ONE OF SOTHERN'S JOKES.
How He Entertained himself and Mrs. John

Wood
Mrs. John Wood appeared with the
elder Sothern in the same company for
several seasons, says the Boston Journal.
On one occasion, while the company was
playing in Birmingham, Mrs Wood met
Mr.. Sothern on the street. They were
near an iron-monger's shop, when he
shook hands with her and bade her good
morning.
Would you mind going in here with
me: want 10 make some small purchases, :"
he said.
She accompanied him.
lie went up TO the counter and said:
81 want some 'Macaulay'S History of Eng

The assistant said: Eve do not sell
books, sir; this is an ironmonger's shop"
We'll, I'm not particular" said Soth-
ern, pretending to be deaf. "I don't care
whether it is bound in calf or Russia"
But this is not booksellers" shouted
the assistant.
"All right" said Sothern. Wrap it up
neatly. Want 10 have it sent down to the
hotel It's for a present ] wish TO make
to a relative. Put it up nicely"
We don't keep it," shouted the assistant
getting red in the face, while Mrs. Wood
stepped aside and took a chair in another
part Of the shop, almost overcome with
suppressed laughter at the cheerful, frank
expression on Sothern'S face, and the mad
puzzled look on the shopkeeper's assistant
DO it up as if it were for your OWL

than that" said Sothern. Il would like

THE DEBATING CLUB.

Mr.. Lincoln's ambition to fit himself for
public speaking has been demonstrated in
a number of anecdotes in the preceding
narrative. Even at this early date the
settlers in New Salem were infected with the
National desire to take part in the general
march of Intellectual Improvements, and to
aid in their object they had established a
club entitled the New Salem Literary So
ciety. Before this association the studious
Lincoln was invited to speak. Mr.. r. b.
Rutledge, the brother of Anne Rutledge,
says of the event: about the year 1892 or
1888, Mr.. Lincoln made his first effort at
public speaking A debating club, of
which James Rutledge was President, was
organized, and held regular meetings.
AS Lincoln arose to speak, his tall form
lowered above the little assembly. Both
hands were thrust down deep in the pockets
of his pantaloons. A percephble smile at
once lit up the faces of the audience, for all
anticipated the relation of some humorous
story. But he opened up the discussion in
splendid style, to the infinite astonishment
of his friends. AS ne warmed with his sub
ject, his hands would forsake his pockets
and would enforce his ideas by awkward
gestures, but would very soon seek their
easy resting places. He pursued the ques-
ton with reason and argument so pithy
and forcible that all We're amazed. The
President, after the meeting, remarked to
his wife that there was more in Abe's
head than wit and fun; that he was already
a fine speaker; that all he lacked was cul-
lure to enable him to reach the high destiny
which he knew was in store for him."

POSTMASTER AT NEW SALEM.

On the 7th of May, 1888, Mr.. Lincoln was
appointed Postmaster at New Salem by
President jackson. The duties of the posi-
ton were light, there being only a weekly
mail, and the remuneration was CORE
spondingly small. "The office was too
insignificant to be considered politically, and
it was given to the young man because
everybody liked him, and because he was
the only man willing to take it who could
make out the returns. He was exceedingly
pleased with. the appointment, because it
gave him chance to read every newspa per
that was taken in the vicinity. He had
never been able to get half the newspapers
he wanted, and the office gave him the
prospect of a constant feast. Not wishing
to be tied to the office, as it yielded him no
revenue that would reward him for the con-
finement, he made postoffice of his hat.
Whenever he went out, the letters were
placed in his hat. When an anxious locker
for letter found the Postmaster, he had
found his office; and the public officer, TAX
ing off his hat, looked over his mail wher-
ever the public might find him. He kept
office until it was discontinued, or removed
to Petersburg"

ANYTHING HERE FOR ME?"

The incumbent of every public Office is
subject to annoyance, as MIR. Lincoln
learned while dealing out letters to the few
correspondents dwelling at New Salem.
An anecdOte in illustration is furnished by
Mr.. ill: "One Elmore johnson, an ignor-
ant but ostentatious, proud man, used to go
to Lincoln's postofiice every day-some-
times three or four times day, if in town
and inquire: Anything here for meg This
bored Lincoln, yet it amused him. Lincoln
fixed plan-wrote letter to johnson as
coming from negresS IN Kentucky, say
ing many funny things about opossums,
dances, corn-Shuckings, ETC.; 'John'Si come
and see me; and old master won't kick you
out of the kitchen any more! Elmore took
the letter; opened it; couldn't read word;
pretended to read it; went away; got some
| friends to read it; they read it correctly; he
| thought the reader was fooling him, and
| went to others with the same result All
and presented it to Lincoln. 1t was almost
too much for Lincoln, but he read it. The
man never asked afterwards, Anything
| here for me?"
LINCoLN'S WAY OF KEEPING TRUST
| FUNDS.
A balance due the Government remained
in the hands of Mr.. Lincoln at the dis
continuance of the office. Time passed on
and he had removed to Springfield and was
practicing law, having his place of business
in DIR. Henry office. Meanwhile his strug
gle with poverty was unabated, and he haG
often been obliged to borrow money from
his friends topurchase the barest necessities
1t was at this juncture that the agent of the
United States called for a settlement of his
postoffice accounts. The interview took
place in the presence of DR.. Henry, who
thus describes it: Il did not believe he haC
the money on hand to meet the draft, and

which consisted of such silver and copper
pieces as the country people were then in the
habit of using in paying postage. Or

RETURN OF SECRETARY HAY.
He Came to Attend to Some Odds and
Ends of Department Ruxinesx

Secretary Hay arrived in Washington at
1880 O'Clock this morning and came
promptly to his desk at the State Depart
ment- His appearance at this time when
1t was understood that he would not return
to Washington before the end of Septem-
Der, gave rise to the supposition that some
emergency required the interruption of his
vacation 1t was suggested that there was
to be meeting of the American members
OF the high joint commission. and also that
the S1cretarys presence was required to
carry on some negotiations to perfect the
samoan treaty. which must be submitted
to the next session Of Congress
The Secretary contented himself with the
statement that some odds and ends of bust
ness OF no great Importance had called him
to Washington. He will remain only few
days President Mckinley is expected
back by Friday or Saturday, and the Sec
rotary will take advantage of the opportu-
nifty to advise with him respecting ques-
lions pending before the State Department
and it is even probable that a cabinet meet
ing will be held at which some of these
matters will be discussed. Among the call
ers on Secretary Hay this morning were
John Bassett Moore and Baron Won Stern
burg of the German embassy.
Baron Won SternbergS visit was also
rather unexpected. He is the German
member of the Samoan commission, and
after the recent return of the commission,
he accompanied the American commission
er, Mr.. Trip, to his residence at Yankton,
5 ID. He came east last week, and Is at
present the guest of Governor Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay, L. l. His report the work
in Samoa was forwarded to the German
embassy, and thence went forward to Ber-
lin. Baron Sternberg's visit at this time
was to learn when Mr.. Trip will come to
Washington, and this may bring the COM
missioners together again and lead to fur
Their steps in carrying out the proposed
new administration for Samoa. The three
governments are now in possession of their
reports on the subject, but it remains for
them to frame a treaty carrying out the
recommendations II is probable that Judge
Tripp will arrive here about September u.
By that time the three governments will
have had full opportunity to go over the
reports, and the commissioners may then
take the requisite steps to put the matter
in treaty form. 1t is not yet certain, how
ever, whether this meeting will occur at
Washington or in London, as details of
this character are for the governments to
arrange when the pourparerS begin.
