The small boy who is in the
habit Of amusing himself by steal,
ing rides on heavily loaded drays
should take lesson from the mar
row escape OF one of the fraternity
who came near being killed one
day this week. This particular
small boy was hanging on to the
rear OF one OF Hanby's drays. when
a heavily loaded box fell from the
dray. The small boy narrowly
escaped being crushed to death,
but it was nothing but a miracle
that saved him. Fond parents
who expect to see their sons one
day occupy the presidential chair
should take the necessary precan-
tions in vigilant warning to the
end that the lives Of young hope
fuls may be spared.

A child Of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepped back against
hot stove and burned him Sc

agony aud his mother could do
nothing to pacify him. Remem-

Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the
house she thought she would try
it. In less than half an hour
after applying it the child was
quiet and asleep. and in less than

Tennis offers perhaps the least
element Of danger to players. La
Junta is fortunate in possessing
fine climate for tennis; the schools
are also fortunate as possessing a
champion in Mr.. Woodruff He
has kindly donated the use of
large tract OF ground across from
Mrs. Barngrover's, for tennis pur-
poses. Four courts have been
constructed. Some of the enter
prising lads have been asking for
small contributions from citizens
toward meeting the expenses OF a
court. Eugene Brown and Chaun-
cey Beach are the proud owners
of SET Harry RaPp and Virgil
Smith have also taken steps for a
court OF their own. The pupils
Of Miss Beck's room may be seen
playing almoss every night on
their court. Contributors are
urged TO don slippers. borrow
racquets and get in the game as
they have a right to do.
Tennis is peculiarly a game for
both boys and girls, for both phy
sical and social reasons. 1t is al
ways an interesting game, more
especially for players. To the
outsider nothing seems doing but
batting a ball back and forth over
some woven twine. There are
many intricate points, however,
and many to remember. Any
amount Of skill may be shown in
placing balls. in curving them,
dropping them as in baseball, and
in swift serving. There is some
talk of regular tournament and
Of challenging any neighboring
teams.

ly feeling that he spoke for the whole,
cried out, "This is cowardly on your
part, Lincoln" Whereupon the tall
captains figure stretched a few inches
higher again. He looked down upon
these varlets who would have muir
dered a defenceless old Indian, and
now Guailed before his single hand,
with lofty contempt. The oldest of his
acquaintance, even Bill Green, who
saw him grapple Jack Armstrong and
defy the DULLES at his back, never saw
him so much aroused" before. eff
any man thinks l am a coward; let
him test it," said he Lincoln" re-
sponded new voice, you are larger
and heavier than we are" This you
can guard against; choose your wea-
pons,' returned the rigid captain.
Whatever may be said of Mr.. Lin
coins choice of means for the preser-
Walton of military discipline it was
certainly very effectual in this case,
There was no more disaffection in his
camp, and the word coward" was
never coupled with his name again.
Mr.. Lincoln understood his men bet
ter than those who would be disposed
to criticise his conduct. He has often
declared himself, that his life and
character We're both at stake, and
would probably have been lost, had he
not at that supremely critical moment
forgotten the officer and asserted the
man. To have ordered the offenders
under arrest would have created a
formidable mutiny; to have tried and
punished them would have been i'm
possible. They could scarcely be call
ed soldiers; they were merely armed
citizens. with a nominal military Or
ganization. They were but recently
enlisted, and their term of service
was just about to expire. Had he
preferred charges against them. and
offered to submit their differences to
a court of any sort, it would have
been regarded as an act of personal
pusillanimity, and his efficiency would
have been gone forever

"NIr. Lincoln's first ap
pearance on the stump, in the
course of the canvass, was at
Pappsville, about eleven miles west
OF Springfield, upon the occasion
OF a public sale by the firm Of
Poog d KNAPP. The sale over. speech
making was about to begin, when Mr..
Lincoln observed strong symptoms of
lnattention in his audience, who had
taken that particular moment to en-
gage in what Mr.. James A. Ierndon
pronounces "a general fight Lincoln
saw that one Of his friends was suffer-
ing more than he liked in the melee;
and, stepping into the crowd, he
shouldered them sternly away from
his man, until he met fellow who re-
fused to fall back; him he seized by
the nape of his neck and the stat of
his breeches, and tossed him ten or
twelve feet easily After this episode
as characteristic of him as OF the
times-he mounted the platform. and
delivered, with awkward modesty, the
following speech:

humble Abraham Lincoln. l have
been solicited by many friends to be-
come candidate for the legislature.
My politics are short and sweet, like
the old woman's dance. | am in favor
OF national bank. l am in favor of
the internal-improvemen system and
high protective tariff. These are my
sentiments and political principles. If
elected, shall be thankful; if not. it
will be all the same
I'm these few sentences Mr.. Lincoln
adopted the leading principle of the
Wing party-Clay's American Sys-
tenn in full. In his view, as we shall
see by another paper from him when,
again candidate in 1884, the internal
Improvement system required the dis
tribution Of the proceeds Of the sales
of the public lands amongst the states.
He says nothing of South Carolina, of
notification, of disunion; and on these
subjects it is quite probable his views
were like Mr.. Webster's, and his SYM
pathies with Jackson. The opinions
announced in this speech, on all the
subjects touched by the speaker, were
as emphatically Wing as they could
be made in words"

In the Senate,


Washington. Feb. 4.-Another spirit
ed debate with the Philippine tariff
bill as the text was precipitated in the
senate yesterday as the result of some
statements made by Mr.. Carmack
(Dem., TENN in the course of an ex-
tended speech on the general Philip
pine question. It was the Tennessee
senator's first speech in the senate and
he was given notably good attention on
both SIDES of the chamber At the
conclusion Of his address Mr.. Bever-
idge of Indiana challenged some Of his
statements. The debate which ensued
was very lively for a few minutes,
taking on political phase which
proved particularly interesting to the
auditors who crowded the floor as well
as the galleries. Mr.. Beveridge and
Mr. Tillman became involved in q
heated colloquy in which the ex-
changes We're as hot as both senators
we'll could make them.
Prior to the taking up Of the Philip
pine bill the measure providing for an
Increase in the salaries of United
States judges was under discussion for
an hour In the course of the debate
the case Of Judge Arthur H. Noyes of
the district court of Alaska was drawn
upon to show why some judges should
not be given the increase.
In the House.
The house devoted the day to gen.
eral debate upon the oleomargarine
bill The opponents of the measure
attempted to flibuster against it at
the opening Of the session, but were
beaten by more than Il two-thirds
vote.

of this gentle lady in her
last days is given as follows:
Mrs. Lincoln was never able to

back over those long years of poverty

rigors of her lot, and his great heart
and giant frame were always at her
command. Abe was poor boy said
she, and can say what scarcely one
woman-a mother-can say in thou
sand. Abe never gave me a cross word
or look, and never refused, in fact or
appearance, to do anything requested
him. never gave him a cross word
in all my life. His mind and
mine-what little I had--seemed to
run together. So He was here

In the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 6. = Throughout
yesterdays session the senate had I'M
der consideration the urgent deficiency
appropriation BILL and just before ad-
journment passed it substantially in
the shape in which it was reported to
the senate by The committee. \
During the early part Of the session
the case of Judge Arthur II. Noyes of
the district court of Alaska and Alex
ander Mckenzie and others was dis
cussed. Mr.. McCumber of North Da-
kota delivered an elaborate speech in
defense of Judge Noyes and MI. Nc
KenZie. He became involved in a col
loquy with Mr.. Tillman, who said he
appeared in the novel attitude of a
defender of the United States judiciary.
In a brief speech Mr.. Stewart re-
viewed the case, speaking strongly
against Judge Noyes and his actions in
Alaska.
In the House.
An agreement was reached in the
house whereby the oleomargarine bill
will be brought to vote after two
moro days Of consideration, one to be
devoted to general debate and one to
debate under the five-minute rule. The
debate yesterday continued in desul-
tory fss hion without special incident.
In the Senate.
Washington, Feb. For four hours
yesterday the senate had the Philippine
tariff bill under discussion. The
measure was completed, SO far as the
Philippine committee is concerned, all
of the committee amendme nts being
adopted. Several other amendments
however, will be offered, one Or two be-
ing pending.
Toward the close of the session the
discussion became heated. In re-
Spouse to a resolution offered several
days ago by Mr.. Rawlins of Utah, the
secretary of war transmitted to the
senate the sedition laws enacted by the
Philippine commission. They We're
read in full and Immediately drew the
fire OF the opponents Of the govern
ment's Philippine policy. Mr.: Hoar OF
Massachusetts expressed his astonish-
ment that such laws should be en-
forced by the government authorities
Mr.. Foraker Of Ohio, had read from.
the revised statutes of the United
State" the laws of congress: relating to-
the crime of treason and Similar Of
lenses against the government, and
said that the acts passed by the Philip
pine commission were almost identicai
in their language with the laws enacted
by congress in the days of the fathers
Of the republic, and that there was
nothing unprecedented or unusual
about them.
The Ohio. senator was interrupted
continually and had several warm COL
loauies with senators who We're oppos-
ing him. In one of them he announced
with great earnestness that the Amerf-
car army never would return from the
Philippines unit! it returned victorious,
and that gentlemen in and out of con-
gress, rail about 1t as they might, ought
thoroughly to understand that fact.
In conclusion OF the debate Mr.. Hoar
poured oil on the troubled waters Of the
senate, maintaining that men might
differ on any of the great questions
now before the country, but that all

and We're doing their duty as they saw
