L1NcoLN's PERSONAL PRESENCE.
Of That and His Dress Tradition Has

For many years 1t has been the fashion to
call Mr.. Lincoln homely. He was very tall
and very thin. His eyes were deep sunken,

black and unruly. Yet he was neither un-
graceful nor awkward nor ugly. His large
features fitted his large frame, and his large
hands and feet were but right on a body
that measured 6 feet inches.
His was a sad and thoughtful face. and
from boyhood he had carried a load OF
care. It Is small wonder that when alone
or absorbed in thought the face should
take on deep lines. the eyes appear as II
seeing something beyond the vision of other
men, and the shoulders stoop, as though
they, too. were bearing a weight. But in
moment all would be changed. The deep
eyes would flash. or twinkle merrily with
humor. or look out from under overhang-
ing brows as they did upon the Five Points
children in kindliest gentleness.

CHURCH AccoMPLIcE OF BANDS

SOFIA, August 18.-The anti-Greek move
ment In Roumania, and especially in Bull
garia, Is daily assuming greater proper
tons, and threatens to become serious
danger to peace. The Bulgarian govern
ment, 1t appears. will be forced to take ex-
ceptional measures to terminate the dis
turbances. which are due to the antI-Greek
feeling with which the entire population of
the principalty is imbued.
The cause of this feeling is the historical
competition between Greece and Bulgaria
for domination in the Balkans. which was
recently reawakened and stimulated by
their rivalry in Macedonia-rivalry which,
1t alleged. has been artifcially encouraged
by the Turkish authorities-and particular
ly by the atrocities of the Greek bands.
1t Is asserted that the patriarchal church
at Constantinople has acted as an accom-
plice of these bands. with the object of
forcing the peaceful population of Bull
garia to join the patriarchal church. and
that the propaganda has been carried out
in Bulgaria by the organs Of the patriarchal
church. which openly raised subscriptions
for the benefit of the Greek patriotic So

incident aroused intense public feeling and
resulted in attacks on the Greek church.

by scenes Of disorder in every district pos

The trouble at Anchfalos arose from a

POINTS ABOUT "ToTE."
Though Scholars Have Argued, Its
Origin Remains Mystery.


From the Boston Transcript.
AS for not less than century and CEN
fury and quarter the word tote" has peen
the subject of controversy, perhaps you Will
permit me to state a few facts not generally
known. In 1871 the Rev. John Witherspoon
commented on It's use in the south. In 1909
the editors of Boston magazine stated
their belief that cit Is a. native vulgarfsm
OF Massachusetts," In 1915 Noah Webster
said he believed the word was peculiar
to the states where slavery prevails, and 1t
is probably an African word" This 10 the
first suggestion. so far as know. OF its
negro origin. But Webster was in error in
thinking that the word Is or was peculiar
to the slave states. When that extreme
Iy unpopular governor Of Massachusetts,. Sir
Francis Bernard. left Boston to return to
England in 1853. 1t was stated In Bos-
ton newspaper that .'the Baronet sneaked
down to Castle william. where he lay that
night and the next Morning he toated on
board the Rippon, in a Canoe. or Tomcod
Catcher, or some other small Boat"
As long ago as 1857 Thoreau spoke Of q
"tote road in Maine. and In 1876 it occur
red to Whittier that the Emperor Dom
Pedro Of Brazil would like being guest
of the Atlantic Club s'better than being
toted about. looking at Boston public build
ings.''
Here, then. is proof that for 137 years the
word has been used in New England in
meaning different from that which CasweH
A. Mayo regards as its only possible mean
ing. Where literary usages are concerned
1t Is well not to be too dogmatic Still, the
word was used in the south nearly CEN

Treatment Of New York's Horses.
From the New York Times.


1t seems to US that there is a good deal
OF exaggeration In some OF the letters re-
Gently received by us concerning the treat
ment of horses in this city. OF course,
among the vast army of these animals that
work for living here cases of cruel misuse
are not infrequent and we are not inclined
to deny that the brutality Of some Of the
drivers too often goes without punishment
but those who assert that horses, as
rule, or as anything like rule. are treated
worse in New York than anywhere else
In the world speak without knowledge Of
what goes on in other countries, and do
not use their eyes as they go about. It
Is possible to traverse a good many New
York streets for a good many days with
out seeing a single horse showing any
very obvious evidences Of systematic mall
treatment, and the vast majority Of those
used either for business or pleasure prove
by their condition that they are well fed
and no: overworked. Nothing could be
further from our intention than tC excuse
the drivers who commit. or the owners
who permit. the abuse Of horses. but We
do not see either utility or sense in ac-
cusations that go far beyond the truth
and are calculated to give the city bad
name. which 1t does not deserve. We all
know that in the past the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals has used
inefilcfently the enormous powers 1t pos
sessed. but we can all hope that it will do
better under its new management, and
1t would be well for these vehement COM
plainants to remember that they are them
selves under some obligation to give practi-
cal help In preventing or furnishing the
wrongs that properly msve them to indig-
nation. By taking little trouble they
can provide the evidence necessary for
conviction. The law is on thetr side, the
police are generally well-disposed and the
public will back them up in energetic meas
ures Meanwhile. presumably the reorgan-
lied society Is doing what 1t can with the
means at its disposal: II 1t Is not, there Ia
evident need Of another reorganization.
and that. too. can be brought about in the
same way-by taking little trouble and
using q little time. But before again de-
claring that the New York horse has the
saddeat fate of any in the world our indig.
nant correspondents should make q trip
through the far east, or even make a lit
tie journey through Italy or Spain.
