Draft animals are a gift of the

WHY LINCOLN WAS POPULAR.
Qualities Which Made Him Beloved
All His Life Appeared in Youth.

Qualities Which Made Him Beloved
All His Life Appeared in Youth.
Perhaps Lincoln's most winning
quality with young and old alike was
his sincere belief in his fellow towns
men and their community. Local pride
never had a more buOyant champion
than he. For him Sangamon County in
general, and New Salem in particular,
was the promised land, and he was
confident that the people were equal to
the task Of developing it according to
it's needs. Thus when it was first sug-
gested that the shallow, snag-bound
Sangamon River was navigable and
might be made a great highway Of
commerce, he eagerly championed the
theory and worked with voice, pen and
hand to realize a practical result The
Sangamon is still unnavigable and New
Salem has disappeared, but Lincoln's
plea for improving the waterway re
mains as evidence of his sincere belief
in the future of the community and to
show us what he could do with a weak
cause at the age of twenty-one.
The argument IS not remarkable but
it is exceedingly interesting and sug-
gestive. Although he was young and
boyishly enthusiastic, Lincoln did not
Overstate the possibilities nor underes-
innate the difficulties Of his case; and
despite the really laughable attempt
which was afterWard made to force the
passage of the Sangamon, there was
nothing ludicrous in his plea. What he
claimed sounds reasonable, and what
he hoped for possible even in the face
Of failure
This early effort plainly indicates
Lincoln's natural aptitude for logical
statement But it does more than that.
1t displays a trait which few lawyers
possess; for the ability to present facts
clearly, concisely and effectively with
out taking undue advantage of them is
a rare legal quality. It requires not
only ability, but courage; not only tact,
but character. 1t is one of the infalli-
BILE tests which distinguish the legal
bravo from the jurist, and it will be
demonstrated in a future chapter that
Lincoln fulfilled it in masterful fash
ion.-Century.

Throat with Razor.
John Sincel, aged 50 years, a we'll
known farmer of the town of Menomonee,
committed suicide By cutting his throat
with a razor. Sincel left the house dur
ing the morning and as he failed to come
to dinner members of the family went in
search of him. His dead body was found
lying in a pool Of blood in the COW stable
and a razor nearby. Sincel had complete
ly severed his windpipe. He used such
force in welding the razor that the han
die was broken. According to members
of the family, Sincel had worried over a
ditch, which the town Of Menomonee dug
near his farm about two years ago, for
the purpose of draining marsh. He i'm
agined that the ditch would overflow and
flood his farm. Constant worry over the
same is thought to have unbalanced his
mind. He leaves a wife and nine chill
