axiom of precedent: the thing which,
in her experience, has been done, can
be done again. After this, the ueluge.
1t may be, for instance, that the
domestic goddess in question served
her first apprenticeship in family OF
ten. For the consumption of such a
family she was in the daily hab.. OF
preparing twenty potatoes in one or

add a thorough understanding of
higher algebra, geometry, and trig>

slight acquaintance with differentiaf
and integral calculus, she might in
time be able to discover that if ten
persons require twenty potatoes, by
the same ration of allotment three
persons might be satisfied with six.

"war is hell" and merges on bank

THE CENTURY FOR 1906
Mrs. Wards New Novel Begins in the No
vember Issue and Will Run
Several Months.

The lavish promises of a year ago
were splendidly fulfilled in The Cen
fury during l905-Its verse and es-
says, its pictures and fiction, its ar
ticles of timely interest and perma-
nent value, went beyond all promise
and expectation. The feast in 1905
will be even richer than i'm 1906.
There VIII be new novel by Mrs.
Humphry Ward, "Fenwick's Ca
reer." new humorous sereal by the
creator of "Susan Clegg,n and short
stories by the ablest and most popu-
lar writer's of the day. There will
be authoritative accounts of such
wonderful work as our construction
of the Panama Canal. w. S. Har-
wood will tell of Saving Califor-
mas Crops" The director of Cor
nell's School Of Agriculture, Prof.
l.. II. Bailey, will discuss the i'm
portant problem of the young man
and the farm. There will be many
other articles of kindred value and
interest. "Lincoln the LAWYER
the law career of Lincoln has been
neglected, in the opinion of author
tiles like President Mckinley and
the Hon. Joseph H. Choate--will
begin In the December Century.
Frederick Trevor Hill has made an
exhaustive study of this phase of
Lincoln's life and DEVELOPMENT, with
the assistance of able Illinois law
yers and officers of the Illinois HIS
torical Society; and his series of
papers will be rich in new and valu-
able material. Pictorially The Gem
fury will be more beautiful In 1906
than ever before-Howard Chandler
Christy's pictures of the American
girl, in full color, will be one OF many
features 1t will contain the cream
of the best American literature, art,
and thought.
Immediate subscription brings
the first chapters of Mrs. Wards
new novel and the beautiful Novem-
Der number.

WHY LINCOLN WAS POPULAR.
The Qualities Which Made Him Be
loved ell HIS Life Appeared in His
Youth.

Perhaps his most winning quality
with young aud old alike was his
sincere belief in his fellow towns-
men aud their community. Local
pride never had more buoyant
champion than he. For MIN san
CANON county in general, and New
Salem in particular, was the prom
ised land, and he was confident
that the people were equal to the
task of developing 1t according TO
It's deeds. Thus when 1t was first
suggested that the shallow, shag-
bound Saagamon River was naviga-
BILE and might be made a great
highway of commerce, he eagerly
championed the theory aud worked
with voice, pen and hand TO realize
a practical result. The Sangamon
Is siill unnavigable and New Salem
has disappeared, but Lincoln's plea
for improving the waterway re-
mans as evidence of his sincere be-
lief In the future OF the community
aud to show us what he could do
with weak cause at the age OF
twenty-one.
The argument is not remarkable,
but it is exceedingly interesting and
suggestive. Although he was young
and boy ish enthusiastic. Lincoln
did not overstate the possibilities
nor underestimate the difficulties OF
his case; and despite the really
Imaginable attempt which was after
ward made to force the passage OF
the Sangamon, there was nothing
lndicrous In his plea.
What he claimed sounds reason
able, and what he hoped for posi-
BILE, even in the face of failure.
This early effort plainly indicates
Lincoln's natural aptitude for logi-
cal statement But 1t does more
than that. Ii displays trait which
few layers possess; for the ability
to present facts clearly, concisely
ana effectively without taking un-
due advantage Of them is rare
legal quality. IL requires not only
ability, but courage; not only tact,
but character. 1t is one of the in
fallible test which distinguish the
legal bravo from the jurist, and IL
will be demonstrated in future
chapter that Lincoln fulfilled It IN
masterful fashion. From Frederick
Trevor Hills "LincOln the Law

INFORMATION

Each man has chance in a lifetime
to reach the point of success, and this
opportunity is offered in Missouri,
Arkansas and Louisiana, the three
great agricultural and timber States,
traversed by the Iron Mountain Route,
where land can be purchased at from
$3.50 to $4,000 per acre, that is pro-
ducing from $50 to $500 per acre each
year, in cotton, corn, hay, sugar cane,
fruit and vegetables. The returns from
alfalfa growing in this district have
proven record breaker = six crops
each year or six tons per acre at $500
per ton on local markets is what is
claimed. All that is necessary is fol
the homeseeker or investor to look over
the situation personally, as the country
speaks for itself, and on the first and
third Tuesdays ii each month Home
seekers tickets are offered at rate OF
one fare plus $500 for the round trip.
Four daily trains from St. Louis. Free

w. J. Bryan's attempt to buy the
sacred war stoal from noble Japan
ese family, as a souvenir of Admiral
Togo, has brought upon him much
criticism at the hands of Japanese
newspapers. This action was COM
pared the other day in Darlington,
by gentleman who has travelled In
japan, to an incident in the life of
Gen. u. 5. Grant. The General was
being accorded every possible honor
by Japanese potentates, while he
visited the empire. Approaching a
certain temple were two bridges; one
for the common people, the other
built of the finest laquered woods,
for the royal families exclusively,
and no other foot had ever profane l
its polished members. Gen. Grant
was offered the exclusive honor, on
account of his high rank, of crossing
this bridge, but he steadfastly de-
clined to do that which would yio-
late Japanese traditions or laws.
