Lincoln used to be fond Of telling
story of lawyer in a western town
who desired the nomination fer county
Judge On the morning preceding the
evening on which the county conyen-
tion was to meet he applied to the liv-
cry sable keeper in his village for a
horse and buggy in which to drive to
the county town, 16 miles distant,
where the convention was to be he'd.
"Give me the best and the fastest
horse you have, Sam" said he, $50 that
I will have time to go around and see
the boys before the convention comes
in"
The llvcryman, however, was sup
porting n rival candidate and gave the
lawyer horse that outwardly appear
ed perfect, but which broke down en-
tircly before half the journey was com
peted, so that when the candidate ar
rived the convention had adjourned
and his rival had been nominated.
on his return to the stable late the
was useless to resent the trick played
upon him, he said to the owner: Look
here, Smith, you must be training this
horse for the New York market, You
expect to sell him to an undertaken for
hearse horse, don't you? Well, it's
time wasted. ! know from his gait
that you have spent days training him
10 pull henrse, but he'll prove n dead
failure. Why, he's so slow he couldn't

Walter Damrosch once related an
amusing experience that befell him in
Orange. The musical director took up
on himself the task Of training acho-
rus in that burg. They were studying
Mendelssohn' Elijah and had reach
ed the chorus.
Hear us, Baal; hear us, mighty
god.' the male voices were booming
out sonorously. when Damrosch cried
out, as is his wont: "No, no. Not that
way. Not that dreadful howl! Don't
say 'B-a-a-l.' Soften little. Give
more musical sound to the words. Say
'Bawl'"
"Whereupon." he says, "the Orange
ties took up the strain again:

Hear us, mighty god.

fitness of the sentiment and broke
