HUMAN SIDE OF The MAN.

There was something in the rugged
honesty of Abraham Lincoln's charac-
ter which made him an attractive
man. 1t had centered there in the
early time when, having sold woman
| a pound of tea in country store and
afterward found that there was de-
feet in the scales by which he nd
unwittingly weighed out less than a
pound, he walked four miles after the
days work was ended to carry the re-
mainder of the tea to the purchaser,
says writer in Lippincott's.
Having in his boyhood borrowed
Weems' Life of Washington
and being SO unfortunate as to let it
drop into key of water, he put in
three days of hard work to pay for
the book, which he carefully dried and
kept regarding it with great interest
and believing it. How many of US
at the present day can recall the
golden age in which we, too, put 1aith
in Weems?
His honesty seems to have taken
deep root by the time he went to the
capital to represent his district IN
congress; for a sketch of his life hav-
ing been published in which Plutarch
was mentioned as one of the authors
with whose works he was familiar he
sent for the writer Of the article and
told MIN that at the time the sketch
was prepared it was not true that he
had read Plutarch, but he had since
bought the book and read it, in order
that the story might be in every way
accurate even though it was a common
sketch In 1860, when he received a
telegram saying that he could not win
the nomination unless he promised TO
give two cabinet positions to certain
men who were mentioned he replied:
"I authorize no bargains and shall be
bound by none"
Some one has said that few, if any,
men have been called to the presi-
dency with as little knowledge of
craftsmanship This may be true,
but does not his subsequent life sh W
how much more important is knowl-
edge of life ard humanity? With lit
tie of the training that is usually
necessary to raise men to political
magnitude, he was yet so much great
err than those who had climbed the
ladder of public life in the ordinary
way that one who met him daily at
the white house, surrounded by men
of whom he had formed exaggerated
opinions, noted that all whom he had
regarded as the giants of the arena
seemed to diminish in size as they
came in any way in comparison with

A MAsT-FEp LAWYER.

Many examples might be given OF
felicitous phrases that gave point to
Lincoln's speech. Once an eminent
lawyer was presented to him. The
President courteously said that he was
familiar with the judges professional
reputation The Judge responded;
''And we do not forget that you, too
Mr. President, are distinguished
member of the bar"
ooh" said Mr.. Lincoln, modestiy~
I'm only mast-fed lawyer"

AS A FARMER.

AS man-of- all work, however,
Lincoln did not prove altogether sat
isfactory to his employers. He was
too fond of mounting stumps in the
field and "practicing polemics" On the
other farm hands, and there was some
thing uncomfortable about a plough
man who read as he followed the
team, no matter how straight his fur
rows ran.
There is a well-known story about
a farmer who found "the hired man"
lying in field ueside the road, dressed
in his not too immaculate farm
clothes, with book instead of pitch
fork in his hand.
What are you reading?" inquired
the old gentleman.
I'm not reading; I'm studying,
answered Lincoln, his wonderful eyes
still on the pages of his book.
Studying what?'
Law, sir"
The old man stared at the speaker
for a moment in utter amazement.
''Great-uod-Alm he NUT
tered as he passed on, shaking his

LINCOLN AND BLAINE PROPHETS.

Two of Americas greatest states
men years ago foresaw the industrial
situation OF today Nearly half cen
tury age, Abraham Lincoln, looking
into the future, feared for his coun-
try and gave warning against the Com
centration of wealth and corruption
in high places"
More than twenty-five years ago
James G. Blaine, then a power in con-
gress, in a splendid plea, referred TO
the restriction of competition and the
consequent organization of the great
trusts with which the nation is
wrestling today Extracts from the
famous speeches of Lincoln and Blaine
are given below:
81 have forebodings for my country
in the distant future, and am feai 'hl
that corruption will appear in nigh
places and the money powers of our
country will concentrate into few
hands, and there is grave danger of
it overthrowing our republic Really,
this has caused me more alarm than
at any time during the late war. God
grant that my forebodings may not
come true. Abraham Lincoln.
I'VE must not destroy or restrict
competition in our manufacturing in
dustries If we do that it will bring
about two classes Of people, few mas
tiers and many slaves. james G.

Facts About Finuer Nails.

The growth of the average finger
nail is computed to be one thirty-sec-
ond of an inch a week, or a little more
than an inch and a half a ear The
finger nails, Popular Science Siftings
states, are said to grow faster in the
summer than in the winter. The nail
on the middle finger grows faster than
any Of the other nails, and that on
the thumb grows slowest. 1t is also
said that the nails on the right hand
grow faster than those on the left
hand.
According to the growth stated, the
average time taken for each finger
nail to grow its full length is about
four and a half months, and at this
rate a man 70 years old would have
renewed his nails 1876 times. TAX.
ing the length of each nail as half an
inch, he would have grown seven feet
nine inches of nail on each finger,
and on all his fingers and thumbs an
aggregate length of TIN feet.
