How Lincoln Was saved from Drownin

AS ~ 10y.
However poor the Lincoln home may
have been, it affected the new child but
little. lie was robust and active, md
life is full of interest to the child happy
enough to be born in the country. He
had several companions. There was
his sister Nancy. or Sarah-both names
are given to her-two years his senior;
there was "a cousin of his mother, ten
years older; Dennis Hanks, m active
and ingenious leader in sports and mis-
chief, and there were h ncighbors'
boys. One Of the latter, Austin Cola
her, still tells with pleasure how he
hunted coons and ran the woods with
Young Lincoln, and once even saved his
life.

Finally we concluded to cross the creek

Lincoln had seen the day before. The
creek was swollen by n recent rain,
and in crossing on the narrow footing
Abe fell in. Neither of us could swim.
I got a long pole and held IL out to Abe,
who grabbed it. Then l pulled him
ashore. He was almost dead and I
was badly scared. l rolled and pound

him by the arms and shook him, the

A GREAT SATISFACTION.
How n Horse Got Even with . Brutal

A correspondent tells a story of u

strong that he seemed hardly to feel

ance gave out.
One hot morning the man reined the
horse in roughly by the curbstone.
On dismounting he seemed TO think
the wagon too near. and harshly or
dcrcd his stecd to back. emphasizing
the command with n cut from his whip.
The horse backed o~bedicntly. though
angrily, while the man. heated by his
cNcrtions, took of his coat, ard, having
hung IL over the dashboard, disap-
peared in the house.
The horse waited until the driver was
out of sight, then, looking around, he
saw the cont hanging only n short dis
tance from his heels. Instantly n
change came over him. Tie actually
seemed to laugh us he lifted one foot
and let 1t fly at the coat.

he began to beat a regular tattoo upon
it; first with one foot. then with the
other, and. finally, as he grew excited.

shafts and pretended to he watching

He didn't seem to mind the slaps the
driver gave him while picking up his

had to endure.
''The extent of my suffcrings can be
appreciated when l state that my con-
dition was such that I could not take
my bed, and for three months / never
laid down, but was compelled to sit in
my chair when not moving around. I
was treated by the best of physicians
with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. then went

results, and then to Mt. Clements, the

AN INCREASED N
THE LOADED CAR MOVEMENT IN
CREAsES NEARLY 1000 CARS.
Heavy Ira fic Over the Belt Road
The BOyco of the CIOver-Leaf
Attracts Much Attention.

The train records show that 94 more
loaded cars were received and forwarded at
indianapolis in the week ending Oct. II than
In the preceding week, and had west
bound business been as heavy as usual in
October through business would have been
at it's maximum. The loaded-car move
ment east-bound is seldom in excess of it's
present number. 1t is necessary to go back
to 1892 to find as heavy shipments of grain
and provisions as were made last week,
and could cars nave been commanded it
would have made even a more favorable
exhibit. Not an indianapolis line can fur
nish the cars called for. The Big Four and
Pennsylvania lines are hundreds Of cars
short of filing orders. Then shipments of
live stock and dressed meats continue to be
in excess of those Of any former year. In
shipments of produce, cerealine products
and -four the tonnage falls below that of
October, 1896. In west-bound business the
exhibit is the most unfavorable. Usually
in October the shipments of the higher
class freights are so heavy that II fur
nishes plenty of empty cars at Western
points to be reloaded and sent back East,
whi1e~this year thousands of cars are being
sent West empty to fill orders. Freight men
are hoping that matters will take such a
turn after election that some of the loss
in west-bound business will be overcome in
November. In the lower-class freights the
business has been heavier than last month.
There is a heavy movement of hard and
soft Goals with many of the roads, and
coal cars are m about as active demand as
are grain cars to carry corn to the sea-
board. But little lumber is now being ham
died. Local business continues to be dis
appointing, although more freight is be-
ing handled over the platforms of the city
freight depots than last month, but on the
bulk tracks 1T is not as heavy as in OctO-
Der, 1895. The billing, say freight agents,
shows that local manufacturers are selling
more goods than in the summer months,
but they are not shipping the freights they
usually do in fall months. The stock yards
and packing houses continue to dc moro
business than in the autumn of any preced-
ment for the week ending Oct. II and for
the corresponding weeks of 1885 and 1894:

A DISHONEST POLICY.
Free Cofnag of silver Is Simply n
Scheme of Partial COnfiscatiOn.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
To one who was born since 1860, and who
has no personal knowledge of the campaign
Of that year, but must look into history
to see how the people of this Nation re-
garded the great issues they We're to de-
eide with their ballots at the election IN
that year, it is next to impossible to under
stand how any man could have doubted
that it was his duty to vote against the
further extension Of human slavery. Yet,
in the Ncrthern States, where there was
no question Of slaves as property, the value
of which might be affected, the Republican
vote, although it amounted to a plurality
in every Northern State, was at no time
during the campaign so strong, so safe and
SO decided as it's result would indicate. 1t
was not the great moral wrong of treating
human beings as property that was at issue
in this campaign. All that the Republican
party requested the people to do was to
stop the extension of this immoral institu-
ton, that no more free soil should be al
lowed to be polluted by it. Strange as it
may seem, there were hundreds of thousands
of people, even in the Northern States.
who voted against Lincoln, and so close
was the State of New Jersey that three
of it's electoral votes were cast against
him. That good and honest men voted
against the Republican party there can be
no doubt. It's advocates said with all APP.
pearance of honesty that slavery was right.
They used every argument and defended
their position with logic and oratory.
Among them We're some of the greatest or
ators of that period. They said that sia-
very was founded upon the inferiority of
races, and that the raw material in animal,
as well as vegetable life, should serve civ
ilization. They asserted that the institu-
ton was as old as history, and they COM
menced away back in the morning of civ
il:zation, in the daybreak of human records
and from every page of history of the
world quoted proofs of the custom; they
took up the book of God, and, reading
from many pages, said their cause had its
righteousness in the very sanction of God.
That their arguments bewildered many
men cannot be doubted. When a former
promised to vote against the Republican
candidates, there was great rejoicing in the
party ne accepted, and it was said there
were others going TO change their votes
also.
But the brains of the North had weighed
well the issue involved. and, though the
conditions were entirely new TO them. they
think and the partisans that stumbled.
otherwise the result would have been
unanimous. 1t was the first campaign in
which the issue was wholly sectional. I'm
til 1896 not since the campaign of 1860 has
any party stood boldly before the people of
this Nation and asked US as a Nation to
commit a crime. 1t Will not do to say that

Name of road.
The CIover-Leaf Boycott.

r. B. F. PIERCE, receiver of the Toledo.
st. Louis & Kansas City. is not allowing the
threatened boycott to worry him. Hes says the
way he and some of the brightest railway
lawyers interpret the interstate-commerce
act, if the trunk lines honor the tickets of
the Wabash, a competing line, they must
accept those of the Toledo, ST. Louis &
Kansas City. The matter has not yet been
presented to Judge Woods, who appointed
Mr.. Peirce receiver of the road. When it Is
doubtless some action will be taken in the
matter. Much interest is taken in the pro-
posed boycott from the fact that the road
is in the hands of the court. The situation
suggests a lively controversy. An Eastern
paper says: Under the agreement of the
Joint Traffic Association the managers
have authority to order all association lines
to sever traffic relations with roads that
refuse to conform to their rules and regu-
lationS, in spite of the fact that a boycott
has been held to be an infraction of law.
Up to this time they have not seen fit to
exercise this p~rerogative, though doubtless
having on several occasions had sufficient
p~rovocation to do so. But now they have
decided to make the power of the associa-
ton felt by applying the screws to ar Of
tending line. The result will be to deter
mine just how effective the application can
be made, and whether the use of the au-
thority in question can be employed with
out becoming involved in a fight that may
possibly be carried into the courts"

Paris Letter IN LOndon Mail.
How soliritous the French are that the
Emperor should suffer not the slightest
Inconvenience. or be shocked in any way
by sight or sound, the following precau-
ton taken by the municipality will show.
Outside the Russian embassy in the Fau-
botlrg St. German the streets are paved
with asphalt 1t occurred to some one
that The Emperor might possibly find some
Inconvenience from the elatter of horses
hoogs on this; 1t was also recognized that
il Tlrtain conditions of weather arrived il
was possible that a horse might lose his
foothold. and that the horse might even
be one of those in the Emperor's carriage.
That settled il. An army of workrnen
were Immediately marched TO the spot.
They took up the asphalt pavement, and
put down q Few pavement of specially Sc
lected wood blocks. 1t would have been a
big undertaking for a Loadon vestry. and
1t must have cost a great deal OF money.
But that WAS not considered. There was
one chance In Il million to be guarded
against, and guarded against 1t was.
