Shortly after the close OF this session
occurred tie sad death Of Anne Rut-
ledge that threw Lincoln into despair
and. according to his best friends,
brought him near even to the verge OF
madness.
II was at this time that Mr.. Lincoln
began the practice of law. first in the
Justice courts. afterward as a circuit
-lder. In 1886 he was nominated for
the legislature, and In the ensuing cam
paign his great powers began to be-
come manifest. Before the fight was
over he had gained more than county
fame as q stump speaker, showing
something of the powers as a debater
and orator which a few years later en-
abled him to overcome the foremost de-
batter in the country. Stephen A. Doug
las. One incident Of this campaign Is
worth repeating. There lived in Spring
field a rather grandiloquent parsonage
of the name of Forquer. He had been
a Wing, but had turned Democrat and
soon after was appointed to a fat fed
eraI office. He was the only man In
Springfield with a lightning rod on his
house. After one of Lincoln's speeches
Forquer rose and said, This young
man must be taken down, and l am
truly sorry hat the task deyolves upon
me-" after which lie proceeded In an
overbearing way to attack Lincoln and
his speech. In response Lincoln an
swered Forquer's arguments in a a
ner that seemed to the crowd as over
whelming. He hen ended his rejoinder
in these words:
The gentleman commenced his speech
by saying that his young man-alluding
to me-must be taken down. / am not SO
young in years as / am in the tricks and
trade of a politician; but. live long or die
young. / would rather die now than, like
the gentleman. change my politics for a
IS, 900 office and then feel obliged to erect
a lightning rod over my house to protect
a guilty conscience from the vengeance
of an offended God.
Lincoln was elected in this campaign
by an increased majority. There were

hoDf 10 AehhS' and he and
Honest Abe" often crossed swords. 1t
was in this session likewise that the
future president made his first record
ed protest against slavery. There was
only one mar in the entire body that
had the courage to sign it with him, al
though it was a comparatively mild
document.
After the state capitol had been
moved Lincoln left New Salem, where
he had formerly lived, and moved to
Springfield. All his possessions he car.
ried in a pair Of saddlebagS In fact,
he had always been poor and so re-
manned to the end When first elected to
the Legislature lie was compelled to Dor
row $500 for ciothc1 and conveyance.
At Springfield Lincoln began his law
practice in earnest and continued it
nearly a quarter of a century. Despite
his change of residence lie was re-elect
ed to the Legislature in 1s3S. as he was
also in 1910 In the last named year he
stumped the entire state i'll the famous

Of these last sessions in which he serv-
ed that Mr.. Lincoln and another Wing

of the house The attempt was to
break a deadlock Often he convulsed
the house with his apt and droll stories
and on one occasion effectually squelch-
ed a former attorney general IF the
state who was trying to make merry
at his expense. He said the gentleman
talked so much it reminded him Of a
man who shot for hours at what he
thought was a squirrel, but which
turned out to be only a louise in his eye
brow. Tie story silenced Lincoln's op-
ponent for the rest of the session.
At one time during his legislative ca
reer Mr.. Lincoln was urged to consent
to a log rolling proposition. He said:
You may burn my body to ashes and
scatter them to the winds of heaven, o
may drag my soul down to the regions of
darkness and despair to be tormented
by fiends of the damned forever, but you
will never get me to support a measure

By WALTON WILLIAMS

7ITTLE has been said of Abraham
Lincoln's service in the Illinois
~ legislature. Yet his eight years
In that body formed the foun-
dalton for his political career. He was
defeated once, the first time he ran, at
the age of twenty-three. But he receiv-
ed all except seven votes In his own
precinct and formed an acquaintance
with the people that carried him
through two years later.
His first race was In 1882. Lincoln
was just through his soldier experience
in the Black Hawk war, in which he
had been captain of a company. His
first appearance on the stump was
at a public sale at Pappsville, near
Springfield. Lincoln stopped a fist fight
by hurling one Of the trouble makers a
dozen feet through the air and then
spoke as follows:
Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens-I pre-
sumo you all know who l am. l am hum
BILE Abraham Lincoln. / have been So
licited by my friends to become a candi-
date for the Legislature. My politics are
short and sweet, like the old woman's
dance. | am In favor of a national bank.
1 am In favor of the internal improvement
system and a high protective tariff. These
are my sentiments and political principles.
If elected ! shall be thanktul; If not 1t
will be all the same.
After his defeat he became u mer-
chant in Il small way and was also
postmaster for a short time. 1t was
some time in 1882 that he began the
study of law. He also spent a portion
of the next two years as a surveyor.
In 1884 came the second race for the
legislature. In relation to this anvas
Mr.. Herndon. afterward law partner
and b%iographer of the martyr presi-
dent, tells the following story;
He Qincoln) came to my house near
Island Grove during harvest. He got his
dinner and went out In the field where the
men were at work. ! gave him an intro
d~uction, and the boys said they could not
vote for a man unless he could make a
hand" well, boys" said he, "if that
is all, / am sure of your votes" He took
hold Of the cradle and led all the way
round with perfect ease, The boys We're
satisfied, and l don't think he lost a vote
in the crowd. The next day there was
speaking at Berlin. He went from my
house with DIR. Barnett. the man that had
asked me who this mar Lincoln was. l
told him that he was a candidate for the
legislature. He laughed and said, Cant
the party raise better material than
that?' | said, go tomorrow and hear all
before you pronounce judgment" When
he came back / said. Doctor, what say
you now?' why. sir" said he, "he is a
perfect take-in. He knows more than
all of them put together"

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Charged with
conspiring to counterfeit the 100 peos
note Of the Colombian republic, ST.

nected with a firm of exporters, and
Samuel Otera, were arrested in this
city today by United States secret
service employees. They were held in

At the preliminary hearing one Of
the secret service men declared that
Boehm and Otera proposed to produce
100000 Of the 100 peos notes, each rep
resenting about $40 in American mon
ey. With the spurious coin, the agent
asserted, it was proposed to operate
from Cuba in buying cattle in Colom-

to foreign countries and there Sold
The agent said that the defendants
set forth that they could buy and sell

SOME STRAY SHOTS
FROM A PREACHER
Chas. Stelzle Says Preacher Who
Trims the Truth Does
Not Last.
Some Points on Relation of the
Workingman to the Church
of Christ.

I have observed that the preacher
who trims the truth does not long
hold the respect of his congregation,
they be rich or poor. Some
times a man Of small caliber will at
tempt to fire a shot which ia too big
for him, and the recoil knocks him
down. His views are not we'll bal
anced. He is weak in his general
makeup. And he goes down, not be-
cause he has fired the big shot-fof
others have done it and brought down
the enemy-but because he could not
make good for. his general proposition.
He will then decalre that he is down
and out because he dared to tell the
truth, when really, he is out because
he could not tell enough truth.
A western labor commissioner re-
Gently declared that Christ's admoni-
ton to the rich young ruler to "sell
all that thou hast, give it. to the poor,
and follow me-" applies to every per-
son who would become true follower
Of "the meek and lowly Jusus." ITO
come in the right spirit you must
come poor in person" he further in
sists. He then adds that were a
preacher to advocate this doctrine he
would lose his pulpit in less than a
month.
Probably laboring men would be
among the first to declare such a
preacher an unbalanced fanatic.
But did not Christ teach this doc
trfne to the Church? No; he taught
it to a single individual whose wealth
stood in the way Of his following the
Master. It was not a. general COM
mand to be observed by every would
be Christian. The communism which
existed for brief period in the early
Church was purely a voluntary ar
rangement. 1t did not apply to all
Christians, nor to any Of them all the
time. There really Is, such a. thing as
a communism Of sense in the Church,
and among workingmen, too.
It is raising an old question to ask
if the workingman will be welcome
Princeton University, who some years
ago tramped it as workingman, tells
us that he was almost invariably CIV
en- a hearty reception in the churches
which he attended. During the Min
neapolis convention Of the American
Federation OF Labor, L preached in
what Is supposed to be the wealthiest
church in that city. Scattered
throughout the audience, and occupy
ing some Of the best seats, I recog-
nized quite a few delegates who were
attending the convention, besides
others who greeted me after the SER
vices.

STRIKE BREAKER IS
A VER|TAbLE JUDAS
Prof. Eliot's Modern Hero es -
Roundly Scored BY Popular
Congregational Minister.
Saws IF Strike Breaker Is a Hero
Then Judas Ought to Be
L,auded,

It is not often that the rights of
labor find an exponent and defender
in the pulpits and for that reason the
following extracts taken from a SER
mon recently preached by Rev. Alan
Hudson, of the First Congregational
church, Brocton, Mass, is "a remark
able dissertation which cannot fail
to be an inspiration to every true
and honest union man when he feels
the duties of his unionism are becom-
ing a strain upon the resources and
menace to his necessities and any
one Of the paragraphs quoted is a
wholesome sermon in itself:
Human rights are not SO much
matter of law as they are of nature.
They are God given. 1t is for this
reason that a strike is justifiable.
When rights cannot be secured by
reason and arbitration, then the strike
is a righteous necessity. It has re-
Gently been stated by an eminent pub
licist that a strike is morally wrong.
When greed and monopoly refuse to
recognize the simple rights of the
worker then the strike is not only
necessary, but it Is the poor mans
God given right. Will any man say
that the strikes that redeemed chill
dren from a 16-hour day in the fac
tories were wrong? Will he say that
the strikes that have transformed the
lives Of mill-women from slaves to
that of human beings were wrong?
Strikes have brought about temporary
distress, but they have done much to
better the condition Of the toiler. They
have made the factories healthier,
they have transformed the worker
from a serf to a man, they have made
it possible for a child to study instead
of slave.
1--WE were told few months ago
by an eminent educator that the
strike breaker is a hero. I believe,
on the other hand, that the man who
has no sympathy for the needs and
rights of others and cares only for
himself and betrays their cause is not
a hero, but traitor. He we'll de-
serves the expressive name 'scab.'
why has the world for nineteen
hundred years execrated the name Of
Judas? Because he had no sympathy
because like the strike breaker, he
betrayed his friend. Why has Bene-
dict Arnold gone down into American
history covered with dishonor? Be-
cause in the hour of his country's
need he betrayed, her cause and
thought only Of his own selfish inter-
est. ..>@& :.

been one Of unprecedented cargoes and
profits. The percentage of earnings
of both steel and wooden vessels has
been 50 large as to fully justify the
orders already placed, giving lake
shipbuilders all they can possibly do
during the coming year. An unex

December has made the total for the
season somewhat larger than was ex-
pected, it being 37,5135s9 tons, an In
crease Of 4,O36,6S5 tons over 1905. With
