Her Reply.

1t was one of the days when little
Katie seemed to be possessed by a
spirit of mischief, and before the after
noon was over she had tired herself and
exhausted her mothers patience. AT
last she did something SO naughty that
her mother said:
There, Katie, / shall have to punish
you for that"
The child looked at her for a moment
in silence, and then, without warning,
burst into tempestuous weeping. Just
at this crisis her father came into the
room.
Why, little one, what is this?" he
asked. What are you crying for?"
Katie thought for a moment. and
then, remembering that the manner of
her punishment had not been an
nounced. she answered, amid her sobs:
Il don't know, papa; mamma hasn't
told me yet."-Answers.

Lincoln and the Poor Widow.

| The 10Th of February, Abraham Lin
| coins birthday, brings to our thoughts
stronger than ever "reminiscences of this
| noble mans life. Hundreds of books
! have recorded and will perpetuate his
1 good deeds for centuries to come; but it
| is pleasure to read now and then OF
some little act of kindness that will
/ stand illustrating the breadth of this
mans sympathies and the nobility of
! his character. During all that dreadful
| period when the civil war was ravaging
the country Lincoln held the reins of the
Government, and although worn out
with unceasing toll he never neglected
an opportunity to help those who suf-
| fered.
| One day poor woman, whose tears had
worn burrows down her cheeks, gained
an audience with Lincoln, and in few
words related the sad tale of her hus-
| band, who had fought in the Union
| army only to lose his life, and Of her
three boys who were then fighting. She
| requested the discharge of her eldest
boy, that she might have some one to
support her. Lincoln's heart responded
to the appeal, and he replied Certainly,
if you have given us all, and your prop
has been taken away, you are justly en-
titled to one of your boys"
| The poor woman went away light of
heart only to return later, tearfully beg
ging the release of her second son. The
discharge of the first son had come too
| late. He was killed before it reached
him. Sadly Lincoln sat down and wrote
the requisite order for the release of the
second son, and rising, handed the paper
to the afflicted woman. saying. Now
you have one and l have one of the two
boys left; that is no more than right"
Weeping with joy. the poor mother
blessed Lincoln, and hurried out to send
her precious order.-Harper's Round

During the past season the company
handled 100000 tons of coal, and gave

frame block as soon as possible, when
1t will be occupied as a public school,

But the chief work to be undertaken
this spring, and which will probably
be of greatest value to this Superior in
general, will be the extension to the
Northwestern Coal Railway dock, at
Allouez bay. The present dimensions
feet, and its present capacity 1000
tons. The proposed addition will De
$50 feet 10y 475 feet, and will increase
the capacity of the dock by 1000 tons.
1t will be built to the south end of the
present structure, and will be supplied
with modern apparatus for handling the
coal. With the increased facilities tour
vessels can be unlOaded at one time, an
increase of one vessel. 1t is not decided
vet whether the annex will be con-
structed of steel or wood The contract
for the necessary clibbIuG, 300 feet, will
be let shortly. The trackage will also
be increased by about two miles of side
track. The tracks of this company now
extend to South Superior and round TO
st, LOUIS river, making a semi-circle OF
the city with about thirteen miles of
track. The company also owns the
draw bridge across the st. Louis river
at New Duluth, which gives them the
advantage Of having access to every
railroad at the head of the lakes.
