been a current one during the last few
months. II was first said that his holi-

between the quirinal and the vatican

That the pope would soon be seen in

belief. and everybody felt sure that

one day be seen driving around the
Corso in open carriage with the grand

nouncement was enough TO create n
sensation, and the Italian imaginations
soon set to work.

Abraham Lincoln.


Ninety-seven years ago last
Monday was born the man who
holds place second only to
Washington in the affections OF
Americans. BY some he is even
regarded as our most beloved
President. No doubt the lack Of
early educational advantages
couples with his sterling worth
in exciting admiration for his
life, for in overcoming difficulties
he displayed his strength Of
character. His was certainly a
great soul, full OF justice, love,
and integrity. Whether a farm
boy, lawyer, or president, hon
esty and wisdom characterized
his life.
He was a man of iron will as
shown by the persistence with
which he resisted the attempt
to separate the Union. A man
less courageous would have
given up in despair in the dark
hours of that great civil strife
which finally saved our nation
and liberated race from the
bonds Of slavery.
To know the life Of Lincoln is
to know qualities OF mind and
heart that make for good citizen
ship. Fer this reason it should
be made familiar to all young
people.

TUNNEL COST

THAN THOUGHT

The cost OF the proposed railroad tun-

TO City Engineer Otis Clapp. be much
more than has been expected: and the
city council and citizens may be greatly
surprised when they hear the estimate
OF cost
Mr.. Clapp refuses 10 give out any esti-
mate yet. as he has not arrived at any
thing definite enough: but he saws that
the cost Will be much more than the
Francis tunnel plan, as the new one is
much more ella borate.
The city engineering department is now
hard at work on the plans. and will prob
ably complete them in January. They
are based on the Francis PLAN but many
improvements over II are being put in
the new one. .Ittf 3fst
1T Is far the greatest project the city
has ever undertaken said Mr.. Clapp to-
day, 'and is also the costliest. The work
on the plan is very difficult and requires
much time; but we are now making rapid
headway.F
Mr.. Clapp thinks that his plan will be
satisfactory TO the city council commit
tee: and that the committee will recon-
mend tunnel 20 the city council is al
most the unanimous opinion, though the
question OF final ownership Is not set
tied.
