Lincoln at Play,

It is natural to find that Lincoln, the
most American of all Americans. should
have played the most national of all
our games. baseball. An old neighbor
of Lincoln's. who is now a switchman
in an Indiana town, remembers how
Lincoln played 1.-The great game" His
name is Rooney, and his story as 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 a 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
ten misunderstanding was Lincoln's
favorite sport-Lincoln's hat. coat, era
vat and braces hung on the fence.
His tall hat was target for the ball,
and many silk tile was ruined by the
players. In reaching for balls Lincoln's
long arms did good service. He played
the game as he played all games-with
all his might.

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 iourished 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
wheatfields. 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 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

Boston's Low Birth Rate.

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 in population
of only 4,275. The proportion of ma
tive whites of native parentage is now
only 36 per cent of the whole popula-
ton, and many of these are but two re-
moves from an immigrant ancestry. 1t
is very evident that the old american
stock is dying out and that it will in
evitably be replaced by the newcomers
of the end Of the nineteenth century
and the beginning Of the twentieth.
The foreign born element constitutes
about one-thfrd of the population, but
contributed about two-thirds of the
births. Among the Italians there were
1,411 births, among the Russians 1887
and among the Irish 1851.
The highest birth rates n the city are
found in those wards where live the
poor and the foreigners. The lowest
birth rates are found in the Back Bay
and in the south end. in the aiddle of
Roxbury, in West Roxbury AMI in
Jamaica Plain. Three of these wards
actually show an excess OF deaths over
births. Medical News.

Ia the Burdick home were met by a

further than to say that Mrs. Hull was

GOLD GONE.
A Bar Valued at Many Thousand Dollars


Is Reported Missing.
Detroit, Mich, March 20.-A bar o.
gold, said to be valued at $4,000 to
$4,000, disappeared from the express
car of Wabash train No. 4, which ar
rived from the west at o'clock Wed"
resday night and left for Buffalo g
midnight. The property was in charge
of the Pacific Express company, and
consigned to Buffalo. AS soon as the
messenger missed the gold, he notified
the local express agent of the cOmpa-
ny, who in turn asked the police to as
sist in the search for the missing
treasure. Every available detective on
the staff of Chief of Detectives Nc
Daniel was assigned the case and
private detectives wer also retained to
assist. Local officials say there is
bare possibility that the bar has been
misplaced and will turn up in Buffa-
10. 'We are impatiently waiting for
news from Buffalo," said the manager
of the local branch Of the Pacific Elk
press company.

at the Mercy hospital here amputated
the complete right upper extremity of
aehild two years old. The amputation
included, besides the arms, the collar
bone and shoulder blade. 1t took al
most an hour and a half. A malignant
growth of the shoulder, injecting the
whole upper extremity and which soon
would have infected the whole body
and caused death, made the operation
necessary. Only once before has the
operation been attempted on child
two years old. and the patient died..
The child stood the operation well and
