"HOnest Abe"

1t is significant fact that in COM
munity where crime was virtually I'M
known, where plain, straightforward
dealing was assumed as Il matter of
course and credit was fearlessly asked
and given, Lincoln won an enviable
reputation for integrity and honor. In
i moral atmosphere of this sort ordi-
nary veracity and fairness attracted
no particular attention. Honesty was
not merely the best policy; it was the
rule of life, and people were expected
to be upright and just with one an
other, but when a clerk in a country
store walked miles to deliver few
ounces Of tea innocently withheld from
a customer by an error in the scales
and when he made long, hard trip in
order to return few cents accidental
ly overpaid him, he was talked about,
and the fact is that Honest Abe was

WINTER BIRD NEIGHBORS.
Many of These Much Travelled Little
Fellows Are Surprisingly Tame.

1t is surprising that there are birds
which come to us only to spend the
winter, leaving us again at the begin
ming of spring for northern lands and
snow banked hillsides, where the long
day and pale twilight nights of the
arctic reign. Birds that raise their
broods in the far, treeless northland,
where heather, grasses and stunted
alders grow on shallow, soaking soil
underlaid by great depth of eternal
ice, at the approach OF winter gather
into great rowing flocks to surge south
ward to the gentler climate of our biz
zardy temperate" wintersl
Many of these much travelled little
fellows are wonderfully tame and seem
not to experience fear of man so uni
versal with animals that rear their
young in his neighborhood. Pine gros-
beaks and crossbills, whose real homes
are in the silent, moss filled spruce for
ests of the great north, will almost al
low themselves to be caught in your
hand. With the field rowing birds,
like the snow buntings, horned larks
and longspurs, this fearlessness is not
found, probably from the constant look
out they are forced to keep against the
cunning and hungry white foxes and
the daring, trap jawed little ermine
that persistently hunt them in their
northland home, But the rosy little
red polls, the creepers, kinglets, "little
friend chickodee" " oS thp northern In
dians call him, and all the other deep
forest dwellers are rs unafraid of us
as they are of the gentle porcupines
and deer of their home woods.-St.

THE CITY MAN.
His Lot In Lifs Compared With That
of the Farmer.

According to the National Magazine,
'men in the cities work twice as hard
as the farmers, and they get few or no
holidays. Thousands and thousands Of
professional men, clerks and men in
small business enterprises delve and
toll their entire lives away and at the
end are carted out to the cemeteries
without having had any more leisure
or enjoyment in their lives than horse
on n treadmill. The rut they toll along
in is as narrow as case knife" This
is not the farmers view of the city
man, whom he sees only during vaca-
ton, when the city man is taking a
brief and much needed rest The farm
er sees him sporting his "glad rags"
and mistakenly imagines him to be all
the year round only an idle butterfly,
consuming the produce of the horny
handed son of toll. The truth, it is
held, is that the city man, as rule, is
the harder worker and gets much less
enjoyment out of life. He longs for the
rural scenes and occupations of the
farmer; his dearest hope is to get back
to the country to spend his last years.
a few of the city folks make big lot
of money and get their follies and
amusements in the newspapers, but the
great majority of city toilers live n
very monotonous and stupid rs well as
very laborious and poverty stricken
life. The farmer, it is concluded, has
1.-THE real thing" while the city man
has only barren aspirations and disap-
poin.ments. The contented farmer is
not only the wisest but the happiest
Of mankind.-Baltmore Sun.

Arrow Throwing.

An Old English sport that still sur
wives from the days when the bow and
arrow We're in use is that of arrow
throwing, and in parts Of Yorkshire it
is still made one of the features of ath-
letic meets. The arrows are straight
shafts three feet long, without either
barb or feather, and are thrown by the
aid of bit Of string wrapped about
the. thrower's hand and about the butt
OF the arrow. A skillful man can send
the arrow $50 yards, though it requires
some experience to cause the arrow to
leave the string without tangllng. Once
the knacli is acquired the sport is said
TO be more fascinating than putting the
shot or throwing the hammer.

VidOcq's Memory.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
had so excellent memory for names
and faces that after having seen a
criminal once and learned his name he
never forgot him, but would often iden-
tify him under the most subtle dis
guises. A French forger once escaped
from custody, went abroad and remain
ed for eleven years. In the meantime
he became quite bald and lost an eye
and part of his nose in drunken
brawl. Fancying that no one could
detect him, he returned to Paris and
went boldly about the streets; but, be-
ing arrested on suspicion, he was
brought before Vidocq, who at once
recognized him and sent him back to
work out his term.

Parents who have children not old

would have liked to have learned those

so by not knowing about them. We

finally well behind those who had come
to see his head cut off. Before the men
could get the guillotine in working or

that a wag had tied his hands and
robbed him Of his hat, and this simple
individual set him free. A few days
