HUMAN SIDE OF THE MAN.

There was something in the rugged
honesty of Abraham Lincoln's cnarac-
ter which made him an attractive
man. 1t had centered there in the
early time when, having sold woman
a pound of tea in a country store and
afterward found that there was a de-
feet in the scaies by which he nd
pound, he walked four miles after the
days work was ended to carry the re-
mainder CT the tea TO the purchaser,
says a writer in Lippincotts.
Having in his boyhood borrowed
Weems Life of Washington
and being SO unfortunate as to let it
drop into a 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 Iaith
in Weems?
His honesty seems to have taken
deep root by the time he went to the
capital to represent his district IN

was mentioned as one of the autners
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

bought the beck and read it, in order
that the story might be in every way
accurate even though it was 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:
Il 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.

necessary to raise men to political
magnitude, he was yet so much great

ladder of public life in the ordinary

LINCOLN AND BLAINE PROPHETS

Two of Americas greatest states
men years ago foresaw the industrial
situation OF today. Nearly half con-
fury ago, Abraham Lincoln, looking
into the future, feared for his coun-
try ard gave warning against the o,sn-
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 10
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
arc given below:
Il have forebodings for my country
in the distant future and am feai shi
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 fcrebodings may not
come true. Abraham Lincoln.

competition in our manufacturing in

AS A FARM Err.

AS a man-of- all work, however,
Lincoln did not prove altogether sat
isfactcry 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 plough
man who read as he followed the
team, no matter how straight his fur
rows ran.
There is well known story about
a farmer who found ''the hired man
lying in field beside the road, dressed
In his not too immaculate farm
clothes, with a 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 isages of his book.
Studying Wiiat?"
Law, SIR
The old man stared at the speaker
for a moment in utter amazement.
"Great-uod-Almi he NUT

Many examples might be given of
felicitous phrases that gave point tn

Vast Size of Alaska.

Drawn to the exact scale, Alaska, if placed on the top of the United States, would reach from Savannah, Ga., to Los Angeles, and from Mexico to Can ada, and its range of climate and physical conditions are even greater. The strip of mainland and islands fronting the Pacific ocean are as warm in winter as Kansas. The Arctic coast is colder than Duluth. Desig- nate which part you refer to as care- fully as you would in speaking of a place in the United States, bearing in mind that it is as important as it is to let one know whether you mean Hi nois or Georgia, Minnesota or Texas Fairbanks News.

When man says he always was sick-troubled with a cough that last ed all winter-what would you think if he should say-be never was sick since using Ballard's Horehound Syr- up. Such man exists. J. c.

I tried Ballard's Horehound Syrup and have not had a sick day since. That's what it did for me-" Sold by Watkins Drug Store.

Asset" Currency.

One of the most remarkable condi-
 tions brought about by the banks of
 this country to cover the financial de-
 pression, if there is such a thing, is
 the issue of "asset" currency by both
 big and small banking institutions to
 cover the lack of funds to meet cur
 rent demands. No greenbacker in his
 widest dreams of currency issue has
 ever gone so far as these same men
 who have denounced the issue of fiat"
 money in every form. By them free coinage of silver was deprecated as a
 relic of ancient barbarism, only semi civilized races maintaining currency so cheap as that composed of the white
 metal. The banker and gold standard
 fellows told the people that there was an abundance of gold for all business uses in the world, and now that the
 gold standard is with us these same fellows are after an "elastic" currency
 based on the assets of all the banks, so that in times of stringency these funds can be put on the people in pay ment of all claims or demands against the banks. Jerold Frame, of the
 American Bankers Association, in recent interview, denounced the scheme of asset currency as one that
 would eventually ruin the banking
 business of this country and compel the assumption of the banking of the country by the general government.
 He does not believe the people will accept the asset currency of the banks
 when they turned down the same scheme that was before the people in the shape of an unlimited issue of greenbacks. The banks are trying to force an issue on the people and the chances are they will be the heavy loser by it. The people will not stand anything that savers of fiat money and the sooner the banking interests learn this the better it will be for the busi- ness interests of the country. The currency bill will be introduced at the forthcoming session of congress and the people will then have chance to see what manner of ''fnanciers' the bankers of the United States are.

The line of the counties will be reached today and the survey north from it to Nelson will be completed within few days. Lat CT observations will be taken to check up the triangulation from the datum monument to the line. The settling of the disputed line between this and Yavapai county will be of great bene- fit to the people living in that quarter.

Della Prinele.

The Pocatello Tribune, in review ing the Della Pringle Co. in ''The Chorus Girl" says: Della Pringle and a strong, well balanced company fairly created record breaking audience at the Auditorium last night in present. ing for the first time clever, we'll built play of semi-pastoral type en- titled "The Chorus Girl" With its plot cleverly worked out, a story that 1 gets close to human nature and nat uralness, and produced in manner that smacked of the great and only roadway, the piece "went" in every sense of the word, from the opening to the final curtain. Miss Pringle's con- pany is we'll cast, costumes are ele- gant, and the production is mounted sumptuously.
 There's story worth telling in The Chorus Girl, and the playwright has handled it in way that reaches the hearts of an audience with quick, sure strokes.
 The presentation of the play itself, however, scored no more of hit than did the specialties introduced by the members of the company, and the en- tire company were compelled to re- spond to several curtain calls. Alto gether the show is an excellent one.
 
 John Brennan, an old miner and prospector of this county, died in the local jail at Kelvin a few days ago. He had been on a protracted spree and was placed in the jail to sober up. When the jailor went into the cell with his supper he found the man dead. A number of years ago John and Pat Brennan, inseparable broth CTS, went on drinking bout at Jerome and while under the influence of the liquor wandered off into the hills, where they were caught in snow- storm and when found Pat was dead. John wandered back to this county and prospected and mined here for some time after the brother's death and then disappeared. It was thought that he had perished on the desert, but later he showed up in the south part of the territory. He was harm less, inoffensive old fellow and the boys who knew him we'll will wish him a better life beyond the grave.
