of the North, but those Of the South
now recognize him as a foremost fig
ure in preserving our heritage of free
dom, and today the most tremendously
united, yet most cosmopolitan nation
on earth joins in celebrating the ninety
third anniversary of the birth Of
Abraham Lincoln.
1t would take many columns of I h
G | o b to review his life, but some
of the more important events and in
cidents in his career, in chronological
order, will prove Of abiding interest.
Feb. IL, 1909
Born near Hoddensville, Larue coun-
ty Chen Hardin county,, Ky. the son
of Thomas and Nancy (HankS) Lin
coin. His father was Of English an
cestry and Of the class known as poor
whites" in slave state. In speaking
of his parentage Mr.. Lincoln once said:
my parents were both born in Vir-
ginia, of undistinguished families
second families, perhaps might say.
In his eighth year his parents re-
moved to farm on Little Pigeon creek.
sixteen miles from the town of Gentry
vile, Ind, where he soon lost his only
sister by death.
Death of his mother, whom he de-
ScribeS as of medium stature, dark
with soft and rather mirthful eyes, OF
great force Of character, and passion
ately fond of reading"
1920
Sarah Bush, of Kentucky, became
his stepmother, of whom he always
spoke in grateful remembrance, for her
uniform kindness and aid in his reading
and studies. His youthful life was
one of hard work as a, farm hand. often
being hired out to the neighbors.
1890
Removed to Illinois and helped his
father build a log house in Macon
county, on the north fork of the San
canon river, ten miles west of Decatur,
and also split rails for fences, a fact
prominently brought forward many
years later. Young Lincoln was now
six feet four inches high and muscular
as a giant, Thomas Lincoln, how
ever, was not contented here, and soon
after removed to Goose Neck Prairie,
in Coles county, where he died in 1851,
the improvident father being cared for
by his provident son.
Goes on Trading Trip.
1851
He, with two relatives, built a fiat
boat for Denton Offutt and took it
through to New Orleans on trading
trip. The boat stuck" on Saginaw
river mill dam and was released
which led several years later to Lin
coins taking out a patent for an i'm
proved method for lifting vessels over
shoals" A visit to the slave market in
New Orleans on this trip took deep
hold of him and resulted in his convic-
lions on the slavery question.
1851
Settled at New Salem, ILL.,, after his
return from New Orleans, where he
was successfully a clerk, grocer, sur
veyor and postmaster. Meanwhile he
studied law, interested himself in poll
tics and made his first stump
speeches"

Hawk war and an unsuccessful candi-
date for the legislature.

Inc schubert club and it's invited
guests, the members of the Thursday
club, enjoyed a delightful afternoon of
song yesterday at the Odeon. Mrs. c.
arthur Whyland, of Chicago, presented
the programme, and she was the guest
Of honor at thertea which followed in
the clubs studio.
Mrs. Whyland has an exceedingly
attractive VOICE and a thorough cult
Vatlon has made her complete mistress
OF It, The range is not remarkable
Tor It's width and in her choice of songs
yesterday Mrs. Whyland showed that
she understands perfectly it's limita-
tions. In all the registers the tones are
pure and clear and full, and the en-
TIRE range Is remarkably smooth. In
the Two ar1as she sang yesterday, the
SHADOW Song" from Meyerbeer'S
D1nora, and the selection from Mo-
zarts IL re Pastore," the singer did
brilliant work in the bravura passages.
especially was the Shadow Song en-
JoyaDle because of the exquisite tone
Shadings.
Mrs. Whylands first numbers were
a group of songs by some of the early
ltai!an composers. The gypsy song,
ATletta, by Paisello, was dramati-
cally sung, but the three more SOM
per per- numbers dl1 ~Pur Dicesti," by Lotti;
The Glorni Son Che Nina" by Pergo-
lese, and "Spiagge Amate," by Gluck,
expressed too little intimacy of feeling
An artlst1c number on the programme
yesterday was Saint Saen's Might"
MRS. Whyland sang the soprano solo,
ana the quartette composed Of Mrs.
lnez Won Encke, Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. d. F.
CoIvllIe and Mrs. O'Meara presented
the body of the song. w. W. Nelson
prayed flute obligato for this number,
the clear, sweet notes of the instru-
ment, Which was capably handled, fit
ting in most tremendously with the
exquisite sentiment of the song Mr..
Nelson also played violin obligato for
the aria from III Re Pastore" The
nnal group of songs sung by Mrs.
Whyland included FSerenade," Bron-
son; "A Pastoral" and MARY of Allen

by Won der Stucken.
Miss Marian NJ. Lindsey, recently, Of
st. Paul, but now of Chicago, played
Mrs. Whyland'si accompaniment yes
terday. Under her fingers an adequate
background was woven for the singers
voice, background that never OBJ
truded itself unduly and which was
always in complete harmony with the
singer and the song. Mrs. Rose Ma
bersberg Olds played Greig's "Ballade"
Top. "a, delightfully."- interpreting this
characteristic composition of the Nor

FEED CALVES COD LIVER OIL.
Young Animals Said TO Make Great
Gains ON This Ktnd OF
Nourishment.

An attempt is being made to sub
stitute cod-liver oil for the natural
fat of milk in feeding calves, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record. Milk
contains, as is generally known, all
the nutrients necessary for the full
development of young animal life. If
one of these elements is removed it has
to be replaced with a substitute of like
kind in order to insure thrifty devel-
opnent. Butter fat and cream, of
course, are the most highly priced and
valuable of dairy products and some
resourceful individual suggested that
these might be extracted by pressing
the whole milk through a separator
and their loss be made up to the calf
by adding an equivalent amount of
cod-liver oil, another fat nutrient.
Experiments have accordingly been
in progress for some time at one of the
agricultural colleges in Yorkshire and
recent reports seem to indicate that
they are entirely successful. There
is but little labor involved. The cod
liver oil and skim milk is cheaper
feed than the whole milk and the
calves appear to thrive on it. During
a feeding experiment embracing some
% weeks it was found that the average
daily gain of the calves fed on whole
milk until they were weaned was two
pounds; those fed on skim milk and
oil and continued on an oil ration,
"a pounds, while those which had been
fed oil and milk, but from which the
oil was subsequently withheld, only 81
pounds.
On Strengthening the animals no in
furious effects on the flesh could be
discovered. The daily ration that APP
peared to be successful was made up
of five quarts of skim milk and two
ounces of cod-liver oil. Fortunately
the calves do not develop that aver
sion to cod-liver oil which 10 natural
to most human beings, but, on the con-
trary, readily become accustomed
to it.

WOMAN PRISON CHAPLAIN.
Ministers Regularly TO the Harden ed
Chanaose rs ConMn ed tn Lar
annie (Wyo1 JAix.

The only woman in the world en-
gagged as chaplain in prison is Mrs,
May Preston Slosson, of Wyoming
and she performs her duties with a
zeal that is worthy of all praise. She
is q regularly ordained minister of
the Gospel and might be settled over
a prosperous church, but she sees her
duty lies among the convicts at Lara
ME and has chosen that as her field
of effort, reports the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Mrs. Slosson received the first de-
gree granted to woman at Cornell
university, where she worked for two
years after she had received the mas
ter's degree at Hillsdale college, Mich
igan.
After graduating she accepted the
professorship of Greek at Hastings
college, Nebraska, and was married in
1891 to Prof. Edwin E. Slosson, pro-
fessor of chemistry at the University
of Wyoming in Laramie.
In Wyoming the prisoners Of the
state penitentiary were at one time
kept without work on account OF the
opposition of the trades unions to
their employment. Men deprived of
the saving grace of work, no matter
to what part of the community they
belong, soon become thrown out Of
their balance. That happened to the
prisoners, who got into a peculiarly
morbid and unruly condition.
1t was in that frame of mind that
Mrs. Slosson conceived the idea which
the authorities permitted her to put
into practice. She arranged for a
series of Sunday afternoon talks and
experimental lectures by the profess
sors of the university.
She herself gave two lectures before
the convicts, and when the minister
who was acting as the chaplain left
the town the prisoners petitioned the
governor to appoint her chaplain. He
acceded to the request, and since July,
1899, she has filled the office not only
to the satisfaction Of the authorities,
but, what is more important, to the
satisfaction of.those who are the en-
forced members of her congregation.
The prisoners number some 220 and
consist for the most part of young
men who have gone west from a spirit
of adventure and have got into trou-
