LlNCOLN'S RESOLVE.
1t Was Made After He Had Heard Stan.
ton In Law Case.

II WIS madn Alter lie Had Heard STAN
ton In a Law Case.
There is in all truly great men mix
ture of self reliance and of humility
two traits that are not so contradictory
as they seem. Lincoln exhibited both
traits i'll remarkable degree. His acts
showed the one, his words frequently
expressed the other.
An anecdote in McClure's Magazine,
in an article by Ida III. Tarbell, if we
read it Alright, brings out the secret of
this apparent contradiction. Linooln's
humility impelled him to the exertion
which gave him his self confidence. The
anecdote uarrates the first meeting of
the man who was to be president with
the man who was to be his secretary of
war.
Abraham Lincoln and Edwin M.
Stanton were employed as counsel on
the same side in great patent case
which was tried in Cincinnati in 1856.
1t was arranged by their clients-mucb
to Lincoln IS isappointment-tha STAN
ton should make the closing argument.
Lincoln had prepared himself for the
effort with unusual care, but he ac-
guessed good naturally in the decision
which put him in the second place.
Stanton's argument was one of great
force, and Lincoln listened to it with
the closest attention throughout. The
narrator of the incident, Mr.. Ralph
Emerson, says that Mr.. Lincoln took a
long walk with him after the court had
adjourned for the day. Mr.. Lincoln
was silent long time. Then he ex-
claimed suddenly:
Emerson.sI am going homel am
going home to study law
''Why, returned Nj. Emerson, "Mr.
Lincoln, you stand at the head of the
bar in Illinois nowf What are you talk
ing about?''
"Ah, yes, ;" he said, 81 do occupy a
good position there. and I think can
get along with the vaY things are done
there now. But these college trained
men, who have devoted their whole
lives to study, are coming west, don't
you see? And they study their cases as
we never do They have got as far as
Cincinnati now. They will soon be in
Illinois.
Another long pause; then, stopping
and turning toward Mr. Emerson, his
countenanoe suddenly assuming. that
look of strong determination which
those who knew him best sometimes
saw upon his face, he exclaimed:
II am going home to study lawl 1
am as good as any of them, and when
they get out to Illinois I will be ready
for theml'

HATS OFF TO GENTLEMEN.

What Did the Girls Mean by Their Re-
marks In the Elevator?
They entered the elevator together
They were dressed alike. They wore
felt hats and coats, not unlike the sack
coats worn by men, which, open i'll
front, disclosed waistcoats. A rundown
collar was around the throat of each,
with small black neekties. They didn t
wear trousers or even boomers, but
their skirts were close fitting, and every
man in the elevator knew instinetively
that they were coveting the coverings
which they had for their limbs. They
wore their hair cut short.
N When they entered, the men simply
stared at them. No one ventured to re-
move his hat in accordance with the
time hnnasea custom which provides
sll ! lnlen should show their
ference to tue haenabers of the opposite
sex. Perhaps they were too surprised at
the apparition. Perhaps they thought
that the women, being unusually strong
minded. would be vexed instead Of

said. although very few persons have
ever seen any Of them e
Whatever might have been passing
through the mems minds in the few
seconds which the journey from top to
bottom required, they were awakened
from their reyeries when one of the
young wQlneli exclaimed in loud
=
Jean, why don you take off your
HAITI Don't you see that we are in the
presence Of gentlemen?'
That remark served to cause every
man in the car to turn red and white
by turns. Every mans hand went in
stinctively to his hat, but all but one
were quickly stopped. The exception
removed his hat and was evidently en-
-barrassed because he had unconsciously
taken the hint.
But he took his revenge. In an ordi-
nary tone of voice he remarked to an
other man:
cit is SO hard nowadays to tell men
from women that l am not surprised at
their mistake, nor at ours
Some scathing retort might have been
made, but just then the elevator stop
ped and every man rushed from the
car whether it was his floor or not

PLEASE LET US GO AND PLAY.

While, working at my desk today,
Striving to put my thoughts in rhyme,
heard my little children say
What oft said in olden time,
Before my hair had turned to gray,
Before times wrinkles creased my brow,
"Please, mother, do not keep us now,
But let US go and playl'
Their plaintive voices came to me
From the adjoining chamber, whe-e
Both wife and children could seq
When seated in my easy chair
She kissed them tenderly, and they
With joyous shouts went to their game.
They could not hear my heart exclaim,
"Oh, would that we could playl"
God, pray that thou wilt leave
Their mother here until my boys
Can comprehend that they but grieve
Themselves when they leave her for toys
Oh, they II remember when they pray
For their dear mother, when she's dead
How often they to her have said,
"Please let us go and playl''
Aye. in this life from day to day
Unknowingly we oft disdain
Our blessings, and but wish for pain
When we scorn sacrifice for play.
