One Of LicoIn's Stories

This story Of Lincoln seems to be a
new one. It was related at an old set
tiers meeting at Mt. Pleasant, Ia, by
the late Senator James Harlan OF Iowa,
who sreved as secretary Of the interior
under Mr.. Lincoln, and whose daugh-
ter Mary is the wife Of Robert Lincoln,
ex-secretary of war now a leading
lawyer and capitalist OF Chicago.
Some politicians had called on Presi-
dent Lincoln to urge the appointment
Of some OF their friends to positions In
a certain department. BY way OF re-
fusal the president told the following
story:
"Gentlemen. the conditions IN that
department put me in mind OF the
time that young friend and myself
tried to court the two daughters OF 2
neppery widow living near our homes.
The old lady kept a lot of hounds.
1--WE had not been in the house long
before one of the hounds came into tne
room and lay down before the fire. IN
a little while another one came to the
door. He didn't get In, for the oio
adv gave him a kick, saying:
"Get out of here! There's too many
dogs in here now!"

girls

don't believe I'll ever get rid OF the

Pounds and bushels OF it." replied
the other Ahopelessly.

arologetic look at the old laborer across
the aisle.

for them" declared the one next the
window, signaling for the car to stop

II know It," replied the other, as they
rose, "and I'VE notion to burn UP

"Whew!" muttered Jones, moppins
the sweat from his brow, Il seem to

gy, Not an Absentee God.
New York. Dec. 20.-Dr. Lyman Alb
bott, in a sermon to Harvard students
has announced his belief in religion
founded, not on the bible but on
science and the out-reachings of the
human heart, says a World dispatch
from Cambridge, Mass.
Il wonder he said, "if you will un-
derstand me when say that no long
er believe in great first cause. My
God Is a great and ever present force.
which is manifest in all the activities
of man, and all the workings Of ma
ture.
81 believe in God who is in and
thru and Of everything-not an abb
sentee God whom we have to reach
thru a bible, or some other outside
aid, but God who is closer to US than
hands or feet. Science, literature and
history tells us there is one eternal en-
ergy, that the bible no longer can be
accepted, as ultimate, that many of its
laws were copied from other religions,
that the ten commandments did not
spring spontaneously from Moses, but
were, like all, gradual growth, and
that man is a creature not a creation.
No thinking man will ever say there
are many energies. The days of
polytheism are past. There is only
one energy. That energy has always
been working. 1t is an intelligent en-
ergy. No scientist can deny it. It
was working before Christ's time, even
as it is noW."

CITY PERSONS LIVE LONGER.
countrymen Die Young, Says Census
Rnroa,t

f !.
Washington. Dec. 20.--Resfdents OF
cities Of more than $4,000 population
live at least three and one-half years
longer than those in the country. This
fact has been disclosed by the experts
at the census bureau. II is not, as
might be inferred, the arising on cola
winter morning to build fires and mix
ten head Of cows that kills country
people. They just naturally live longer
in the cites than they do in the coun-
try. Dwellers in large cities take an
sorts of chances Of being killed oy
trolley cars, but the census once eN-
merits have figured out that few meet
death that way.
the median age Of the country's pop
nlation was 1897 years 100 years ago.
In 1900 1t had increased to 22s6 years
,rhe increase is at the rate of about
two-thirds of year each decade,
Naar,v one-fourth of the population OIL
tha limited States are less than ten
wears old, and more than three-seV-
enths less than 20 years old. Less
than one seventh have lived iifty years
ard only % out of every 1000 persons
have lived the allotted 70 years. Chli-
dren less than one year old contribute
25 per cent Of the aggregate popuia-
tion, while children under years con-
stitute 1872 per cent. The percentage
Of children under one year old In the
total population varies from one !. .o
thirty in Utah to one to sixty IN cali
fornia. There are fewer children ~
New England and on the Pacific coasl
than anywhere else in the Uniten
States. Three -flfths Of the American
population are in what is known as the
..productive age" group, whose ages are
between is and so years.
The government has firmly estap,
Nshed the fact that women 'ffb" about
their ages. This tendency is the stron-
gest in negroes and foreign born wo-
men, but nearly all insist on under
estimating their age. TIE NUMBER o
centenarians is grossly exaggerated
according to the bulletin, the exagger-
alton being especially marked in the Il
literate classes.

so charmingly sweet, and dainty, that
