LiNcoLN's PRIVATE CAR.
Steps Taken For the Preservation OF
Famous Maritime Relic.

Famous Wartime Relic.
The famous old Lincoln car, in which
that great president journeyed to
Washington. and in which his BODY
was afterward borne for entombment
at Springfield, ILL.,. rolled into the rail-
road yards at Minneapolis a few days
ago for delivery to its new owner,
Thomas Lowry. who bought 1t from
spc culators who had been exhibiting
1t at various points. When the di1gy
old coach was at rest on siding car
checkers looked for the initial and the
number, but all signs familiar to the
railroad men Of today were missing.
The brown, travel-worn car made It's
last travel by slow stages from joliet
where 1t has been lying. It's racked
and creaking joints allowed only SLOW
progress northward. For years the
relic rested forgotten in the yards or
the Union Pacific road at Omaha
slowly disintergrating.
The car seemed doomed to fall in'o
vandal hands, when 1t was suggested
to Thomas Lowry that Minneapolis
ought to provide a final resting place
for the car. Mr.. Lowry sent his rep
resentative to Joliet, and the relic was
bought and started for Minneapolis.
1t will be assembled when the original
light ht-weight trucks reach the city from
st. Louis. and skilled mechanics Will
restore II to it's original condition so
far as possible.
Veterans Of the war who knew the
president, who were witnesses or
events connected with the trip from
Washington to Springfield, and those
who were familiar with the "palatiai
railroad cars of wartime days. Will be
the appreciative visitors to inspect the
car. Although when built the coach
was a magnificent work OF the car
builders art" now, from railroad
point of view it Is hardly worth even
"scrapping." With its light construc-
tion, it's little hand rails on the d.
minutive platform, and buffers which
would offer little resistance to the
palace car of today, 1t Is a lone rep
resentative of pioneer railroading
equipment.
In exterior the coach Is a dark
brown. 1t has a dozen or more little
windows on each side. set high from
the ground, and otherwise Is OF an
absolute type of car architecture. In
side, it has been stripped. as 1t was
used to admit the casket Of Abraham
Lincoln, and until restored will not
appear as 1t did when 1t was the
presidents base Of war operations

WINNING HIS NAME.
An Indian Boys Battle with. Wolf In
Old Newfoundland.

With the following somewhat CORY
scene Theodore Roberts opens his story
Of old Newfoundland, Brothers OF
Peril" 1.-The boy struck again with
his flint knife. and again The, great wolf
tore at his shoulder. The eyes Of the
boy were fierce as those Of the beast.
Neither wavered. Neither showed any
signs Of pain. The dark spruces stood
above them, with the first shadows OF
light in their branches, and the west
ern sky was stained red where the
sun had been. Twice the wolf dropped
his antagonists shoulder In a vain at
tempt to grip the throat. The boy
pressed to the ground, flung himself
about like a dog and repeatedly drove
his clumsy weapon into the VOLTS
shaggy side. At last the fight ended.
The great timber wolf lay stretched
dead in awful passiveness. His fangs
cleaned like ivory between his scarlet
laws and black lips. A simmer OF
white menaced the quiet wilderness
from the recesses Of the half shut eye
lids.
For a moment the boy lay still, with
the fingers Of his left hand buried In
the VOLTS mane and his right hand a
blot of red against the VOLTS SIDE
Presently staggering on bent legs, he
went down to the river and washed his
mangled arm and should der In the cool
water. The shock Of 1t cleared his
brain and s:eadied his eyes. He waded
into the current to his middle. stopped
to the racing surface and drank un-
stintingly. Strength flooded back to
blood and muscle and the slender limbs
regained their lightness.
"By this time few pale stars gleam-
ID on the paler background OF the
eastern sky. A longer finger streak OF
red low down on the hilltops, still
liehtened the west. The boy saw moth
ing Of the changing beauty Of the sky.
He returned TO the dead wolf and set
about skinning 1t with his rude blade.
He worked with skill and speed. Soon
nedQ anu pell "ViC SiSoi Nit eHN
carcass. ard. collecting his arrows and
how. he flung the prize across his
shoulder and started along faint trail
through the spruces.
After walking rapidly for nearly an
hour the boy came out on a small
meadow bright with fires. Nineteen or
twenty conical wigwams made Of birch
poles. bark and caribou hides stood
about the meadow. Two women who
were broili7g meat at the fire looked
from the shaggy, blood stained pelt to
the stalwart stripping. They cried to
him softly in tones Of love and admir-
alton. Now give me my man name,'
demanded the boy.
"A stalwart man, the chief of the VII
lage strobe from the dark interior or
the nearest wigwam. His eyes gleam-
ed at the sight Of his boys torn arm
and the white teth Of the wolf. "Wolf
Slayerr he cried. He turned to the
women. Wolf Slayer he repeated
Let this be his man name-Wolf
Slayer'"

a Dramatic Scene.

The most dramatic scene ever wit.
messed In Westminster hall was that
trial in Henry Wills reign when 4SU
men and IL women appeared before
the King and some of his great mobiles
with ropes around their necks on n
charge OF being concerned in the rising
OF the prentices on the previous May
day. Fortunately they had good friends
In three Queens-Katherine. Mary Of
France and Margaret of Scotland
who begged for their pardon one their
knees. and when Henry ut last yielded
to such supplications the prisoners, It
Is said. gave n mighty shout for Joy,

Of the hail. The stage has never pro.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The belief on
the Stock Exchange today was that
the money rates are likely to be firmly

some cases bankers look for months
as the period of duration for higher
money rates.
The high rate today had the effect,
however, of attracting loans from out
side sources and there were large Of
