A Few Sentences That Were written
by Abraham Lincoln.
It is not very well known that in
the hall of one of the great colleges of
England there hangs a frame inclosing
a few sentences of which Abraham
Lincoln is the author. They are con-
sidered the best English that was ever
written. You or might read them
over and call them very simple indeed.
And they are so simple that any child
who reads at all can read and under
stand them. That is one thing that
makes them great. It was his being
simple and plain that made Lincoln
himself great.
Now, here is a little paragraph by
Lincoln which he made a rule of his
conduct. Suppose you try to write IT
over and see how much you can Inn
prove it. See II each word is the right
one and try to find better word for
the place. Notice how simple this is.
All but two are words OF single syl-
liable:
AT am not bound to win, but am
bound to be true I am not bound to
succeed, but I am bound to live up to
the light 1 have. / must stand with
anybody that stands right-stand with
him while he is right and part with
him when he goes wrong"

Captain Pliny Norcross is considered
by Grand Army veterans in Madison as
the strongest candidate for the election
as department commander of Wisconsin.
He is said to be gaining strength daily
as fast as it becomes known that he is
available for the honor. Captain Nor
cross was late in allowing his friends to
use his name as a candidate, but since
he has become known as a candidate he
has become the leader in the race. The
fact that he will doubtless ba elected to
the assembly from the GAINESVILLE district
of Rock county lends strength to his
canvass, as the Grand Army men take
with enthusiasm to the prospect of hav-
ing popular and capable man as their
commander in the state legislature.
