LINcOLN'S TENDERNESS.

BercaYed Mother.

As a part of the last Memorial day
services in Broadway Methodist
church, ex-President j. Ii. Martin, of
Moore's Hill college, delivered his lee

Lincoln the man and president. lie

achievements as a lawyer; of his his
torical debates with Douglas and OF
his dramatic political career, with its
tragic ending. says the indianapolis
Journal.
"No story of Lincoln" he said,
"would be complete without some
mention OF his tender, sympathetic
nature. A man Of great physical
strength and moral courage, as well
as firmness Of will, he had all the gen.
tleness Of a woman.
"His heart and sympathies were al

"Mr. Lincoln sat down by his side,
and asked the dying boy II there was
anything he could do for him. i wish
you would write to my mother was
the feeble answer. And the president
wrote it down. signing his own name.
"When he read the letter to the boy,
and came to the closing sentence:

and said; Why, is this our presi-

"Mr. Lincoln answered: Yes, and
now that you know who ] am, is there
anything more can do for your The
dying boy answered: Nothing more,

Much of the larger portions OF a
brain IS composed of white matter
that is, of nerve dbers-which has
nothing whatever TO do with real
brain work and which only carries
messages, says an exchange. Again,
II research is TO be trusted, it Is only
the brain cells of very limited
(probably the frontaD region which
have TO do with the highest mental
operations. When, therefore, we talk
about the size Of head and brain and
the weight of the brain, we should
clearly understand that only an in
finitesimal fraction of the three
pounds weight or so of an ordinary
brain can be reckoned as represent
ing brain cells-that are the agents
of our nervous goyernance. Practi-
cally the brain cells (of the cerebrurn
OF great brain at least) bear no
larger proportion to the brains mass
than the rind Of Dutch cheese does

eye open for an America-bound YES
sci.
June 10, just before the Umbria
sailed, he crept upon the deck, looking
for a hiding place. A lantern was
flashed in his face, and the sentry, be-
lieving he was one of the cabin boys,
ordered him below. Without realizing
his danger the boy crawled into a
boiler which furnishes steam to the
donkey" engine. This boiler was not
used throughout the voyage, or the
boy would have been burned TO death.
Friendly stokers discovered his pres
ence, but instead Of disclosing his Sc
cret, they fed him during the voyage.
Thursday, however, McKechan, the
refrigerator engineer, climbed on top
Of the boiler and proceeded to hang up
some Of his washing TO dry. Just as the
engineer was preparing to descend he
was startled TO see head bob up out
Of the opening in the top Of the boiler
and then disappear again. McKechan
crawled over to the manhole and peered
into the darkness inside the boiler.
He could dimly discern the outlines OF
person, and he shouted TO him to
come out.
Receiving no response the engineer
attempted to reach inside and seize the
boys clothing. but he was severely
bitten for his pains. The engineer,
convinced that something was wrong,
went to Chief Engineer Hardy. After
a struggle and some tight squeezing
past the tubes they managed TO get
their prisoner up to the manhole en-
trance, and he was pulled out.
All laughed when they saw the sup
posed lunatic. He was locked upi the
steamships hospital and when the yes
sci reached port a vigorous search for
the bold lads friend was made. He
was found in Harlem and signed papers
which permitted the young Dalmatian
TO remain in the United States.

Rivaling the tales Of mythical for
tune hunters is the experience of q
little Austrian stowaway in one of the
boilers Of the Umbria, upon its recent
arrival in New York. After the lad,
who is 16 years old, had Travelled
$4,000 miles in quest Of America, he at
last was placed in the hands Of friend
who promised to care for him,
The boys name is Bozo Gacino, and
he comes from Dalmatia, q province
Of Austria. His wanderings began
more than year ago, when his father,
small farmer, gave him 100 forins
and told him to go to America. With
great glee the little Austrian left the
village Of Sebenico, for he and his ell
der brothers quarreled continually,
and he had a friend in America whom
he longed to join. After spending 80
Of his forms, he reached Triest, the
seaport, where he fell in with an oblig-
ing fellow, who, for the remaining 20
forms, agreed to embark Bozo for
America. Bozo gave up his forms,
and the stranger disappeared, leaving
> discouraged little lad to return TO
Dalmatia.
Gacino's father then apprenticed
him to a druggist, but the boy soon
wearied OF long hours and smallwages,
and ran away to Triest, where he hid
in a steamship bound for Egypt. At
Alexandria he slowed away in the
Fabyan and reached Liverpool a week
later. Then ne crawled into the hold
Of the Cunard saxonia. Upon reach
ing New York last spring he was de-
ported, after he had obtained feeting
glance of the busy harbor. When he
was taken back to Liverpool he eyaded
the English immigration officials, and

the cutters, but always kept weather
