LINCOLN'S DEEP HUMILITY
Pride of Place or Power Never Fault of the
Great President

They tell us that Lincoln's favor
tie poem was that familiar hymn, so
simple, so generally neglected by the
mass Of mankind, "Oh, why Should
the Spirit Of Mortal Be Proud?" Do
you know there is something most
touchingly pathetic in that? Think
OF the position Lincoln occupied-the
most exalted in the world. Surely it
is that. No man is born TO the presi-
dency of the United States. He is
there by no accident of birth or other
wise. He is there by the deliberate
choice of the 100000 sovereign peo-
pie who have the choosing of a head
for nation of 100000 of the most
intelligent, progressive and prosper
GUS people on earth. None but great
men ought to be exalted to such a
place. None but great men have
been exalted to it in II years. It is
the place of highest distinction among
men. Think of the humble origin
from which Lincoln rose to fill such
place. How Unexpectedly the honor
must have come to him. How great

Then think of the time in which
Lincoln filled this place of so great
distinction. History was being made
every second of the time-history so
momentous in its bearings on the flu
ture Of the human race as to over
shadow all other events, in what we
usually call "profane history" The
tasks to be performed, the perplexities
to be met were stupendous. The fate
of armies, aye, the fate of nations, in
deed the fate of the race hung in the
balance and depended on whether this
man should perform the tasks, meet
the perplexities, solve the complex
problems of the hour Alright or blum

his high office. He must have been

idea of the day of hearts and love

A very pretty way to send your
guests to the dining-room Is to have
some pink flowers in two separate
baskets, pink carnations for the boys
and pink roses for the girls, for pink
is the special color of the god of love.

names of some famous lovers of his

with the names of men to the carnas

women to the roses. Such names

Come what might, his was to be zone
of those immortal names that were
not born to die"
Think of this; and was it not pa
thetic that the great, patient, grim
figure should sit there with the great
events of civil war surging around
him, with hosts of men marching past
his windows, going "to do or die" for
their country. Great generals, dust
covered and begrimed with the mud
of the war, bloodstained with the lash
of battle, cast down by defeat, or
flushed with victory, bent before him.
The statesmen of the nation, the
greatest sons of all the soil, stood to
hear his commands. and every wish
he expressed was command to the
greatest of them; statesman or war
rior, whichever it might be.
And there that grim, gaunt figure
sat, and in all his weary, lonely hours
of all that prolonged struggle, the
uppermost thought in his mind, out
side of those of his Office, was embod-
led in the simple lines of that old
hymn, ooh, Why Should the Spirit of
Mortal Be Proud?" The great strain
which rested on the tired brain of the
great President, the awful flood of
sadness that surged through his heart
with every thought Of the great war
and all its possibilities and uncertain
ties, found relief and solace in those
lines. They held him heart and soul
bound to a higher power than earth
could furnish, to reliance on higher
wisdom than statesmen have, to a

So successful has been the turbine
for stationary and marine engines
that 1t is not strange that efforts
should be made to use it in connection
with locomotives. 1t has been pro-
posed to mount a steam boiler and
turbine on locomotive, and use the
power to drive dynamo which would
supply current to the motors similar
to those of an ordinary electric loco
motive. Recently, however, Prof.
Stumpf, of the Royal Technical School
at Charlottenburg, Germany, has in
vented locomotive where the tur-
bines are directly connected with the
axles.
There are three driving axles, and
the plan involves using the steam ia
successive stages in the turbines,
which are placed outside of each driv-
ing wheel. The steam is introduced
into the first turbine on one side
through pipe direct from the boiler,
and then passes successfully through
the second and third turbines on the
same side. 1t then goes to set OF
turbine on the other side of the loco
motive, from the last of which the ex-
hausted steam passes into the stack
through the exhaust blast nozzle. The
outcome of the new invention will be
awaited with interest. not only on ac-
count of the extension of use Of the
turbine, but also for the fact that the
modern steam locomotive is an uneco-
nomical piece of machinery, requiring

The Population Of Heaven.

Moncure d. Conway in his reminis-

him by Helen Taylor, the stepdaugh-
ter of John Stuart Mill. While in Scot
land she called on a poor woman who
had lost her little son. The mother
refused to be consoled, saying:
What troubles me is they be all men
folk up there in heaven and won't
know what to do for him."
It appears, therefore, that the New

not be accepted as the discoveries of
