LINCoLN'S FAITH.
There Was No "If' in His Trust in God
Says Gen. Howard

'As illustrative of Mr. Lincoln's su-
perb faith, | will give an instance that

0. o. Howard in the Century. I'm the
largest room in the white house, on the
second floor, We're gathered a number of
officers of the army, then of prominence
by reason of the commands that they
held in the field; many civilians who
held no office. but who had come from
the north to see Washington and pay
their respects to Mr. Lincoln. and per
haps get contracts essential 10 running
the government; and few members of
Congress
'At first it appeared more like large

right as a people the Lord would help
us and we should have a decided sue

"Mr. Lincoln. hearing the remark of
the senator, with his clear. shrill enun-
citation, cried out: My faith is greater
than yours
Everybody turned and looked at the
President. who was head and shoulders

Boy Who Can Telegraph Home as He
Walks Along the Road.

Walter J. Wilienborg is d boy who has
decided 10 conquer the problems Of wire
less telegraphy. He has his own labora-
tory adjoining his bedroom. He has con
structed a wireless receiving station at
the top Of the house
Curions TO see what could be done on
a very small scale. says ST. Nicholas. he
invented and made a portable wireless
telegraphic station that he could carry
about in his pockets. From the top but
ton of his coat be hung a slender wire
that reached to the ground and 50 ar
ranged that when be walked along "A
country road the wire would trail upon
the ground behind him.
In his POCKET he carried a little bat
terry. On a bit Of board as big as your
hand he placed complete wireless
transmitting apparatus, induction coil,
baby souBder and all, supporting this
fairy telegraph station by fastening il to
belt around his waist.
From t.sis travelling station he sSIt
messages from a country road to his
folks at home eight miles away in tor, n,
telling them where he was and whore he
was going and that be would reach home

Gaining Roadway

NEW YORK, March 7-R. G.
Dun & Co.'S Review of Trade today
says:
Favorable symptoms are more nu-
merous in the commercial outlook,
especially in respect TO the growth
of confidence. Jobbers note more
pressure to replonish depleted stocks
of staple merchandise, orders in
many cases being for delivery next
fall. The advancing season has also
contributed to the better feeling by
accelerating the distribution of
spring goods and stimulating interest
in the building trades. Industrial
plants are more active, pig iron pro-
auctions rising to the best weekly
average in three months. Credits
are still closely scanned and mer-
camille collections are by no means
satisfactory. yet payments are more
PROMPT and the volume of business
is distinctly heavier.
There is a question of permanence
of the steady improvement in the
steel and iron industry that would
be lacking were recovery more SEN
sational Each week brings few
more mills and furnaces into the
active list. while specifications on
old contracts constantly call for a
larger tonnage New business APP
