Abraham Lincoln.
olives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime;
And departing leave behind us


And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time"
The month of February, notwith-
standing it's biting winds and drifting
snow, is dear to every PATRIOTS heart.
On the 22nd of this month we cele-
brate the birthday of him to whom
more than anyone else we owe the
formation Of this government, and on
the 18th the preservation of the birth
of him more than to anyone else we
owe the preservation of that govern
ment. While the birthday of Wash
ington is remembered and celebrated
in nearly every village or country
school the birthday of Lincoln often
passes by aforementioned. Lately,
however, the observance of Lincoln
birthday is becoming more general,
and the names Of Washington and
Lincoln are being joined together as
the names of the two greatest Ameri-
cans ever produced by this country.
OF these two, however, Lincoln was
more typically American, and illus
trates better the grand possibilities of
democratic form of government. We
gaze gpon the majestic figure of Wash
ington, towering above his contempor-
aries, with reverence and awe, but
upon Lincoln with sincerest love and
a feeling of kinship. While Washing
ton is justly called the ''father of his
country" Lincoln was to all who
knew him, Gather Abraham. %.
Washington was refined, polished, ar
iStocratic to the finger tips, a slave
holder, and brought up in the family
of an English nobleman. His sur
roundings from the very beginning of
his life were favorable to the develop
ment of a we'll rounded character.
Lincoln's ancestry is well described by
the expressive phrase still used in the
south at the present time, ''poor white
trash" His surroundings from the
very first were averSe to the develop
ment of more than mere rail-Split-
ter. Nature, ancestry, environment
did nothing for him. That he rose
superior to all opposing circumstances
shows his moral strength, and innate
nobility of soul. He stands alone
among American heroes. his life not
modelled after the life of any preced-
ing him. So uncouth. ungainly, and
awkward was he that he was called
even by Stanton the original gorilla. %
The Lincoln of the White House was
no other than the Lincoln of the vii
lage store or the Illinois courtroom.
His manners underwent no change.
When his comfort demanded it, he
propped his feet upon the White
House mantle without realizing that
his manners were not perfectly Vir-
ginian. He greeted old friends and
acquaintance whom he met at the
stately White House receptions as he
greeted them formerly in his dingy
law Office or on the streets of Spring

better for his having lived in it. 'Die

said of me by those who knew me best
that I always plucked a thistle, and
planted flower when I thought
flower would grow" Very appropri-
ateIy was he called Gather Abra-
ham," Men and women came freely
to him with their sorrows or griev4ns
ceS. The sick or wounded soldier, the
broken hearted widow, the weeping
orphan, shared their sorrows in com
mon with Lincoln, and knew that his
great heart as well as theirs groaned
under the awful burden. No ruler
ever manifested such sympathy, ten
derneSS, and love towards his people
as did Lincoln. Like another Jere-
miah he ''mourned the slain of the
daughter of his people," During the
frst week of the battle of the Wilder
ness, Carpenter says he hardly slept
at all. Pacing up and down a narrow
passage of the White House, his hands
behind him, great black rings under
his eyes, his head bent forward upon
MS breast he formed picture Of the
sorrow, anxiety and care which were

externals saw in him only button
who by some strange turn of American
politics had been cast in the presiden,
tial chair, but those who learned tC
know him recognized his nobility OF
soul, and hailed him as natures first
nobleman.
To understand Lincoln's life and
character we must remember that he
cared not for manners, forma1ities,
personal appearance or certain modes
of doing things. What he did care for
was principal, truth, the substance of
things, and to these he chung with a
grasp which was relaxed only in death.
Those who view his life from stand
point of manners, nOn-eSSentialS, and
forms consider him freak of Ameri-
can politics. Those who view his life
from standpoint of principle and
truth recognize in him the man, call
ed by Providence to be the prophet
and guide of the American people dur
ing the most mOmentouS period of our
history. Only when viewed from this
standpoint can we account for his sue
cess during the dark days Of the civil
war. and his hold upon the minds and
hearts Of the American people.
One of the great elements of Lin
coins greatness was his earnestnesS.
Many speak and think of him only
as the unsurpassed narrator of stories,
which convulSed even his most bitter
political opponents with laughter. He
seems to them trifier, who did not
feel the great responsibility of the
high Office to which he was called.
And yet no man occupying the presi-
Dental chair before him or after him
was more thoroughly in earnest. In
comparison with him all other pOliti-
Cal leaders of the time we trif1erS. He
looked upon the political issue of the
day as a great moral question, and
plunged into the strife with such
compelled to listen, and listening were
convinced. In a time when all was
chaos, when political leaders were
trifiing, compromising, faltering;
when the people were bewildered, con-
fused, and asking for a leader who
would guide them to the paths of
truth and justice, the voice of Lincoln
was heard as a voice of a prophet OF
old as he said: 81 know there is a
God and that He hates injustice and
slavery. 1 see the storm coming, and
I know that His hand is in it. If He
has a place and work for me-and
think He haS-I believe I am repdy.
am nothing, but truth is every
thing. 1 know that am right, be-
cause I know that liberty is right, for
Christ teaches it, and Christ is God.
Douglas don't care whether slavery is
voted up or down, but God cares, and
humanity cares, and care, and with
Gods help I shall not fail :" There is
no uncertain sound in these words.
They come from a heart afire with
earneStneSS, heart devoted to trutL
and right. Lincoln could not equivC.
cate, be could not cbmpsUmise, tis

could not act the part of a demogogut
to win popular applause or favor, be
cause he was SO thoroughly in earnest
Had he spoken otherwise he would
have been untrue to himself, and CON
tradicted the deepest and best i'm
pulses of his heart. The people who
had been divided by the contrary
counSels, and driven hither and thith-
er by the ambiguous words of So-called
| leaders heard the voice of this new
prophet, and turned instinctively to
| him, knowing that at last guide had
come who would lead them into the
light. To that last awful moment
when the aSsassin's bullet ended his
earthly career, they followed, trusted,
believed, and loved him. During the
dark days of the civil war, days which
tried mems souls, when the foe was
drawing near the country's capitol
when Union generals blundered and
wavered, when foreign aid and sympa-
thy was laviShed upon those who
would rend the Union asunder Lin
coin never for moment faltered or
compromised with falSehood. Weaker
souls trembled, and cried for piece at
any price, but Lincoln was firm in the
right as God had given him to see the
right. He was as much in earnest in
carrying out his principles in the face
of almost unconquerable opposition as
he was in proclaiming them before an
applauding and Sympathizing audi
ence. His earneStneSS could not have
received a more severe test. This
burning earneStneSS, which character
lied his whole life, is a large element
of his greatness. 1t was not the earn
eStneSs of a fanatic or hare-braIned
enthusiast, but the earneStneSS OF
man who knew he was right, and who
knew he was right because his knowl-
edge is placed upon Divine truth.
Another element of his greatness
was his sympathy with his fellowmen.
Lincoln was intensely human. Where
others suffered, wept, or rejoiced he
did the same. His elevation to the
presidency did not make him great. 1t
only made the elements of his great
ness more prominent. He lived and
died as the unknown, struggling Hi
nois lawyer, he would, nevertheless,
have been the same earnest, Sympa-
thetic, and honest patriot, lending a
helping hand to all in trouble, CON-
forting the sorrowing and earning the
love and gratitude of all who knew
him. Napoleon was great as a gener-
al, Demostenes as an orator, Byron as
d boet, but Lincoln was great as a
man. Take from Napoleon his gener-
alship, from DemoStenes his orator1,
from Byron the gift of poetry, nothing
remains but a despicable character ]
AS men they have no claim to our ad- |
miration. Take from Lincoln the
presidency he still retains our love
and admiration for he possessed tina,
nobility of soul, and that true human !
ity which alone makes man truI, |
great. He lived TO help and benent /
others. Hs wantgu the TUtfd to bel

Several Cubans who are at present resi-
dents of this city were surprised this week
when, on applying at the local agency of
a big insurance company, they discovered
that their risks were not desired by the
corporation a present. but that they
would have to wait at least two years be-
fore making application. The ruling was
made by the examining physician after
the local agent had assured the Cubans
that they would make HrSt-class risks. 1t
is held by the physician, who is promir ent
locally, that Cubans who have been in
the northern part of this country bu- a
short time are very bad risks. The rea-
sons given are that the natives come to
city like Washington and live here like
Cubans. They drink as much black cOf-
fee and smoke as many cigarettes. and
their habits. while healthful in their ma
tive climate. are rIinous here. After a
fiVe-year residence here the average Gu
ban is weaned from his native ways and

American Indian. As the Anthropologicai
