The writer has obtained his IN

The writer has obtained his IN
formation from biography, from Lin
coins law partner for twenty-five
years, and others who had opportun-
ity to know the man. If the Sena-
tor really knows Lincoln, he is more
fortunate than most of Lincoln's con-
temporaries; because it is admitted
on all hands, that he was one of the
most reticent and secretive men in
history.
It has almost passed into pro7erb,
that great men have great mothers.
Lincoln despised his father and had
no tender feelings for his mother;
which may be one reason why he be-
came confirmed infdel. If he was
so unfortunate in parentage, how did
he become so great? On what food
did the Senator'S mighty Caesar feed
that he became so great beyond all
of his countrymen?
It is said that Lincoln was great
lover of Burns writings, from which
he derived the simplicity and nerve
of his style. He was, however, more
fond of Tam O'Shanter, Death and
DR.. Hornbook and Hollie Willis,
Prayer than he was of The Mountain
Daisy and The Lament of Glen
c9irn.
Lincoln is also said to have been
an admirer and disciple of Voltaire.
according to this writer, the "lie is a
vice only when it does harm; it a
great virtue when it does good" and
that "great politicians ought always
to deceive the people," 1t is not
known whether Lincoln ever read
this portion of the writer in question:
but there is good evidence going to
show that he sometimes practlced
dupliclty and double dealing.
W. z. Bateman says that, a few
days before the presidential election
in 1850, Lincoln ascertalned that
large majority of the ministers and
prominenu church members, had de-
cided that they would not vote for
him, on account of his deistical views.
He came into the Office of Bateman,
and exhibited considerable emotion,
on account of this information. He
also declared that he believed IN the
Bible When this friend told him,
that his friends generally, were lg-
norant that he entertained such SEN
timents, he answered quickly Il
know they are; have to appear diff
ferent to them"
Notwithstanding Lincoln was a
very reticent man, and selfish withsl,
occasionally the real animus OF the
man would crop out. "If ever, said
he, American society, and the United
States government, are demoralized

BY Way of Comparison.

We suppose many people think
newspaper men are persistent duns.
BY way Of comparison let US suppose
a farmer raises 1000 bushels of wheat
year and he sells this out to 900
persons in all parts Of the county. a
great portion of them saying, II will
hand you the dollar in a short time
OF course the farmer don't want to be
small about it and he says all right.
Soon his 1000 bushels of wheat are
all gone, but he has little money to
show for it. and the farmer then real.
ICES that he has frittered away his
whole wheat crop and that its value
is due him in a thousand little drib.
bles, consequently he is seriously en-
barrassed in his business because his
debtors, each owing only 81. treat it
as a small matter. and of course think
it would not help much. Continue
this kind of business year in and year
out. as the publisher does, how long
could he or would he stand It? A
moments thought will convince any
one that publisher has cause for
persistent dunning.-Fort Smith Ele-

SQUASH BUG IN SUMMER.
Hand Picking Becomes Difficult, and
Spraying Is q Resort.

Hand Picking Becomes Difficult, and
Spraying Is a Resort.
In some regions, and among them
New Hampshire, the squash bug has
become one of the most notable insect
pests Of the past season or two Messrs.
Weed and Conrad Of that state have
been considering its many dark and
devious ways and would treat it as
follows during the summer: AS the
season advances the combating Of the
pest becomes more difficult problem.
The full grown bugs have laid eggs
early in the season. These hatch and
the young nymphs are less conspicuous
than the adult. At this time bugs of
all sizes are present in greater or less
numbers
When the method of hand picking is
employed, many of these nymphs con-
cealed below clods, old leaves or other
places or even when exposed upon the
surface are likely to be overlooked.
To avoid this it is desirable at this
time to use the kerowater spray that
win Kill the bugs without inJuring the
vines
An s per cent mixture of kerowater
that will kill the bugs is fatal to the
tender squash plants. The odor of
kerowater, however, is very offensive
to the bugs. A mixture having a typ
icai kerosene odor- say, per cent
when sprayed on the plant and ground
will cause those bugs which are con-
cealed to come forth and try to escape
from the odor. Some of those on the
plant will come to the upper surface
of the leaves, while the others will run
over the ground. These can be easily
picked, and to make sure Of the de-
struction of the small nymphs spray
the ground with an 8 per cent kero-
wafer mixture
The ground need not be saturated
so as to affect the plant but a light
spray of that strength will do the
work effectively. When kerowater
spray pump is at hand, all that is nee
essary is to shift the gauge and no
new mixture need be prepared.
The best time to apply this spray is
late in the afternoon when the sun is
low: it will be less serious to the plant
than it would be during the hotter por-
ton OF the day The kerowater will
not evaporate SO readiIy, and the eff
fects viii therefore be better AS the
stragglers come during the hottest por-
ton of the day. such a spray win in

THE SLAYER is THE WINNER

II You Are a Beginner I'm Poultry,
Don't Be Too Easily Discouraged.
People who are easily discouraged
are seldom successful. no matter what
they undertake. Sometimes of course
we meet with exceptions, or perhaps
seeming exceptions, where appear
ances seem to indicate that the right
man did the right thing at the right
time and success followed with APP
parently little effort. But mighty big
majority of successful people gained
their point of vantage by hard knocks
and continued effort.
Success in breeding standard bred
poultry comes In the same way. This
is evidenced by the wrecks strewn
along the way and by an analysis of
the records and efforts of those who
are pronounced successes. The breed
ers who are prominent In the poultry
world today did not gain their promi-
nence In single season. Some of
them started with q very ordinary
grade of stock and spent several sea-
sons in getting their hocks to high
standard of excellence and then spent
more time In getting show record
and In getting their names and their
stock before the public through adver-
Using. Others, who have used rare
judgment and started with the best,
who have intelligently studied the
principles of breeding and given much
thought to the work. have reached a
position near the top In comparative
" short time. They have produced
good birds, have won with them at the
shows and through liberal but judi
cious advertising have gained success
both In reputation and financially. We
want to impress upon amateur breed
ers the fact that they should not ex-
pect to accomplish these things the
first season, and indeed for several
seasons, unless due attention is given
to the elements which influence these
results. No doubt there are thousands
of our subscribers who are now begin
ming to see the results of their first
seasons work, and we urge them to
not get discouraged IL the roundup OF
the young stock does not show large
number of extra choice birds. 1t Is a
sure thing that you will not have as
many as you expect.
The thing to do is to get together the
best you have and lay solid founda-
ton for the future. Try to learn just
how you produced your best birds and
store this knowledge away In your
