srOpY ABOUT LINCOLN.

said:
"None Of the yarns which picture

swapping stories. He never told Q
story except to illustrate some point.
In 1889 I was in Washington and met
Postmaster General Wansmaker. He
said: Il would like to hear q story
about Lincoln that you are willing to
swear is a true bill.' told him this
one:

was q comical cuss to look at. He
was 6dgety and nervous and suffered,
and everybody had fun with him. He

of some case in which Lincoln was in
terested, his leg was resting on q table

IApAN's FOREIGN A


The consular report of the foreign
trade Of Japan for 1900 emphasizes the
baleful effect upon trade of the scare
ity of money and the abnormal expen-
diture upon unproductive works, lead
ing TO an excess Of imports over ex-
ports amounting to ES,5OO,0 900 and a
consequent drain on specie, which for
eign loans could only temporarily re-
lieve.
The United States, says the report,
continues to encroach on spheres OF
trade formerly considered under the
exclusive control of the United King
dom and other nations. American inn
portation of raw cotton doubled in
1899, giving America the lead, while
British India imports diminished one
half.
The report refers to the increase of
imports of American kerosene and the
great development of the Echigo fields
with American machinery largely un-
der the auspices of the Standard OIL
company.
The consul attributes the success
of Americans to thsirswillingness TO
extend their plants and rush orders
70 meet Japanese demands.
The report says that though there
Is considerable talk of trusts only a
coal combine was materialised, the
conditions for trust formation being
unfavorable and promoters lacking
credit and capital.
