly recurring
throughout the files When tliey first at
tracted my attention, they didn't occupy
great deal of space, but grew constantly
larger as the dates of the files came nearer
the present time, until they filled pages,
and from first to last, whether solid or dis
play matter, they told their story clearly
and impressively about what the advertiser
had to sell. In these well worded advertise
ments L seemed TO be reading the history
and viewing the prosperous growth OF the
houses that had inserted them. Being
stranger In both cities and not familiar
with the places of business about which l
had been reading so much in the newspa-
per files, determined to crafty my curl
osity by visiting some of them. This did

factor.

amount he invested SO, 500 in stock and
$1,000 In advertising, and at the end Of
the first year had doubled his capital; that
he continued to increase his advertising
and the double process continued and final
