II II N OIL nj
THE X NAN x OF Y PEACE
by GENERAL HORACE PORTER

Abraham Lincoln was of humble
birth; he early had to struggle with
the trials of misfortune and to learn
the first lessons of life in the severe
school of adversely. He came from
that class which ne always alluded
to as the plain people. He always
possessed their confidence, he never
lost his hold on their affections. He
believed that the Government was
made for the people, and not the peo-
pie for the Government, and that true
Repsiblicanism was like o. torch--the
more II Is shaken in the hands Of the
people the brighter IL burns.
If at the height of his power any
one had sneered at him on account
OF his humble origin, he might we'll
have replied, like the Marshal of
France, who was raised from the
ranks to dukedom, when he told
the naughty mobiles of Vienna who
boasted of their long lines of descent
and refused to associate with him:
II am an ancestor; you are only de-
scendants."
Abraham Lincoln possessed in O. re-
markable degree that most uncom-
mon of all virtues, common sense.
With him there was no practising
the arts Of the demogague. no posing
for effect, no attitudinizing in public,
no mawkich sentimentality.. There

thirst joints running full blast
what could the traveller do but
enter and indulge. And indeed he
did indulge for seyera days, in fact
until he acquired the faculty of
seeing things that others were un-
able TO perceive by night or day.
The things he saw were wonderful.

was none OF the dogmatism that DR..
johnson said was only puppyism
grown to maturity.
While his mind was one great
storehouse of facts and useful in
formation, he laid no claim to any
knowledge he did not possess. He
believed with Addison that pedantry
in learning is like hypocrisy in re-
ligion, form of knowledge without
the power of It.
While he was singularly adroit
andpatient in smoothing down the
ruffled feathers of riends who did not
understand him, or even of political
opponents he wasted no time upon
the absolute recalcitrants. He never
attempted to massage the back of a
political porcupine. And, as he once
said, himself, he always found it
was losing game to try to shovel
fieas across barnyard.
There are two names of Presidents
that will always be inseparably asso-
ciated in our minds--Washingto and
Lincoln. But from the manner in
which modern historians magnify
trivial acts, you would suppose one
had spent his entire life in cutting
down trees and the other in splitting
them up into, rails. There was one
marked diff renee between them
Washington could not tell story:
Lincoln always could.
But he told them not for the anec-
dote. but to clinch fact, to point
a moral.

was his safety valve. 1t lightened

Find Check In Church.

Just after the pastor finished the
dedicatory prayer one OF the ushers
spoke quietly to him. The preacher
then announced that check had been
found and could be recovered by the
owner at the close of the service. The
congregation stared, wondering who
had feen fortunate enough to drop the
check, as the majority were plain work
ing people. Their anxiety was soon
relieved by further announcement
from the pulpit;

Something New in coas. Defense.

The war department has determined
upon plans for the building Of an arti
ficial island at the entrance to Chesa.
peake bay. This island will be built
up from d submerged ledge and will
be made sufficiently large to contain,
besides a battery to command the ap.
proach to the bays entrance, quarters
and barracks for men and parade
ground for drill, together with suitable
storehouses for provisions and ammu'
milton which would be required for a
protracted period. A part of the pro-
gramme is the construction of an arti'
ficial harbor to accommodate the sup.
ply of boats and submarines, the latter
to form an adjunct of the coast de-
fense system. -Harper's Weekly.
