= How Lincoln Won His Wife.

HOW Lincoln won his WIFE,
Mr.. Lincoln used to take great de-
light in telling how he gained knife
by his ugly looks. That has been pub
lished, but / have not seen another in
print telling how he gained his wife.
Mrs. Lincoln was a beautiful lady, at
tractive, sharp, witty and relished a
Joke even at her own expense. She
was staying with her sister, Mrs. Ed
wards. She had not been there long
before everybody knew Miss Mary
Todd. She often said: "When girl, l
thought I would not marry until l
could get one of the handsomest men
In the country, but since 1 became a
woman learned 1 can't get such a
man, which has caused me to change
my mind. 1 have concluded now to
marry the ugliest looking man can
find"
Later on Lincoln came to town. She
had never seen him before she met
him on the street. She was told who
he was and went home and told her
sister she had seen her man, "the ugli-
est man 1 ever saw, Abraham Lin
coin, and am going to set my cap for
him."
That became a common saying in
street gossip. When they were mar
ried, instead of taking bridal trip,
they went to the Globe hotel, owned by
the writer and occupied by tenant.
They took board at "a week. When
he got able, he bought lot for $500
and built a four room house costing
less than $1,000. When he received
$1,000 from his great railroad case, he
spent $1,000 of it in putting second
story on his house, and there he lived
until he went to ashington.-Thomas
Lewis In Leslie's Weekly.

when the weight began to get danger
GUS. To this be there added tale:
1t rains frogs in Arizona. The old
timers believe there is no doubt of it,
though they cannot explain whence the
frogs were originally Gifted" But this
much is straight-let there be sum-
mer rain along the line of the southern
Pacific In southwestern Arizona, and
behold the next morning every little
pool has a myriad Of little lean green
frogs with marvellous croaking powers.
They don't wait for nightfall like their
more civilized brothers elsewhere, but
keep up the music by day as by night.
They live where water comes only
about once year. They can't live
over the interim under the sun baked

they are all of size to boot. If they
didn't come from the ground or from
the river, they must have come from
the skies.

Once I sailed these seas, where are

natives recognizing the captain and
telling him plainly they would eat him

The strain on our nerves may be
imagined. At last the captains gave
way. "Goodby, G., old fellow" he
said. "Those beasts will have me in
the ovens at once. You may escape

little comfort in it. Try making 9TH
ers happier. Possibly 1t will suit you
better. Too many people have the hab-

it, but there is SO much unhappiness
IN the world that you can gain genuine
satisfaction by saying kind things of
people, by doing kind things. Don't
cut and slash. 1t only makes misera-

that others cut and slash you is no ex-

@Daniel Webster, when at his home at
Marshfleld, would never speak on poll
ties when here, but he would talk to
the assembled neighbors and guests on
matters pertaining to farming. On one
occasion some Boston friends present
ed him with an enormous plow to use
on his farm. Webster gave out word
that on certain day it would be chris
tened The day arrived, and the sur
rounding farmers for miles came to
witness the event. A dozen teams
with aristocratic occupants came down
from Boston. 1t was expected by ev-
cry one that Webster would make a
great speech on the occasion, review
ing the history Of farming back to the
time when Cincinnatus abdicated the
most mighty throne In the world to
cultivate cabbages in his Roman gar
den.
1.-THE pillow was brought out, and ten
yoke of splendid oxen were hitched In
front. More than two hundred people
stood around on the tiptoe of expecta-

Venice without water.

Venice without water would hardly
be Venice at all, but we are assured
there is a possibility that the pictur-
esque Venice of today may become a
city Of the past, and eventually Venice
may be waterless.
According to Professor Marinelli, the
regular increase In the delta of the
river Pc is such that In process Of
time the northern Adriatic will be dry,
and Venice will no more be upon the
sea- The annual surveys show that
the mean annual increase of the delta
during 70 years has been three-tenths
Of a square mile.
An encroachment upon the sea Of
three-tenths of mile in year means
a large increase in century. 1t ap-
pears that the total increase in six
centuries has been about 1913 square
miles. The increase Is continuing, and
the gulf Of Venice Is doomed to dis
appear.
No immediate alarm need be felt, and
it will not be necessary to hurry off
to Venice to take a farewell look at
the city in its present picturesqueness
Professor Marinelli calculates that be-
tween 100 and 120 centuries will elapse
before the entire northern Adriatic will
have become dry land.-Youth's Com
paniOn.

The question has been asked Of sign
painters hundreds Of times, (Which
letter of the alphabet do you consider

It is but natural to make the In

others. 1t is most generally conceded
by some experts that the Roman capt.
tai letter "R' Is the most difficult
Others will say that an "S" Is very
hard to make, and many strongly con-
tend that the character "&" is the
hardest and most difficult Of any in
the entire alphabet. Practically speak
ing, all of these letters are somewhat
difficult, and to the young beginner
they are not easily mastered.
1t has frequently been supposed that
an artist of ability on account Of his
great talent in drawing would of
course naturally make a good sign
painter, but the experiment has been
tried and given up with unsatisfactory
results.
An artist may draw and paint a
most beautiful picture, but when 1t
comes to forming perfect letter he is
entirely out of the race. About At
years ago there were five well known
artists of this city who were also ex-
perts at lettering, they having learned
and worked at this branch previously.

Three negro lads met on street cor

freak Of Providence each had just Is
cents. This was considerable for them,
and, being SO unfortunate as to have
no "craps," it required much serious
elaboration to arrive at just the best
plan for spending it.
Finally one suggested that they
place their little capital in pool and
then, each in turn, guess what was
good to eat, the best guesser to take
all Of the money.
This plan met with hearty approval,
as each one had ideas on that subject,
and the 45 cents was soon In a pile.
Then the first one guessed.
"Possum, sweet taters an water

and began picking up his nickels, but

The Real Paramount Issue.

head in this fashion:
''The paramount issue now, as four
years ago, is prosperity. What the
people are most interested in today Is
how to continue and promote pros
perity At the foundation of that is
the money question. All know that to
reopen that means disaster. Mr.. Bry-
an, in the spirit of a dictator and the
determination of zealot forced that
issue into the Democratic platform and
has challenged the country to second
battle on the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the fixed ratio of 16 to
1. 1t is the money question that is
now before the American people for
their determination; it is the question
Of questions; it is the issue above all
issues; all others issues are mere make
weights and but of slight Importance"
