WHY LINCOLN QUIT.

War President Admitted Justice of Seq
Rotary Stewards Reproof.
Lincoln day" this year brought out
several characteristic stories of the
martyred President, some of which
may be new, all of which are good.
observes the Youths Companion. One
relates to that extreme, correctively
critical attitude which Secretary Sc
ward always maintained toward the
President. Mr.. Lincoln and the secre-
tary had managed to escape from
man who had been boring them, and
as they reached the house the Presi-
dent threw himself into an armchair
and exclaimed: by jings! governor,
we are here!' Mr. Seward replied by
asking in a reproving tone: Mr.. Presi-
dent, where did you learn that inele-
CANT expression?" Mr. Lincoln imme-
diately turned to several young men
who had entered the room in time to
hear the exclamation, and said:
Young gentlemen, excuse me for
swearing before you. BY jings' is
swearing, for my good old mother
taught me that anything that by
before it is swearing 1 won't do SO
any more" Another characteristic an
ecdote of Lincoln dates back to the
time Wnen Inere were SO many fires
at the national capital that suspicion
of incendiaries was entertained, and
various northern cities began to offer
the services of special fire brigades.
The authorities of Philadelphia in par
ticular were most urgent and sent a
special committee to wait on the Presi-
dent and urge him to accept the serv-
ices of such a brigade. The committee
was tedious and 1ong-winded, and the
President was anxious TO get back to
the public business which demanded
his attention Finally, seeing no pros
poet of termination of the interview
in the usual way, he interrupted one
of the orators in the midst of a grand
Eloquent fight by saying: "Ah. yes
gentlemen, but it is mistake to sup
pose that I am the head of the fire de-
partment in Washington. am merely
the President of the United States"

but the thousand years reign of the
saints and the second advent The
usual, if not the only, objection then
urged to the imminence of the consum-
nation of all things was that the lost
ten tribes must first be discovered, and
that the Jews must be restored to the
Holy Land. 1t was also a debated
question whether the pope was anti

Their political forecasts commanded
considerable credence, although their

believed, how-ver, to datermine the
weather. Another way of reading the
future was to open the Bible at ran

boys among the children is great. But
it is hoped that, as some of the girls
grow older, they can be induced to
leave the island. The third difficulty
is less serious, being simply the adop-
ton among the islanders of what is
practically a new language sort of
dialect or pigeon English, the result
of slurring or clipping Anglo-Saxon
words. This has now gone SO far that
some of the people are really slow
about understanding when ordinary
English is spoken to them.
Twice the folk on the little isolated
dot of land have become dissatisfied,
feeling that they needed more elbow
room. and have transplanted them
selves, but both times they elected to
return. The first exodus took place in
1881, when the Pitcairn people wanted
to go to Tahiti. They were sent there,
but the uncouth ways of their mothers
countrymen and their carelessness
about clothing and morals shocked the
disciples of John Adams and they
got back as fast as possible and lived
contentedly at Pitcairn until 1856.
Then about two hundred of them took
ship for Norfolk island and lived there
for awhile, but soon grew homesick
and took the first opportunity of re-
turning to Pitcairn.
