A SLOW HORSE.
One of the Stories Attributed tc
Abraham Lincoln.

A citizen of Brownstone, Ind, sends
the following anecdote of Abraham
Lincoln to the indianapolis Press:
Abraham Lincoln used to be fond
OF telling story OF a lawyer in a
western town who desired the nomi-
nation for county Judge. On the
morning preceding the evening on
which the county convention was to
be held the lawyer applied to the liv-
cry stable keeper in his village for A
morse and buggy in which to drive to
the county town, sixteen miles dis
tant. where the convention was to be
held.
Give me the best and the fastest
horse you have, Sam, said he. so
that l will have time to go around and
see the boys before the convention
begins
The liveryman. however, was sup
porting rival Candidate and gave the
lawyer horse that outwardly ap-
peared perfect, but broke down before
half the journey was completed. SO
that when the candidate arrived the
convention adjourned and his rival
had been nominated.
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon. knowing that II
was useless to resent the trick that
had been played on 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. l know from his gate that
you have spent days training him to
pull hearse. but he'll prove dead
failure. He's already so slow he
couldn't get n corpse to the cemetery
in time for the resurrection"

The Chinese have cuflously cheer
full way Of disposing of their lepers.
The relatives of the afflicted person
propose to him that they bury him
alive. and, such is the fatalism of the
Chinese, that the victim readily con-
sents. An extra elaborate meal Ia
served to him In the way Of a farewell
banquet, and then the funeral process
sion forms. The man who Is about to
be immured under the sod follows his
own coffin. and when he reaches the
grave he takes a dose of laudanum,
hops into the box and settles down for
eternity.
DR.. Wittenberg, writing on the sub
ject Of leprosy in China. states that the
pure nerve form is the least common.
In such cases, as is well known, the pa
tients may 60 on for years. As to the
mixed form, 1t Is fairly common, but II
is difficult matter to estimate the
number of lepers in any given district.
The sufferers lead the common life so
long as they remain free from destruc-
tive LESSONS. When these occur to any
marked degree, the leper is either seq.
regated in hut or he is allowed to
wander about the country, sustaining
life by begging. DR.. Wittenberg re.
cords cases of direct contagion from
mother-in-law to daughter-in-law.
