The Worst of LII.

President Lincoln's reputation as
humorist rests largely upon the good
stories he could tell, or invent, to il
lustrate point. Sometimes, never
theless, he exhibits himself as 4 joker
in another way, as in this Gnecdote
narrated by Harpers Round Table:
One day Lincoln and a certain judge,
an intimate friend, were bantering
each other about horses, a favorCa
topic. Finally, Lincoln said:
We'll. look here, judge, I'll tell you
what I'll do. I'll make horse-tralle
with you, only it must be upon these
stipula tons: Neither party shall see
the others horse until it is produced
here in the courtyard Of the hotel, and
both parties must trade horses. II
either party backs out of the agree
twenty-five dollars

he and Lincoln went in search OF their
respective animals.
A crowd gathered, anticipating some
fun. and when the judge returned first

rather dragged, at the end of batter
the meanest, boniest rib-staring quad
ruped, blind in both eyes, that ever

came along carrying over his shoulder
a carpenters horse. Then the mirth
of the crowd was furious. Lincoln
solemnly set his horse down, and 81
lently surveyed the judges animal
with a comical look of infinite disgust.

OF THE REVOLUTION.
Seven Pensioners Whose Husbands
Sn,-uol LIZ, Io. 1ynal,srr4o..

Seven Pensioners Whose husbands
Serve I'm Ter Washington.
"Seyen women are still dra awning pen
siOns as the widows Of men who saw
active service in the war of the revolu-
ton: women whose husbands served
under Washington more than a hun
dred and twenty years ago."
writes Clifford Howard in the La
dies Home Journal. "The eldest
of these surviving widows of the
revolution is living at Los Angeles,
California. She is Mrs. Lovey 4Aldrich,
now in the nnety-eighth year Of her
age. Her husband was Private Caleb
Aldrich, who was born in the year 1853,
and served as soldier boy in the New
England campaigns of the war. Mrs.
Nancy Jones, of Jonesborough, Tenn,
whose husband was Darling Jones, a
private in one of the North Carolina
regiments, is the youngest of the revo-
lutionary widows, being now about SO
years Of age. The other five are Nancy
Cloud, who is living at Chum, Virginia,
and is the widow Of Sergeant William
Cloud, of Captain Christians Virginia
line; Esther S. Damon, of Plymouth
Union, Vermont, whose husband was
Private Noah Damon, of Massachu-
sctts; Mary Snead, living at Parksley,
Virginia, widow of Private Bowdoin
Snead; Nancy A. Weatherman, who
lives at Elk Mills, Tennessee, and
whose first husband was Robert Glas-
cock, a fifer in one of the Virginia regi-
ments; and Rebecca Mayo, living at
Newbern, Virginia, widow of Stephen
Mayo, a soldier from Virginia. That
these women can be the widows Of
revolutionary soldiers is readily under
stood in view of the fact that their hus-
bands were well on in years when they
married. AS, for example, when Esther
Sumner married Noah Damon in the
year 1S35-fftytwo years after the
close of the war-she was but twenty
one, while he was seventy-six. The last
revolutionary widow pensioner who
had married prior to the close of the
war, and had therefore actually lived
during revolutionary times, was Nancy
Serena, widow of Daniel r. Brakeman.
She died about twentyseven years ago,
only year or two after her husband,
who was the last Of the revolutionary
soldiers on the pension roll"

Why He Was Anxious.

There was sleight-of-h perform
ance in the opera house that night, and
way down on the front seats there sat
a man holding shiny silk hat osten-
tatiously before him with an express
sion Of deep anxiety and watchfulness
upon his face.
Before the performance began a
friend who sat Immediately behind him
and had noticed his manner, leaned
over and asked him what the trouble
was.
well, you see, Tom," said the man
with the hat, confidentially, Its this
way: I've been in politics now for ten
years, and I've been cussed and abused
and called all sorts o. hard names I'M
tt q just longing to hear somebody
address me in q decent manner one
more time. When this magician comes
on the stage he's going to say: will
some gentleman kindly loan me his
hat? and I'm going to lump up and
give him mine It'll make me feel
good for month to be spoken TO in
that way. I've been looking forward
to this occasion for two weeks. You'll
excuse me now, for I'll have to jump
quick when he speaks, for l see one of
our Aldermen sitting on the front row
with his old brown derby in his hand,
and I'll bet dollar he's up to the same
ame."-Detroit Free Press.

Oranges Sailed Like Hams.

In order to insure the proper preser-
walton of oranges and lemons, these
fruits are sailed in Italy as hams are
here, although the process is slightly
different. The fruit is culled while
still green and carefully examined.
Those found fawless are placed into
salt water, where they are left for
from three to eight days, according to
their state of maturity. They are then
put away on shelves to dry and rest.
Before being used they are placed into
fresh water untH the taste of salt is
entirely gone. This treatment pre-
serves the fruit with all it's succulen.
and aromatic qualities.

Owing to a grievance between the en-
ployes of the key shop and the Menasha
Wooden Ware Company, the men have re-
fused to work and the shop has suspended
operations for the present. The men claim
that they have been asked to submit to a
reduction in the scale of wages ranging
from Is to so cents per 100 pieces. The
company officers state that all that is re-
quired is that the men work ten hours 4
day for a full days pay. Heretofore the
men have worked shorter hours and re-
ceived a full days wages. There is no
change in the scale, according to the state
ments made at the wooden ware Offices.

interstate oratorical contest have been
dropped on the decision of a majority of
the Normal schools that it is better that

is satisfied with that arrangement He
says the contest was carried on in no
personal spirit, and he will support Mr..
Kelly. The fact that his Grafton was
printed was no indication, he said, that
he intended to carry the contest to En-
poria. That step was taken at the adj
vice of the president, in order that Wis

refusing to accept the proposed reduction
having been made by the union. 1t now
