When Lincoln's Wife Pulled His
Hair.

Mrs. II. A Baldwin an old lady now
living in Los Angeles who was a close
neighbor of the LinColns I'm Springfield
Illinois, give the following personal
recollection Of Lincoln in Lesle's
Monthly.
while Mr.. Lincoln was living in
Springfield a judge of the city, who
was one of the leading and most in
tluential men of the place, had occa-
sion to call upon him. Mr.. Lincoln was
not over particular in his matter Of
dress and was also careless in his
manners, The JUG &c was ushered into
the parlor where he found Mr.. Lincoln
sprawled out across a couple Of chairs,
reclining at his ease. The judge was
asked to be seated, and, without
changing his position in the least, Mr..
Lincoln entered into conversation with
his visitor.
while the two were talking Mrs.
Lincoln entered the room, She was,
OF course, greatly embarrassed a Mr..
Lincoln's offhand manner OF enter
tanning his caller, and stepping up be-
hind her husband she grasped him by
the hair and twitched his head about
at the same time looking at him re-
provingly.
MIR. Lincoln apparently did not
notice the rebuke. He simply looked
up at his wife, then across to the
judge, and, without rising said
Little Mary, allow me 10 intro
duce you TO my friend, Judge So-and-
So.
1T will be remembered that Mrs.
Lincoln's maiden name was Mary
TODD, and thai she was very short in
stature"

CANADA'S NEW MINT.
The People Not Quite Certain
Whether They Want One or Not.

From the Buffalo Express
After years of agitation the Canadian
government has decided to establish
branch of the royal mint in the
Dominion. II will be located in Otta
wa and the government will ask par
lament for an appropriation of $50, 900
for the cost of building and equipment
ana an annual appropriation of $75. 900
TO guarantee the royal mint authorities
the expenses of the Canadian branch,
canada is not quite certain that il
wants a mint. The minister of finance
ADMITTED, in presenting his resolution
IN the house of commons recently,
Inat 'he desire TO have mint in
Canada might be said 10 he the out-
come OF a legitimate national pride"
The probable incentive was jealousy
OF the stream Of Klondike and British
Columbia gold which poured through
Seattle into the United States mints.

Danger in Antifat Remedies.

The newspapers tell of man out in
Indiana brought to the point of death
as the result of the use of remedies for
obesity. Two years ago the man
weighed $50 pounds. He began to take
antifat remedies. He lost flesh rapidly
but impaired his constitution. Ulcer
alton of the stomach and liver set in,
and an Indianapolis specialist was
called and said his death was only a
matter of time. Antifat remedies, as
a rule, are dangerous and should be
avoided. The most effective and
sensible remedy for obesity are exer-
else and proper diet. Massage, which
has the same effect as exercise in a
degree, may also be recommended,
but walking, horseback riding or any
other activity in the open air, if per-
sisted in regularly, will not fail to re-
duce the flesh, and that is a normal
and healthy way. If at the same time
the patient will put himself on sim
pie diet, which may be prescribed by
any physician, the desired result will
be still further fastened. Leslie

DR.. BjeIland Gets the Plum With

w. E. Edwards Reelected Court House
JanitOr, and W. P. Lewis Overseer
of the Poor Farm.

The county board has chosen DR..
Bjelland county physician for the city
district by unanimous vote. The
salary is left at 5000 year, the physi-
clan to furnish his own medicine. It
was voted that no poor are to receive
treatment except upon an order from
the county commissioner.
All of the rest of the county physi-
clans were reelected except that the
position at Mapleton was left open
until the next meeting.
W. E. Edwards was reelected JAM
tor of the court house without opp osi-
tion.
w. P. Lewis was again elected over
seer of the poor farm, receiving three
votes. Com. Epson desired that the
election be postponed until the next
meeting, and when this was not favor
ed, two of the commissioners refrained
from voting on overseer.

several times the places to be given
out By unanimous vote it was de-
cided not to make any appointments
for the present. The members of the
commission wish to thoroughly fam
iliarize themselves with all the depart
ments for which they are responsible
and, until they have done so, the pres
emit incumbents will hold the jobs,
each of which several Republicans are
willing to take. A member of the
commission said last evening there
would be no appointments made with
in thirty days and that some of them
would probably not be made earlier
than March.
