New Story of Lincoln.

Lincoln's birthday brings out the
usual complement of Lincoln stories,
and most Of them have been published
in one form Or another, but ]. ID. Vel
yer of New York tells one that he
says never appeared in print.
In the thick of the civil war, wheL.
Lincoln vas troubled almost beyond
what he could bear, two men from a
western state applied to him for some
minor Offices. The president was dis.
susted at their opportunities, but
finally told them a story.
"One time a king went hunting. On
his way to the forest he met a subject
riding a donkey. Hello, king said the
subject. Hello subject said the king.
Where are you going, king?' I'm go

going to rain No, it isn't said the
king, my court astrologer said that it
would be fair weather. No, it's going
to rain persisted the subject, but the
king laughed at him and went hunting.
1t rained hard and the king returned
to his castle wet and bedraggled and
ordered that his astrOlOger'S head be
cut off. He sent for the subject who
had foretold rain and made him court

me it was going to rain said the
king. I knew that because my jackass

going to rain Then I will make your
jackass court astrologer,' said the king
and he did.

they did not see much point in the
story. Then the president added:

A Lost Lincoln Monument.
In 1867 Ii WI. Proposed to Greet a National Memorial In Washington Honor Of the
of the 500 o0o Thatw Was Raised for This Object

A movement to erect a monument
to President Lincoln has recalled the
existence and mysterious passing of
the National Lincoln Monument asso-
citation, chartered by act of Congress,
March 80. 1867.
The plan was backed by the most
prominent men in the country at the
time, and 100000 was raised by popu-
lar subscription. The design for the
monument was executed by Clark
Mills, the sculptor, a site in front of
the Capitol was selected. and cap
turcd Confederate cannon were turned
over to the association by the war de
partment from which to cast the
bronze figures surrounding the pedes.

But the association and its organic.
ers G to have vanished into thin
cir, work on the monument was never
even ' begun, and so far as can be
learned the money was never re.

From 1867 to 1889 the record of the
association is clear, but there is alb.
solutely nothing to show what became
of it after that date. The list of in.
corporators submitted to Congress in

for a charter included such prominent
men as James Harlan, Alexander

AMOUNT OF GOLD USED

tn Less Than Ten Years 1t Is Esti-
mated That $15,ooo,oo0 Worth Of the
Precious Metal Has Been Used In
Filling Teeth of Americans.

5ct it is not lost. .
More than 100000 worth of gold
IS used annually in caring for the
mouths of citizens Of the United
States who have been %neglectful in
he matter of their teeth. This
1900, 600 is practically wealth that is
iXed in the mouth OF a dentists pa
ient;~it ceases to exist as a precious
netal of Importance in the world of
nance and is only a plug in a tooth,

lied and murdered and perjured and

ran.
The figures seem vast when the

IDLY correct. The man in charge of the
5old department of the largest dental
;upply house in the country arrived
1t these figures after extensive re-
'earch and calculations and his esti-
nate is verified by other men in a po-
;ition to know.
Two million dollars taken out of its
stock of gold is the price that the
country pays annually for having it's
:eeth cared for in an up-to-date man
ner
Ten years ago it is estimated that
:nly 25 Per cent of the people of this
country ever went to a dentist ex-
,ept to have a tooth pulled. Five years
ago the percentage was 33 1-3. Now, it
is declared, so per cent of the popula-
ton pay visits to the dentists chair
for some other reason than that of
having an aching tooth extracted. This
increase in the number of dental pa
tients in the country has resulted in a
consequent increase in the amount OF
gold used for this purpose. Prac.
tically all of the SO per cent who are
numbered as the dentists patrons
have some gold in their teeth. Thus
ten years ago there was only about
100000 worth Of gold put into the
mouths Of the citizens as against the
81, 100000 of to-day. +,
Using the rate of increase each yeal
for the last ten years as a basis, the
average yearly consumption of the
| precious metal in this maner has been
about 81, 100000 a year. This would
make about $15. 900. 900 worth of gold
which has been put into teeth since
1894. For this amount could be built
three of the best ~battleships in the
world. the presidents salary could be
paid for thirty years, every voter who
goes to the polls this year could be
paid a dollar for his trouble and still
have a million for good measure.

Cullom, Samuel ~Shellenbarger and
Richard Yates. Senator Cullom of
Illinois, whose name appears as one
of the incorporators, said recently
that he didn't remember anything
about the association and couldn't say
why the project was not carried out
or what became OF the S1O0, 600 col
lected in o%ne-dollar subscriptions from
all over the country.
From the record it appears hat on
June IS, 1868, a little more than a
year after the association obtained its
charter, Congress passed a joint resO-
luton authorizing the Secretary of
War to place at the disposal of the
association damaged and captured
bronze and brass cannon and ordnance
out of which to cast the principal
figures surmounting the pedestal. The
act provided that no such allotment
Of ordnance should be made. however,
until The voluntary SUBJ riptions to
tho monument fund should reach $1O0.-
900.
While no record can be found to
show just how mucl, money was col
lcctcd. it is probable in view of the
above law that the amount was in OK
cess of $10D. 600. as the records of the
War department show that under the
| act twelve brass arnon were issued
! to the association.
Tho last Congress record Of'tEn as
sociation is an act passed in 1882, pro-
viGing that five trustees shonlI con
stilutc a legal quorum of the asso-
| citation: and it is believed that this
provision was enacted owing 10 the
! dying out Of interest in the project
and the difficulty that had bcen eX.
~pnvicnced in securing attendance al
the necessary meetings.
Recently a number of tie engraved
subscription receipts Of the association,
have been found. They wore executed
at the bureau of, engraving and bear
the signature Of Gen. F. e. Spinner
treasurer Of the association and al
lthat time treasurer OF the United
| States as we'll. III view OF this fact
it has been suggested that If the
books Of the treasury department were
carefully examined the $1,000 600 OF
more subscribed by the people and
placed in Gen. SpinEer's care would
be found on deposit.
The following description of the
monument, as designed by Clark Mills
and accepted by the association, was
published at the time:

When Lincoln was inaugurated the
first time there was one little Incl

The president-elect came forward
upon the platform prepared at the
east front of the capitol, with his
natural awkwardness increased by the
momentous circumstances of the oc-
c%asion, and by a gorgeous wardrobe,
i'll which it was evident he felt eX-
ceedingly uncomfortable. The stiff
dress coat. vest and p%antaloons of
black b%roadcloth were enough OF
themselves to disturb his mental and
physical equanimity, but to these
were added other membranes in the
shape of a brand new silk hat and a
p%onderous gold-headed cane.
The cane he managed to put away
in a corner, but the disposition of the
hat perplexed him greatly. 1t was too
good to throw away, too fine, as he
thought, to rest Upon the rough
boards, so, for a minute at least,
poor Lincoln stood there in the gaze
of assembled thousands, grasping the
hat desperately and seeking in vain
