ONE OF LINcoLN'S BEST.
Humorous AnecdOte That Was a Fa
vOrtte with the War
President.

The world is indebted for the pres
ervation of this anecdote to the late
Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, who re-
lated it in Washington not long before
his death, says the Philadelphia Led
ger. AS Voorhees, told it, Lincoln had
in court case in which he felt no great
confidence, and, agreeably to a time
honored rule among lawyers (''if you
have a poor case abuse the opposing
counserO, touched lightly on it's
merits, but paid his respects to his OPP
ponent, who happened to be a young
lawyer, not without ability, but very
glib, very bnmptious, and little too
previous" generally to make favor
able impression on the jury. The
situation indicated" (as the doctors
say) the professional rule too strongly
for Lincoln to resist its application.
But he tempered the wind before
shearing the lamb. After compliment
ing the young man on his remarkable
flow of language, as exhibited in the
speech which he had just delivered to
the jury dad paying a warm tribute to
his good qualities and those of both
his parents, Lincoln said:
"But my young friends gift of
words has one serious drawback,
which you. gentlemen, have wit
messed in this case. ainterrupts
the action of his mind. His thinking
machine and talking apparatus don't
seem to jibe. When his tongue works,
his brain quits. He reminds me of a
little steamboat that used to run on
the Sangamon river. 1t had a three
foot boiler and five-foot whistle, and
every time it whistled it had to stop.''

THURSDAY, JUNE II, 1908.

Every business man and every resi-
dent, who has any interest in the ad-
vanoement of Perth Amboy, will do
all in their power to second the efforts
Of the Chamber of Commerce to get
better transportation between this
city and surrounding towns. There
seems to be no reason why the people
living on Staten Island. between here
and New Dorp should be compelled to
buy a ticket each way. When the
Chamber of Commerce committee
visits the superintendent of the Rapid
Transit, they may learn reason but
unless there are very strong objections
to the request the local men should
insist upon their demands.
A great many people come to this
city from Staten Island to do their
shopping as it is, but this number can
be greatly increased. That the Staten
Island people are in close touch with
this city and interested in what takes
place here, is evident from the num-
Der of Evening News sold over there
every afternoon and the demand is in
oreasing. Anything to draw the
towns of the southern end of the
Island closer to Pertl Amboy is well
comed bcth-kere and there.
Tha<Idea to have the traction COM
any sell six tickets for twenty five
5nts IS also a moveI in the right
direction. If the traction company
leading into New Brunswick can do
this, there seems to be no reason why
the trolley here cannot do the same
thing. Doubtless this rule of the M.
q 8. Traction Company has been q
great factor in making, the county seat
the great shopping centre that it is.
With the new bridge completed and
favorable transportation, Perth Am
boy, for shopping, will soon lead in
this section of the State. Next COM
plete the trolley to Carteret so as to
bring the 1900 or 5000 population
there to this city for business, and we
viii have about what we want This
Is all within the bounds of possibility.

tion of so risky and dangerous char
acter.-New York World.
In the following handbill, left at the
doors of fair correspondent in Mis-
souri,, we seem to trace the culminat-
ing cause of the above scare, says Lon
don Punch:
The Missouri PeerImporting com

Absolutely no risk run by our Gus

Ladies dealing with us are assured
of fair treatment and prompt deliv-
cry.
Without fear Of contradiction we
affirm that our peers are superior in
rank and pedigree and in position in
their own countries to any noblemen
now on the market.
Every lord supplied to our customers
is branded with the state stamp, and
no goods that are not upto the govern
ment standard are retailed at our
stores.
Our stock of British dukes is the
finest in the world, and at the Missouri
exposition we were awarded the gold
medal for this rare and beautiful type
of goods.
A choice collection of belted earls is
always on view in our showrooms.
We highly recommend our ''B. B. b.,
or British baron brand. These may
be had in three styles-English, Irish
or Scotch. We do large business in
these goods with people who like good
article, but cannot afford the more
costly barnds AS. however, the supply
is limited, customers are advised to
purchase early.
We have a very cheap line in French
counts, which we are offering at prices
to suit the smallest purses. Such of
these goods as we sell bearth govern
ment imprint, though personally we
do not care to recommend them, hav-
ing had frequent complaint regarding
their quality.
We beg leave to observe that the
lowest priced peers-such, for in
stance, as Polish counts-we do not
stock, as in very few cases have they
been found satisfactory. We venture
to urge upon our clients the advisable
ity of paying somewhat higher price
and insuring quality.
