Sane Advice to Young Artists.

do not believe, ne said, III the in
sidious lie that the devil is always
whispering to the Soul of the artist
that the golden age of art is past and
that what was done yesterday cannot be
done today, Tor art is in its decadence
Such an assertion was the danger of the
time, and he would have them track it
to its source and kill it there. 1t had
two forms-despondency and tempta-
tion-but he urged them not to be i'll
fuenced by either. Let their study be
based upon knowledge, the knowledge
that had accumulated during the ages
and was formulated in what was known
as academic training and let their
knowledge in turn be based upon their
own study"
Certainly that is the best of advice
for what has besn done before can be

ABE LlNCOLN'S CHlVALRY,
Helped a Lawyer, Now Famous, to Win
His First Case.

His first case at the bar viii never be
forgotten by t.--Senltor John G.. S.
Blackburn Of Kentucky, for Abraham
Lincoln played conspicuous part in
helping the young kentuckian to win
his suit. Lincoln was merely an attor-
ney, waiting for one Of his cases to be
called, when the incident occurred.
Ex-senator Blackburn was only 20
years old when he began the practice of
law, having graduated at Centre col
lege, Danyille, Ky. His first case was
in tho United States court in Chicago
presided over by Justice John Mclean,
then Oh the circuit. The opposing coIn-
sci was Isaac =. Arnold, at the
head Of the Chicago bar, and subse-
quentiy a member Of congress and au-
thor Of the first biography Of Lincoln
Young Blackburn had filed a demurrer
to Mr.. Arnold's pleadiugs in the cause,
and when the case was reached On the
calendar the young kentuckian was
quite nervous at having such formida-
BILE and experienced antagonist, while
the dignity Of the tribunal and the pres
ence of q large number of eminent law
yers in court served to increase his I'll
nudity and embarrassment In truth the
STRIPPING barrister was willing to have
any disposition made of the cause in
order to get rid Of the burden of en-
barrassnlent and stage fright He was
ready to adopt any suggestion the op-
posing counsel should make.
Arnold made az argument IN which
ne criticised the demurrer IN a manner
that increased the Young lawyers con-
fusion. However, blackburn knew lie
had to make some kind of ar effort. He
proceeded with a few remarks. veal,
and bewildering, and was about to sit
down when a tall. homely, loose Joint
ed man sitting in the bar arose ard ad-
dressed the court in behalf of the posi-
ton the Young Kertuckian had assumed
in feeble and tangled argument, max
ing the points so clear that the court
sustained the demurrer.
Blackburn did not know who his vol
unteer friend was, and Mr.. Arnold got
up and sought 70 rebuke the latter for
attempting to interfere III the case
which he had nothing TO do with This
volunteer was none other than Abraham
Lincoln, and this was the first and last
time the Kentuckian ever saw the rail
splitting president. In replying TO Mr.
Arnold's structures Mr.. Lincoln said he
claimed the privilege of giving young
lawyer a helping hand when struggling
with his first case, especially when he
was pitted against an experienced prac-
titioner.-Chicago Times Herald

Victim Of CiRs rett 90.

Harry Hamlin, OF Pearia, died sud-
denly last week. it is alleged, from
the effects Of cigarette smoking A
post norton examination was made,
and the Star speaks Of its results as
follows:
ION opening the body the doctors
we're astonished at the condition Of
the lungs OF the deceased. Nothing
liko them had ever been seen By
them before or read of in their text
books or descriptive works. Today
they are puzzled for terms to tech
nically describe than. AL that they
can say is that the lungs were in Il
complete state Of collapse, and were
lifted out Just as IL they were q wet
discharge. There Was not patti
Gle of air in them, and il is a mys-
terry to the doctors how the man
lived, how every trace of air left his
lungs and how they came to be in
that condition. The lungs were all
intact. There were no traces OF dis
case, save they were covered with
blush black spots, and that in the
rear there were few nodules about
the size Of beans, but not necessarily
distressful. The professional belief
is that the collapsed condition Of the
respiratory apparatus WAS caused b.
excessive cigarette smoking and the
drawing OF The smoke into the lungs.
They had been literally dried, and
when the collapse came it came all
at once"

Cat baskets are made especially for
the convenient carrying Of cats in trav-
cling. and they are also used to some
extent for small dogs. Those of Ameri-
can manufacture are made of whole
willow and are oblong in shape. Cat
baskets imported from Germany are
rather more costly, and are made of
split willow. The German cat basket is
oval in form, made larger at the top
than at the bottom, and with the top
finished rounding. There is in the side
of the basket a grated door of willow
rods, which opens on hinges and gives
the cat light and air In each end of
the basket, higher mp than the door,
there is 4 srnali square window.
Cat baskets are made i'll various sizes,
