ihe sake OF humanity. adore Lincoln
for his merciful character and for his
fearlessness in doing what he conceived
10 be his duty when he we'll knew that
his course would incur for him the i'll
Will of a large section of the nation.
It is true Of him indeed that he followed
the motto, Fright is greater than
might
What grar q act was this emanci-
patton CT the slaves. What did the
proclamation mean to the helpless, hu-
man chattles? 1t meant that the poor
creatures would no longer have to en-
dure the torture CT the lash, the shame
of the auctioneer's block, the cruel
separation cf kindred. Think of young
slave girl standing on the platform to
be sold like dumb beast, amid the
ribald jests of an unsympathlz1ng
crowd, and, then thank God that in this
glorious land of liberty, which united TO
repel British rule. we have no longer
the Infamous rule which permitted man
to own his feilow-man. There were
many great aboiir;cnists, out the greatest
Of these was Abraham Lincoln, for 1t
was his hand that forever broke the let
ters of the slave.
Although Lincoln was raised to the
highest pinnacle Ct greatness by his
countrymen he never forgot his humble
origin. The war president ever re-
mained modest and unassuming n
character. TO be great and to be un-
conscious cf greatness is, l think, a rare
and admirable quality. All, but now
terrible it seems that in the very hour
of his triumph he should have been
stricken to death by the hand CT an
assassin! No wonder the whole Wor!u
was startled by the sad news OF a trag-
edy that was worse than parrlclde.
Even those who had been opposed to
I4incoln's policy were quick to estimate
the true nobility CT his character, and
many were the tributes which foes and
friends alike paid to the memory OF the
nations martyr.

MARY STUART.

1t is not as one whose name suggests
brave and heroic deeds which would lift
her above the common level and place
her ON the pinnacle reserved for those
whose lives have merited that dfstinc-
ton. but for the endurance and forti-
tude which withstood for SO many years
as Incompatible with the dignity OF a
sovereign and contrary to the faith
which she professed, the Vaccinations
of her who left so foul blot upon the
name of "sister-Queen" Elizabeth
that choose above all others as worthy
of love and admiration the name OF
Mary Stuart. .,.e
Reared in the court Of France and ac-
customed to every luxury and indul-
gence, it was unnatural 10 expect the
young queen to comprehend the charac-
ter and adapt herself Immediately to the
customs of her Scottish subjects, and if.
as John Knox observed, "a dark cloud
fell upon Scotland when Mary Stuart
reached it's sheres," how much darker
must have been the cloud which fell
upon Mary's heart when time proved
how few and and weak were her friends
and how many and powerful her enc
mics?
Truly did she find "the weight Of roy
atty pressing too heavily on her brow,
and little wonder that she welcomed the
arrival Of the day when her weary head
found IS repose upon the block" Strange
irony OF fate that queen should say
that her JOY began upon her dying
day."
Hers was a noble, a truly noble and
heroic nature, despite the faults that
were the result of her education ana of
the age in which she lived. and I trust
the day is net far distant when the name
Of her I love and reverence shall be
written, "Blessed Mary of Scot.and!"

Sketch Of h. w. Gauding-Gen-

For some time past the La Belle
Company has been employing about
twenty nailers, running seventy-nlne
machines, and working from one TO
three or four days week. Yesterday
and Friday these nailers received no
tice in their envelopes that their SER
vices were no longer required, owing
to dull trade conditions and the state
Of the cut nail market.
Yesterday it was learned tnat
some of the old men had been re-em-
ployed and that ten nailers IN all
would be put to work, running 1O9
machines among them, instead OF the
seventy-nine run by the twenty men
under the old arrangement, and that
the factory would start up tomorrow
under this arrangement for steady
run. The result will be that Ven
nailers will be out Of employment,
while ten will have work, doing extra
work on the additional machines for
the same pay. The factory has had
a good deal of trouble under the old
arrangement, for after few days OF
a lay-off there was always trouble get
ting the boys together, as they would
go off fishing or become scattered In
other ways.

FOR THE BABY.
a valuable Hint to Every Father and
Mother

A valuable Hint to Every Father ana
Mother.
There are two kinds of babies in the
world; the kind who have TOO niue
nourishment and the kind VINO nave
too much.
The first kind Of babies starye De-
cause their stomachs are too weak TO
digest the amount of food necessary
for their growth and healthful devei-
opment and the other kind are over
fed with the result that the delicate
stomach and inteStines are infamed
and as every mother knows, thousands
of infants die yearly when warm
weather begins, from stomach ana
bowel disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrups and cathar-
tics, however mild, are not what is de-
manded. Go to the root of the trouble,
assist the child's digestion, give the
little stomach the aid necessary TO
thoroughly and promptly digest its
food and the little one will thrive and
grow and gladden. the mothers heart.
To give perfect digestion TO the child
it is -snly necessary TO give in pleas
ant form the harmless digestive con-
tanned in the we'll known tablets sold
in drug stores under the name or
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets contain no so-called
drugs, but are composed OF pepsin,
pure aseptic, fruit acids, starch diges-
tives and are put up in lozenge form,
with sugar of milk, very pleasant 10
the taste, and have been used for
years as the safest, best remedy for
any form of indigestion and stomach
troubles in adults, but recently many
remarkable cures have been made in
the cases of weakly babies who failed
to grow and thrive as they should.
A Buffalo mother short time ago
who despaired of the life of her babe,
was so delighted with the results from
giving the child these tablets that she
went before the notary public Of Erie
county, n. Y, and made the following
affidavit:
Gentlemen-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets were recommended TO me for my
two months old baby, which was sick
and puny and the doctors said was
suffering from indigestion. took the
child to the hospital. but there found
no relief. A friend mentioned the
Stuart Tablets and / procured box
from my druggist and used only the
large sweet lozenges in the box and
was delighted to find they were just
the thing for my baby

arts Dyspepsia Tablets saved my

For babies, no matter how young or
