1t has been held that conSump-
ton is hereditary, and the fact
that one person Of family had
died with consumption was con-
sidered a sure sign that others Of
that family could not escape it.
This1sis partly true and partly
untrue. a man with weak lungs
is likely to transmit that weak
ness to his children. But there
IS no reason in the world why
the weakness should be allowed
to develop. Keep tie lungs full
cf rich, red, wholesome blood,
and the weakness will disappear.
Decaying tissues will be thrown
off, and new material will be
added until the lungs are well

SAVED BY LINCOLN

An old Confederate soldier by
the name Of Geo. $. f. Vaughn,
living in MaryvilIe, No, tells
touching story in the Saturday
Globe, published at Utica, \. Y,
about how he was captured as a
spy by Federal soldiers during
the civil war, tried three times
by court martial and condemned
each time to be shot, and how
Senator Henderson Of Missouri
went as a last resort to President
Lincoln in his behalf about an
hour before the president was as
sassinated by j. Wilkes Booth IN
Ford S theater, April l., 1865,
aud obtained a pardon for him.
Secretary Stanton had been ap-
pealed TO time and again, but
positively refused to interfere.
Senator Henderson says the
president was dressed for the
theater when he stated the case
to him, but he Immediately sat
down at his desk and wrote u par
don on his official paper, handed
it to him and remarked: 81 guess
this will stand a little over Stan
ton This proved to be his last
official act, and is only another
illustration Of how he loved his
fellow men il all sections Of his
country.
Henry EVatterson, IN his great
speech On "Atraham Lincoln, +"
last Friday night at Stetson Uni
verSiiX, said that his great heart
was SO full of the milk Of human
kindness that the officers during
the war frequently had to cut the
wires to keep him from interior
ing with the discipline Of the
army. He cited a case of an old
gray headed man, whose son had
been contaminated and ordered
to be shot, going to Washington
to plead with the president to par
don him. Mr.. Lincoln promised
to postpone the execution until
he could Investigate the case, but
this did not satisfy the old man.
He burst into tears and continued
pleading for a pardon, whereupon
the president said: Go along,
old man; If your boy is not shot
TIL order it, he will live to be as
old as Methuselah."
He was truly a man of destiny
and evidently "came to the king
dom for such time as this"

The Nations Living Sons.


Now that the nations dead sons have
been brought home from Cuban battletields
and tenderly laid away in beautiful Airing
ton is it not fitting that some attention
should be paid to the nations living sons?
Less than year ago the country rang
with the praises of American valor at Ma
nila and Santiago. The blood of our SOL
diers had been freely shed at Las Quasina,
Ell Caney and San Juan. Hundreds of our
bravest and best gave up their lives for
the honor of old glory; but do not let us
forget the thousands. who imperiled their
lives in the same ENGAGEMENTS, and the
other thousands who enlisted for the war
and thereby volunteered to take the places
of the fallen brave. i"i'
Eulogies upon the services of the soldier
should not be confined to the dead, unless
it be presumed that q good soldier is a
dead soldier. 1t is not the fault of the liv-
ing that Mauser bullets and grapeshot
passed them by, and that they survived the
shock of battle and the more fatal fever.
The young men who responded to the call
OF the President for:ean army with which
to make good his demands upon Spain to
evacuate the Island of Cuba are the flower
of American youth. They represent the
spirit of the republic. 1t is owing to the
fact that America produces men like these
that we have no need of a large standing
army. The war, thes extent of which was
so indefinite when deelarsd that many be-
lieved it would not close until we had meas
ured strength with more than one European
nation, has happily closed with the triumph
of our arms, and the volunteers are re-
turning to civil life
Is it too much to ask that the men who
thronged the avenue when the boys march
ed away to battle, and who welcomed them
home again, who stood with uncovered
heads in the presence of 336 open graves at
Arlington, should see to it that the sur
vtvors of the war with Spain should be
given an opportunity to get a fair start in
the race of life?
Would it be doing too much, think you,
10 prefer these brave fellows, of whom you
were so proud a few months ago. as en-
pioyes in stores, workshops, offices and
upon the farms? Should they not have the
hrst offers of employment in department
ofhces and upon government work? The
SICK ana disabled will be pensioned by the
government, but the small amount allowed
such Will not relieve them of the necessity
of earning a living.
Happily these men are the survivors of a
war not waged upon sectional lines. They
are the nations wards. The glory achiev-
ed upon the battlefield is national glory
lne heroic youth of the north and south
stood shoulder to shoulder in camp and
upon the battlefield, and it is the duty of
every American employer whose heart has
lhrllted at the sight of volunteer regi-
Hent marching to the front to give en-
pioyment TO these men to the exclusion of
tnose VINO, in the supreme moment chose
the safer walks of life to the Imminent
risk OF the battlefield. G. c. KNIFFIN
