The Dread of Death.

1t may seem at first sight as if this
universal dread Of death in healthy and
normal human beings living under nor
NAL conditions involved certain divine
cruelty. Why should men be tortured
by the dread Of death, since death is in
evitable? Gould not God have spared us
that intolerable and purposeless agony?
That is not unnatural questioning of
the rebellious spirit. Yet little refec-
ton will show that it is very absurd
criticism of the ways of God toward
man. Granted that it is the will Of God
that we shall remain on earth and live
our appointed lives there, it is essential
that mankind should feel the dread Of
death. Without that dread the world
could hardly remain peopled.
The dread of death is to the soul
what the law of gravity is to the body
1t anchors us to the earth. Without that
dread to weigh us down and keep us to
the globe, half mankind would be driv-
en- by curiosity, by the love of change
by the dread of ennui, by what Bacon
calls "niceness and safety" to push
open the closed door and see what is
beyond. Children and few very happy
and easily pleased people might perhaps
say they would not explore further and
that they were perfectly content with
things as they are.-London Spectator

The CaIligraphy of tho Dumas.

Both the Dumas hands are those OF
busy men, but the elder Dumas could
60 on forever. He never stopped to
punctuate. One of his literary canons
was that clear style punctuates itself.
There is good deal in this. The son
never missed a comma, semicolon, colon
or full stop He had not the fathers ia
cility, which resembled tropical veg.
citation at the end of the rainy season
The younger Dumas beat his brains
terribly and forced them to bring forth
plays. But his letters were jeux
d'esprit. He ought to have been a
preaching monk or an advocate. He
liked to preach and point morals and to
kick his fair penitents to give them real
cause to cry. But he was not the brute
he liked to pass for being. Nothing can
be more refined than his handwriting.
The original manuscripts of his plays
are scarcely legible, the corrections and
erasures are so numerous. But he did
not let the copyist or indeed any stran-
ger see them, but rewrote and added
pungent and pregnant sentences as he
did so. The first thoughts of some au-
thors are the best; they were the worst

ization of the county as a separate loca!
district and until his nomination for the
presidency, Mr.. Lincoln was one of the
lawyers in attendance, and that he was a
fayorite with the people of the county is
evidenced by the fact that the city bears
his name. His stories are yet repeated
by surviving pioneers who were county
officials at that time, and his legal ser
vices in many Of the trials of those times
are still remembered.
When the Chicago and Alton Railroad
was built through the county it did not
pass through the new county seat, Mount
Pulaski, nor the old one of Postville, but
it did pass within mile Of the latter
town. At this point new town was
founded and named in honor of Mr.. Lin
coin, who was was a friend of the men
who were it's founders.
At the sale of lots in the new town on
Aug. %, 1853, Mr.. Lincoln was present
and expressed his regrets at having no
money with which to buy some Of the
town lots. However, two lots opposite
the block set aside as the court house
square were given to him Icy Messrs. Gill
let, Hickox and Latham as an attorney
fee for services in the work of securing
the charter and deeds for the new city.
These lots Mr. Lincoln owned until his
death and were not sold by his heirs un-
til about seven years ago.

Love Lott .ry Day.

One of the most charming and at the
same time plausible versions of the rela-
ton of the modern valentine idea to that
devoted Christian martyr, st. Valentino,
is the following:
The early Christian fathers, in their at
tempts to conciliate their pagan compat-
riots, with most commendable tact and
insight utilized many of the popular forms
of NEUROLOGICAL celebrations to commence
rate Christian events.
One of the festivals, dear to the heart
of every Roman, was the feast of Luper-
Gala, when they did honor to their gods
Pan and Juno, not only with the BAN
quet, dance and drama, but with pecu-
liar ceremony which provided billet
box into which we're dropped slips of pa
per inscribed with the ladies' names. The
bachelors drew out these slips and the la
dies whose names were on their papers
We're henceforth Installed as their mis-
tresses for twelve months to command
them as best suited their sweet wills. This
festival usually occurred in February
and was therefore made use of by the
Christians to commemorate the birth
day of the martyr, st. Valentine. In time
it came to be called Valentines Day and
retained the love-lottery as it's especial
feature.

Honest Abe and tho Bail.

Crossing field one day, the late Presi-
dent Lincoln, it is said, was pursued by
an angry bull. He made for the fence,
but soon discovered that the bull was
overtaking him. He then began to run
round haystack in the field, and the bull
pursued him; but, in making the short
circles round the stack, Lincoln was the
faster, and, instead of the bull catching
him, he caught the bull and grabbed him
by the tail. 1t was a firm grip and a
controlling one. He began to kick the
bull, and the bull beloved with agony and
dashed across the field, Lincoln hanging
to his tail and kicking him at every jump,
and, as they flew along, Lincoln shouted
at The bull, Hang you, who began this
fght?"

JAPAN wlTHDRAWs OBJECTIONS
Willing that Hawaiian Annexation BE
Carried Ont as Planned.


Japan has been removed as an element in
the opposition to the ratification of the
annexation treaty between the Hawaiian
Islands and the United States. This re-
suit has been attained by the conclusion
of an agreement between this Govern
ment and that of Japan, as represented by
Minister Toru-Hoshi, which, by practical
" Iattling the status of the japanese in
Haskaii, removes the only substantial diff
ference that has existed between the two
Governments. The correspondence be-
tween Minister Hoshi and the State De-
partm has been directed to satisfac-
tory| settlement of the status of the resi-.
dent japanese in Hawaii, and this last
point has been adjusted, so far as the
exec utive branch is capable Of acting in
dope ndently, the agreement being reduced
to the shape of written memorandum.
1t is understood to be recognition of the
rights of the Japanese in Hawaii TO claim
equal rights with the japanese in the
Unit ed States after the taking effect of
the treaty with Japan proclaimed in 1895.
