Nearly every week in New York for

be study of an old man by Rubens,

twice the size of It's mate, and the term
"rnrc" did certainly apply very APPLY

A Pair of Horses That stopped When

A pair of intelligent horses attracted
the attention of Il large crowd on Mas

They were attached to heavily load

grade between Cedar street and Maid

wagon with n noticeable effort. When
they were half way down, the whistles
blew for u o'clock. Suddenly the
horses drew In toward the curb ana
began to plant their hind feet well for
ward to stop the wagon.
The driver made no effort to check
them, and their hard work ut once at

the horses and then at the driver, who
had broad grin on his face" Ey hard
work the wagon was stopped. The
driver sat still and watched his ami

LINCOLN'S LOGIC.
How Old Abe Learned to Tell When
"a Thing Is Proved.

A man who heard Abraham Lincoln
speak in Norwich, Conn, some time
before he was nominated for president,
was greatly impressed by the closely
knit logic of the speech. Meeting him
next day on a train he asked him how
he acquired his wonderful logical pow
ers and such acuteness in analysis.
Lincoln replied: cit was my terrible
Encouragement which did that for me.
When [ was a young man, went into
an office to study law. I saw that a
lawyers business is largely to prove
things. I said to myself, Lincoln
when is a thing proved? That was a
evidence; that was not the point.
There may be evidence enough, but
wherein consists the proof? [ groaned
over the question, and finally said to
myself, 'Ah, Lincoln, you can't tell
Then 1 thought what use is it for me
to be in a law office if can't tell when
thing is proved?
$50 gave it up and went back
home. Soon after 1 returned to the
old log cabin I fell in with a copy Of
Euclid. I had not the slightest notion
of what Euclid was, and thought
would find out I therefore began at
the beginning, and before spring had
gone through the old Euclid's geometry
and could demonstrate every PROPOSE

to myself one day, 'Ah, do you know
when a thing is proved" and 1 an

Want an United Party,
One feature of the fair was the pres
ence of politicians. There were a num-
Der of stalwartS there from the Mil
waukee offices, and some men credited
with an ambition to go on the next
for them to put in their time, for all
the men of local influence are there
and in a genial mood. The Republic
an situation was canvassed thorough
ly. The sentiment seems to be as |
have repeatedly indicated, that Sen
atOr SpOOner is a credit to party and
state, and that Governor LaFollette is
entitled to denomination. The rank
and file Of citizens are prone to be
forgotten by Milwaukee and Madison
people. But when one gets near the
people the incidents of warfare Ola
which leaders lay so much stress do
not appear to strike deeply. There is
Il general impression that John C..
SpOoner is a great, big man, and all
equally strong conviction that LaFOl-
Iette is solicitOus to secure tax and
other reforms for the common people.
These are two vital facts of the sit
uation. 1t is said that the busy staff
at work in the Herman building rep
resents an expense of $500 to 800 a
Gay, and certainly emissaries are
busy over the state to foster the pro-
test that movement is supposed to
voice. Of course, with money ard
newspapers and brains, caucuses can
be shaped to Il large extent; but if the
average man is to be a factor in the
strife, he will do nothing revolution
airy. There is little personal enthus-
iasm to crush anyone; and practically
everybody developes the plight into
which the party is plunged. In such
a frame Of mind influential men of
both factions find the citizen, and it is
difficult to get up any excitement. The
attitude is one of waiting and of hope,
the latter a development from de-
Spair.

CHEERED THE CENSOR.
How Gallant Irish Regiment Took
Rn After Battle ScoIdinE

latte ScO1d1nE.
The leading regiment of our column
was the Fifty-third, commanded that
day by Major Payn. afterward General
Sir William Payn, Is. c. B., very fine
regiment, who, being mostly Irishmen,
were eager to meet their enemy. Mean
while received orders to cross the riv-
er by ford and get round the enemy's
right flank, and l had gone for this
purpose and was crossing about quar-
ter OF mile lower down. when sud-
denly l heard loud cheering and a
heavy musketry fire, and then / saw
our troops CALAMITY advancing across
the bridge to the assault.
1t turned out to be the Fifty-third,
who, tired of the delay under fire and,
it was whispered, hearing that Sir
Colin had sent for his pet highlanders
to take the bridge, took their bits be-
tween their teeth and without any
further orders determined to rush the
bridge themselves, which they accord
ingly did, and with great success. The
enemy, once forced out of their posi-
ton, showed but poor, desultory
fight and, as at Cawnpur, fell an easy
prey to the cavalry, who, having cross
ed, some by the bridge and others, in
Guiding myself, by the ford, fell on
them and pursued them with such sue
cess that we captured every gun they
had.
The Fifty-third were well pleased
with themselves and the result of the
fight they had so suddenly initiated,
but we heard that Sir Colin was great
ly annoyed with them and after the ac-
ton rated them soundly for their in
subordinatiOn. But little did these
wild Irishmen care. They had had
their fight, and real good one, so far
as they were concerned, and as Sir
Colin concluded his speech of rebuke
they gave hi1a three cheers, and giving
three cheers more for General Mans
field, Sir Collins chief Of staff, who
had formerly commanded their regi-
ment, they quite upset the chiefs equa-
nimity, but at the same time cleared
away his wrath.-"Old Memories"
