A NEW SIDE OF LINCOLN.
For Four Years Many of His Wax
ing Hours Passed in the War
Telegraph Office.

| (From David Homer Bates Lincoln
in the Telegraph Office" in the
May Century,
Abraham Lincoln has been studied
from almost every point of view
but It is a notable fact that none of
his biographers has ever seriously
considered that branch of the service
with which Lincoln was in daily
personal touch for four years--the
military telegraph; for during the
civil war, the President spent more
of HIS waking hours in the war de-
partment telegraph Office than In any
other place except the White House.
While in the telegraph Office he was
comparatively free from official
cares, and therefore more inclined
to disclose his natural traits and dis
position.
During the last four years of Lin

until the day before his tragic
ending. the write; was most fortu-
nate in being able to see him daily,
and usually several times a day; for
he visited the war department tele-
graph Office regularly, morning, af-
ternoon and evening, to receive the
latest news from the front. His tall,
homely form could be seen crossing
the well-shaded lawn between the
White House and the war depart
ment with UNMARRIED regularity.
In cool weather he invariably wore
gray plaid shawl thrown over HIS
shoulders in careless fashion. and,
upon entering the telegraph office,
he would always hang this shawl
over the top OF the high screen door
opening into Secretary Stanton's
room adjoining. This door was
nearly always open. He seldom
failed TO come over late in the ev-
ening before retiring, and when re-
turning to the White House fire.
duently accompanied by Major Eek
hart, our chief, and nearly always
by n small guard OF soldiers. He
sometimes protested against this
latter precaution as unnecessary, but
Secretary Stanton's orders to the
guard were imperative.

What to Do After Eatino.

Should one lie down after meals
and. If so, should one sleep? DIR,
Schulz. an assistant of Baumler at
Freiberg, has analyzed the contents
CT the stomachs of two normal sub
Jects removed several hours after arr
Identical test meal of bread and dis,
titled water, followed in one instance
by sleep, in the other by simple rest in
horizontal position, says the Lon
don Post. Schulz shows that sleep
during digestion always results in
weakening the motility of the stom-
ach and increasing the acidity of the
gastric juice, fact attributed by him
to the irritation caused by the chyme's
remaining adbnormally long in the
stomach. He has also remarked that
simple repose in horizontal position,
not accompanied by sleep, stimulates
the gastric function without increas-
ing the acidity.

The Hope, Memory
and Reality of Easter
BY Rev. Albert Parker Fitch.

tOt the Congregational Church)
- HE Resurrection, which we cele.
III brate on Easter day. means one
of two things to most people. 1t
Is either a memory or a hope. TO the
young into whose souls the wise years
have not ground their experience of
pain, their proof of the ntter unrea-
sonableness and malignant cruelty OF
life, if this life here were all. to them
Easter is far-off fading memory
which has no especial significance for
to-day. Jesus resurrection is an in
dnitely remote event, a magical won
der. 1t occurred under other skies.
in a distant land amid wornout
and forgotten civilization. To be sure
there is historical evidence for 1t, but
they accept it, If they accept it at all,
with about as much vividness of per-
ception as they accept the death of
Alexander or the assassination of
Julius Caesar.
Then, to older men and women. the
resurrection is not so much a memory
as a hope. 1t is hope born of a
desperate necessity. We remember
little children who sleep in tiny
graves to-day and our hearts demand
that they be Easter graves. We re-
member great souls. passed on now.

to whom we gave our worship in our
youth. We have lived beside them
and seen their deathless effort, their
far-reaching aspiration their virtue,
strength. wisdom, power. light-all
the persistent heroism of the soul
And then, when the highest station
had been reached, when the noblest
song was quivering at last upon their
triumphant lips, we've seen it all end
Virtue, strength. wisdom, power
light. all vanished! Nothing left but
dust to dust, ashes to ashes, rotten
ness TO mother earth. And, seeing all
this, the resurrection is not a fading
memory TO such souls, o, no, it
stands for a desperate hope. There
must be something beyond Some
where, sometime these shall live
again.
But to the Christian, to that happy
man whom Jesus has found, the resur-
rection is not a memory and not a
hope; he forgets both of these in his
joy in its present. reality. The Easter
assurance of Immortality is not far
off promise, it is a present gift: not
future hope, but an immediate pos
session. For God has come into him
and taken possession of him, and he
is living for the things of God in the
eternal light and power of God, and
he is already one of the immortals.
