At a recent dinner in Boston a for
mer citizen of Springfield, ILL.,, told
the following Lincoln story: The
first hose company Of Springfield was
very proud OF its we'll equipped fire
apparatus, and, desiring to secure
some extra supplies, subscription pa
pers were sent around. The small
boys, myself among the number, were
given share in the work. went up
to some dusty rooms over a grocery
and entered the law office of Lincoln.
He asked me numberless questions, and
| had to tell him all [ knew of this fire
brigade and its members. Then he
said: "Well, I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll go home to supper-Mrs Lincoln is
generally good natured after supper
and then III tell her that [ have been
thinking of giving $50 to the brigade
and she'll say: Abe, you'llnever have
any sense; twenty dollars is quite
enough SO tomorrow, my boy, you
come around and get your $20.'-Bos-
ton Globe.

her maturity at Beauvoir, Miss.

Sept. I8.-Miss Winnie Davis,

the Rockingham Hotel to which.
place she came as a guest in
the early part of the Piers
social season. She had been
i'll for several weeks and a
fortnight ago her ailment was
diagnosed as malarial gastritis.
At times her condition became
very serious, so that consnl-
tations of physicians were
deemed necessary, but fire.
quent rallies gave renewed
hope that she would ultimately
recover. During the past week
especially was her condition
considefed favorable and it was
thought that her removal from
the hotel would be possible in
a few days as the hotel had
closed for the season, leaving
the patient and attendants
practically alone in the house.
Last night, however, relapse
in Miss Davis condition was
noticed, and throughout the
eight she lost strength percep-
tiably. This morning the ply
sicians said that the end was
not far off, and at noon death
came to end the suffering
which at times had been in
tense.
Mrs Davis had watched I'M
remittingly at her daughter $
bedside and she is now bowed
with sorrow. The physicians
of Mrs. Davis report she is
holding up with great calmness
in her affection and no fears
are at present entertained OF
her health yielding to the
strain.
