That the American people love and
revere the memory of Abraham Lincoln,
becomes more apparent each day. The
tributes paid at recent gathering Of
ExC Confederates held in one of our great
cities, embracing among the large num-
ber in attendance such leaders as Henry

tutions well enough to fight under the

The Words of Lincoln" are quoted
from the book bearing that title. noticed
elsewhere in the Chronicle and which is
published by o. H. Oldroyd of Wash
ington, who to-day is better fitted per-
haps to write and talk on Lincoln than
any person living. The book is mailed
at the low price of a dollar, and as the
profits arising from its sale are used in
adding to the already extensive collec-
tion of Lincoln mementoes to be seen in
the house where the president died,
we take pleasure in calling attention to
it, AS one reads the sayings of the de-
parted leader better insight is afforded
of the truly great hearted Abraham

In the hundred years of boxing there
is no record of a champion being kill

of a beating received with bare
knuckles or the gloves, lbut in all the
cases they were men not in physical
