ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

Abraham Lincoln was character
by himself,incomparable and unique.
He was Of a sad nature, and
yet his sense of the ridiculous was
remarkably keen, bearing him up
from difficulties that would have
broken down almost any other man.
That he sometimes gave way to I'M
comfortable fits Of grief in the dark
hours of the war is a fact beyond
question, and yet he could, so to
speak, lift himself out OF his trou-
bles, and enjoy his own repartees
and the good things of others. The
old quirks and quips of the clown
in the circus, the broad innuendoes
of the comedian, the quiet sallies OF
tue higher walks of the drama, in
terested him more than the heavy
cadences and profound philosophy
OF tragedy. Had his life not been
extinguished by the assassin, his
rare love Of his kind, his perfect
Observation-Disclosures, his unabsolute,
yet entirely natural simplicity Of
character, and his absolute idolatvy
Of everything that was happy sin ma
ture and in man, would have had q
tendency to proloDg his life far be-
yond the Psslmists standard OF
"three score and ten"

Encounter With Thieves.


BLUEFIELD, w. VA, Sept. 27th.-
Members Of Baldwin's Detective
Agency have been endeavoring for
some days to capture the burglars
suspected Of having robbed the safe
in the Office of the large tannery To-
Gated at Nsrrows, Giles County,
station on the Norfolk and Western
Railway, 40 miles east Of this place.
At 4 O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
Detectives Allen Brown, OF Blue
field, and T. L. Feltz captured on a
coal train a white man named At.
kinson aud Bill Red, negro des.
perado. After making the arrest
Feltz went forward on the train to
seize two other negroes belonging
to the suspected gang, leaving
Brown TO guard Atkinson and Red.
When Brown attempted, single
handed, to search Atkinson, Red
seized the detective about the body,
holding his hands while Atkinson
beat him over the head and face
with brass knuckles. and wrenching
his pistol from his grasp shot him
in the side, inhicting dangerous
wound. Feltz went to Browns as
sistance and a number of shots were
exchanged. Feltz was shot through
the leg and one negro was wounded
and captured. Atkinson and two
negroes escaped. Red has killed
several men and was recently tried
for murder at WEIGH, but acquitted.
A strong force of detectives is in
pursuit OF the burglars. Browns
condition is considered very ser.
ious.

Killed Him in Self Dssuss

SIsTERsvILLE, W. VA, Sept. 81
Intelligence has reached here of
shooting ARRAY which took place out
at Elk Fork, Thursday evening, in
which A. L. Walters, young fellow
employed ON one of the oil farms out
there, shot and instantly killed
Lou Barcus, who attacked him.
Barcus had been drinking, and as
he rode by the place where Walters
was stopping, made some sighting
remark, and when the latter told
him to move on, he got off his horse
and went alter him with knife.
Walters tried to take the knife
from the fellow, and paciiy him, but
he only seemed to become more en-.
ragged and wanted to fight, and kept
pushing Walters close with the
knife. He followed Walters close
INTO the mouse, unlll nhally the lat
ter saw that he would have TO do
something, aud noticing revolver
lying on bureau, picked it mp and
fired, the ball entering his breast at
the heart, killing him instantly.
When the coroner arrived to hold
the inquest, Walters gave himself
up, but later was released, as it was
shown conclusively that he was not
TO blame, and had done the shooting
in self defense. The murdered man
was quarrelsome when drinking, but
Walters was very quiet fellow,and
we'll liked.

| can say without vanity, looking
back over this long stretch of years,
that l was not unjustly called the
belle of our town.
1t was quiet place during eight
long months of the year and I found
it dull enough, aud wondered why
it was appointed that must drag
out my life within its limits, but the
remaining four months saw it emerge
as the butterfly from its chrysalis,
and waken into such fullness OF ac-
tion that it almost compensated.
1t was during those periods that
| learned that my beauty entitled
me to wider sphere, or so thought
in my narrowness of judgment but
when, at a ball or reception, l saw
men leave the richly attired women
whom they met the year round, to
seek an introduction to ne, simply
dressed and the daughter of retir-
ed officer, it was little wonder that
blush Of conscious pride rose to
my cheek, OF my eye burned with
satisfied vanity.
l was but Ii when | met Vance
Wilmour. He was double my age,
and when he bent over me with the
wonderful grace OF manner he so full
ly possessed, or let his eyes dwell on
mine with az imprisoned glance,
my heart would throb as a voice
within would say: "This is love-
1t seemed as though an eng error
had stopped from his throne to ask
the peasant girl to share his high es-
tate when he at last told me of his
devotion and asked me to become
his wife. My father shook his head

to receive my lover.
"He is not the man to make nv

matter how brightly gilded the bars

might have cast it in any form.

brought me was perfect in its every

| hail dream Of boyhocd's joyful days,
When tramping Ger the meadows Wild
and free.
With not a care or furrow on our brow
To change heart beat in the last de-
gree.
We scaled the hillside as in younger days
Ard drank from hidden springs quench-
ing glass
That sparkled bright with sunlight's
cheerful rays,
When DER this pathway we were won't
10 pass.
We listened to the beating of the lambs
While skipping round their mothers in
their glee,
And watched the gopher while be sought
his hole
AS bessie chewed her eud beneath the
tree.
The rustling leaves played sweetest,
dreamy tunes
AS did they in the lovely Junes gone by,
The crickets chirped in marshy meadows
wide,
While nighttime cleaned witt phos-
phorescent fly.
We dreamed the clouds were feathery
beds of ease,
On which to lay our weary bodies down
AS in the fancy of our childhood days,
We'd ride the swiftest cloud and wear
crown.
The water in the brook, so calm and clear
AS DER the pebbles lulling whispers
spake,
That told the secrets of its mountain path
While on its quiet journey to the lake.
Now lay we down on green and messy
bank
And watched the sportive minnows at
their plays
While nibbling crumbs we scattered for a
feast
A sure return to come some other day.
While dreaming thus the spell was sure
to break,
Too soon was marred this rapturous,
youthful bliss
BY ringing bells that tolled the hour of
seven,
And with their tones we gave good
night kiss.

THE BICYCLE HUsTLERs.-It is
surely fact that the bicycle has
come to stay. More have been sold
this year than ever before, and the
season has only begun. Our own
city is certainly keeping pace with
the times and it is really amazing tc
see how many are being used here.
BARR & LANTz can we'll be called
s'The Bicycle Hustlers," from the
way they have been selling wheels.
A customer simply has to see their
line to know that they can save them
money ia the purchase of good
wheel. Among the many wheels
that have been sold here, there is
one which certainly deserves special
mention, viz: 1.-THE United States. :,
While it is not the only good wheel
made, it has certainly reached the
highest pinnacle of bicycle perfec-
ton, up-to-date, and any expert in
metal work, can readily see that it
costs more to manufacture it, than
any other on the market. The BIZ
cyclists Of this place are blessed BY
being close to the firm Of BARR &
LAETz.
