EincnIn.s Substitute.

It IS not generally known that Abra-
ham Lincoln sent a substitute to the
war against the south, but such is a
fact. During the earlier days Of the
war 1t seems to have been the desire of
all prominent men in Washington to
have q representative in the ranks, and
Lincoln was no exception to the rule.
At that time there was a minister
named Staples in Washington, one Of
whose sons, then aged nineteen, had
desire TO 20 to the front. Lincoln
heard of him. and after q conference
selected him as his representative. and
he proved worthy. for he won honor on
the field He survived the war and
finally died in Stroudsburg. The in
scriptiou on the stone over his grave
reads as follows: j. Summerheld
Staples. a private of Company c, One
Hundred and Seventy-sixth Regiment,
P.V. Also a member of the Second
regiment. D. C. Vols, as 4 substitute
for Abraham Lincoln "-Philadelphia

CHAPTER VII
THE HACIENDA"

Returning to the place where we had
eaten, we found the alcalde talking
with the sailors as to their plans.
The senior unbucked the belt of money
which he wore about his waist, and
pouring out half handful of gold
pieces, begged the boatswain to accept
of them for division between himself
and his companions. All this while
Don Jose was sitting close to Us, watch
ing everything that passed, and saw
his eyes brighten at the sight of the
belt of gold.
"YCu are fortunate TO have saved so
much" he said. speaking for the first
time. ''All that had has gone down
with the ship. yes. three thousand dol
lars or more"
You should have followed our ex-
ample, answered the senior; I'VE di-
vided our cash between the three of US
and secured il upon our persons. though
perhaps you were wise after all. since
such a weight of gold might have been
awkward If, like you, we had been
called upon 70 swim By the way,
senior, what are your plans?"
"If you will allow me- answered the
Mexican, Il will walk with you toward

CLEVELAND FOR THIRD TERM.
Probabilities OF His Being selected in the
Coming Campaign

The New York Herald's boom Tor Mr.
CleveIand's denomination for the presi-
dencv By the democrats at their next
national convention has not proven to
be such a great joke as some of the
democratic papers deemed It 10 be at
first. Indeed the Herald's presentation
Of Mr.. Cleveland for a third term as the
chief executive of the United States
was d popular one in many sections of
the country at the time the Herald
launched the boom two weeks ago, and
the idea is becoming more popular each
day among democrats.
II certainly appears as though Mr.
CIeveland's candidacy viii grow rapidly
in popularity among democrats. and
that he viii receive the unanimous
nomination of his party for another
term. As a IMAM Of destiny" all things
are probable with Mr. Cleveland, and his
selection for fourth time as the demo-
cratic standard bearer in the pTesiden-
tiaI contest next year may be sensibly
predicted One great factor in favor
of his candidacy is that there are no
other candidates prominently men
toned rs his successor.
If there are any democratic states
men aspiring 20 be the democratic pres
idential nominee in 1896, they had bet
ter step forth into an active canvass for
the nomination at once, for Mr.. Cleve-

UP AND DOWN THE RAILS,
Editor lEXARKANIAN:


The writer left Little Rock yes

and snow, or in slush on the sunny
sides. Business rather dull; lum-
Der, common, can not be sold for
81 per thousand except an occasion
al lot.
The st. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern Railway has just about
completed seven mileSof regarding
roadbed from Mabelvale to Bryant,
raising it in places six feet, and
cutting down in places, and ballast
ing with gravel and putting down
new rails-75 pounds to the yard
making the best roadbed in Arkan-
sas They propose to continue the
work in the spring. This will no
doubt insure a shortening of time
between this city and Little Rock,
as the work progresses.
This road is now the great artery
for travel between Texas and St.
Louis and Memphis, running sohd
trains into both places, and avoid
ing much of the swamps and tres
ties of other lines into Memphis.
The writer has been along the
lines of the Texarkana & Ft. Smith
Ry. lately, They are now laying
track at the rate of a mile day
between Texarkana and Shreveport
and will be into that city next
month. Three hundred miles is let
out between here and Sabine Pass,
at the mouth of the Sabine River,
Texas, and work is being pushed as
rapidly as possible, and will proba-
bly, be completed by next new years
day. They are at work from Ft.
Smith coming this way down the
west line of Arkansas, and doing
little going northward to a connec-
tion. The road from Kansas City,
Mo-, to Sloan Springs just north
of Ft. Smith, Ark, has been open a
year, and the whole line from Kan
sas City to Sabine Pass is rapidly
closing to completion
The effect of this road upon the
commerce of Arkansas and Texas
can hardly be estimatedin advance.
That it will be one of the greatest
arteries of the continent appears
self evident
The local benefit to Texarkana
can not be estimated. That your
city is destined to be one of the
greatest in the Southwest requires
no prophet to foretell. You have
already enterprising newspapers
(none more so than the TEXARKAN-
IAN), good hotels, none better than
the Benefited, enterprising whole

ter, good climate, good schools and

Ono of the leading papers of Mad
rid is authority for the statement that
Spain has squandered no less than
$40, 1921 900 in her effort to subdue the
Cubans. Since the outbreak of the
present revolution she has sent upon
this fruitless errand of subjugation as
many as forty generals, 562 chiefs,
476S captains aud lieutenants, 112, $50
corporals and soldiers, 143 cannons,
100, 900 rifles, 5000 bayonets, 90, 900
cases of canister shot, 81, ,S7S, ,36S cart
ridges and 72,326 Kilograms of pow
der. Notwithstanding this enormous
expenditure of money and supplies,
the cause of Spain has gained but lit
tie advantage over that of Cuba during
the eighteen months. "The Cubans
are making brave fight" exclaims
the Atlanta Constitution.

The number of foreign estates await,
ing American inheritors does not di.
minish, though the inheritors never
enter in and possess them, remarks
the New York Tribune. They vanish
on approach like the end of rain
bow showing where the pot of gold is
buried. The last one to turn up is
appraised at $50, 900, 900, and is
claimed by representatives of the
Holt family, resident here. 1t dates
back about two hundred years, the
nest egg having been laid by Lord
Chief Justice of the reigns of William
III. and Queen Anne. 1t lay in the
pickle vat of chancery something like
one hundred and fifty years, and then
heirs-at-law began to appear, but the
only thing certainly known of them is
that none of them ever got anything,
and nobody has yet succeeded in To-
eating any OF the property. Still the
present American claimants are GER
tain it is there, and their lawyer as
sures them that they have a good case.
They will, no doubt, be called upon to
advance some money to carry on in
vestigations, and when that is spent
they will be asked for more. So long
as enough is forthcoming to keep the
cogs and sprockets of the acting attor-
ney well oiled, the property will con-
tinue to present an alluring aspect,
but after that it will go into the
eclipse of ehancery again, and remain
occulted for another hundred years or
SO. Perhaps another crop of fools
may turn up by that time ready for
another grab ut the Fortunatus
purse of the old Chief Justice, and if
so. unless things change materially in
the interval, they will find plenty of
lawyers to encourage them.
