Whistle Too Big.

Some of the most amusing anec-
dotes are told about President Lin
coin relating to incidents of his life
when he was young lawyer prac-
ticing in the courts of Illinois. 1t is
said that he was once engaged in a
case in which the lawyer on the
other side made a very voluble
speech full of wild statements to
the jury. Lincoln opened his reply
by saying: my friend who has
just spoken to you would be all
right if it were not for one thing,
and don't know that you ought to
blame him for that, for he can't
help it. What refer to is his reck-
less statements without any ground
of truth. You have seen instances
of this in his speech to you. Now,
the reason of this lies in the consti-
tuition of his mind. The moment he
begins to talk all his mental opera
tlons cease, and he is not response

tie steamboat that / saw on the
Sangamon river when I was en-
gagged in boating there. This little
steamer had a foot boiler and a
z foot whistle, and every time
it whistled the engine stopped. -

Rock Pictures.

There are upon the face of the
basaltic rock in Lake county, Or, a
large number of pictures of Indians,
animals, birds and reptiles of vari-
Gus sorts. They have evidently been
cut with some sharp instrument,
and the work is very creditable,
some of the drawings being excel
lent. The figures and pictures are
arranged in rows and groups. 1t is
thought that the pictures resemble
those found in Central America and

NEW PARTY PROPOSED
AMALGAMATlON OF ALL
THE BRYAN FORCES.
To BE Named the American Party-Pri-
snaries to BE Hold All Over the Conn
try on July Fourth to Elect Delegates
to q National Congress.

CHICAGO, March 13.-An effort is to
/ be made to effect permanent ANAL
| gamation of the factions which were
allied in the support of w. j. Bryan.
Several conferences have recently boen
held in Chicago, at which the situation
! was discussed and u decision reached
that some steps should be taken to
prevept the threatened disruption of
what may be termed the reform forces.
The April number of New Occasions,
IA radical magazine published in Chica-
go, voices the sentiment OF those who
have been in conference in an address
which calls for the abandonment of
old party lines ard reorganization
unler the name of the American party.
The editorial proposes novel
method of forming a party platform
and organization. 1t suggests that
"At noon of July next the American
people meet in the respective town
ships, precincts or voting places ant
organize by voting precincts all over
the United States Each precinct
should elect one representative to
WE iCooiOiloL tOlfNllGiOll, w DC lClu d
few days later. Each precinct should
also perfect "a permanent organization.
AT the Congressional conventions
one representative should be chosen
as member of the peoples congress.
He should be selected, not for his ora
torical ability, but for his capacity to
think. Select men who are willing TO
abide by the will of the majority, and,
having selected them, pledge your
selves to abide by the result of their
combined wisdom.
This congress of 357 men, with del
egatcs from the territories, should
meet at some central point and organ
ize."
Copies of this proposed plan have
been mailed to the various national
committeeman and leaders of the diff
ferent organizations, and if the re-
sponses are favorable conference
will be held in Chicago at an early
date and definite plan of action
agreed upon.
