The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-02-13

Being raised in a community supersti-
tious in the extreme, Lincoln believed in
supernatural portents all his life. Fri
day he considered fatal to every enter
prise, and, as it turned out, we'll he
might. He had many dreams which he
considered forecasts Of coming events,
once sending telegram to his wife to
take away 'Tad's" pistol, as he had had
a bad dream about him. A good dream
presaged the victories of Antietam, MUIR
freesborO, Gettysburg and Vicksburg He
related an Ill one just before his assas-
sination.

part in his first presidential campaign,
twenty-eight years after.

In youth he was an ardent advocate
of temperance, and delivered discoufses
on cruelty to animals and the horrors of
war. He liked stump-speaking much
more than the ak he had to WELD so
often.

Lincoln had very little actual school
education, his first goings, at the age of
10, were in Indiana, to woman named
Hazel Dorsey. He was often taken from
school to work or hire out. At II he
went again to Andrew Crawford's school,
and at II he saw the last of his school
days under a man named Swaney. All
the education he obtained afterward was
through his own exertions Education
defective" was his own definition given
to the compiler of the Dictionary of Con-
gress, although it was not q pleasant
thought to him.

Thought, conversation and observation
were his preferences, and when growing
mp he had rather a reputation for lazi-
ness and forwardness, because he loved
reading and thinking so much. Even
from a boy he liked to have the first
word, and to converse with any one near
enough to talk to, even to strangers de-
string to be directed. He is described
when just reaching early manhood as
exceedingly talkative, yet elemental un-
sifted and raw.

CHICAGO'S STOCK YARDS.

Twelve Thousand Tons of Dressed
 Meat Sent Out to Consumers
 The enormous output of a Chicago stockyard is well illustrated by the fol- lowing figures: At one of these places alone in single day, as many as 26, 900 cattle, 29,000 hogs and 27,O0O sheep, or @ total of over 80,000 animals, vii arrive in the stockyards.
 The 26,000 cattle would arrive in ,313 cars, and the animals would weigh 3O,- 4O7,OO0 pounds, representing, dressed, the enormous total of 18, ,00O ,O00 pounds, or 5000 tons of beef furnished by Chi- cago in one day.
 The sheep would weigh 2,234, ,O0O pounds, and would make 584 tons of mutton, while the hogs would yield 2,616 tons of pork.
 The cattle, sheep and hogs combined would give grand total of 12,000 tons of dressed meat distributed among the consumers of the world in one day by this single livestock market.
 The meat would fill a refrigerator train over eight miles long, and the animals, as received, would make train of 1887 cars, or solid train of 14A miles, or solid procession of anil mals, in single file. extending over a distance cS % miles.

TIHE SOUVENIR ALBUM.
Timely Tip to Tourists Going Away
 For the Summer.

Albums are now used sor all sorts of purposes. One girl has evolved the ingenious idea of preserving soul venfrs of the varions dining places she visits. The more odd the restaurants, the better for her purpose. Girls keep a record of the balls and parties they have been to by preserving the dance cards, pressed flower from the bou- that occasion. If the owner of the al- bum goes away during the vacation season and becomes real summer girl her experiences add a romantic flavor to the record. Indeed, pretty nearly every summer girl has an album or volume of some kind or other, for pho cards and various other memoranda, of acquaintances, scenes, excursions, places and people, who have helped her to beguile the tfne-
 These vacation records are in various styles, and art and ingenuity are ire quentIy apparent in their get-up. One for instance, has covers Of natural wood, with the title and ornamental tion in gold. This novel dress seems somehow to be entirely appropriate for the pretty book in which the events of ones holiday are top be noted. There are fancifully decorated pages, with blanks for photographs; others for newspaper clippings and autographs. Then opposite. each is page of color, and who should occupy these places of honor but her ddintiness, the sum- mer girl, arrayed in all the glory of her varied finery?
 The up-to-date edition of the old time album is the guest book. Such a book, for instance, is handsomely bound in scarlet morocco and the pages are spaced off to receive the name, residence, date of arrival and depar- ture, and any remarks the guest may
 be inspired to write.

THE WRESTLING BULLET.
Never Dangerous to the Person Who Hears 1t.

Never Dangerous to the Person Who / Hears It.
 Don't be afraid of a bullet that you have heard whistle" said General An drew Burt to a Star man at Fort Myer yesterday. If it sings in your ear rest assured that it will never harm you. In fact, as any old soldier will tell you, you never hear the bullet that hits you. It is a problem of 'windage,' as the boys in the army call it In other words, the bullet which you hear sing has already sped past you, and the bullet that hits you has hissed in the ear of some other fellow, in passing, before it got to you. It is simple proposition after all. The singing bull let is the atmospheric vibration which is created and the resistance which the air offers to the progress of the bullet. This cannot be detected by the ear un- til the bullet has crossed the parallel line with the ear. It may sail over your head or whiz close to the ground, but if it passes you at all the ear will catch the sound of it's flight. To the soldier of many battles the voice of the bullet is as music. He knows that he need have no dread of the bullet that sings in his ear. It is the bullet that he does not hear that must be feared and it is this bullet which always brings harm to him. No soldier ever heard the bullet which inflicted a wound on him.
 ''I was amused once by raw soldier who was attached to our command. It was his first time on the firing line. We were skirmishing and some sharp shooters were having fun at our ex- pense A bullet whizzed close to him, faintly we could hear the crack of a rifle, but it was not distinct enough to harm anybody. The singing of the but let. however, brought blanched ex- 'pression to his face. He did not vince, however We were lying in the edge of the woods. Another bullet whizzed by ID those things, don't like the sound said the young soldier. Zip another bullet split the air close to his head. 'Comrade,' he said to me be- tween bleached lips, I don't want to be shot from ambush. Let's charge the devils.' I told him not to fear a bullet that has spoken to him on It's flight. but he did not like the idea o1 lying in the woods and listening to the voices of those invisible messengers or death. h.''-Washington Star.

BANDsMEN PAID SIXTY CENTS.
Low Daily Earnings of Musicians fol
 Britannias Warships.

brlCannlaS WarSnlpS.
 The bandsmen in the British navy are almost all foreigners, who can play str1nged as well as wind instruments. Their pay is wretched. London Truth thus sums up the state of affairs. on in- formation derived from an officer on active service:
 The band in battleship, 1t seems, officially consists of twelve and in a flagship of fourteen members. besides the bandmaster, so that it is perfectly obvious that even if all have their sea- legs, the performance cannot be any but a modest one.
 These men are paid at the rate of Is 4d, and the bandmaster at 2s 5d day, With rations. The admiralty also gen. erously contributes E IF year in the case of battleships, and G2O in the case of fagship-a dole which is just suffi- c1ent to pay for band parts and re pairs The actual cost of the band in- struments, stands, etc, amounts to be- tween GS0 and $1OO; and this sum, to- gether with any extra pay which the men may receive. comes from the pockets of the captain and wardroom officers, who thus are in much the same delightful predicament as officers in the army hstA
 My correspondent thinks that E9 to $ 10 a month is a fair average, and that the cost of the band to the officers for commission of three and half years is about $ G550 out of which the ad- mira1ty dole is G59 los.
 The whole thing is, of course, an ab- surdity. The government contribution to any army band at present, GS0, is shortly to be raised to G16O a year. Even this is grossly insufficient for the purpose, and why the navy should be starved with a G17 band is not at all clear. Tn each case the officers, for some reason which no mortal man whose brain Is not dulled by depart mental routine can devine, are expected to pay the difference"

Oklahoma Lawyer Anxious About the

Oklahoma. Lawyer Anxious About the
 Uniform of Court of Appeals.
 ssThe proposition that has been going the rounds in Oklahoma to nave the Oklahoma court of appeals appear III session in black robes makes me very anxio,1s," said an Oklahoma lawyer Ill the Coates house last night. Tt IS bad enough for the United States su- preme court to have ito dress in sklrts. The people of the greatest uncroWneu oueen of states will not readily stand for the innovation. Dhink how the man who is before the tribunal Tor claim Jumping would feel to be con- fronted by a bunch of men wearing the effeninate garments of the gentler sex. .sts.
 ssBut the fact that there is great deal of support for. the proposition ln +he territory goes to show that the good times there are all over. When fine highest court of the great terri torv shall appear in women's togs it is time for the boomer to pack his prairie schooner for his last trek over the gyp brakes to the Panhandle of Texas-there to remain until the cll- mate shall change enough to allow him to raise small crop and get into trouble with the cowmen over there.
 "Oklal1oma is a new country, and as such is the first stopping place for many of the young men graduates of the eastern law schools. The tradl- tions of the common law come with them to the practice that is anything else than the rule in Shelly's case. These young men, however, are respon- sible for the proposition to robe the judges in imitation of the supreme court. They are seconded in their c1arnor by various women's clubs and girls who are receiving their finishing education in the big women's colleges of the east.
 ''It is not improbable that measure to have the court of appeals appear in gowns will be before the next leg isEatrre-if the court cannot be other wise induced to assume them. The first step was made in that direction a year or more ago when it was made mandatory that lawyers in Oklahoma courts appear in coats. Later the ci- gar was banished: and now it is con- sidered contempt of court for a lawyer to appear in other than dark clothes. That country is becoming fit- ted for statehood all right"

AMERICAN HAMMocKs-

ssThe American hammock, like the American sewing machine, is known all over the world" said a wholesale dealer. 1.-The styles do not change much, and the only difference between the seasons is that we sell more of them each year. English visitors used to laugh at the American hammock. Now we. export thousands of them ey7 cry year, not only to Great Britain, but to other European countries, and to Australia and Africa. Certain fancy varieties of hammocks have come Into the market that have more or less sale -hammocks for invalids that are more chairs than hammocks; hammocks for children, with canvas sides; and ham mocks for ut-of-the-way corners that look to be the most uncomf table things on earth. But for the old fashioned hammocks that one can swing beneath a tree, on a piazza or on a ships deck there is more demand than ever. Moreover, they cost about one-half as much now as they did five years ago. .i tl
 stWhen hammocks were made almost exclusively of coarse grass brought from Mexico or of imported twine, they were more or less of luxury.
 
 Then the cotton manufacturer got in to the game and produced woven ar ticle of strength and durability at a price that soon put the other fellows out of it. The old-fashioned and more expensive articles are still made, but they do not cut a very large fig ure iQ the tens of thousands of ham mocks sold in New York each sum- mer. Cotton hammocks are of all qualities colors and varieties. Many of them have pillows, but more Of them do not Most persons prefer sofa cushions. A cotton hammock may be bought for $1, or it may cost SIP. An imported Mexican grass hammock, entirely made by hand, is worth $75. You will find some beau tiful specimens of them in the country residences of the rich. Cheaper grades manufactured by machinery in this country may be bought for $1O, or even less. But the American cot ton hammock is the popular article for the market. New York Times.

THE WIDOWS M TIE.

 Two mites, one farthing, only one.
 My gift,'' she said, "so small. To Him who gives me everything.
 My life, even this-my all. ~'But then, how can I give the much
 When nought is mine beside? I'll trust Him, this my portion is:
 No want can me betide.'' Softly she passed the treasury nears
 The coin she dropped with grace, With downcast face and trembling hand;
 Then hastened from the place. The rich men saw the deed and smiled,
 As shekels in they cast, Less than a tithe of all their wealth
 In treasures full and vast "Behonld the widows gift!" Then said
 The Christ, who watching stood. '"More than they all she gives to God Herself, her very foodL" God who rewards His own. hath seen,
 And marked her faith and trust; Her name shall shine as stars of light.
