books and papers without limit. Press
associations have done their part to-
ward giving uniform and fairly good
tone to the newspaper language of the
day. The telegraph, the telephone and
cheap postage have brought distant
parts Of the country into quick and
easy communication, and so have aid

The railroad has penetrated every cor

ties thus are thrown daily across the
land in every direction, carrying with
them the threads Of thought and speech
and doing their part to make one pat

LINcoLN's CARELESsNEsS.


HE HAT His FavOFf4e Receptacle For
Letters and Papers.
When Lincoln was postmaster Of
New Salem he used to tuck the letters
inside his hat and deliver them when
ever he happened to meet the persons
to whom they were addressed. As this
is fair example of his business sys-
tenn, it may readily be imagined that
the office Of Stuart & Lincoln was not
a model establishment, where there
. was place fer everything and every
thing in its place. And it was not. In
deed, az a managing clerk the junior
partner would have been a hopeless
failure, and as an attorney, in the
technical sense of the term, he would
never have distinguished himself He
diSliked everything connected with the
drudgery OF legal routine. hated draw
ing the declarations and pleas, despis-
ed the Rrtifcialities and refnements
which were even then beginning to
creep into the pleadings and disregard
ed forms whenever it was possible to
do so.
else or methodical 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 it 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 a
correspondent that he had placed his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering it. which shows he
had not wholly outgrown TIE habit Of
his postoffice days. Indeed. his hat con
tinued to be his favorite receptacle for
papers as long as he lived. and he
never acquired any sense Of order
