Hanging Over Wife's Grave.

Kansas City, April 1.-The body
OF Florian lrncr, a saloon keeper,
aged 40 years, was found hanging
on a tree over his wife's grave in
Elmwood cemetery in this city to-
day. The man committed suicide
from grief over his wifc's death,
which occurred less than year ago.
The limb upon which he hung him
self was 50 low that his feet touched
the ground when his body was fully
extended. He held his feet up and
died with his knees bent. Persons
who first saw him thought he was in
an attitude of praying on his wife's
grave, and not wishing to disturb
him did not venture close enough to
discover the rope, but later some of
the cemetery attendants found the
body. 1rncr had tried to kill him
self twice before.

The total value of all these products
was 81 ,408, 100000 in round figures, and
1t will be noted at once, of course, that
cotton and cotton products represent a
little more than half the amount, what
ever the fact may signify. 1t is also
worthy of attention that tho sweet potato
crop moro than doubled tho Irish potato
crop in value, although the former is not
noticed in tho United States government
reports. The "sugar CROP" it will be
noted, was moro valuable than tho sweet
potato crop and nearly equaled in valuo
the widespread oat crop and the whole
supply of cattle and swine at homo or
marketed abroad. The fact is Of inter-
est because of tho recent extension Of
tho sugar crop to tho States of Georgia
and Florida, and its continued neglect in
other Southern States as we'll adapted
to it.
The record noxt takes tho known value
of the mineral products of tho South for
1900, which was $l20,301, ,502, and the
value of the manufactured products,
exclusive of cotton, in the census year
1900, and adding n reasonable percentage
on both itoms, obtains a total of $780,
100000 for the two in 1900. Adding this
amount again to the 81 ,40S,0O0 900 derived
from agriculture, the grand total is
$2,764, 900, 900, which the Record declares
is the lowest possible estimate.
1t is not a bad showing on the whole,
as it represents an annual production in
tho articles named of about $11O per
capita for the estimated 10000 popu-
lation of the section to which it relates,
but it does not, of course, merely repre-
sent the capabilities of the section,

When Lincoln was a struggling
young lawyer, whose Office furniture
consisted, az he said, of "a chair, a
three-legged table and a rat hole" he
collected thirty-six cents for a client.
Several weeks passed. Lincoln was
hard up, and only through the kind
ness of a friend was he clothed and
fed. Like other young lawyers he
had hope from day to day of additional
business with accompanying fees, but
he did not touch the money in his
hands, and finally turned over to his
client the identical thirty-six cents he
had, received. 1t was a small matter.
but it showed the character of the man
in small things. The money paid to
him was the money he turned over. II
was his rule in after life to keep sepa-
rate the money in his hands belonging
to other persons.

ity of opportunity. He wa In the
fullest sense a self-made man. Not
merely that he hewed for himself q
pathway from obscurity to the highest
civic honors. Other men have done
that. 1t is that he formed for himself
a character upon which his fame was
builded. Born to Aabject poverty. to
neglect and abuse, the miseries Of his
childhood and the sorrows of his youth
deepened the shadow with which his
spirit was endowed by a wretched
mother. Reared in backwoods settle
ments, with the advantages of only
one year of regular schooling, pursued
by adversely until he reached almost
the prime of life, his strength of mind
and heart conquered every obstacle.
He was born to a heritage of gloom.
but be was a capital companion and
a good story-teller. His quaint humor
and wit were due to strangely orig
inal and sometimes grotesque intellec-
tual perceptions and to a marvelously
fertile fancy. He INDUCED these facnl-
ties as much by exercise Of will in
order to throw off the depression
which weighed upon his own spirits
as for the purpose of affording enjoy
ment for others. In his later years,
when cares Of state almost ~overbore
hin, the relief afforded by this relax
alton IS said to have averted utter coll
lapse. In the most serious crisis he
would make some quaint remark or
tell an opposite story that would cause
a laugh, and would Immediately re-
lapse into profound melancholy. But
he did not Cbtrude his gloom upon
others. He was always companionable
in social intercourse. He was the soul
of honor, scrupulously clean in his Life
and had a great, tender heart, pulsat-
ing with sympathy for every creature
in distress. He could not bear to see
anything suffer. Other men have been
admired for their intelleots or hon
ored for their achievements. Abra-
ham Lincoln was loved for his great
heart, human sympathies, and sorrows.

awfully smart, more intelligent than
the average boy. Yes, I felt glad when
they told me that Abe was made presi-
dent, and when the papers referred to
him as President it sounded a little
strange to me, as l always called him
Abe, and would have done so a l

after he was president.
ooh yes, I know of several incidents
connected with the boyhood life Of
Little Abe. Yes, l was a part to one
of them. You know, nowadays a girl

romance connected with her life, and
l suppose it was always thus. Well,
l was Abe's sweetheart.
well, 1 guess TIL have to tell the
whole story of mine and Abe's life.
My father was a pioneer. He came
here from Virginia and settled where
we now live. This Is the same old
house that he built. 1t was a plain old
log house then, but it was weather
boarded many years ago. l was born
in 1903 in this very house. Abe's par
ents came to this county in 1908 and
settled on the now famous Lincoln
homestead, on the other side of Hodg-
enville. Abe was born in 1909. When
Abe was but nine years old his par
ents moved from neal Hodgenville to
this section. They lived on a farm
near this one. They were poor, but
Woodworking people. Abe's father
was a carpenter, but didn't make much.
He couldn't in those days. My father
was tolerably we'll off. The next year
Abe and I started to school together.
About twenty of us chaps were going.
Austin Gollaher was among the num-
Der. Austin was Abe's best boy friend
and I was his best girl friend, so Abe
said. No, Abe wouldn't tell a story.
You see, Abe was too poor a boy to
buy any books, and so was Austin, so
| let them use mine. Abe was a good
student and when We had hard lessons
he always knew his. When lessons
were hard l was glad to let him use
my books, because he would then help
me get my lessons. In that way we
were thrown together a heap, and ma
.turally, a common liking for each other
soon ripened into love. Our school
teacher was strict with us, and some
times he wouldn't let us sit together.

Hodgenville, KY, Correspondence
When Uncle Austin" Gollaher breath
ed his last up in the hills of LaRue
county a year ago, it was said that the
last and only living childhood play
mate of ex-President Lincoln had died,
and that the stories still to be told of
the boyish FRANKS of the great emanci-
pator would be only an echo OF the
dead. But still another survives.
Aged, infirm, and bent with the weight
of SO years, Miss Sallie Castleman lives
all alone in a. little log house back in
a secluded portion of this county, al
most within a stones throw of the lit
tie log schoolhouse where Abe Lin
ccln, Austin Gollaher and she attended
school together four score years age.
All the old structures that clustered
around the hills of that section have
n by n rotted and disappeared,
until now the little log hut stands
alone, and she, the last of little Abe's
companions, it's sole occupant, is quiet
ly winding VI the last years of her
allotted time. Retiring and unassum-
ing, Miss Castleman is beloved by
those of her acquaintance, and her
memory, which is remarkable, has
gained her considerable notoriety. It
is seldom, though, that she assumes a
retrospective mood when she con-
verses.

Pronunciation Of Czolgosz.

F. H. Wolouski, manager of the
Polish National Publishing Company,
says it is very difficult to spell phonet-
ically in English the name of Czol-
gosz. The nearest to it is "Schaw-
gosch," but this is not quite correct.
There is suggestion of the letter T"
in the combination of "Cz" at the be-
ginning of the name and the letter
L" is slurred over in rapid pronunci-
alton. The name might be spelled
phonetically as "Tschawlgosch," but
the sound of the " T" is a little too
harsh, as the combination of "Cz" is
more like German "sch." The sound
OF the letter " l." fades away also
when pronounced by a native of Po-
land.
Sergeant Ter-Isaian of the Detective
Bureau of Chicago, who is a Russian
and who is familiar with the varied
dialects in Polish Russia, from whence
the parents of Leon Czolgosz came to
this country, pronounces the name
Tchollgosch," or more broadly speak
ing Shallgosch." "Cz" is represent.
ed in the Russian alphabet by char
acter which is pronounced much the
same as though one were suppressing
a sneeze-" tch." The next two let
ters-" or"-are pronounced in com.
bination as though written "oll," and
the remaining letters of the name
"gosz" may be given the sound of
"gosch."
No foreigner should be admitted to
this country whose name requires
sneeze for accentuating correct pro-
nunciation, or the spelling of which
piles up the letters in grotesque array.
