A Glowing Tribute
To Abraham Lincoln

Major Merwin, a close friend
Of Abraham Lincoln, thus spoke
of the martyred president in a
recent lecture in Minneapolis:
( Respect for the law was the
keynote Of Lincoln's legal life,
and sympathy for the masses the
handspring Of his action.

coins struggle for a law prac-I
tice when his yearly income was
under $1,500 a year a great rail-
way corporation offered him a.
position at $40, 600 per year, but
this was rejected after mature
deliberation by the future presi-
dent, who replied that his work
Hay among the poor, the oppres-
sed and the slaves.
Lincoln, = concluded the
speaker, twas the heir Of the
human race, lowered by the
Almighty.
Lincoln was all that was
tstrong and rugged in action all
that was beautiful and tender in
repose. Lincoln was the granite
rock and the graceful fern. He
was the beetling sea-crag, and
| the soft thistle down, the oak
and the orchid.
My friends let all who seek
to know Abraham Lincoln and
| the source of his rneasureless
power take in one hand the SER
mon on the mount and in the
other the speech at Gettysburg
and know that he holds within
his grasp all the gospel and all
the law. y Il.

in first. and there was no chair big
enough for her, so she sat down on

her down on the floor, and pa tried
TO help her up but it was like lifting
a load of hay. So he leaned her
against the wall, and said:

they were sent to their quarters, and
the owner of the show came to pa and
said he hoped~this would be the last of

The fat woman began to cry and sob,
so it sounded like an engine blowing
off steam. and she told pa that the
cause of her losing flesh was that she
was in love with a living skeleton.
and that he had been paying attention
to the bearded woman, and she would
scratch her eyes out if she could catch
her. Just then the living skeleton
came in, and when he saw the tat

pa talking soothing to her and tell

the fat woman, who sat on the floor
like a balloon blowed up, the bearded
woman gave kick at the living skei-
