WELL WORTHY or OBSERVANCE.

Ninety-seven years ago today in n
humble Hardin county. Kentucky,
home, was born the great emancipa-
tOr"-Abraham Lincoln
Called upon to assume the reins of
national government at time when
threats OF civil war were rife and
treason and sedition stalked wellnigh
unreproved through the halls of the
nations capitol; when the great ma
jority Of the countrys most famous
sons had decreed for the dismember-
ment of the union and the brainiest
and best of those who remained loyal
y to the old flag viewed with fear and
trembling the approach of the lower
ing war-cloud; when the bonds that
had bound the sisterhood of states for
near lOuE SCOIc years wei lISGu Ill
a day like ropes of sand-it was at
this time that the God of Nations gave
to the loyal North this peerless leader,
a statesman wise and just. who for
four long and lurid years directed the
destinies of the Republic, preserving
the nation in its entirety and recalling
the dove Of peace to war-stricken
and biood-drenched land.
Assaulted by open foes from without
and beset by secret plotters from
within; his ablest councillors, borne
down by the repeated reverses of the
union arms sickened and despaired.
and advised compromise even to the
extent of allowing the erring sister
states to go, but ever buoyed up by his
high and noble purpose and sustained
by the conviction that the God of Jus
tice was ever on his side, he never
faltered and he never swerved until
his mighty work had been fully accom-
plished.
1t has been truly said that in the
palace of American genius there are
many knights and mobiles, but the
prince of the purple chamber was the
poor railsplitter of lowly origin.
In all the days set apart by the
grateful and appreciative people of all
lands commemorative OF the worth and
work of their gallant sons none are
more worthy of sincere and faithful
observance than is that of the natal
day of the God-like Lincoln.

Pauline Hall.

The announcement of the appear
ance in this city ON Thursday, Feb. Is
of the Pauline Hall Opera company
in "Dorcas, by Harry and Edward
Paulton, authors of "Erminie," is made
doubly interesting by his positive as
sertion that 1t will be presented by
the original New York cast, headed
by the queen of Americas comic opera
stars, Pauline Hall, herself. On more
than one occasion in the past local
theatre goers have had to content
themselves with mediocre interpreta-
tons of some of the big New York
successes by reason Of the fact that
the presenting companies had been
organized along economical lines for
the express purpose of playing only
the smaller towns and cities. Man.
ayers Nelson Roberts and Frank B.
Arnold, under whose direction Miss
Halls present triumphal tour is being
made, have not proven themselves
penny wise and pound foolish in this
respect. They have contracted to pre-
sent Miss Hall in "Dorcas" on tour
with the same magnificent company
that made her latest New York sue
cess such notable one. The entire
New York production, with it's wealth
of scenic investiture, beautiful cos
tunes, novel light effects and the hun
dred and one other accessories, are
employed in Miss Halls present. tour
Always loyal to the public, Miss Hall
has found the public loyal to her.
Everywhere she has been greeted by
large and enthusiastic audiences. With
her only rival for queenly honors,
Lillian Russell, now on the vaudeville
stage Miss Hall now has the comic
opera field practically to herself. True
we have Schuman Heinck, FRITZ
Scheff and one or two others, but not
being natives, it is not in the least
unfair to record that none of them
can quite fill the niche in the hearts
of the American public held by the
former star Of "Erminie."
In "Dorcas" Miss Hall has secured
the biggest comic opera success of the
last decade and is particularly FORUM
ate in having in it a stellar role which
gives the fullest scopes to her magni-
ficent voices and her great powers as
an actor. Prominent in her support
are Josephine KNAPP, Jennie Wealth
ersby, May Bouton, Ethel Comstock,
Mamie Scott, Ianthe Willis, Jenny
Bartlett, Godfrey Stein, Charles Full
ton, John E. Young, Lyman White,
Robert Burton. George Hall, j. P.
Donnelly and others. Those who keep
posted on matters musical will recog-
nize in this galaxy of names the very
cream of comic opera talent.

How They Were Divided.

A day or two before the recent gub-
ernational election in Ohio, a number
of politicians in Washington were dis
cussing the probable results, when
some one asked Representative John
Sharp Williams. leader of the minority
in the house, how the situation APP
peared to him.
Well" said Williams, with smile.
ut seems to me that there is the usual
diyision:-those pledged to the Her
rick faction, those pledged to the adj
ministration's choice. those pledged to
the democracy, and those pledged to
all three"

Present indications point TO a rabbit
famine IN Washington.
Owing 70 the unusually warm weather
for the last week. more than 5000 Of these
animals, together with 200 birds Of all
kinds. have spoiled and have been con-
demned by the health authorities
The inspectors have treated the sus-
pected rabbits and birds TO liberal doses
Of kerosene.
The star boarder. therefore. who is not
accustomed TO coal oil dressing with his
rabbit should not lay the blame 10 the
landlady, but to the health authorities
High game is appreciated by many
epiCureS OF international fame and the
dealer probably sized the landlady up as
a cOnnoisseUr.
According TO Or. Woodward most Of
the rabbits that have been condemned
We're shipped TO the local markets from
Tennessee. Their condition was called 10
his attention by an official Of a local ex-
press company. who said he had several
crates he judged unfit for consumption
Two inspectors were dispatched to the
scene, and the remainder Of the day
was spent in placing their stamp Of dis
approval on the game. One Of the in
spcctors discovered "a note tied about the
legs of a rabbit evidently written by a
small boy just large enough to shoulder a
gun. II read: Mister, Civ me the money
for them by return mail / need it.

Il reckon the little fellow will be dis
appointed, said the Inspector, as every
one OF his stock was condemned
The following condemnations have been
made: 1924 rabbits, 342 chickens, ,452 game
