For the last two or three seasons peo-

made a practice OF getting their pic

in order to curtail the cost the ambi
tious travellers look up the tintype
men. This habit of economy has been
a blessing to me as well as to the stay
at-homes A regular photograph would
bear the name of the artist as well as
the address, and thus make deception
impossible, but most tintypes look

turn you read: All that is understood
since Virchow wrote or words to that
effect. and you are referred to the
multifarious experimenting articles
scattered through many professional
and technical periodicals.
Professor Virchow was born in
Pomerania in 1921 and was graduated
from the University of Berlin in 1S43
Four years later he was a regular lee
turer there. In lS49 he seceived a call
to the chair of pathological anatomy at
Wurzburg. a position which he held
until 1856. when by the unanimous
vote OF the faculty he was recommend
ed for and received the appointment
which he still holds-namely. profess
sor Of pathological anatomy at Ber-
lin. Prior to leaving Berlin he formed
IN 1s47 his celebrated "Archiv." which
is regarded as the greatest storehouse
OF facts in scientific medicine possessed
by the world today.

Throughout the German empire
great fetes were recently held in hon

Pro. Rudolph Virchow, the greatest
scientist perhaps living. And not only
in Germany was the event celebrated.
Here in the United States. in Argen-
tine and distant Australia, in all of
continental Europe and in England,
in South American countries and in
far-off Japan celebrations were held
in honor OF the celebrated physician,
who has added so much to the medi-

to emigration on an extended scale.
In 1928 3.100 OF them came to this

LINCOLN'S AvENGER.


Some Stories Illustrating Boston Cor
belts Impulslveness and Courage.
Sallie Bruner Houston tells the Smith
County (KanD Pioneer curious story
of how she received the news of the
assassination of Lincoln, Garfield and
Mckinley. She was 4 years old at the
date of the assassination of Lincoln
but she remembers that when the news
came to her fathers farmhouse she
leaned up against the big fireplace
and cried" while her mother wiped
her own eyes with her apron OF
the assassination of Garfield Mrs.
Houston relates this story: AT that
time We were living on our farm six
miles south of Concordia, this state.
Several of the family. including my
self, were sitting in the yard with Bos
ton Corbett, the man who shot the as
sassin of Lincoln. At that time Cor
bett lived on a farm near u.s. While
we sat there my father came from
town and brought the news of the
shooting of President Garfield. Every
one who remembers Corbett remem-
bers his impulsive nature. He was
quick as cat. The news seemed to
electrify him. He jumped to his feet
saying: 4 wish l were there We all
knew what he meant. There would
have been no trial for GuiteaI. All
who ever knew Boston Corbett knew
that he would have shot Guiteau on
the spot had he Deen there. 1t was
about this time that Corbett was ar
rested on complaint of some of his
neighbors for some petty offense and
taken to Concordia for trial before a
justice of the peace. He thought that
he was not getting justice, so he drew
his ever-ready revolver and ordered
them out and thus cleared the court
room. He then mounted his little
black pony and went home. There
was a great deal of talk of having him
rearrested, and several persons went
to his home to do SO, but did not have
the courage to do so. AS they always
returned without him, the case was
finally dropped
