X o m anc G. OF
Mary Lincoln
Born Of a Southern Family. She Became
tho Wife Of the Northern War President
------- ---------- -
BY KATHERINE POPE

Perhaps It was forgetfulness, perhaps
we never knew; but little surprise was
felt when 1t was recently brought TO our
attention that Mary Lincoln was a
southerner.
And yet, Of course she was, for her de-
tractors we're wont to say Of her that she
warmly espoused the cause of the con-
federacy, put forth all her strong infiu-
ence to keep her husband from his posi-
tive stand on the question Of slavery.
But those closely associated with the
Lincolns declare this false, avow that
Mrs. Lincoln, despite the fact that close
kindred we're bearing arms for the south,
was loyal to the north, most deeply in
terested in the cause in which her hus-
band was leader.
Yes, Lincoln married girl some mem
bers Of whose family were to fight for
the confederacy. Mary Todd was daugh-
ter Of Robert s. Todd, of Lexington, KY,
the Todds, people Of social position. the
family one of the most influential of the
early Kentucky and Illinois pioneers.
Her great-uncle, John Todd, won spurs
80 eA3S OANA n campaign "a IL TO- dAubQ
the capture of Kaskaskia and Vincennes,
and he, organized the civil government
Of what became the state of Illinois.
Mary Todds grandfather was one of the
survivors of the battle of Blue Licks.
The Todds, proud of thier old name,
bestowed careful training on the young
err branch of the family. Mary was edu-
Gated at Lexington, there taught the ac-
complishments Of the day. She was a
fine French scholar, and excelled in her
lessons generally. By personal acquain-
tances Of her youthful days she was de-
scribed as cheerful and fun-loving, as
well as quick-tempered. In mature
years she showed herself practical, did
her best to try to reform Lincoln in the
matter of looking after the financial re-
turns Of his profession. Ambitious, she

gagement, and on November 4. 1912, LIN
coin and Mary Todd we're married.
julien Gordon thus speaks Of the char
acters in this strange little drama:
There are those that insist that revenge
alone prompted the handsome and high
spirited girl whom he (Lincoln) had SO
grleyously wounded in her pride, her
heart. and her vanity, to hold him later
TO the letter Of his contract--to rivet her
claim at the cost of her own dignity. But
If strategy is not salient trait in Amer
lean character, Il seems to have been
essentially left out of his impulsive
iancees composition. In the close scru-
tiny Of facts such a surprise seems i'm
probable. There was little room in
Mary Todd's excitable, undisciplined
temper for so cool and calculated plan.
Far more probable does it seem to us that
an overmastering affection, repudiated,
but finally triumphant, drove her into
the arms of the man who had SO deeply
offended. And in those frenzied ebulli-
tions which tormented his and her best
years, darkening at last a mind unbal-
anced, may there not have lurked germ
of passionate love-of love which Lin
coins fidelity, angelic gentleness, stanch
loyalty. could never calm? Love alone
can satisfy love. II Is not always the
most quiet Preside which is the most
loving.
Superior to him in the accidents of
birth and education. surrounded by more
influential and prosperous admirers, it
seems to us that Miss Todd might well
have afforded to snap her fingers at the
small world of Springfield gossipers.
Yet she chung to her strange sutton, and,
at last, pale and trembling, as If driven
to the slaughter, he was led to the al
tar"
Truly, strange story.
Mrs Lincoln's life was greatly sad
dened by the war. which brought dis
cord into the Todd family, and also
death; several were slain in battle. An
other heavy sorrow was the loss of her
children, butone living to maturity. The
Lincolns had four sons, Edward Baker,
who died in infancy; William Wallace,
who died at the age Of IL, while Lincoln
was. president; Thomas, the Tad" of so
many anecdotes. dying at 10, several
years after the death of his father; Rob-
ert, the first-born, is still living. All
this sorrow made of Mrs. Lincoln sad,

Ths Brigadier and the Horsea.

When informed that Gen. Stoughton
had been captured by the confederates
at Fairfax, the president is reported to
have said that he did not mind the loss
of the brigadier as much as he did the
loss of the horses.
For" he said, Il can make a much
better brigadier In five minutes, but the
horses cost $125 apiece"

The movement in Reading dominated
 attention throughout the day. Its mod
 crate advance in the morning carried
 the market with it. but in it's most viO-
 lent and feyerish stages its effect upon
 the general speculation became unfa-
 vorable. As consequence the market
 moved contrary to Reading, the re-
 spOnse to all fluctuations being remark
 ably close.
 As a consequence the considerable
 general gains which were established
 at one time were entirely wiped out at
 another, when Reading was in the
 course Of its higher flights. Fears con-
 tinued that a corner in the stock was about to be precipitated, which might
 demoralize the general market The conductors of the principal operations ! in the stock vehemently denied that there was any danger Of a corner, but they persisted in predictions of con-
 stantly higher prices for the stock, and
 as they were apparently able to en-
 force their predictions theee was not
 much comfort for the shorts in assur- ances against a corner. The shadow of a threatened corner in the market may sufficiently explain, therefore, the growing hesitation of the speculative tone.
 The preliminary estimates of the
 movement of currency for the week was further unsettling influence, Ow- ing to the indication of poor bank statement tomorrow. Sterling ex- change was firm at a further slight
 advance, and discussion continued of the likelihood of an export movement of gold. The furry in call money late
 in the day emphasized the influence of the banking outlook and prices ran off, wiping out gains except in a few cases where special movements had been in force.
 Reading sold as high as 1894, but closed at 13S, a rise of SIS over night and points above the high price touched yesterday.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $S,795,O0O.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

TRIALS OF ASSESSORS,
People Object to Questioning anc
Sometimes Do So ForcibIy.

Des Moines. Feb. 2.-'The people of
the state seem suspicious of the CEN
sus. They are asking many questions
concerning its object This is thought
| to be due mainly to the fact that the
assessors are counting the people.
They also assess property for taxation.
In these days of ferrets and one thing
and another the people are wondering
why so many questions are being ask
| ed by the authorities.
| AT one point the assessor persisted in
making inquiry as to the number of
chickens citizen owned and had on
the place. Evasive answers were re-
turned, he says. to many Of the inquir-
les, but he kept pressing them with a
view to acquiring accurate information
as to the number of fowl, etc, In the
poultry house.
| Finally the farmer got his dander up.
Look here mister" he yelled, shaking
| his fist in the assessors face, "by gum,
| We don't come no game like that on me,
no stree. Bob. | know what fer you
want to know about them air chickens.
| You want to come back here tonight
and rob air roost. that's what is the

Grief at Mt. Vernon.
But the assessor of the town Of Mt
Vernon is having trouble with the in
quisitive Yankee. too. He has appealed
to the executive council for assistance
in wardng off the boisterous questions
of the town, and has been sent a copy
of the census of 1895 with information
to the effect that the constitution of
Iowa contemplates the enumeration Of
the people and their industries tor their
own satisfaction and the profit. of the
world at large. Assessor Hess of Mt.
Vernon has written as follows:
Mount Vernon, Ia. Jan. 81, 1905.-Mr.
A. III. Dawson, Secretary Of Executive
Councils: Dear Sir-I am the assessor
of the town of Mt. Vernon, county Of
Linn state of Iowa, and In my work l
am continually asked what is the OBJ
ject of all these questions? What
motive has the state In view? What is
to be done with this information? etc.
The American people are great quest
toner's and none more SO than our
Iowans. The common people are ask
ing why. Some ascr1be an Interior
motive. Some flatly refuse to answer
in regard to products The people are
interested as / have never seen them
before. but they question, really ques-
ton, the good intentions of the great
state of Iowa. AS very small arm of
that state have been trying to eluci-
date these matters and for this reason
l now address you. Can you not send
me some pamphlet or leaf1et bearing on
this matter, this real purpose Of the
state, or cite me where l can procure
such information? What would like
best would be a plain, concise state
ment from yourself bearing on this
question. Any information you may be
able to send me will be thankfully re-
ceived. Respectfully yours, j. G. Hess.
