Abraham LimcOlm'S
Joke
By j. B. Taylor

DACK in the SOS, when Abraham
IL Lincoln was little more than AN
obscure country lawyer. he was fond oi
a Joke. At one time he made the late
Judge Stephen T. Logan the butt OF one
and came nearly being placed under The
displeasure of the court for the deed
While riding with a cavalcade OF law
yers who went with the jurist around the
circuit, Lincoln was going from Lincoln
Logan County, TO Delavan, Tazewcu
County, both in Illinois. \ marsh was
encountered on the Delavan prairie.
The expanse of water before them was
about half a mile wide and nearly all
the lawyers believed that Salt Creek had
broken its banks and formed a new
channel Lincoln knew better. and
thought this an OppOrtune time to ger
a joke on the Judge and his brother law
yers. So he pretended TO join in the
general belief of the party, and said
This is a pretty mess! Now we either
shall have to swim the river or 60 twelve
miles out of the way TO find a bridge
How can We safely swim this swollen
stream." one of the riders asked
There is only one safe way sug
gested Lincoln. We must remove all
our clothing and tie 1t on our backs
to keep it dry, then ride through" "
But. Mr.. Lincoln said Judge Logan
this indeed would be a most undignifeI
manner of doing anything.
Very well, Your honor, said Lincoln
you may stand upon ceremony; bur &
intend to have a dry suit on when
get TO Delavan."
Fitting his actions to his words. the
lanky lawyer began TO disrobe Others
followed promptly. and by the time all
were ready for the plunge the dignireL
juriSt had stripped himself. The riders
led by Lincoln, bent up their legs Ike

thunder-clap. And through it all he
clung to the cudgel he was twisting, his
feet wedged in the jut of the cage, help
less as a trussed fowl.
For with a sudden tinkle of broken NOR
tar the two bars which Rutherford had
been dragging together drew out of their
setting in the stone ledge above. They
bowed outward under his weight as a
door turns back upon its hinges. One
desperate, futile grasp at the cage, and
they had carried him out over the street,
where he hung, clinging to them by his
arms, like some grotesque sign-board.
Then the lower ends tore out or parted,
and with a last weird and freezing scream
he thudded down to the stones fifteen
feet below.
Horniman released the cudgel, and the
backward twirl of it raped the skin
from his knuckles and nearly threw him
after his companion. He felt for and
found the ladder and clambered down.
William Horatio Rutherford was as
dead as the iron bars that had fallen
across him He lay flat on his back,
thin stream of blood trickling from his
nostrils, his eyes open and without specu-
lation Horniman, inexperienced in vio
lent death, staggered back against the
wall with tremulOuS wall of horror.
But as he stood trembling and staring at
that crumpled heap in the roadway there
came a sound that turned him to a more
personal alarm. In the silence from the
street beyond the alley he heard the swift
patter of running feet. No wonder the
alarm was raised! That last scream
would have walked the dead, and how
much more the living?
He glanced upward at the window.
1t was still in darkness. Was she indeed
waiting behind the broken cage? Poor
girl were it even so, he could do nothing
now. The steps were entering the alley;
more steps-others had joined the chase
He turned and ran.
1t was not till he had almost reached
the church that he remembered that the
alley was blind. Fortunately the paling
to his left was not high. He scrambled
to the top, caught glimpse of hurrying
figures and tossing lanterns in the shad-
ows and dropped into a garden. As he
fled across it the moonlight showed him
his bleeding hand. He had gloves in his
pocket, as he remembered, and dragged
them over those suspicious traces. An
other fence, wall this time, and he was
in a narrow lane leading downward. He
checked himself into quick walk, and
SO reached the plaza, from which the
people were already drifting; for the band
had marched off to barracks, and they
keep early hours in provincial Spain
Ten minutes more and he was in his
own room.
1t was sleepless night for Horniman
Romance had broken down before COM
nonsense under the duress of tragedy
His possible arrest, his futile explanations
in reply its effect upon the firm in which
his respectability had ever shone un-
tarnished-so strobe the nightmare pro-
Cession. Yet to be fair with him, there
were long moments when the poor girl
held all his thoughts. Why had she not
kept the rendezvous? Had she only
been at the window there would have
been no need for the final effort to stretch
the bars, an effort that had brought so
terrible a conclusion. Could he COM

INTERESTING TEST.
Experiments to Prove Relative Value
of Deep and Shallow Guilt
walton for Grains.

Experiments in deep and shallow cul-
tivation have been conducted by a num-
Der of experiment stations of the cOun-
try. The Ohio station has completed n
niHe-year series of such experiments
and reports as follows:
For deep cultivation the double shOv-
ell has been used, working the ground
TO a depth of four inches or a little
more. For shallow working a swing
tooth cultivator has been used and the
ground is stirred to a depth of an inch
and a half.
Taking each years test by itself
with a single exception, shallow cult
walton has given a larger yield of grain,
regardless of weather conditions. One
season. it is true. the increase is of lit
tie moment. With the exception Of one
season the yield of slower is larger
from the shallow cultivation.
Taking the average for the nine sea-
sons work. shallow cultivation leads in
grain by exactly four bushels per acre.
and in stOver by over 200 pounds per
acre. This matter of deep and shall
low cultivation would seem t be pretty
well settled"
The work at the other stations has
quite generally produced similar re-
suits.

The strawberry plant is something

green throughout the winter.
Every farmer, no matter what crop

COLLECTION OF ORR KIDS.
A Bunch That Must Have Impressed
the Naturalist as Being Ex-
ceedingly Fine.

One of the stories John Burroughs, the
aged naturalist, loves to tell has to do with
a friend of his named Orr, says the New
York Press. On one of his trips Mr.. Bur-
roughs happened to be in the own where
Mr.. Orr lives. Meeting him in the street
Mr.. Burroughs insisted that his friend
should accompany him to the hotel for
luncheon. AS they were eating MIR. Bur
roughs inquired if his friends was not in
terested in any specially.
Il think" said the naturalist, every
man ought to nave a collection of some
kind. 1t adds zest TO life"
"Oh, yes" said his friend. II have quite
a collection. | am interested in flowers.
Come home with me and III show them
to you"

fine, healthy children, playing on the lawn,
ran to meet their father.

The especial advantage of the Couch
Casket is found in its relief from that
stiffness usually noted in all other de-
signs, and impressing the minds Of the
friends as we'll as that Of the family
with a feeling of peace and restfulness
not known before.
If it is desired to retain all of the
preservation qualities as found in the
copper Innings, the Couch Casket can
be enclosed in a metal lined outside
box, which will then answer the double
purpose of preserving both the casket
as we'll as the remains.
All u~ndertakers in the south should
be in a position to furnish these latest
improved goods, as the National Casket

nishing them on short notice, and large
sales already proves that their efforts
are being appreciated by the best class

A NEW-sT.lE cAsKET.
An Innovation Which Does Away
with the Uncomfortable
Appearing Coffin.

1t is not so much what you pay for,
nor what you pay, but what you get
that needs your attention in the selec-
ton OF a casket, for the genius Of the
twentieth century has been just as busy
in the way Of funeral furnishings S in
other lines, until to-day the styles of
caskets are quite different from what
they were fifty years ago and changing
every day.
This is especially true in Metallic
Baskets, the old style heavy cast iron
goods having given away to the more
u%p-to-date copper Innings which are
neatly fitted into the best grades Of
vanished or cloth covered work.
One of the latest designs as recently
brought out by the National Casket Co.,
is what is designated as a Couch
Casket, which has the appearance Of
a comfortable couch when open, yet re-
tains all the requisite outlines Of the
best styles in regular casKet work when
closed.

When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
"Ever since I had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, l have had
periodical spells Of complete exhaustion.
ANY excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into n state of ~lifeless-
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back i'll a moderate time,
but the period of weakness kept length
ening until at last / would lie helpless
as many as three hours at a stretch"
"You were under medical treatment,
of c~ourseP'
eyes, when I became so bad that I
had to give upmy homework, i'll May of
1903, I was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life. I
was not only weak, but I had dizzy
feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me SO little good
that I gave up his treatment. and really
feared that my case was incurable."
What saved you from your state OF
hopelessness?"
SIN July Of 1903 I had a very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with q little book which told of remark
able cures effected by a remedy for the
blood and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought a box for me, and
that was the beginning of my return to
health. My appetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quoted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
"How long did you take this remedy
"For two months only. At the enc
of that time I had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends say
that I am looking better than l have
donef for the past fifteen years."
