His Hat His Favorite Receptacle for
Letters and Papers.

Frederick Trevor Hill in the Century.
When Lincoln was postmaster OF New
Salem he used to tuck the letters inside
his hat and deliver them whenever he
happened to meet the persons to whom
they were addressed. AS this IS a fair
example Of his business system, it may
readily be imagined that the office OF
Stuart & Lincoln was not a model estapS
lishment, where there was place for
everything and everything in its place.
And it was not. Indeed, as managing
clerk the Junior partner would have
been helpless failure, and as an attor-
new, in the technical sense of the term,
he would never have distinguished him-
self. He disliked everything connect
erd with the drudgery Of legal routine,
hated drawing the declarations and
pleas, despised the artifcialties and re-
fnements which were even then begin,
disregarded forms whenever it was pos
sible to do so.
There was nothing mechanical pre-
else or methodical about the man and in
all those housewifely virtues which
characterized the careful, orderly, exact
solicitor he was utterly deficient. He
never knew where his papers were, and
made to better the disorder was to

can't find 1t anywhere else, look in
this But that was long after the
firm of Stuart & Lincoln had dissolved,
and even then. we find him explaining to
% correspondent: that he had placed his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
| neglected answering it, which shows he
had not wholly outgrown the habit of
his postoffice days. Indeed, his hat
. continued. to- be his favorites receptacle
for papers as long as he lived, and he
never acquired any sense Of order.

LYNCH TALKS TO TYPOS
Head Of International Thinks Striking
: Job Prints Will Win.

81 James M. Lynch, president Of the In
ternational Typographical union, was a
twin city visitor last week. His pres
sence here was for the purpose of look
ing over the field in person and doing
anything he might be able to in the
way Of aiding the prosecution of the
teight-hour fight. Mr.. Lynch spoke en-
couragngly Of the outlook for success
isfor the workmen. r.. ri
An open meeting was held in st.
Paul last Sunday afternoon, at which
Mr.. Lynch made the principal address.
An orchestra was in attendance and a
large delegation Of Minneapolis printers
! was present. Members Of the Ladies
Auxiliary were also there in large num-
bers, and the event was made both in
reteresting and enjoyable.
- Monday evening Mr.. Lynch was the
guest Of the Minneapolis union and
j spoke before a large gathering Of union
printers at Holcomb 8 hall. He re-
viewed the progress Of the eight-hour
Controversy and produced some start
ling figures to bear out his statement
that the Typographical union was slow
lily but surely gaining it's object, the
eight hour day.
He said that the total membership
of the international organization was
48,500, and that upwards Of $4,000 had
ALREADY secured the shorter workday.
IS Touching upon the financial condition
Hsof the union, Mr.. Lynch told his hearers
that when the fight commenced last
september the organization had on hand
fSabout SIC, 900, and that upwards of that
L sum named was now in the treasury, all
obligations had been met, and that the
Z officers were prepared to carry nsthe
4 warfare indefinitely. He estimated that
!, something less than 5000 men were
drawing strike benefits.
Sc Z Mr.. Lynch left Minneapolis Monday
evening on his way to Des Moines, from
4 which place he went to Omaha and Kan
sas City. He will return to Indianapo
7hlis this week.

WANTS JOBS TO SAVE
BOYS FROM PRISONS.
H. B. CHAMBERLAIN SUGGESTS
SOLUTION OF VITAL PROBLEM.
Juvenile Court Attorney Declares Work
Must Be Found for Hundreds Of Boys
Now on Probation to Keep Them
From Becoming Criminals Appeals
to Business Men.

How to find employment for boys
who, without work, may become con-
firmed criminals is one Of the hardest
problems that at present confronts the
probation officers Of Hennepin county.
It is a problem that they are trying
earnestly to solve, and one in the solu-
tion Of which they are now seeking the
aid of local manufacturers and man
ayers Of large business concerns. With
the hearty cooperation of these it seems
that great good can be accomplished.
There are now between $50 and 800
boys under II years of age on proba,
ton, who report regularly to the pro-
baton officers. Of this number about
one-third, or nearly 100 boys, are
obliged to work, and are either old
enough to escape the school regulations
Or are working under permits from the
proper officials. It is necessary for
them to work not only to secure proper
support, but in order to keep them out
! Of trouble and away from the associa.
tions that have brought them under the
eye of the authorities.
! Unfortunately large number Of
these boys lack initiative and are I'M
able to go out and find employment for
! themselves. Working, they are prof.
cie4t, quiet and peaceful citizens; with
/ out work they are apt to become un-
manageable. To find employment for
them is the problem that the probations
