Dinner a In Carte.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale was one Of
the guests at millionaire's dinner.
The millionaire was free spender, but
he wanted full credit for every dollar
put out. And as the dinner progressed.
he told his guests what the more ex-
pensive dishes had cost. "This ter
rapln," he would say, was shipped d.
rect from Baltimore. A Baltimore
cook came on to prepare It The dish
actually cost one dollar teaspoonful."
So he talked Of the fresh peas, the
hot house asparagus, the Covent garden
peaches, and the other courses. He
dwelt especially on the expense of the
large and beautiful grapes, each bunch
foot long, each grape bigger than a
plum. He told down to a penny what
he had figured 1t out that-th grapes
had cost him apiece. The guests look
ed annoyed. They ate the expensive
grapes charity. But DR.. Hale, smiling,
extended his plate and said:
Would you mind cutting me of
about $1.S7 worth. more, please?"

THE REAL LINCOLN.
He Was Neither UngracefuI, N
Awkward, Nor Ugly.

He Was Neither Ungraceful, Nor
Awkward, Nor Ugly.
For many years it has been the
fashion to call Abraham Lincoln home
ly. says writer. He was very tall
and very thin. HIS eyes were deep
sunken, his skin of sallow pallor,
his hair coarse, black and unruly. Yet
he was neither ungraceful, nor awk-
ward, nor ugly. His large features
fired his large frame, and his large
hands and feet were but right on a
body that measured six feet four
inches.
His was a sad and thoughtful face,
and from boyhood he had carried a
load Of care. 1t Is small wonder that
when alone or absorbed in thought the
face should take on deep lines, the
eyes appear as If seeing something be-
yond the vision of other men, and the
shoulders stoop, as though they too
were bearing a weight. But in mo-
ment all would be changed. The deep
eyes could fash, or twinkle merrily
with humor, or look out from under
overhanging brows, as they did upon
the Five Points children, In kindliest
gentleness.
So, too in public speaking. When his
tall body rose to its full height, with
head thrown back and his face trans
figured with the fire and earnestness
of his thought, he would answer D
las in the high, clear tenor that came
to him in the heat Of debate, carrying
his Ideas SO far out over listening
crowds.
1t has been the fashion, too, to say
that he was slovenly and careless in
his dress. This also Is a mistake. His
clothes could not fit smoothly on his
gaunt and bony frame. He was ne
tailor's figure Of a man, but from the
first he clothed himself as well as his
means allowed and in the fashion of
the time and place.
In the same way he cared little for
the pleasures of the table. He ate
most sparingly. He was thankful that
food was good and wholesome and
enough for daily needs, but he could
no more enter into the mood of the
epicure for whose palate 1t is a matter
Of Importance whether he eats roast
goose or golden pheasant than he
could have counted the grains Of sand
under the sea.

MAXWELL GOES TO ATHLETICS Is Drafted by Connie
 Mack. LOCAL TwRLER GOES HIGHER Only Montgomery Player Who Can
 Be Drafted This Season. Philadelphia American League Team wnu Hand over si,eoo for the Pitcher--Has Done Great
 Work Here.

Bert Maxwell will be one of Connie Mack's Athletics next season. .
 The star of the local pitching stan was drafted yesterday by the Phila- delphia American League team, the news coming in a letter to one of the directors of the local association.
 Under the last ruling of the National Commission, this means that Connie Mack will have to plank down $:ooo in one big lump for the player. The old rule was that when big league team drafted a player from one of the minor leagues. they had to pay the sum of s25o at once and the othei s2So
 This gave the big leaguers tho priv ilege of not having to pay the last S250 If they found that the drafted player did not make good by late spring. Trey forfeited the first s25o. however, and the minor league club from whom the player had been draft ed was not only in the $25G but the player reverted to them again.
 Under the new rules. however this is all changed. The drafting price has ben doubled and the $1.0O0 has to be paid in one lump immediately on the drafting of the player.
 Under the old rules several men could be drafted from one minor league club by the big leaguers. The new rules hold that only one player can be draft cd from any one minor league club, so local club who can be drafted.
 At the close of the 1906 season Max well was drafted by the Pittsburg club of the National League, but his arm was not right and on the showing he made un there Fred Clark turned him back to Montgomery.
 He is in splendid condition now, however, and under the management of Connie Mack. who can develop a young ball player better than any liv- ing man in baseball, the chances are that Maxwell will mako good with a rush in the camp of the Athletics.
 He has pitched some brilliant ball for Montgomery during the two years that he has been here. his work dur ing the latter part of the season jus closed being magnificent. He has num- bers of personal friend in Montgomery who wish him all the success in the world.

 ! With the exception of Clayton Perry on third. 1t Is probable that there will Abe an entire new tnfield for the locals next year. Ryan will have one or two men for second base and the same for first base and shortstop, the word hay ing gone out that neither Nye or Bax. fer will be on the local infield next season.
