other in blue, and whenever they accom-
pnny the khan to tho chase they wear this
livery in order to be recognized. Out OF
each body of ZOO there are 1000 men
who are each in charge Of one or more great

LINCOLN REMEMBERED.
And the Confederate Captain Riddle Was
Released From Prison.

A Kentucky contributor sends to Tho
Youths Companion a pleasing anccdotc of
Abraham Lincoln. II has never before
been published, he SAYS, and was received
by him from the other party to the story,
who is still living in Kentucky 1t illus
trates once more the genial, friendly tenn
per of the great war president During the
presidential campaign of 1870, when Con
cral william Horny Harrison was the Wing
candidate, Lincoln, then young man just
rising into prominence, accepted an lnN-
tatiOn to address an audience in Union
county, Ky, at Wing barbecue.
He was met at n landing on the Ohio
river about ten miles from the place of the
barbecue by a committee headed by Cap
tain George W. Riddle and was escorted to
the meeting seated in spring wagon by
the side of Captain Riddle, the driver.
On the road Mr.. Lincoln entertained the
committee with several amusing ancc-
dotcs and on arriving at his destination
delivered nm able and eloquent address
probably the only address that he ever de-
livered in his native state
After the speaking Captain Riddle, who
commanded military company, fired
salute in honor of the orator of the day,
but the cannon, an old six FOUNDER, was
overcharged and exploded, though with
out any serious results. Captain Riddle
raised a subscription to pay Mr. Lincoln's
expenses, contributing literally himself,
and then escorted him back to the river.
The future president WAS much pleased
with his visit and so expressed himself.
Many years passed Mr.. Lincoln was
elected chief magistrate of the nation, and
the civil war broke out. Captain Riddle
took sides with the south and having eX-
pressed his opinions rather boldly was ar
rested for treason and sent to Camp Chase,
u military prison.
at WAS dull and gloomy place for
me-" said the old gentleman in relating
the story, "and after had remained there
about ten days got homesick and con-
cluded would remind my friend Lincoln
of bygone hours. SO wrote to him Us fol

have not forgotten 1T. Now sir, you have me
IN tow, and am your prisoner here IN Camp
Chase am lonesome and homesick and want
to get back to my old WIFE Please let me go.
Yours truly, GEORGE W. RIDDLE"
When Mr. Lincoln received this letter,
he laughed heartily and at once wrote up
on the back of it: "Please let Captain
George W. Riddle 90 home. A. Lincoln

Art In NIautclpieCcS.

But few years ago the choice In man

with u prediction in favor of tho latter
material, perhaps, in the best examples,

now a new material, or rather an old ma

favor, and the beautiful and artistic, orna-
mental, unglazed brick mantcl is deserv'
ing more than popular notice. These man.
tells are built up in an endless variety OF
hoppy combinations that can be made from
the various shapes of bricks manufactured.
These bricks arc pressed in molds prepared
from patterns of Greek and renaissance
designs, and the effect is that of carved

red, cream, buff, pink, brown and gray

MnutlorA of ISaalbeC.

Baalbec or Baalbek is the namo given
ruined city lying in ancient Coele-Syria,
As miles northwest of Damascus There
is nothing particularly remarkable about
ruined city being found in the locality
mentioned, but the size Of tho blocks of
stone used by tho ancient builders OF this
particular city is something that has puz-
zled the modern engineers since the day
when Baabec was first made the Mecca OF
the oriental traveller. There arc immense
stones on every side of the visitor to this
ancient pile of ruins, but the three most
remarkable blocks-said to be the largest
ever used in the construction of Il building
are in a wall back of tho Temple Of Baal.
These immense stones arc respectively "a,
CO and G2 feet in length and each Is Is
feet in thickness, but tho most wonderful
thing in connection with them is the fact
that they are at place in tho wall 20 feet
from the ground. How these immense
blocks of granite were ever raised to such
a height is question that has never yet
boon answered st. Louis Hepublic.
