LINCOLN'S ADVICE TO LAWYERS.

When Mr.. Lincoln was a practicing
lawyer he lectured before an assembly
of young men of that profession and in
the course of his remarks gave them
this bit of advice:
Discourage litigation. Persuade your
neighbor to compromise whenever you
can. Point out to them how the nominal
winner is often the real loser-in fees,
expenses and waste of time. AS a peace
maker, the lawyer has superior oppor-
tunity of being good man. There will
still be business enough.
"Never stir up litigation. A worse
man can scarcely be found than one who
does this. Who can be more nearly a
fiend than he who habitually over-hauls
the register of deeds in search of defect.
in titles, whereupon to stir up strife anc
put money in his pocket? A moral tone
ought to he infused into the profession
which should drive such men out of it. u
The lawyer who stirs up litigation fol-
the sake of getting fee is on par will
the physician who would poison a mar
for a similar urpose.-Richmond New!
Leader.

HELP EACH OTHER.

DNshNh AHIhANGt-l
We do not believe in selfishness.
No man can live alone. Each individual
is dependent in a measure upon the 9TH
er. Money is no value until used. It's
mission is only to facilitate the dealings
between man and man and nation and
nation. Beyond that its value ceases.
1t is only piece of paper or a piece
of metal with the government stamp on
nothing more. Panics and fnan-
cial depression are caused by the self
ishness of those who control the circu-
latlon of money. Money is simply the
llte-giving power to the people, and
commercial enterprises are the arteries
through which it flows. Stop this cir
culation, and the first to feel its effects
is the man who works for wages. be-
cause he is fartherest from the supply.
Let this stoppage continue for anv
length of time and business begins to
feel cold chills creeping over it. 1t is
then when notice is taken of the condi-
ton of affairs. A howl comes first
from those who gamble in stocks and
bonds, for they know that the pulse
of trade is stimulated or depressed by
the sentiment of the people. If their
Susiness is greatly affected they want
to shift the responsibility on some one
else. Then comes the millionaires to
the rescue, offering their money to re-
lieve the situation, but not without a
liberal discount. Yet this relief only
affects the stock gambler, while the
wage-earner and legitimate business
must suffer until the conditions of cir
culation become normal.
During this panic it is the moral duty
of each individual to help the other as
far as in his power lies, and relieve the
actual suffering brought on by gam
blers who manipulate the life giving
powers of the people. The legitimate
enterprises are not to blame for this
condition. 1t is the manipulation of the
money market to suit private ends.
when money in itself has no market
value. Its market value. if it has any
atall, is fictitious, and based only on
what men see fit to place it-and the
conditions now existing proves that the
accumulation of wealth is the only OBJ
Ject In view, regardless of the neces-
stiles of others. Give US an honest and
legitimate circulation of mon ey,
based on the admonition of 'help each
other" and there will be no such thing
as panic, or a shortage in money with
which to carry on the business of the
country. Selishness is only one phase
OF tyranny, which to our mind, this
country is fast drifting.

CAN YOU REMEMBER NAME?

Many persons of average intelligence
have difficulty in remembering proper
names. With some it is an infirmity
and an affiiction. One of the infirm and
afflicted meets man whom he knows
perfectly well, but whose name he
cannot recall for the life of him, and
the lapse is always embarrassing and
sometimes painful. 1t would not be so
bad If the other man were always con-
siderate. But usually he is not, and
sometimes he is sensitive and mean.
he sees your embarrassment, and
makes the situation as uncomfortable
for you as he can. He either sulks in
silence or looks at you resentfully and
says: "You don't know me-" He
takes 1T as personal affront that you
do not remember his name, and as for
yourself, you have a sense of regret
that you ever heard it.
Why will men and women be so SEN
sitive and so inconsiderate? In this
busy age all men with an occupation
have many things to remember. Incl
dent crowds incident all the day long,
and memory would be overwhelmed if
one should try to remember everything
that happens and every name of every
body that one meets. How simple it is,
when you meet an acquaintance who
has forgotten, to tell him your name as
soon as you note his embarrassment,
and to tell him good naturedly and
graeiously. Why make scene when
there is no occasion for it? Why show
nasty temper and hit aman when he's
down? Nothing is gained by it. The
person who is thus prosecuted may re-
member the prosecutor thereafter, but
never with pleasure. Times Dispatch.

THE WISE FAMILY.

Governor Henry A. Wise, whose life
teemed with dramatic incidents, was
born in Virginia, educated in Pennsyl-
vania, and beginning his legal career in
Nashville, Tenn, he seemed to belong
to three States. When elected to Con-
gress in 1888 he fought a duel with his
opposing candidate, and in 1887 took
part in a similar encounter as second to
Graves, of Kentucky, in his duel with
Cilley, of Maine. This affair, the last
which occurred on the famous dueling
ground at Bladensburg, so aroused the
public conscience that the United States
Supreme Court refused in protest to at
tend Cilley's funeral, and Congress
passed an act making the giving or ac-
cepting of challenge within the Dis
trict of Columbia misdemeanor pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment. Wise
was made Governor of Virginia in 1856,
one of the last acts of his administration
being the execution, December 2, 1859.
of John Brown.
Governor Wise married Miss Mary
Lyons. a sister of Hon. James Lyons,
of Richmond. and great
aunt of Mrs. Claude A. Swanson,
wife of the present Governor
of Virginia. Miss Lyons was
belle, and, having rival in the field
named Morrison, Mr.. Wise conveyed to
her the familiar couplet:
Hasten, sinner, to be Wise;
Stay not for the Morrison.

KIND OF IRISH
POTATOES TO PLANT,

When the set Is planted in the field
and begins to sprout, the young plant
gets its food to begin with from the
parent set; it also utilizes the moisture
in the set, and in a dry time it is very
important on this account alone, to
have sets we'll charged with moisture.
When potatoes sprout in warm, moist
cellar, as they so often do, the shoots
take from the tubers both plant food
and moisture. These shoots are usual
ly broken off when handling the pota-
toes, and hence when the tubers are
cut for planting they are not in the
best condition to produce a good crop
of potatoes. Careful experiments and
observation prove that the second shoots
are not so strong as the first. Ip order
to be certain that when the sets are
cut the eye will start, good practice is
to spread the potatoes out in the light
few days before cutting them until
the eyes start, when they can be cut
more intelligently. Experiments con-
Quoted by the Department of Agricul-
ture for Ireland in 1904 showed so
bushels per acre in favor of sprouting
the sets before planting. Experiments
have been conducted along the line of
cutting different sized sets for upwards
of 100 years. These experiments prove
that, all things being equal, the larger
the set planted the larger the yield;
hence large, whole potatoes usually
give the largest yield, but as it is the
largest crop of marketable potatoes at

A CONTINENT OF ICE.

The largest mass of ice in the world
is probably the one which fills up
nearly the whole of the interior of
Greenland, where it has accumulated
since before the dawn of history. It is
believed to now form a block of about
600, 600 square miles in area and aver
aging mile and half in thickness.
According to these statistics the
lump of ice is larger in volumn than
the whole body of water in the Medi-
terranean, and there is enough of it to
cover the whole of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland with a
layer about seven miles thick. If il
were cut into two convenient slabs and
built up equally upon the entire surface
of Wales it would form pile more than
120 miles high. There is ice enough in
Greenland to bury the entire area of
the United States quarter of mile
deep. - Chicago Herald.

DON'T PUT COIN IN.

Patrons of the rural free delivery
routes, who instead of buying stamps
and attaching them to their letters,
place loose coins in the boxes, are
urged by circular issued by the
Postoffice Department to discontinue
the practice, as it in great measure
prevents the carriers from giving goot
and prompt service.
Carriers are not only subject to the
extra labor Of removing the coins from
the boxes (and this is no insignificant
matter. especially during the winter)
but are greatly delayed in the servic,
of their routes. 1t is therefore advise,
that all patrons provide themselves with
and keep on hand, supply of stamp
consistent with their needs.
