NEW SIDE OF LINCOLN.
His Constant Interest In the Mill
tary Telegraph System.

AtAC8haRH
Abraham Lincoln has been studied
from almost every point of view, but
it is a notable fact that none of his
blographers has ever seriously consid-
cred that branch of the service with
which Lincoln was in daily personal
touch for four years-the military tele-
graph; for, during the civil war, the
President spent more of his waking
hours in the war department telegraph
office than in any other place except
the White House, says the Century.
While in the telegraph Office he was
comparatively free from official cares
and therefore more inclined to dis
close his natural traits and disposition.
During the last four years of Lin
coins all too brief public career, even
until the day before his tragic ending,
the writer was most fortunate in be-
ing able to see him and talk with him
daily, and usually several times a day |;
for he visited the war department tele-
graph Office regularly, morning, after
noon and evening, to receive the latest
news from the front. His tail, homely
form could be seen crossing the we'll
shaded lawn between the White House
and the war department with UNMARRIED
regularity.
In cool weather he invariably wore
a gray plaid shawl thrown over his
shoulders in careless fashion, and,
upon entering the telegraph Office, be
would always hang this shawl over the
top of the high screen door opening
into Secretary Stanton's room, adjoin-
ing This door was nearly always
open. He seldom failed to come over
late in the evening before retiring, and
when returning to the White House
after dark he was frequently accom-
panied by Major Eckert. our chief, and
nearly always by small guard of SOL
diers. He sometimes protested against
this latter precaution as unnecessary,

Have you heard him laugh and

And this you say had no supreme signi6-

When you saw his blue eyes looking, star

When you watched his face illumined
with a rapt, angelic smile,
When he babbled till he seemed to be with
something overcome,
Did it strike you it was only at the move
ment of his thumb?
"Yah-yah; mah-mum,"-
Did you think him lost in wonder at TIL
marvel of his thumb?
Perhaps dada" means dear father"
and ''good-goo' means II will"
And "mum-mah'' is for mother, DEAR"
or maybe peace. he still ~
There are beatific visions in those baby

And it's what he still remembers that he

1t was not thinking about greatness

Congress came to choose the new flag
June IA, 17T7, and this is why the Flag
Day Association, a national organiza-
ton, Is making greater efforts every
year to have this day celebrated as one
OF the great days in our history.
No one knows the exact origin of the
design of Old Glory. At Cambridge,
Mass, early in January, President
George Washington had already dis
played flag consisting of thirteen
stripes of red and white, with the
English union jack in the place of the
field Of stars. Most authorities con.
sidered that the designs as adopted by
Congress was influenced by the coat of
arms of the Washington family, which
contained both the stars aud the
stripes. You can still read the Con
greSsional resolution: "That the flag
of the thirteen United States be stripes.
alternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation"
Every school child knows how histCty
added to the design, how it was first
intended to add new star and a new
stripe as we'll for each state admitted.
and how Congress later restored the
original thirteen stripes, adding only
another star for every state.
What does the flag mean to you? 1t
is the most beautiful flag on earth. We
all know that But do you remem ler
how it stands for so many great things?

SLEEP THE BEST PHYsIc.
Most Victims of Nervous Breakdown
Need ONLY Rest


Need Only Rest.
One of the features of modern
times is the prevalence of what we
term neurasthenia, or nervous break
down. These names apply to a con-
dition of physical and mental i'll
health which is the direct result of
the age in which we live and the
pace at which we are living. Mas
sage and electricity and novel treat
ments" and cures are called upon
to repair what we have brought upon
ourselves by our up-to-date ways of
life. by worry and excitement.
There are hundreds of women of
the upper and middle classes Just
now bewailing their nerves" and cry
ing out that headaches and insomnia
and depression are spelling their
lives. This is a neurotic age and
half the world of men and women not
only burn the candle at both ends,
but in the middle as well. The siren
uous life is almost necessity to
the man or woman who is ambitious
socially, politically or commercially.
We are so anxious to "get on" we at
tempt to do far more than we are
constitutionally fit for, and nervous
breakdown is the inevitable result.
Lack of repose is a prime factor
in the causation of nerves." the con-
slant rush in the social and business
world. the frantic pursuit of pleasure
and amusements are frequent pre-
cursors of nervous ill-health. We
recklessly expend our energy on
trifes; we are constantly UP and do
ing; we have no time to rest and
nobody listens to the advocates and
disciples of the simpler life
Home life, quiet domesticity are
becoming rarer every year. Simple
pleasures" 'fhomely joys and the
family circle" are ridiculously old
fashioned terms. Is it any wonder
that nervous breakdown and prema-
ture decay are on the increase?
The remedy lies mainly with us
women-our influence can do great
deal, our example more, to counterfeit
the restlessness and excitement char
acteristic of this age.
We must preach the gospel Of rest.
Hard work nowadays means severe
nervous strain, and the constant APP
plication to business and professional
affairs demands regular periods of
quiet and complete rest, if the work
ers are to retain their health. 1t is
the more important that the home
atmosphere be such as will restore
the balance and lessen the tension of
the inevitable nerve strain outside.
Unquietness in the home, the
tyranny of social engagements and
worldly duties" following upon
strenuous working day, gives no OPP
portunity for repose. The power to
be quiet, the virtue of repose, is
worth cultivating in this age of neu-
rotic women; the woman who is con-
stantly on the move, striving after
something just out OF her reach, diff
fuses an atmosphere of disquiet and
vulgar unrest around her. To be
busy does not necessarily mean to
achieve; busting activity is too Of

GLOVES OF wHALEHIDE.
Attempt to Find Profitable Use for
Wasted Product

Newfoundland whalers, seized with
a spirit of enterprising economy, are
reported to be attempting to place
while hide on the market for the
manufacture Of whale leather.
1t is not surprising that such an
attempt should be made. 1t must vex
the spirit of any whaler of well bal
anced mind to see, after all the hard
ship and danger of his calling, an
enormous and altogether dispropor-
tionate bulk of his quarry cast away.
From a large right whale of, say
As to SO feet in length, about ESQ
barrels of oil and one and three-quar
ter tons of baleen, or whalebone, may
be obtained The remainder of the
gigantic carcass, which may be as
much as fifty tons, has hitherto been
considered useless.
The average whale hide if laid out
on the ground would cover a surface
rate one whale if its hide could be
made into boots and shoes would well
stock a West End boot shop
1t is also hoped that the intestines
of the whale will be made remunera-
tive. This product is described as
very thin and tough and suitable for
glove manufacturers.
Regarding the use of whale for
glove making, a Leicester square firm
gave their opinion that the only salts
factory skin yet found for fine gloves
is goatskin.
1T is not unlikely, however" they
said, that whale intestine could be
manufactured into good motoring and
driving gloves, for which reindeer
at present holds the field against all
other skins.
AT various times many skins have
been tried, such as the skins of croc-
odiles, cats, pigs, calves, lambs and
even rats. Many of the mems cheap
dress gloves on the market are made
in Naples of the skins of the local
sewer rats. But practically all the
skins mentioned have been found
treacherous. Glove skins must not
only be pliable, but also perfectly
tough and firm, since they have to be
sewn up right at the edge If whale
intestine be found to possess these
three qualities no doubt there would
quickly be market for whale gloves"
