Lovely Ann Mayes Rutledge, "as Fair as
Flower"
n, Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Ann Mayes Rutledge, says writer
in the February MpClure's, was horn
in Kentucky, January It'll, 1918.
When Lincoln first met her she was
~ years old, and as fresh as a flower.
Many of those who knew her at that
time have left tributes of her beauty
and gentleness, and even to-day there
are those living who talk Of her with
moiatened eyes and aoftened tones.
"She was beautiful girl" says her
cousin, james McGrady Rutledge.
land as bright as she was pretty. She
was well educated for that early day, a
good conversationalist, and always
gentle and cheerful, girl whose COM
pany people liked So fair maid
was not, of course, without suitors.
The most determined of those who
sought her hand was one John MCNEIL,
young man who had arrived in New
Salem from New York soon after the
founding of the town. Ann became
engaged to McNeill, but il was decided
to put off marriage on account of AIMS
youth. After awhile McNeill left for his
home in the East, saying that he
Wbulb ibbuIH lltub WIFI his
Then ii came out that McNeill's real
name was McNamar. The New Salem
people pronounced him an imposter. A
few letters were received from him by
Ann, but finally the lover ceased to
write TO her.
In the spring of 1888 Ann agreed to
become Lincoln's wife. New Salem
took cordial interest in the two
lovers and presaged happy life for
them, and all would undoubtedly have
gone well il the young girl could have
dismissed the haunting memory of her
old lover The possibility that she
had wronged him, that he might re-
appear, that he loved her still, haunted
her so persistently that she took TO her
bed. Her death speedily followed.
Lincoln's grief was intense. One
stormy night Lincoln was sitting be-
side William Green, his head bowed
on his hand, while tears trickled
throughshis fingers; his friend begged
him TO control his sorrow, to try to
forget. 81 cannot, moaned Lincoln;
'the thought OF the snow and rain on
her grave fills me with indescribable
grief
He was seen walking alone by the
river and through the woods, mutter-
ing strange things to himself. He
seemed to his friend TO be in the
shadow Of madness. They kept close
watch over him; and at last Bowling
Green, one of the most devoted friends
Lincoln then had, took him home to
his little log cabin, half mile north
OF New Salem, under the brow of a big
bluff Here, under the loving care of
Green and his good wife, Nancy, Lin
coin remained until he was once more
master Of himself.
But though he had regained self,
control, his grief was deep and bitter.
Ann Rutledge was buried in Concord
cemetery, a country burying ground,
seven miles northwest of New Salem,
To this lonely spot Lincoln frequently
iourneyed to weep over her grave.
My heart is buried there" he said
to ono Of his friends
The grave of Ann Rutledge was
never honored with stone until the
body was taken up in 1880 and re-
moved to Oakland cemetery, mile
southwest of Petersburg, Ill.

An artist rare fair Juliais.
OF fancies sweet and quaint,
With such face us Rafiaele
Himself might love to paint.
A face whose rich and varying hue
The charm Of contrast shows;
Sometimes she's as the lily pale,
sometimes red as the rose.
Her form is shaped in bcauty's mould,
BETTING her fair face,
Whose every movement doth disclose
An ever living grace.
Her slken lashes darkly shade
Soft eyes Of deepest blue.
Whose brows of faultless lines reveal
y still yet darker hue.
A deft and dainty touch she hath
In this her chosen art,
While to her master hand naught but
True genius could impart.
And modest, too, she withal,
With unassuming ways,
Who in her work, as though unmeet,
No sense Of pride displays.
No word of self-landation e'er
Her vanity betrays,
As if content that other lips
Should speak her need OF praise.
A portrait painter Julia is,
But-let the truth be known
While artists other faces paint,
Fair Julia paints-her own.

T. Chalkley Hatton, engineer in
charge of sewers, has in his possession
a blue print giving cross section of
the city Of Charlestown and showing
the effect of the great earthquake there
upon three sewers that crossed the city.
The original level of the sewers is in
dictated along with the changes which
are traced to the effect of the earth
quake. Instead of keeping TO the
former level the sewers are shown TO
have raised above that level in most Of
their parts and are uneven throughout
most Of their length. 1t appears from
this that the earth had heaved and
permanently altered the level of the
sewers. This fact was not discovered
until some time after the earthquake.

A prize was offered recently by the
London It'd. Bits for the best answer TO
the question, '.What is Home" Here
are few of the answers which were
received:
Home is the blossom of which heaven
is the fruit.
A world of strife shut out, world
of love shut in.
The golden setting in which the
brightest jewel is mother.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of humanity are
hidden under mantle Of charity
The place where the great are some
times small and the small often great
The fathers kingdom and the chill
dren's paradise, the mothers world.
Who're you are treated best and
grumble most.

windy hill Of the world, where we can
be shielded from its cares and annoy

The mineral resources of the United
States, 1894. are set down in part three
of the 10th annual report of the United
States Geological Survey, which is at
hand. The volume contains upward of
GAG pages and has numerous tables
showing the quantity of minerals pro-
duced and their value, as we'll as a
number of maps. 1t places the value
of the metallic products of the United
States in 1894 at 52lS, It's, 7sS; and the
metallic mineral products, at S3Os, :
1856 ia. The estimated value of mineral
products unspeciiied is $1,000, 600,
making grand total of S527, CO. 5G2.
The value of the products in 1894 was
less than that Of the previous six years.
For 1892 the value is placed at S6iS,
6l6,95i, which is S12O, 600, 900 more
than that for 1894. The volume con-
tains articles on different topics con
nected with the subject of mineral
products, such as Production of Iron
Ores, " Iron and Steel and Allied
Industries" "Gold Fields of the
Southern Appalachians," as we'll as
papers on different metals.
