with the turn-oVer-a-neW-leaf idea Of
New Years or not is a serious ques-
tion. Perhaps many of them recall the
dayssof their youth and remember how
the first few weeks of January were
given up to prayer, fasting, penitence
and revivals on the part of the
churches. At any rate, curiously
enough, the opening days of every year
record more theological or serious
books than any other season. This year
we are having new Life of Christ"
Through Science to Faith" What is
Shakespeare. "a Critical Study Of the
Origin, Purport and Historical Inter-
pretation of the Apostles Creed" "The
Place of Death in Evolution" and
many other volumes of this class. Is
the fact of such publications due to the
impulses Of the publishers or is It only
a shrewd forecast of the public's New
Years outlook on life?
The experience of Richard Harding
Davis a few days ago at the hands of

author as the husband of the woman

story Of a vain author who was ac-
customed to take luncheon at a GER
tain table at a certain hotel in New
York. One day when the head waiter
was not on guard for the moment
into the hotel and chanced to take
the particularly reserved table. They
were nearly through when in came
the author accompanied by two
friends. Three tall figures bore down
on the innocent Chicago men and one
began:
Pardon me. gentlemen, but this
table is always reserved for me. VIII
you be good enough to remove to an
other?"
one of the three seated arose and
replied that since they were in
public hotel and had taken the table,
they could not leave until they were
quite through.

thor, you perhaps do not know who
we are. Allow me. This" with a

MORE FROM GOVERNOR TAFT
There is no Filipino Commanding
Officer not Guilty of Murder.
THE PEOPLE DESIRE PEACE.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Governor Taft,
of the Philippines in further interviews
with the Senate Philippine Committee,
said of the Fllipinos:
"They have worn out the right. to
any treatment but that which is severe
and within the laws of war"
Governor Taft also said that the great
majority of the people of the island de-
sire peace and that the insurrectionists
were by their acts preventing the mass
of the people from settling down and
earning quiet living. Instead of be-
ing allowed to do this they were kept
under a system of terrorism by the in
surgents, which should be stopped.
1.-The condition of activity continued
until the last presidential election in
the United States. The insurgents be-
Eeved that if Mr.. Bryan should be elect
ed there would be a change of policy
and the islands surrendered, placing
those who were in instruction in charge
but when Mr.. Mckinley was elected
there was feeling that there would be
an indefinite retention of the archipel-
ago and that the system then in force
would be continued"
Discussing the effect of the guerilla
warfare Governor Taft said:
81 venture to say that there is not a
Filipino general or commanding officer
who could not be convicted of response
bility for the killing of their own PEG
pie"
This led him to speak of the traits of
the Filipinos, one of which he said is
cruelty. He had been told by American
officers of many instances of mutilation
of the corpses of our soldiers. This be-
ing true, it is not surprising that there
had been some retaliation on the part
of small bands of American soldiers.
He had heard of no charge of mutilation
but there probably were some cases of
unnecessary killing.
In this connection he called attention
to the orders of General Macarthur as
to these practices which were, he said,
very strict. If these attractions of pro-
priety had occurred he was sure they had
been in the face of direct orders to the
contrary.
Governor Taft said that notwith-
standing he was not in an attitude of
favor to military rule, it was still his
deliberate judgment that ''never had
a war been conducted in which more
compassion, more restraint and more
generosity had been exhibited than in
connection with the war in the Philip
pines

MORE LINCOLN STORIES.
Tales That Reveal the True Nature o
the Great President.

Tales That Reveal the True Nature OF
the Great President
Many of the anecdotes in recently
published book about Abraham Lin
coin have to do with Mr.. Lincoln's re-
markable facility of telling story to
illustrate point. At one time friend
complained to the President that a
certain Cabinet officer was admins
tering his Office with unusual energy
with the hope of securing the Presi-
Dental nomination.
"That reminds me-" said Mr.. Lin
coin, that my brother and l were
once blowing field with lazy horse,
but at times he rushed across the field
so fast that 1 could hardly keep up
with him. At last 1 found an enor-
nous chin fly on him, and knocked it
off. Now 1 am not going to make that
mistake a second time. If the secre-
tary has a chin fly on him 1 am not
going to knock it off, if it will only
make his department co.
When it was complained that in TAX
ing possession of Ship island Gen.
Phelps had issued bombastic procla-
nation freeing the slaves, Mr.. Lincoln
said:
81 feel about that a good deal as
man 1 once knew felt about his wife.
He was a meek man, and had the gen.
eral reputation of being henpecked.
One day, when his wife was switching
him out of the house, a friend came to
him and demonstrated with him con-
corning his lack of dignity and spirit.
Now, don'ti' said the man. 1T
didn't hurt me any, and you don't
know what a power of good it did

What to do with Jefferson Davis,
should he be captured, was problem
that was puzzling the government. In
speaking of it to Gen. Grant one day,
the President remarked:
There was once an Irishman who
had signed the Father Mathew tenn
perance pledge. Going into a saloon
to get a glass of lemonade to quench
his thirst, he leaned over and whis-
pered to the barkeeper:
"'And couldn't you put little bran
dy in it unbeknownst to mesilf?
$50" continued Mr.. Lincoln. 'let
Davis escape all unbeknownst to your
self if you can."-Youth's Compan-
| ion.

STATESMAN

inattention in his audience, who had
taken that particular moment to en-
gage in what Mr.. James A. Herndon
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:
Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens, 1
presume you all know who am. am
humble Abraham Lincoln. I have
been solicited by many friends to be-
come a candidate for the legislature
My politics are short and sweet, like
the old woman's dance. l am in favor
of national bank. 1 am in favor of
the internal-improvement system and
a 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"

amendment to the pension appropria-

served in the Confederate army, but
subsequently had served in the Union
army, should have pensionable status.
A point of order against the amend
ment by Mr.. Gallinger was sustained.
Mr.. Pritchard, evincing his dissap-

notice that he would see that not many

something is done in the direction of

Great Bend, Kans., Feb. !6.-Reports
come from Hoisington, on the middle
division of the Missouri Pacific, that
Gus White, fireman on train No. 5,
west bound, was severely frozen about
his body and his recovery is doubtful.
Between Geneseo and Hoisington the
train was delayed several hours to
buck snow. When the train arrived at
Hoisington, White complained of his
arms and limbs being stiff. He became
unconscious and remained so all day.

camp, weary, hungry and helpless.
He professed to be a friend of the
whites; and, although it was an
exceedingly perilous experiment for
one of his color, he ventured to throw
himself upon the mercy of the soldiers.
But the men first murmured, and then
broke out into fierce cries for his
blood. I've have come out to fight the
Indians" said they, land by God we
intend to do it," The poor Indian,
now, in the extremity of his distress
and peril, did what he ought to have
done before; he threw down before
his assailants a soiled and crumpled
paper, which he implored them to read
before his life was taken. 1t was a
letter of character and safe-conduct
from Gen. Cass, pronouncing him a
faithful man, who had done good SER
vice in the cause for which this army
was enlisted. But it was too late; the
men refused to read it. or thought it
forgery, and were rushing with fury
upon the defenceless old savage, when
Capt. Lincoln bounded between them
and their appointed victim. Men,"
said he, and his voice for a moment
stilled the agitation around him, this
must not be done; he must not be
shot and killed by u.s." But" said
some of them, 1.-The Indian is damned
spy" Lincoln knew that his own
life was now in only less danger than
that Of the poor creature that crouch
ed behind him. During the whole of
this scene Captain Lincoln seemed to
rise to an unusual height" of stature
The towering form, the passion and
resolution in his face, the physical
power and terrible will exhibited in
every motion of his body, every ges-
ture of his arm, produced an effect
upon the furious mob as unexpected
perhaps to him as to auy one else.
They paused, listened, fell back, and
then sullenly obeyed what seemed to
be the voice of reason, as well as au-
thority. But there were still some
murmurs of disappointed rage, and
half-suppressed explanations. which
looked toward vengeance of some
kind. At length one of the men,
little holder than the rest, but evident
1y feeling that he spoke for the whole,
cried out, This is cowardly on your
part, Lincolni" Whereupon the tall
captains figure stretched few inches
higher again. He looked down upon
these varlets who would have muir
dered a defenceless old Indian, and
now quailed 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 1 am a coward, let
him test it." said he. Lincoln" re-
sponded a 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 were both at stake, and
would probably have been lost, had he
