A member of the old Logan guards
of Pennsylvania, who early in the war
was stationed at Martinsburg, Va, says
the American Tribune, related the fol-
lowing incident:
Shortly after the arrival of the COM
pany, the squad to which my friend
was attached. was messed not far from
q pretentious house. The men had strict
orders not to enter this house; but from
the first night their interest in the place
became very strong, owing to the fact
that musical voices could be heard in
snatches of song during the day, which
snatches became perfect floods of mel
ody at night.
The unknown vocalist sang in tones

LINCOLN'S DEATH WARRANTS.
The President Had an Effective Way
of Disposing of the Dread
full Documents.

American history is full of personal
anecdotes and incidents OF the mag
nanimity and kindness of heart of Abra-
ham Lincoln. The venerable DR.. Bull
lock, for many years clergyman, liked
to tell story which he heard during q
visit he once made to MI. Robert Lincoln,
the presidents son. =.
The conversation naturally turned on
the father of the host, as DR.. Bullock had
known him during his early days in Ken
lucky. Mr.. Robert Lincoln, then minis
ter to England, recalled for his visitor
an incident of his childhood, which was
deeply impressed upon his memory, so
illustrative was it Of his fathers char
acter.
He was with his father in his cabinet
one morning during the early years of
the war when Secretary Stanton was an
nounced. Scarcely replying to the
courteous greeting of the President, Mr..
Stanton walked directly up to the desk
where Mr.: Lincoln was sitting and said:
"Mr. President, have come for the pa
pers that brought you yesterday to be
signed"
''Well," said the president, with an
expression in his face something like
that of convicted schoolboy, 'the truth
is, Stanton, they are not ready"
'Well, then, those you had the day be-
FORE"
''They are not ready, either" was the
answer, with somewhat quizzical look.
"But you have had some Of them for
whole week, and all l ask you to do is to
put your name to them. Come, do it
now! The whole batch will not take
half an hour. l will wait while you
sign. 1t is only trife am asking, and
it is not like you to hinder our work in
this way" 49,.
"A trifie!" echoed Mr.. Lincoln, with a
deep gravity settling over his care-worn
countenance. do you know what these
papers are?'
"Of course I do" answered the secre-
tary. "They are death warrants"
"And you call signing death warrant
a trifle? Look here!" and he drew out
frs..m under his desk basket overflow
ing With papers. Here are the papers
you have brought me during the last
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1904-02-18

week, and that you have been urging me
to sign, and every one of them will con-
denim man to death if put my name
to it. How can sign when know so
we'll what will be the result?"
"You must sign, Mr.. President; you
must sign them. You are clogging the
wheels of government. We have been
at q standstill for week because you
have picked out every death warrant
from the papers have brought you. No
wonder they have accumulated! But
now we cannot wait any longer. We
must have those papers, and you must
sign them,'' and Selling pen from the
rack, he dipped it in the ink.
Back and forth, up and down the room
strobe the tall form, as was his wont
when in perplexity. Suddenly his face
cleared, and he approached the hearth,
were there was glowing coal fire. TAX
ing up the poker, he stirred up bright
blaze; then, almost running across the
room, he picked up the basket of death
warrants and tossed them all on the
Goals A tongue of fire seized them and
puff of wind blew them up the chimney.
There, there, good riddance!" he NUT
tered, as he saw the ashes disappear.
Then heturnedto Mr.. Stanton, who stood
aghast and speechless for once, and with
a deprecating look said:
Il couldn't help it, Stanton, really
couldn't, and couldn't sign them. It is
too beautiful day to send so many
souls into eternity. don't believe the
wheels of government will be blocked.
Come, now, let us take walk down the
aVenue.'

drank in every note with rapture. In
the daytime they would lounge in
groups before the dwelling, but as the
doors remained shut and the blinds
down, they did not see soul.
Beauty, so every man felt, must be
an attribute of the sweet but unseen
singer; and it was surprising how all
the boys "prinked" up in the hope of
catching the attention of the unknown.
For week the music of that won
derful voice was heard till late every
night, and when it died out worldly
interest went with it, and the dreams
of the young men were filled with de-
lightful fancies of the fair but mysteri-
Gus songster.
One night the voice burst out with a
melody and rapture more enhancing
than usual, and one of the soldiers
sprang to his feet, exclaiming:
"By jove! I can't stand this any
longer. That beautiful nightingale is
going to be discovered"
The amorous youth at once started
off to reconnoiter the place. He crept
on tiptoe toward the dwelling leaped
the garden fence and finally. undis-
covered, but very pallid and remorseful,
the easement.
Slowly raising his head, he peered
through partly raised window. The
room was full of music and he seemed
to grow blind for the moment.
Lo! prone upon the kitchen hearth
sat the mysterious singer, in the shape
of fat, coal-black, middle-aged negress
tin kettles.
The soldiers limbs sank beneath
him, and the woman, catching sight
of him, stopped her singing and called
out:
go way, dere, won't yeh! Quick,
or I'll heave dis yere kettle at yer ugly
head!"
The soldier fastened back and told
of his discovery; but the boys dreamt
no more of lissome angels in the camp.

Clerk Mcdowell, of the house, saw
civil war service, and was at the battle
of Fredericksburg, which resulted dis
astrously for the union forces. His cap
tain was an officer of the name of Ridge
ley, and the company, after disastrous
encounter with the enemy, started on
lively retreat, relates the Washington
Post.
Il met with Capt. Ridgeley," said Mr..
Mcdowell yesterday. land almost at the
same moment Gen. Meade came riding
down upon us.
"'Form your men, captain shouted
the general.
''Ridgeley drew his sword. Form on
me, men, said he, obedient to the orders
from high authority.
"Ridgeley, soldier named Moriarity,
and myself were all there was to form.
AS we huddled together shell burst
near and Ridgeley ran for half mile
without stopping.
when he halted he again drew his
sword and shouted: Form on me, men,
Again shell burst and Ridgely sprinted
for another half mile to the rear, still
again drawing his sword and shouting:
Form on me, men,
by that time Moriarity and l were
exhausted from running. Form on you,
said l. How can we do that when you
can run faster than either of us?'"

Clock Plant.

The clock plant is asnative Of Bor-
neo, and in that country even it is said
to be rare, says the Melbourne Times.
The plant derives its name from its
peculiar habits, which are known to
but few who have not studied the plant
from scientific standpoint. The plant
has leaves of two Sizes one of which
acts in the capacity of minute hand,
which keeps moving until four o'clock
in the afternoon, and the other keeps
going until morning. The larger
leaves act as the hour hands. Starting
in a position when all the leaves lie
close to the stem, with the points
hanging down, they rise gradually un'
til they turn toward the top, and then
they drop to their former position. 1t
takes the smaller leaves about one
minute to 60 through this performance.
and the longer leaves just about an
hour.

We think OF a tree as a cooling agent
because it's shade protects us from the
heat of the sun, but it cools the air in
another way that Is not generally
known; in fact, it cools the air around
it as a lump OF ice cools a vessel Of
water.
The tree has a body temperature Of
about ID degrees, just as we have
a body temperature OF 50 degrees,
which is not affected by outside in1u,
Euces. 1t is the trees blood heat, so
% speak So that the air around it is
cooled by the tree itself as well as by
the shade it makes.
When a tree in full leaf is struck by
a strong wind we wonder that it is not
torn all to pieces. And so it would be
but for the way the limbs and twigs
are arranged by nature. That arrange
ment is such that the effect of the
wind is broken, for the limbs sway and
move in a hundred directions instead
of one, and the force of the blast is so
scattered that it Is comparatively
harmless.
If the limbs all moved at once in the
same direction no tree could escape
being torn apart.

AafSint Questions or thc Cuckoo.
A curious legend regarding the
cuckoo is found among the Danes,
which, with some notifications, is like
wise current in many parts of Ger
many, in England and the north of
Europe. When in early springtime the
voice of the cuckoo is first heard in
the woods, every village girl kisses her
hand and asks the question, Cuckoo,
rci,oo, when shall | be married? and
uc old folks inquire, Cuckoo, cuckoo,
when shall / be released from this
worlds cares?' The bird in answer
continues singing Cuckoo as many
times as years will elapse before the
object of their desires will come to
pass.
But as some old people live to an adj
vanced age and many girls marry late
I'm life the poor bird has SO much to
do in answering the questions put to
