officer. Don't you know you will be

The Quaker was manly boy with

said. "Thee didn't think 1 was afraid
did thee?"
The prisoner went back to the guard
house and the colonel went to the Presi-
dent, to Lincoln, who was great because
he knew the hearts of men. The case
was put before him-of the mutinous
Quaker who talked of his religion. the
soldier who refused to fight, who defied
pain and laughed at the fear Of death.
Lincoln listened and looked relieved.

1860 at Wilma, Russia, and was edu-
Gated at the Minsk gymnasium and at
the University of st. Petersburg. at
the age Of 10 he wrote a pamphlet en-
titled, What Is Constitutionalism?
which brought ABOUT his arrest by the
Cars police. He was charged with
treason and sentenced to nine months
solitary confinement. After serving mis-
sentence he was sent back to Minsk.
Finally his activity became so obnoX-
ious to the police that he was again ar
rested. This time he was sentenced to
serve four years sentence in Siberia.
His offenses We're not deemed serious
enough to merit term at hard labor

of SO many Of his Observation-Disclosures

Lincoln Stories in the South.
One of the Southerners in this story is
Mr.. Sanders, man after Lincoln's own
heart, because he is one Of the plain peo-
pie and full of facetious sayings and good
stories.
Finally Mr.. Lincoln turned to Mr.. San
ders. Does your President have much
opposition"
Not among them that he can get his
hands on, but Joe Brown is after him
with sharp stick, and Bob Toombs rares
round, and they manage to keep the water
warm, If not a-bilin'. The States rights
plaster does purity well when you slap it
on some 'un else, but when the other Teller
slaps one on to you, it burns like fire."
How is that?" Mr.. Lincoln asked, his
eyes fairly dancing with amusement.
well, JEFF Davis was put in to slap
the States rights plaster on to you-all
an now he can't hardly git law passed
but what Joe Brown hobs up wi a States
rights plaster an slaps It on to Mr.. Da-
WIS.," Mr.. Lincoln roared with laughter
II don't think it's fair,r Mr.. Sanders
went on, "but some of the boys apperient-
ly git good deal of fun out'n it."
Lincoln's enjoyment of Georgia crack

strong points of sympathy between him
and the Southerner. In the South the
story plays large part in social and DO.

CATHEDRAL OF THE SACRED HEART IN RICHMOND, Va.

occupies an entire block in the heart of
the fashionable quarter of the city, and
facing Monroe Park. At the east end
Of the edifice is the organ loft, in which
one of the largest organs. in the coun-
try has been Installed. At the south
end is the choir, surrounded by great
iron grille, and the simple altar. To
the right of the altar, facing the east,
stands the bishops throne and the
stalls for the priests, while on the OPP
posite side Is set the pulpit. Massive
bronze gates separate the choir from
the transept. The cathedral is lighted
with electricity. There are five affairs
and two chapels.
The actual cost Of the cathedral can
only be estimated. On this point the
dignitaries Of the church ia Richmond
will not talk. 1t Is known, however,
that the statuary in the church, the
gift Of Mrs Ryan personally, cost about
$4,000. Architects and builders who
have looked over the structure say that
the cathedral, including the houses Of
tho church dignitaries, cost in the
neighborhood of million dollars.

Lincoln and the quaker.

In the beautiful Lake Champlain is a
large island, with several separate town
ships Somewhere about 1855 a family
of Quakers came from the South and
found the place. "The Lord" they say,
"has led us into ways of peace. Here
we will live, and the blessings Of heaven
will be with u.s." They labored at their
wholesome toll and their minds were ell
ed with wholesome thoughts. Sun and
storm succeeded sun and storm, and the
years passed and they found rest unto
the third generation.
In 1861, when the stricken country
cried for men to save her, the note of
war came to the island, and the great
grandson of the first Quaker was drafted.
But 1t wilf1be no use," he said. 81
shall never fight. My mother taught me
it is sin. 1t is her religion and my
fathers and their fathers. 1 shall never
raise my hand to kill any one"
The recruiting officer took little notice.
"Well see about that later" he com
mented carelessly.

compatriots in the metropolis, many
of whom were attracted to him by his
ability and the interest aroused by his
romantic career.
Later he went to Chicago, where he
was professor in the University Of
Chicago. In 1900 he became a natural
lied citizen of the United States. After
that he was a translator at the bureau
of the mint in Washington, and in 1908
he became an expert special agent of
the United States census office.
Two years ago he was seized with
the desire of revisiting his native coun-
try, and armed with a complete absolu-
ton for all his political offenses, signed
by Count WHITE himself, DR.. Hourwich
returned to his native country early

house, and upon my telling him that it
was he said he brought letter for Gov.
Price from the President Of the United
States.
II told him that the Governor was
down on his farm two or three miles
away and that as he seemed tired and
broken down would deliver the letter.
II found the old fellow at work in
the barn tanning wheat" Major Anderson
went on, with a reminiscent smile. They
had buried two or three sacks of grain
to keep it from falling into the hands
of the Northern troops, and now they
had resurrected it and were cleaning it
to have some bread. A negro was turn

The Heat OF the SIM.

Prof. Langley, Of the Smithsonian
Institution, was once asked If he could
give some notion Of the heat Of the sun,
body Of which he had made close
study. He answered that the heat Ia
intense beyond conception; that 1t is
enough to warm two thousand million
worlds like ours. and that the earth
receives, every minute, enough to raise
to boiling S7,O0O,OOOOO0 tons Of water.
Notwithstanding these startling figures,
however, the heat that the sun gives to
the earth is not thousandth part Of /
per cent of what 1t sends elsewhere.

hundreds of years, would not keep up

Lincoln's Kindness.

One of the many examples of Abraham
Lincoln's kind-hearted nature recently
came to light among the papers on file in
the War Department. 1t was letter
from young woman in Western State
asking for the return of her sweetheart
who was at the time soldier in the
Union army. In pathetic manner she
told how at the beginning of the war she
became engaged, and how her lover had
gone to the front promising to return at
the close of the war and make her his
bride. Over year had passed, the war
continued, and her lover was lying wound
ed In a hospital. The young woman said
if the soldier in question did not return
at once she would die of broken heart.
Whether or not the two lovers were ever
reunited the department records do not
show, but the paper bears evidence that
the appeal touched the heart of the War
President, for across the back is written
In his own handwriting: LET him go to
her.-A. Lincoln
