LINCOLN ON THE RUN.
THE ONLY TIME. BUT HE WAS
 AFTER HIS BOY TAD"
The Future President Was Coatless and Hatless. and the Sight of Many Church-G -Goers Returning From Service Did Not
 Phase Him a Bit-Was
 A Comical Sight.
a ConnicaI Sipht.


 The following anecdote is .vouched for by the editor of Leslie's Monthly, who has it from very old lady, Mrs H. A. Baldwin, now living in Los An geles, Cal, who was close neighbor of the Lincoln< family when they re- sided in Springfield, III.
 'I can remember clearly little incl dent which occurred one very hot Sun day morning in summer. 1t was just about the time MT Lincoln had received the nomination for senator My huS- band had gone to church alone that morning. as 1 was not feeling well. l was sitting at the window looking out on the street when I espied little Tad Lincoln trotting down the walk past our house as fast as his little legs could carry him. He was between two and three years of age at that time and was the sharpest little chap inn agineable. His father had nicknamed him 'Tadpole,' soon shortened to Tad, as all the neighbors knew.
 Mrs Lincoln had gone to church, leaving the children at home in charge of MT Lincoln. and the little fellow had escaped from the yard in some way or other. As I watched Tad trotting past, I heard some one calling him from up the street. Glancing up, 1 saw Mir Lincoln coming as fast as his long legs would carry him. As l have said, 1t was an exceedingly warm day, and people were wearing their thinnest clothes. As long as I live shall never forget Mir Lincoln's appearance. He was coatless, vestless, bareheaded and barefooted! Think of it! The man who was later to be president of the United States actually striding down the street barefooted after his runaway child! It was the most comical sight have ever witnessed. Tad was soon oyertaken, and MT Lincoln, grasping his rebellious son around the waist, tucked him under his long arm like a seack of meal, with his head to the rear. and started for home again. Un- fortunately church services had just closed, and the streets were crowded with people, fashionably dressed, who stared in astonishment and with mer- riment upon the comical sight Little Tad was screaming, kicking and squirming in vain attempt to escape. E His little arms and legs were revolving ill all directions and the sight of Mir Lincoln, barefooted and half-dressed, with that boy under his arm would have sent his wife into spasms had she witnessed it. He, however, was not embarrassed in the least. but ducked and bowed right and left to acquaint- ances, responding cheerily to their Why. good morning, Mir Lincoln,' with How are you. Mrs So-and-So, or Fine day, MT So-and-So,' all the time wearing q pleasant smiIep while the spectators were nearly conyplsed b at the sight,. -,,

The Knights of Labor have combined with the American Antitrust league and employed q well known Washing ton lawyer to prepare q plan for help ing the steel strikers by starting legal proceedings against the steel trust un- der the antitrust laws of every state i'll which 1t operates, writes a Wash ington correspondent. Ex-Attorney- General Monett of Ohio has been in strumental in starting these organiza- tions after the big trusts. In letter tS an official of one of them he said: "You have the correct idea. Under the Ohio antitrust act we can reach them in Ohio right now, both criminally and civilly. We have the strongest act under which to attack them of any of the states except Texas. We can fill the jaiis with violators of our anti trust laws as rapidly as they can jail workingmen for contempt" The out come of this movement will be watched with interest, both by tie trust, which are after everything, in cluding the freedom of the individual, and the antitrust men, who believe that it is necessary to break the power of the trusts in some way before they become too strong to be broken by any other means than brute force. The antitrust men are also after Attorney General Knox, to know why he doesn't proceed against the steel trust for hay ing violated the Sherman antitrust law. They may not succeed in mak- ing Knox do anything, but they will call public attention to his failure to do what he might.

BLIZZARD STRIKES
ABOUT AMERICAS.
Winter Comes Back With Vengeance
for a Day.
ULsTERs ARE AGAIN STYLISH
Whole Country Again in Grasp Of
Winter Fruit, Cotton and Vegeta-
bles May Be Injured by Such IN
precedented Weather.

Winter not only Fingers in the lap
of Spring" but surprised that old girl
yesterday by giving her a vigorous
hug, which included the whole coun-
try. Such manifestations of lasting
affection are not only unappreciated
but reprehensible as well.
The presence of the old fellow is
both surprising and disagreeable.
Spring had sprung all right, and all
preparations had been made to well
come summer when, 10 and behold,
here comes blizzard that fairly freez-
es us to the marrow.
Whether it be the tail of that recent
Wyoming cyclone or a plain little
home-made freeze, the effect was all
the same and Americas fairly shivered.
Visions of gardens killed, orchal d s
ditto; to say nothing of coal bills, made
the populace weep.
That sincere and profound liar, the
''oldest inhsbitant" had meyer seen a
freeze here the last of April, so he took
in his sign.
Overcoats were taken out of pawn
and coal was bought.
Gradually the temperature dropped
during the day, and at II o'clock last
night it was down IN the forties, Rain
added to the general disagreeabIeness
of the afternoon.
Weatherwise citizens declared there
was little danger of frost, if 1t remain
ed cloudy, though cold enough for it.
Gardens, fields and orchards are in
vigorous growth, and anything like a
freeze would prove a calamity we'll.
nigh irreparable now.
Even at best such unreasonable
weather will greatly damage vege-
tables, fruit and cotton.
