LINCOLN IN HISTORY.

Last Wednesday, February ~, was
celebrated throughout the country as
the birthday OF that noble patriot, Abra-
ham Lincoln. Born in an ordinary
Kentucky log cabin, in the year 1909, OF
poor parents he rose to the highest office
within the gift OF the people and accom-
plished more for the cause OF liberty and
humanity than any other man who
holds place in the history OF this great
republic. His boyhood days were those
OF q backwoodsman's life, which un-
doubtcdly had much to do with the
moulding of that hold and fearless char
actsr-tempered with justice and right
which made him the greatest leader
and emancipation OF his time. At the
opening OF 1868 his famous Emancipa
don Proclamation appeared and slavery
in the country was crushed. The fol
lowing April the bullet OF the assassin
Wilkes Booth, ended the career OF the
sreat war president, whose name will
live in history until the end OF civiliza
ton.

approve Senator Dubois position on the

lisves in protection and the free coinage

The free silver bill was voted down in
the house. Senators Dubois, Carter and
other western republicans voted against
the tariff bill and defeated it in the
s.nate. They did right and should pur,
sue that policy to the end. Ii the east
will not give the west and south free
coinage therei is no good reason why
these sections should vote to protect
eastern interests. 1t makes no differ
ence whether the country goes to ruin
nnder free trade or gold monometalism
either one will accomplish that end in
about the same time. The republican
party cannot carry the elections in tbs

free coinage OF silver and protection will
win. Dubois action will be end rsed
by the people.

The Philadelphia American, in COM
menting on the free silver substitute for
the bond bill lays down a few rules
which it would be well for the friends 1
silver to remember. 1t says that "the
measure goes to the House with Il e
weight which rightly attaches to a de-
cision Of ths Senate freely reached, after
full and open discussion. The House
should be grateful to the Senate for Civ
ilgit this opportunity to discuss the me st
live question OF our politics. Under the
rule of Mr.. Reed, as reinforced by new
regulations, it is quite impossible to
originate in the House discussion oil
any subject, which may prove embar-
RAISING to him as Republican candi
date. But what the Senate has voted
must be discussed, under whatever re-
strictions, OF course as to the time
allowed, which Mr.. Reed and his steering
committee may allow. The newspapers
which were hopeful OF the defeat Of the
measure in the Senate, are confident oil
its defeat in the House. They may be
right, but We hope they are not. Every
member OF the House knows that he il
taking responsible step in voting upon
this measure. Every constituency j.
divided upon it, and the slvel
men are organized sufficient,
to hold representatives to account ir
nominating conventions and at the polls
for q negative vote. Ii they are solidl,
convinced, by arguments unknown t.
us and never published, that it is goot
thing to 90 on with a standard OF money
which is changing steadily in favor o
the creditor classes and nations, lei
them say SO by their vote, and take tn,
consequences. But if they are going t.
cast vote in question they have no
mastered, simply because Mr.. CLEVELAND
and Mr.. Reed are on agreement about it
it is only fair that their constituent
should warn them that their course i
politically unsafe as well as harmful (,

the friends of silver everywhere t
write to their representative in Congress
to show them that there is a solid con
yic;ion in every constituency in favor O
a return to our old monetary policy"

the people if the music was not given as
printed on the programme. They had a
duet in the ode and it was not possible to
have 1t without them. He prevailed in
the end and the principal announced that
the music would all be sung, to the great
Joy of the scholars.
Washington's birthday proved to be
another delightful aboriginal summer
dav i'll February, at least in the morning,
though itdid not last quite all day. The
scholars OF the high school dined at home
and were on the lawn in readiness to take
the barges that were to convey them to
"Fairyland," as Mr.. Blanker had pre-
sumptuously named his place, at
o'clock in the afternoon. The lake was
very pretty, with small forest on the
farther side of it, but ttere was little else to
remind one of the stories read in child
hood.
as everything ready out at your house
for the great time, PHILIP" asked Lucy
Archer, as considerable group gathered
around the teller's son.
Everything is ready, but when my
father got home rather late Yesterday
afternoon he found that the flagstaff man
had promised to set up had not been
DONE replied Phil. ''He had to work till
near midnight to set itup himself. Mother,
Phoebe and l had to help him stand ii up
in the hole dug for it a bout 10 clock in the
evening. Then he sent US all TO bed in
order to be ready for it TO-DAY and filled
up the hole himself"
s'You had a hard time of it," added
Lucy. 81 should think Mr.. Banker could
have found men enough to do the work"

distinguished consideration by the teller
and cheered by the crowd in general.
The scholars had taken their places at
the foot OF the flagstaff on a platform pro-
vided for them. Another was erected for
the magnates of the town and all were
airs as an overture, and slid off them into
America, /" whereupon the singers rose
and sang the hymn.
One of the clergymen of the place then
invoked the divine blessing and the gen.
eral was properly announced as the orator
of the occasion Iii falsome speech by the
teller of the bank. The Grafton was very
long and very dry and the patience of the
young men and maidens of the High
School was sorely tried by the infliction.
1t was :15 O'Clock when it was finished
and volley of sighs went up from the
singers seats when the end came. Moth
ing could hurry the general in his dis
course, not even the fearfully black and
threatening clouds that were piling them
selves up in the west and he could omit
no portion OF his account of his ancestry,
from whom the name OF the town was de-
rived.
AS ne finished sharp flashes of lightning
blinded the eyes of the audience and deaf
ening peals of thunder nearly stunned
them. Mr.. Blanker hastened the proceed
lngs, and the flag was run up by his own
hands, with salvo of artillery. At
the same time Phil hoisted halfway up
the staff something like the topsaii of a
ship. on which appeared the name of the
lake in large letters, Lake Washington,
named in honor of the Father of his Coun-
try" The band played 1.-The Star-spangled
Banner and the choir sang it.
Mr.. Banker then rose on the platform,
and emitting the speech he had intended
to make, announced the ode, written for
the occasion by Percival Lane, the hon
ored principal ot the high school. In spite
of the tempest that was gathering it was
sung with brilliant effect by the scho lars,
and the voices OF both Conrad and Olga
could be easily distinguished in the genera
harmony, and the solo was applauded as
though no storm blackened the sky.

ga man was engaged to do it yesterday
afternoon, but he did not come as he had
promised" added Phil. "But here are the
barges. The fare is half a dollar out and
back"
The scholars formed merry party and
the girls began to sing as soon as they
were seated and kept it up till they ar
rived at 'Fairyland." They were more
inclined to row in the two boats on the
lake than to do anything else. B y 8
o'clock, the h our appointed for the exer-
lses, there was quite a large collection of
cpeople gathered on the premises. General
Gainbridg came in his carriage precisely
at the time and was received with the most

Suddenly the wind began to howl. and
violent squall came down upon the
scene. Most of the people fed to the
house and barn, for great drops of rain be-
gan to pelt them. The flagstaff bent like
a willow rod The inscription was carried
into the lake, and then the pole itself went
by the board. 1t had been mortlsed into
timber cross, which was rooted out of
the ground, as tree displays its roots in
q hurricane
Those near it saw box thrown up in
the upheaval Conrad ran to the hole in
spite of the drencning rain. 1t was box
OF gold from the bank vault.
Mr.. Banker. who had retired from the
rostrum to the piazza of the house, saw
the flagstaff go down and the box thrown
up from the bowels of the earth like a de-
mon from the internal regions to confront
him. He tainted dead away and was
borne to his chamber. The rain was soon
over, and great crowd gathered around
the ragged hole. Among them was Gen
eral Gain bridge.
THAT is the box stolen from the vault
of the bank!'' exclaimed the president.
''The teller was the robber, and not the
casher!"
THAT is why Mr.. Banker had to set the
flagstaff himself" said Ben Barron, as
Phil and Phoebe ran into the house, as
thoroughly overwhelmed as Conrad and
Olga had been.
The girls hugged and kissed Olga, and
the boys grasped the hands of Conrad, and
their congratulations were as hearty as
they were sincere. The generals carriage
was taken to the hole. Two strong men
placed the box in it, and it was driven to
the bank where it was deposited in the
vault. The general was just man if he
was naughty and severe, and his carriage
proceeded at once to the County Jail Mr..
Blnntield was promptly released, the gen.
eral declaring that his innocence had been
made apparent to a multitude of people
by the direct interposition of Providence.
The general carriage conveyed the cashier
to his nome, and scene such as need not
be described followed. The flag had been
raised, and SO had the box of treasure

MARGIE VISITS FAIRYLAND.
FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
$50, no, my little lady, you are tired of
washing dishes, tending baby and going
errands, and wish that you might run
away to Fairy land, where everything is
lovely, and there is no work, bat always
play?'
Margie from her seat on grassy knoll
startled, looked wonderingly about her to
see whence came the funny little piping
voice.
There, right in front of her perched on
swaying larkspur was the querest tiny
man! He was dressed in brown knee
breeches, had golden slippers on his feet,
and wore on his head an odd pointed blue
cap covered with small silver bells, which
tinked sweetly as he balanced himself on
one wee foot.
$50 you wish to go to Fairyland," he
laughingly said. while Margie rubbed her
eyes in establishment. She could scarcely
realize that her wish was about to come
true, and that a really truly fairy stood
before her.
Prince Silver Bells waved his wand as he
spoke and Margie felt herself lifted And
waited very swiftly through the air.
She closed her eyes to keep from getting
dizzy and when she opened them she
found herself in a very beautiful place.
more beautiful than she had ever dreamed
of.

her lot in life, your highness." Prince
Silver Bells said as he salu'ed his dainty
but majestic queen. presenting the trem-
bling but delighted Margie.

looked upon the blue-eyed, golden-haired
child well pleased.

er, if your father was shut up in the
county Jail, " interposed Ben Barron, big
hearted fellow with big fists, and perhaps
both OF them caused him to be respected
for he would not stand by and see a weak
boy or girl imposed upon.
MY father is not in the county jail, -
protested Philip violently.
Il did not say he was, though perhaps
he ought to be-" replied Ben very i'm
properly, but Philip was bully and his
father was one of the most unpopular men
in the town on account of his naughty and
overbearing manner.
IF you say that again there will be a
fght!" growled Phil, with his fists doubled
up for business. though nobody who knew
him believed he would use them.
ut is not necessary to say it again, and
l shall not do so. 1t looks just now as if
your father would be the next cashier Of
the bank, Phil, but it is not worth while
to put on any airs yet,' said Ben quietly.
What is the trouble here?' inquired
Mr. Lane, the principal as he came upon
the spot and heard exciting words as he
approached.
Nothing" replied Phil, turning away.
Conrad and Olga BinnfieId will not at
tend the celebration" said Lucy.
"Will not attendr p exclaimed the prin-
cipal. "You cannot do the singing with
out them; but | can see the reason, and
am very sorry for them"
eve are all very sorry for them except
Phil and Phoebe" added Lucy.
II will see Conrad and Olga, and per-
haps they can be induced to change their
minds" added Mr.. Lane, as he saw the
son and daughter of the cashier seated by
themselves. away from the others.
He sat down in front OF them and took
the right hand OF each. He expressed his
sympathy in the tenderest and most af-
fectionate terms and both of them burst
into tears. He begged them not to de-
spair and hoped ana believed their father
would come out of the ordeal without the
smell of fire upon him.
Then he spoke of the celebration, of the
preparations that had been made for it
and the disappointment of the class and
