LlNCOLN,S LOGIC.
How Old Abe Learned 20 Tell When
Thing II Proved.

n Thing II Proved.
A man who heard Abraham Lincoln
speak I'm 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: at was my terrible
encouragement which did that for me.
When | was n young man, went into
an office TO study law. | saw that n
lawyers business is largely TO prove
things. | said to myself, Lincoln,
when is a thing provedY That was a
poser. What constitutes proof? Not
evidence; that was not the point.
There may be evidence enough, but
wherein consists the proof? I groaned
over the question, and finally said to
myself, Ah, Lincoln. you can't tell
Then thought what use is 1t for me
TO be in a law Office IL can't tell when
a thing Is proved?
so l gave 1t up and went back
home. Soon after l 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. | therefore began at
the beginning, and before spring | had
gone through the old Euclld's geometry
and could demonstrate every PROPOSE
ton in the book Then I'm the spring,
when had got through with 1t, said
to myself one day. 'Ah. do you know
when n thing is provedY and an
swered, Yes, sir, do. Then you may
go back to the law shop and went"

Mud 50 stiff it would clog a plow
And couldn't be stirred with a wheel nohow;

Nothing seemed right. but everything wrong.

Dogs in a native or wild state never
bark. They simply whine, howl and
growl The noise which we call bark
ing is found only among those that are
domesticated. Columbus found that TO
be the case with the dogs he first
brought to America and left at large,
for on his return he tells us that they
had lost their propensity to bark. Sci
entific men say that barking Is really
an effort on the part of the dog to
speak.

also his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He

without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
