No mystic, no ivy, nor hyacinth blows

Though it has a State reputation in

principal decoration at the Lincoln ban

and the portrait was left by Will to his
daughters Mrs. A. c. Patterson and
Miss Maibelle Justice, who now reside
in Chicago. Mr. Justices death was
sudden and he left no written record of
the history of the picture. Its present
owners say it was painted in 1860 and
was carried as a banner through the
campaign of that year. 1t is about Ok
10 feet and the figure OF Lincoln is
little larger than life size. 1t was at

statement and a dramatic manner of
delivery which awed floor and gal

Pigeons 0utwit a Hawk.

An observing Southern sportsman
told recently about flock of pigeons
that measured brains with a hawk and
came out on top in the contest. d.
S. Edwards owned flock Of pigeons,
which one day were cut off from their
cote by a large hawk. The pigeons
knew that if the hawk once got above
them one at least Of their number
would go to make the hawk a meal,
and so up they few in circles, perhaps
going higher than the hawk. The lat
ter kept under the pigeons and leis-
urely followed their laborious move
ments.
Then came a curious and unexpect.
ed sight to Mr.. Edwards. Every pig
con closed its wings, and they appear:
ed to be the size of sparrows, and
down. they came past the haw k at a
terrific rate. That astonished the
hawk. It actually lodged the drop
ping birds and missed half a dozen
wing strokes before it got in full chase
of them. When it got down to the
barnyard not pigeon was in sight
some were in the cote, some in the
porch, two in the well house and one
in the kitchen. The hawk had been
outwiAed completely. 1t is ques'
tion how the pigeons managed tt
check their fall, as they did not slack
en- up till they were about sixteen OF
twenty feet above the ground, when
they scattered in all directions to es'
cane the hawk.-Sports Afeld.

Do Away With Postage Stamps.

A very good suggestion has been

methods. This sticking stamps on

If someone would devise a means of

make an everlasting fortune and have
his craven image set up in Central
Park as a token of gratitude.
Women do not care to put their ton
CUES to the stamps, so they moisten

stead. The whole plan is crude and
disagreeable.
But suppose man has two hundred
letters to send. To put stamp on
each requires time, and time is money.
You may possibly lose the mail be-
cause you are compelled to 60 through
the "gum stick en- process.
The suggestion is this: That we
ought to have the same privileges in
this country which prevail in Eng

may do up bundle of letters, send
them to the Office with the postage

done.
