Pretty Narrow Policy.

On Monday last the Advertising
Committee of the Public Auction and
Traders Exchange sent copy fora dis
play adv, to the newspapers in our
neighb0ring towns with request
that they publish same and send in
bill. To the surprise of the Commit
tee. as well as our business men In
general, the Central Lake Torch sent
the following curt note in reply:
Central Lake. Mich. Oct. %. 1907.
Mr.. 6. A, Lisk.
East Jordan, Mich.
Dear Sir;
In reply to yours Of Oct. 20 would
say that the Torch cannot use the ad en-
closed.
Yours truly,
The Central Lake Pub. Co.
All the other papers used the adv.
sent and gave locals in connection.
The Torch is owned-if not operated
by several Of Central Lakes leading
business men and we are 10th To be-
lieve that the above had their sane
tiOn. A few years ago when our
pejghbOring town had a Street Fair
the East Jordan papers were asked TO
give the matter liberal FREE notices
which was willingly. done. If the
Torch editor thinks for an instant
that he is serving the best interests
OF his town by such actions he IS
greatly mistaken,

EARLY Beds.

The beds Of the ancients were piles
of skins. The first beds resembling
those used In modern times were made
of PUSHES and later Of Jaw. The usc
OF feathers In making beds has been
attributed to the Romans. and Elaga-
balus (Heliogabalus) is said to have
used an air cushion for pillow in 21S.
Air beds were frequently used during
the sixteenth century. Feather beds
were largely used during the reign of
Henry VIII. OF England.

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1907-02-06

In her book "Dixie After the War"
Mrs. Myrta Lockett Avary tells the
following new Lincoln story in con-
nection with General Pickett, who led
the charge at Gettysburg: Mr.. Lincoln
had taken warm interest in young
George Pickett as a cadet at West
Point. During his hurried sojourn in
Richmond Lincoln's carriage and arm
ed retinue drew up in front of the old
Pickett mansion The generals young
wife came out with her baby in her
arms and said, II am General Pickett's
wife"
MADAM" Lincoln answered, II am
Georges old friend, Abraham Lin
coln.'
1.-The president of the United Statesw
she asked
No." said the visitor, with a smile,
"only Abraham Lincoln, Georges old
friend"
The child reached out his hands, and
when Lincoln took him in his arms he
kissed the president.
TELL your father" said Lincoln,
"that will grant him special am
nesty-if he wants it-for the sake or
your mothers bright eyes and your
good manners"

plentifully sprinkled with friends, and
no harm came to him, nor was there
any threat of harm. He was enjoying
his holiday. He talked to many Off
GERS regarding the coming peace and
what should be done for the restora-
tion of the south. His advice was for
liberal terms and kindness to the south
ern people.
The president returned to City Point,
where squad of Confederate prison
ers cheered him. He turned to Ad-
miral Porter and remarked:
They will never shoulder a musket
again in anger, and if Grant is wise
he will leave them their guns to shoot
crows with and their horses to plow
with"
LET them down easy" he had said
to the military governor of Richmond.
Word reached the president at City
Point that his secretary of state, Mr..
Seward, had been thrown from car
riage and injured. This cut short his
vacation, for he returned to Washing
ton at once 1t was observed by mem
bers of his cabinet upon his return that
great change had come over the
president His thin face had grown
thinner during the increasing sorrows
of the war, and latterly it had assum-
ed a gray pallor that was almost
CHASTITY. His eyes looked forth an I'M
utterable grief. He had borne the bur-
dens of a great nation in its time of
keenest agony, and the terrible stress
and strain of those four years were re-
flected in the features of the man.
But now-after his first and only vaca-
tion-what a change! The man walk
ed with a springy step, the stoop disap-
peared from his shoulders, the tense
lines in his drawn, sad face began to
disappear, and there was a hint of
ruddiness in his cheeks and his laugh
was hearty.
Yet it was not the vacation that had
rejuvenated Lincoln. 1t was the very
recent success of his armies, the evacu-
alton of Richmond and, last and great
est, the surrender of Lee on the 9th of
April-these things had transformed
him. For five days he was the happiest
man in the United States or in the
world, the happiest because for four
years he had been the saddest, and
now that indescribable sadness, in the
words of one of his friends, had been
Suddenly changed for an equally ind,
scribaDle expression of serene joy, as
If conscious that the great purpose of
his life had been achieved"
During this time he said to his wife:
"Mary, we have had hard time of
since we came to Washington, but now
we shall have four more years here of
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1907-02-06

did he betake himself to swamp jun
gle or a mountain fastness to shoot
bears or wildcats He took a boat ride.
He went down to City Point, ON the
James river, in Virginia, to see how
General Grants army was getting
along. Grant had his headquarters
there in group of cottages on high
pomattox rivers join. For ten days
the president lived there, greeting his
great generals, chatting with the lesser
officers and visiting the private SOL
diers in their tents. Always for COM
manding general or for the blue blous-
ed man in the ranks he had a word of
cheer and frequently funny little
story that illustrated some wise point
of argument.
1t was an odd sort of vacation. Lin
coin called it his holiday, but as mat
ter of fact he was still at work, doing
his duty by the people, making person
al inspection of the army and offering
in his almost apologetic manner now
and then a suggestion to General
Grant
General Sherman, fresh from his ia
nous march to the sea, visited City
Point to confer with Lincoln and
Grant All knew that the war was
drawing to it's close; that the great
struggle was nearly over; that ultimate
victory lay just beyond. Grant and
Sherman each believed that he must
fight one more terrible battle.
Don't do it if you can help it,"
urged the humane Lincoln. mo more
bloodshed, no more bloodshed," he re-
peatedly said.
All day on the 31st of March, when
Grant was beginning his final move
ment against Lee, Lincoln sat in the
telegraph Office at headquarters for
warding to Mr.. Stanton, secretary of
war, the reports that came in from
Grant, who was here and there and
everywhere up and down his long line
of army maneuvers. Joyous news Lin
coin sent to Washington. One item
was the victory of General Sheridan at
Five Points on the LIST of April. An
other was the evacuation of Peters
burg. The president himself entered
Petersburg but a few hours after the
Confederates moved out for a final talk
with Grant, who was about to move on
from there after the retreating army.
On the I'd of April the joyful news that
Richmond had been evacuated reached
City Point, and Lincoln Immediately
said, 81 want to see Richmond
Two days later he started up the
guard of ten United States marines,
the president of the United States,
landing from his little steamer, walked
into Richmond, the Confederate capt.
tai, which for four years his armies
had been trying to capture. 1t is re-
lated that an old negro threw himself
at the feet of Lincoln, kissing the big
boots which he wore, and cried out:
"Bress de Lawd! Heah am de great
Messiahw
Such crowds gathered about the pres
ident, who was so tall that he could
be seen and recognized even from the
outer edge of the multitude, that the
small guard Of marines had hard
struggle to get him through the throng
to the White House of the Confedera-
cy, the home of Jefferson Davis dur
ing the war. Mr.. Davis Of course had
taken his departure. The Federal
troops made his house their headquar-
ters. For two days Lincoln remained
in Richmond, amid hostile population
