Lincoln at Play.

It is natural to find that Lincoln, the

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune tells
it, gives a hearty account Of the man
who even as president was ready to
unbend to trivial amusements.
When Lincoln was practicing law
in Springfield, he lived few doors
from Rooney, who used to wrestle with
him. Whenever Lincoln saw a chance
for game of ball, he rushed out of his
Office, with his tall silk hat and long
tailed coat. and Joined the sport.
During the wrestling match that Of

favorite sport-Lincoln's hat. coat, era

players. In reaching for balls Lincoln's
long arms did good service. He played
the game as he played all games-wtth

Not since 1894 have so few children
been born in Boston. In 1901 the birth
rate was only 27.10. During the year
there was an actual gain Ia popuIato

tive whites of native parentage is now
only 3G per cent of the whole popula-
ton. and many of these are but two re-

The foreign born element constitutes
about one-third of the population, but
contributed about two-thirds of the

LII births. among the Russians 1887
and among the Irish 1851. -
The highest birth rates in the city are
found in those wards where live the

Modern Carthage.

For the first time in many centuries
something modern has appeared on the
site of the ancient city Of Carthage.
Here, where once fiourished the arts of
war and peace, is vast, lonely plain.
OF the streets through which the con-
quering Hannibal marched in triumph
nothing now remains but the shadeless
wheatfelds. Popular Mechanics de-
scribes the stalking camel plodding
along, drawing the modern American
pillow or cultivator.
The soil is as rich as it was on the
day when the Phenicians founded the
city, and the American and his indus
tries have found their way to the his
toric spot where the Romans wrought
such devastation in their conquests.
Americans, in charge Of native work
men, may be seen directing the use of
the modern farming implements in
harvesting Or tilling the soil. These
machines are a source of wonder to the
natives. who for generations employed
only the crudest of farm implements.
The place is on the northern coast of
Africa, about ten miles from the pres
ent city Of Tunis. Americans find the
market there for their inventions a
lucrative one

WARWHOop AND UMBRELLA
Combination That Saved a Mis-
sionary From 6 Tiger.


sionary From Tiger.
DIR. Chamberlain, in his entertaining
story of THE Cobra's Den,' tells of an
experience in India which the reader
will scarcely envy. He says:
1t was just one hour before shutdown
of cloudy. driZzly afternoon. l had
nv double umbrella, black inside and
white outside for Tending off both sun
and rain, but had closed it over my
hand. without clasping it, to go through
narrow opening in the bushes. l had
crossed little open grass plot Of few
rods and was just entering narrow
footpath through the mountain jungle
that would take me down to the east
foot of the mountain, where l was to
meet my pony.
Suddenly a spotted tiger sprang into
the path between the bushes and dis
puted the passage. | saw at once what
he wanted-only great hunger impels
these tigers to come out during the day
he had eaten nc breakfast and want
ed missionary meat for supper. l did
not wish him to have it. Besides, | had
an appointment for that evening with
the people of three villages and wished
to keep it, He stood in the only path
through that dense mountain jungle,
glaring at me. 1 eyed him equally in
tently, and, gaining his eye, held it
while I formed my plan.
It is always best, if a scrimmage is
to take place, to be the attacking party.
Ny old grandmother used to teach me
that everything would come in use
within seven years if you only kept it.
When | was a boy, I had gone out
among an Indian tribe in Michigan and
learned their warwhoop. l had kept it
for thrice seven years, but it proved
trebly serviceable then. When my
plan of attack was formed, springing
toward the tiger, | raised this war
whoop and at the same time suddenly
opened my double umbrella.
What it was that could so suddenly
change a perpendicular dark figure in
to a circular white object and at the
same time emit such an unearthly yell
the tiger did not know. He stood his
ground, however, until l dashed for
ward and, suddenly shutting my UNI
breIla, raised it to strike him over the
head. 1t seemed instantly to occur to
him that l was the more dangerous an
imal of the two and that one of us had
better run. AS l did not, he did. Spring
ing aside. over a bush, into the open
ground, he made for the crest of the
hill which l had just passed.
