Anecdote of President Lincoln.

The following story is told Of President
Lincoln: One afternoon as he was walk
ing through Lafayette square, Washing
ton, he noticed ? young man who was
using sulphurous language in manner
calculated TO alarm the natives. Mr.
Lincoln stopped the young man and ask
ed what the tronble was. Not knowing
Mr.. Lincoln, the young fellow said that
a blankety-blank clerk in the Treasury
Department had had him trotting there
for months to collect a small note and he
couldn't get a blankety-blank cent out of
him
'1,lat is pretty bad, said Mr.. Lin
coin. but I'll tell You what / will do If
you will pr mise me to give up using pro-
fame words, | will guarantee TO collect
the note for you"
After a little further talk the PROPOSE
ton was agreed to. The young man pro
duced the note and handed it TO Mr..
Line In. who wrote on the back, a. Lin
coin" When it was given back to the
collector and his eyes fell on the name
he unconsciously mumbled, swell III be
id" then quickly apologized to the
President, who shook his hand, cautioned
him to remember the compact, and then
resumed his afternoon stroll.
1t is needless to say that the note was
promptly liquidated when next presented.

Severe Storm and Zero Weather De-
seconded Upon the Country.
Cold weather settled over the States Of
the central West Sunday and the open
winter froze shut. Through the North
ern States high winds and heavy snow
preceded the cold wave, in many parts
of the district amounting to a blizzard.
Through Kansas, Oklahoma. Indian Ter
ritory and Missouri the cold was unac-
companied by snow and much suffering
resulted.
The range cattle in Nebraska. western
Kansas and Oklahoma suffered severely
and many are dying The long period
of extraordinarily mild weather took
them far from shelter and measures for
their protection were to some extent neg
lected. The winter wheat in this section
was damaged, as there was insufficient
snow covering.
Ih severe cold which had been dwell
ing for days in the Dakotas, Montana
and Northwestern States, swooped down
upon Chicago Sunday In eighteen hours,
from 6 in the morning to midnight, the
mercury took a tumble Of approximately
35 degrees. making a temperature below
the zero mark. From that time on TO
early Monday morning it fell more stead
lily. With the severe cold came a high
wind from the Northwest.
REPORTS from Kansas, Missouri Ne
braska, Oklahoma, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin tell of almost deplorable conditions.
The weather for several days has been
the severest known to many parts this
winter Cattle on the western ranges
are suffering and the losses to their own

cheer was taken up by the crush OF hui

A storm OF cheers took him off his feet.
and for few seconds he was all at sea.
But he quickly regained his composure
when his eyes fell on the naval guard of
honor composed of veterans Of the Civil
War, some of whom fought with Schley.
The old salts saluted gravely and the
admiral responded in kind but there was
that indehnable something about his face
that showed that while he appreciated
the heartiness in general of the greeting,
the sight of these gray-haired men, lined
up 70 do him honor, was more to him
than I'll the cheering.
