He Couldn't Fool Lincoln.


Abraham Lincoln's kindness of heart
frequently caused him to be Imposed upon,
but in most cases he submitted to impo-
sition with silent knowledge OF the fe ct.
He could be as firm as a rock, however,
when he thought that justice should be
vindicated, and he often handled doubtful
cases with the crafty wariness of a crimi-
nal lawyer. Moreover, he rarely failed to
flame into righteous anger whenever in
suit was offered to his person or his office.
A gambler, who assumed for the occa-
sion the role of minister OF the gospel,
was civilly received by the keen-e eyed
President, when he called upon him; but,
attempting to practice the fraud second
time, he met with reception little to his
liking. "He went into the presidents
ROOM" writes Stoddard, "and he came
out; and, when he came through the door,
there was strange vision of large foot
just behind him, suggesting to navel
contractor the idea of a propeller.
The gamb bier did not, for the twinkling
of an eye, succeed in deceiving Mr.. Lin
coin as to his real character. He was re-
received from the first as a rogue, "A wolf
in sleeps clothing, but his criminal
audacity went beyond the limits OF patient
endurance--and SO he was also sent be-
You'd the limits" The eagle eye and the
keen brain OF the great commoner were
very capable in picking men out OF the

Naturalists have decided that many
insects have senses which human be-
ings lack. That of location, shown by
the wasp, for instance, is remarkable.
One species builds its nest in sand
bank that is only part of several
acres of such soil, and when it leaves
in search of food it covers the nest
so carefully that no ordinary eye could
discover its location--that is to say, it
is just like all the surrounding loca-
ton. and yet the wasp flies back to it
without hesitation and finds it without
making a mistake. There is another
wasp that unerringly locates the eggs
of the mason bee under a thick layer
of sun baked clay and deposits her
own eggs in the same cells that her
young may have food when they are
Matched

company. He spoke in tone of gen

right hearers. But there were the bar

sent.
One day friend gave a little dinner
for him, DR. Jowett and Dean Stanley.
But no sooner had the dinner begun
than the host realized his mistake. He
had provided no setting for his jewels,
no junior men as hearers. "They
wanted to meet one another" he said.

When person is compelled to place

when the contraction of the slightest cold
seated itself on the loins, and when any
attempt to do even the least bit of work

zone suffers until all am bition is lost, that
person naturally endorses the means she
at last employed to bring relief. 1t is to

Gray, postmaster of East Surry, advised
my husband to go to Wiggin q Moore's
drug store for BOX and see what effect
they would have. He was very positive
about the benefit he had received himself,
and his induced me to commence the
treatment. Now II a continuation of it
has not brought undoubted relief l never

A Sure Way of Saving.

An ingenious method of putting his
savings beyond his own reach has been
adopted by a German writer who found
from dire experience that all his prof
its melted away as soon as earned.
Having made f16,000 by fortunate
literary speculation, he placed the
whole of the money, together with his
will, in the Imperial Deposit bank at
Berlin and on receiving the receipt
from the cashier deliberately tore it
up. The cashier thought he was mad
and told him angrily that it would take
fully three years before he could ex-
pect to obtain duplicate receipt. THAT

nal" calmly remarked the depositor,

THANKSGIVING.

TO day is-Ihe season set apart
by the head of our great nation
for a public expression of thanks
for the manifold blessings OF
Providence. 1t is time hal
lowed by tender memories, and
joyful associations. A time when
the harvest is no longer an uncer-
tainty but an assured fact, and
good cheer and brotherly love
should unite at each board where
the day is celebrated.
OF all nations under the sun,
we have most reason TO feel thank
full. While others have felt the
deyastations of foreign wars and
civil strifes, and the paDgs of
famine, We have enjoyed a year of
peace and great financial prosperi
ty. Not only as a nation have we
been blessed, but in our own fel-
tile state, bountiiul crops and the
high price of cotton have combin-
ed to place us upon solid basis
for another year. The farmer can
pay his debts, and every depart
ment of industry. trade and com
merce, have received new life and
impetus. Money circnlates freely,
and real want is almost unknown.
AS u nation. as state, and as
individuals, We should be genu
iaely thankful, and express the
feeling in substantial form. All
though prosperity is wide. spread,
We still have the poor and sor-
rowing with us. and kindly
thoughts. words and deeds. should
be freely given toward adding to
their comfort and happiness.
While a bountifni and delicious
dinner is in keeping with The sea-
son, it is NOT genuinely Thanks
giving feast unless shared with
others. Ii unable to have your
less fortunate friends and neigh |
bors with you, show your good
will and remembrance by sending
at least one OF them reminder of
your continued friendship.
Another excellent way to OBJ !
serve Thanksgiving is to make !
some self denial, in the way of
food, dress or pleasure and de-
vote the amount thus saved to
some worthy cause.
