STORIES oE LINCOLN.


nae AtEntr on III Character OF tEe
Martyr President.
II have rend several Lincoln ami.
versary speeches" said sfr. Charles
Frederick. and have been struck with
the statement contained In some Of
them TO the eject that sfr. Lincoln sci,
dom got mad and that when he aid re,
mad he did not allow himself to &c,
very mad. II these speakers spoke
from their personal experience. II Is all
right, but my personal experience with
him n night satisfied me he could get
up a terribly good sized case Of mad
at times,
Il was a boy at the time and was a
messenger for the old American Teie.
graph company. which In after years
was absorbed by the present western
Union Telegraph. For several days
there had been a number OF kilograms
for the president from army officers.
and among them I remember two or
three from General Mcclellan. ] don't
remember now why they did not come
over the military telegraph lines. Well,
one night I started over to the White
House with a telegram that I knew
came from General Mcclellan. 1t was
for the president.
"1n those days there was always a
guard OF soldiers stationed at the two
avenue gates. as also at the other
gates, but messenger boys were gener-
ally well known. and they were admit
ted day or night without any question.
at least to the front door, where an
other soldier guard was also stationed.
There was always an officer about the
door who recelpted for kilograms.
This night, however, I saw Mr.. Lin.
coin coming toward the outer gate, and
I thought I would personally hand him
the telegram, which I did. He smiled
pleasantly enough as he opened II, but
"a change suddenly came over him.
Have you the other telegrams?' he
demanded OF me, I replied that I had
but the one, though / informed him
that I knew there had been one or two
others that day from General McCIeI-
Ian.
".That is what he says added the
president, and what annoys me is that
I have not received them,
Then, turning to the sentry. he said:
Send up to the door for the officer in
charge and tell him that when tele.
grams come here addressed to me they
should and must be delivered TO INC.
Tell him also,' and by this time the
president was very mad, that IL he
sends any more Of my kilograms ever
to Mr.. Stanton's house I'll drive him
away from here. Mr.. Stanton hns
enough kilograms OF his own ard
should not have mine
Though I vas but q boy" said Mr..
Frederick, II could see that Mr.. Lin.
coin was mad all the way through and
that, for the moment, Mt least, he was
dlspleased with his war minister, Sec
tstary Stanton, and that he intended
exactly what he said. The president.
then directing himself to me, contin-
ued= Boy, tell your folks that / must
have my kilograms and that Il these
soldiers. about the door interfere any
more I'll drive every one OF them away.
I don't want them and never die want
them ABOUT the place."

LIFE.

From an Exchange.
Life-what Is It?
All. who knows?
Just a visit,
I suppose;
JOY and sorrow
For a day,
Then tomorrow
We're away.
Youth, and morning.
Manhood, noon:
Age-the warning
Night comes soon;
snines a star to
Light us; then
'Tis not far To
Home again.

STREET
CAR SIGNS
is DIFFERENT, WHICH PROVES
THERE is SOMETHING NEW
UNDER THE SUN
All Kinds of Publicity Are Being Re-
sorted to by Enterprising Mer-
chants, Calling Attention to
Their Special Offerings
for Christmas

One of the cleverest pieces of adver-
tising which has come under the notice
of this paper for good long time is
the street car sign now to be seen-in
fact it rannot help being seen-in all
the cars of this city. That no one has
before thought to use this expression,
which is exactly what all street car
advertisements are put in cars for,
viz NOTICE TO PASSENGERS" is
one of the things which cannot be ex-
planned. All signs in the city cars are
put in for the express purpose of at
tracting the attention of passengers,
but this is the first example to make a
direct appeal to them. We have re-
produced this advertisement in exact
colors as it appears in the city cars.
and are safe in saying that no adver-
tisement of any kind has ever attracted
so much attention and been so univer-
sally commented upon favorably by ad-
vertising men. 1t seems to tell the
story and that in a very few words.
First, that the Bartlett Music company.
the Oldest, largest and strongest music
house in the southwest, has determined
to become the largest retail dealers in
pianos on the coast, and that after
January /. 1908, they will sell pianos

LOS ANGELES GAS FILES
EIGHTH COMPLAINT IN SUIT

The eighth complaint in a series of
suits brought by the Los Angeles Gas
company against the Amalgamated Oil
company was filed yesterday in the su-
perior court by Attorney Walter Van
Pelt.
Each month for the past eight months
the gas CON pany has filed a suit against
the oil company. The suits are brought
to collect money under contract.
1t is alleged that according to a con-
tract the oil company was to furnish oil
at 40 cents. The price of oil has subse-
quently advanced and plaintiff claims
the defendant has refused to comply with
the contract. The gas company is forced
to go into the open market and pur-
chase oil at the prevailing market price,
which is near 80 cents The difference
between the price paiu in the market
and the price contracted for is charged
against the Amalgamated Oil company.
and suit is filed each month for the
amount.
The complaint filed yesterday was for
50, ,2666O, making total of $4,000 to date.

NEW BOOKKEEPING
SYSTEM IS READY
AUDITOR HOLDS OLD BOOKS
OPEN FOR FEW DAYS
Municipal Year Ends with November
and All Outstanding Demands
Must Be Put on Rec
ord at Once

City Auditor w. c. Mushet has notified
heads of departments that it would BE-
well to keep open their books for the
municipal year closed November 80 a few
days longer in order to get all outstand-
ing demands on the books and into the
auditors office.
The object is to get everything per-
tanning to the year of record in their
department and the auditors, also.
The new system of bookkeeping will be
installed at once on the lines of studies
conducted by Auditor Mushet on his
recent trip east.
1t is believed that the system will be
organized before the end of the week
so that the simplifed methods will be in
vogue here as is the practice in eastern
cities.
Eventually when the charter is revised
Auditor Mushet hopes to see many new
reforms introduced, especially in reducing
the number of demands which the mayor
and councilmen sign in perfunctory
manner.
The auditors office is unable to pay city
employees this week, as the lengthening
of the tax period has cut down tax re-
ceipts in the city treasury to $1,000 and
$4,000 daily-far below the normal ex-
penses of the pay rolls.
