The birthday anniversary OF Abraham
Lincoln furnishes occasion to Il. L. Lewis,
writing in the ST. Louis Globe Democrat,
TO discuss the Lincoln family in their
early home in Lincoln City, Ind. The
picture he draws is far from pleasing IN
many particulars.
"There are many histories of Lincoln"
ne writes, many stories of his boyhood
and tales of his privation in early life,
but still, after reading all of them, when
one enters this little village and stands
surrounded by the landmarks of his early
days, another and more interesting story
than any that has been published comes
70 q visitor. Lincoln City is lost away
among the hills of Spencer County-inac-
cessible almost to the traveller. 1t did not
boast Of a name until after the poor boy
who spent his boyhood-from Z to q
years-here had become President of the
nation and took his place in the brightest
pages of the worlds history. Then peo-
pie down t the county seat began to
refer to the settlement as Lincoln City,
and now it has a recognition on most
maps of Indiana. Here, on KNOLL lies
buried Nancy Hanks, Lincoln's mother.
Over there in a forgotten grave lies Sally
Bush, his step-mother and guiding angel,
and all around are the landmarks of in
terest, each referring to a story of his
boyhood days.

To Make Employees Save Money.

The first annual profit sharing of the
Appleton wooden mills was paid to the
employees the other day and amounted to
about 5 per cent of the wages earned
during the past year. In connection with
this unique inducement to promote
economy and frugality was extended ev-
cry employee. This innovation consisted
of the presentation by the company to
every employee, of a bank book showing
the amount deposited to their credit III
the First National Bank, together with
pledge from the company, agreeing that
the one showing the largest additional
deposit, proportionate to wages received
during the ensuing year, will, at the eX-
piration of such time, receive a cash

Berlin, Oct. 1.-The Boer generals re-
quest for an audience of Emperor Will
liam remains in allegiance until Germany
learns the British governments views on
the subject. Foreign Secretary Won
Richthoffen has informed Ambassador
LascelIes of the Beers application, with
an annexation that if the British gov

presents them, his majesty will receive
them as he would other notable British

some way might be found to grant tie
Beers an audience and yet keep within

form in which the question was brought
to Ambassador Lascelles' attention that
Emperor William desires to receive the
generals. Nothing would have been
made of his majesty receiving the gen
erals in audience a few days ago, but
since their appeal for funds, partly for
Dutch schools, and as their visit to
Berlin is wholly in the interest of that

ton of the generals would have been
construed as support of the appeal.

CALLS 1T RISKY.
The London Standards View of Nor
CAMS Bargain.

London, Oct. 1.-The Standard says:
1.-THE Cunard agreement will go far to
render Mr.. Morgan's bargain a more
risky speculation. We can almost feel
grateful to the promoters of this inaa-
ted trust since we owe it to their en-
terprise that the strength of our navy
will be substantially augmented
Like some other recent events this
action of the government is an admoni-
tion to enterprising American financiers
that transa tlantic trusts do not find
their peculiar methods quite so easily
applied in this country"
Approval is similarly expressed of the
agreement with Mr.. Morgan but with
the reservation that further details are
required before an accurate Judgment
can be formed. The Daily Chronicle for
instance. wants to know what is the
bond and obligation on Mr. Morgan S
part 20 carry out these fair promises.
and what does he receive in return
Apart from this the Chronicle approves
of the vast increase in the Cunard COM
pany's subvention as showing that pat
riotisTn IS valued.
The Morning Post says it trusts that
agreements similar to that entered into
with the Cunard company will be made
with other companies.
The Daily News does not like the idea
of Britannia being reduced to making
with an American plutOcrat but says it
was the only safe course to pursue as
Mr.. Morgan is no more to be Aouted
than the Atlantic itself.
In an editorial article the Times says
1t considers the agreements announced
by Mr.. Balfour at Sheffield to be ra-
tional and wise. Doubtless they will be
criticised saws the paper but most
people will judge them with a practical
view point. With regard to the Morgan
combine it is important to remember
that it is a powerful guarantee for food
supplies in time of war"

BAD FOOTBALL OUTLOOK
Things Are Dark for WaShburn
This Year.

Under the combined influence of in
jured men, fractional fights, algebra and
presidents agreements, it begins to look
doubtful whether the WaShburn football
team will get through the season at all
If Coach Gill can pull a winning team
out of the impending wreck, ne will de-
serve an unlimited amount of credit.
The faculty has ruled out Fullback
Cook from participating in any games
with colleges playing under the presi-
dents agreement. on the ground that
he played on the Ottawa team last year.
Cook has attended Washburn ever since
last Christmas, but under the agree
ment he can't participate in athletics
until the end of his first year in school
Haynes, one of the biggest men in the
line, is likely to come under the BAR
Of the faculty for failing to maintain
the required degree of scholarship in his
algebra. It is said that several other of
the strongest men are in danger Of be-
ing ruled out on the same ground
Dye, one of the big linemen, is out of
the game with sprained ankle, and
it is doubtful when he will be able TO
play. Worseley, the best quarterback in
school, is sick with fever, and will not
likely be able to play at all this year.
To add to the grief of the Washburn
team, the bitter fractional fight of last
year continues more or less, and is said
to be keeping some good men off the
field who ought to help out with the
first team or at least join the scrubs
for the practice scrimma ges.
In spite of all these discoura gements.
Coach Gill has his team out for hard
practice every day, and is trying on
some radical changes in the line up in
an effort to correct the weakness man
ifested in the Haskell game.
The most important change is placing
DadiSman at fullbaek in place of Cook,
who is disbarr@d, and giving Steel the
position of center which Dadisman has
held This change is made for the pur-
pose of helping on defensive work, and
on interference. Dadisman will play
back of the line on defense. He is a
heavy man, and is showing considerable
ginger.
Moss, the captain of last springs base
ball team, is berg tried at quarter.
Moss will be valuable to the team as a
drop kicker. He is doing some wonder
full work in that line.
Donahue, who played quarter against
Haskell, will probably play end. Ander-
son, who played end, will probably go
back to his old place at halfback. Gill
the Younger will take Steele'S place in
the line.
Hill and Brown, who are showing up
we'll on the scrub team. may crowd out
some of the men now in the Washburn
line
Coach Gill is doing his best to teach
his men to play q fast game He said
yesterday: ''Washburn will not have a
heavy team this year, and we can only
win our games by fast, snappy work
with every man doing his utmost all
the time"
Washburn's tackling is bad. and a
tacl1ling dummy is being fixed up for
the men to practice on. Strong efforts
ends to charge in faster on defense, and
break up formations before they get
started. This was the great weakness
in the Haskell game.

Didn't Believe 1t Possible That Coffee
