His Hat His Favorite Receptacle for
Letters and Papers.
From tle Ccntury,


From 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 1t may
readily be imagined that the office of
Stuart &. Lincoln was not model es-
Establishment, where there was Il place
for everything, and everything III it's
place. And 1t was not. Indeed. as !,
managing clerk the Junior partner
would have been hopeless failure, and
as an attorney, IN the technical sense
of the term, he would never have dis
thing connected with the drudgery OF
legal routine hated drawing the dcclar-
ations and pleas, despised the artificial
tiles and refinements which We're even
then beginning to creep into the plead
ings, and disregarded forms whenever
it was possible to do so.
There was nothing mechanical, pre-
else or methodtcal about the man, and
in all those housewifely virtues which
characterized the careful, orderly, ex-
act solicitor he was utterly deficient.
He never knew where his papers We're,
and apparently the only attempt he
ever made to better the disorder was
to write on one of his bundles of papers
which Uttered his desk, when you
can't find II anywhere else, look in
this" But that was long after the firm
of Stuart G. Lincoln has dissolved, and
even then we find him explaining to n
correspondent that he had placed his
letter inside All old hat and had thus
neglected answering it, which shows
he had not wholly outgrown the habit
of his Dostoffice days. Indeed his hat
continued to be his faNorte receptacle
for papers as long as he lived. and he
never acquired any sense of order.

tion'' from Attack of Lsdiea'
Home Journal.
The trial Of the first libel suit grow
ing out Of the attacks on "pntent''
medicines has resulted In verdict for
the plaintiff. The first case to come to
trial was that of the DIR. Pierce COM
pany against the Ladies' Home Journal,
and the jury found the Ladies' Home
Journal guilty Of libel and fixed 5000
as the damages it should pay. A mo-
ton was Immediately made by the DIR.
Pierce company to have this verdict set
aside and the case retred, tue grounds
being that the verdict WAS Insufficient.
This motion Is yet to be argued.
The article on which the suit was
based was printed III the Ladies' Home
Journal, and was to the effect that
the Pierce medicines contained alcohol
digitalis and opium. 1t was show,
! that they contain none OF these drugs
and Mr.. Box admitted, OH the stand

The late Daniel Lamont was Cele-

more people their dearest wishes with
less resulting rancor than any man in
the administration.
II learned the lesson early in life, -
explained Mr.. Lamont. There was a
very poor young man in our town who
fell head over heels in love with a
farmers daughter. He was deadly seri-
Gus about it, and as poor as poor could

SLOW, BUT COMING.

Some ideas are getting little atten-
ton now, and by and by they may
leaven the whole lump. For instance,
|. it is actually believed by some that the
fact that a woman has a baby doesn't
make her an intelligent and competent
mother. 1t is also dimly perceived by
some that a girl who spends her days
and evenings in idleness and fun does
MT always in that way acquire fitness
to be a good wife and mother. Neither
are young men always fit for marriage
because they or their girls are ready
for 1t. The Bishop Of Rlpon, at a pub
lie meeting in London Wednesday, said
he would like to see established a train
ing home for engaged couples. He said
that he regretted that while immense
pains were bestowed upon training for
law and medicine and where great is
sues of the State were involved, there
was no training for those about to un-
dertake far more responsible duties to-
ward human beings. Some kind Of ed
vocational home, where they would learn
how to fulfil their duties seemed to be
necessary, and 1t would be well If there
were also a home of rest for betrothed
couples after an educational course on
the eve of marriage.
OF course such ideas as these wont
get the attention they ought to, but
every little helps, and by and by there
may be intelligent fathers and moth
ers as well as honest ones.

New York drinks great deal of
rum, but she uses some water. In or
der to make sure Of having what wa
ter she wants she has decided to bring
water from the Catskill mountains, and
work will begin at once on the tremen-
dous project to draw 25S 100000 gallons
day from this source. 1t has been es-
timated that the work will cost about
$160, 0O0 900. Eight storage reservoirs
are to be built, and one of the first pro-
ceedings will be to condemn and ac'
quire the land needed for this purpose.
The largest of these will be the Asho-
kan reservoir, which will be in the ESQ
pus district, will cover an area of more
than 10000 acres, and will have a stor-
age capacity of more than 100000 0O, O0O
gallons. Among the villages which will
be wiped out of existence to make room
for the reservoir are Ashton, Brown
Station, Glenford, Olive, Olive Bridge
West Hurley, shokan, West Shokan,
Woodstock, and Stony Creek.

BE1e1Um AND THE ooNao STATE,

BELGIUM and THE CONGO STATE,
Discussing the possibility of the an
nexation of the Congo State by Bel
GUM, correspondent of the London
Times summarizes the existing situa-
ton. He points out that inasmuch as
the French right of presumption exists
in the case of total liquidation" King
Leopolds formal bequest at his death
of the whole territory to Belgium
stands unchallenged. But the strong
Discrimination Of many representatives
in the Chamber to accept the RESPONSE
bility of the bequest led to the passing
in 1901 Of a bill to postpone the deci-
sion-in other words, to secure the
right of refusal by formally renouncing
the principle Of reimbursement of the
various loans made at different times
to the Free State This arrangement,
however, is regarded merely as a safe
guard in the event of the Kings DEATH
Subsequent discussions in the Chamber
and the opinions of those entitled to
speak with authority now indicate that
the balance of opinion is in favor Of
annexation. In notable work on the
Congo, fresh from the pen of DR.. Yer
meerscA, professor of law, the latter
sums up both sides Of the question
and argues for annexation, not only on
patriotic grounds, but for reasons of a
practical order. He also points out that
union need not imply any abrogation
of the Kings present rights nor active
Parliamentary interference, since under
the revision Of the Act OF 1885 Belgian
colonies and protectorates are subject
to special system of government.
Should Belgium decline the royal be-
quest the signatories of the Berlin
Act must settle the question of sue
cesson, but such an eventuality is
thought to be exceedingly unlikely.
