A STORY ABOUT LINCOLN.

There are more good stories told
about Abraham Lincoln than about
any other American. Helen Nioolay
| in the St. Nicholas tells of An inter.
view which Lincoln had during the
war with william Scott, boy from
a Vermont farm. who, after marching
forty eight hours without sleep, vol.
unteered to stand guard for sick
comrade. Weariness overcame him
and he was found asleep at his post
within gunshot of the enemy. He
was tried and sentenced to be shot.
MI. Lincoln heard of the case and
went himself to the tent where young
Scott WAS kept under guard He
talked to him kindly, asking abou,
his home. his schoolmates and partic.
ularly about his mother. The Lad
took her picture from his pocket and
showed 1t to him without speaking.
Mr.. Lincoln was much affected. AS
he rose to leave ne laid his hand on
the prisoners shoulder my boy,
he said. you are not going to be
shot tomorrow. believe you when
you tell me that you could not keep
awake. am going to trust you and
send you back to your regiment Now
1 want to know what you intend to
pay for all this?" The lad, over.
come with gratitude. could hardly say
Il word, but crowding down his emo.
tions, managed to say that he did not
know. He and his people were poor
but they would do what they could.
There was his pay and Il little in the
savings bank. They could borrow
something by a mortgage on the farm.
Perhaps his comrades would help. II
Mr.. Lincoln would wait until pay
day possibly they might get together
five or six hundred dollars. Would
that be enough?
The kindly president shook hi,
head. my bill is great deal more
than that" he said. 1T is a very
large one. Your friends cannot pay
it, nor your family, nor even you
farm. There is only one man IN tn,
world who can pay it and his name Il
William Scott II from this day HI
does his duty. so that when he come
TO die he can truly say, ~ have KEEP
the promise 1 gave to the president
have done my duty ss 3 soldier, ;
then the debt Will be paid" Youn,
Scott went back to his regiment An,
his debt WAS fully paid few month
later. for he fell in battle.

Baseball Association are determined
TO have good team represent the

ed that two men, or rather that one
new and one old player have been
signed, Harry Pfeiffer, known
throughout the West Penn circuit as
the, home run hitter. has arrived in
Clarksburg and although he viii not
come to Clarksburg to join the team.
he will be in the, game against Union
town Saturday. Pfeifrer was with
Beaver Falls last year and can play
in any position but pitcher. He Will
probably be used in the outfield and
as catcher, But greater surprise
was In store 70 the fans. TIFFANY,
the, star first. .baseman OF the league
last year. to idol Of the fans. has
agreed to come back and will be In
the game Saturday. Both of these
players arc heavy hitters and with the
addition of jacobson should strength
en- the team considerably.

send pitcher some time this week.
This will be welcome addition, as

ANOTHER SHUT OUT
POINTS FOR PLAYERS


Don't stand near the plate when at
bat. You might get a bump in the
pie repository. o
Don't take the trouble to learn the
teams signals. Fake up few OF
your own and no one will get wise
to them.
Don't hurry. no matter what the
situation, Take your time or You
may tire yourself before the game Is
over.
Don't stand for any advice from the
manager. Let him understand that
you know more about the game than
% managers.
Don't rush when you fan the air
three times and the catcher drops
the ball. No use. He will pick It up
and throw 1t to first, sure. Watch for
this and you will find that It comes
true every time.
Don't slide into a base. You win
soil your uniform and most likely rip
nasty hole in your trousers. Learn
to skip down gracefully and steal the
base in a lady-ltke manner. Copy
the girls style. It's very pretty.
Don't forget to jump on the UNI
pire right at the tap OF the gong.
Give It to him swiftly and then again.
II you start something they might
overlook your work and let you stay
another week.-Charleroi Mall.
