| Was Not Renominated by Acclamation."
Col Carr shows the keen political acu-
men OF the martyred President. Lincoln
has been ranked as among the greatest
statesmen and at the same time one a
the shrewdest politicians in our history:
and 1t Is seldom that those qualifications
are found In the same man. Few great
statesmen have been successful politi-
clans. but Lincoln was both. and the rea-
son was that he thoroughly understood
| human nature and could placs himself In
the attitude Of his opponents without
pFejudice and anticipate what they would
be likely to do under the circumstances:
This IL illustrated by the story Of the
Baltimore convention Of 1864. where Lin
coin had an overwhelming majority of
delegates IN favor Of his denomination,
and at the same time q very determined.
bitter minority opposed to second term
| They were led or inspired by men who
| had been his enthusia site supporters and
| warmest admirers In the past-men like
Horace Greeley. John c. Fremont. Thad-
deus Stevens. Salmon P. Chase and the
| radical element in the republican party.
| There were many contested delegations
| and the minority were prepared TO utilize
any excuse to bolt the convention and
| nominate third ticket which would split
the republican vote and make Ltncolns
reelection doubtful The leaders OF the
majority were prepared to deal with the
/
and they went to Baltimore intending to
| throw out all OF the indictments and seat
all the contestants who were favorable
to Lincoln's denomination.
The delegates from Illinois were ex-
pected to take the lead. and when they
assembled in caucus on the day previous
to the convention to select Vice Presi-
dent. secretary. members Of the COM
mittees on credentials. resolutions. etc.
they intended to take such action as
would indicate the policy OF the Lincoln
supporters regarding the contested dele
cations With scarcely an exception
Col. Carr. who was present says,
every Illinois delegate favored the con-

| ence without any doubt that we would

Wise Counsel Prevailed.
Just as they were about to vote on the
question. Col. Carr says. a young man

say a word-that he wanted to voice his

Why lLost
My job.
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.

Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.
ST believe my fate Is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers who
daily lose their places for reasons they
do not know. and probably would not
believe. When their last pay envelope
comes along, it Is usually Your ser
vices no longer required" If the truth
were known. the reason for their un-
ceremonious removal would probably
be that their usefulness was destroyed
because of some mental worry, bodily
ailment or general indisposition. These
things, as we all know. are the most
fruitful causes of failure in all walks
of life The battle of Waterloo was
lost because of a headache. In this
quick age our minds must be clear,
rapid, active. and free from outside
influence or worry, or else we go down
to failure with the throng of "fioaters"
who go from one place of employment
to another, giving no satisfaction to
others or to themselves. constantly
growing older and less useful, with no
ambition, no will power. and no hope.
Every man requires from every other
man the best that is in him. But no
man can use or get the best that is
in himself until he is first free from
all fretful indispositions and worries.
That was my trouble. I was full
of troubles. That's why lost my job.
My stomach in the first place was al
ways out of order. and / was worry
ing about it and my mind grew cloudy,
and slow. I made mistakes. and grew
grouchy. That was the end.
There are thousands like me, going
about with "Quick lunch faces dys-

SUES FATHER -IN-LAW.
Mrs. sarah Roser Asks $4,000 for
Theft of Husbands Affection.

Sarah Roser of Kansas City, Mo-. be-
lieves that her husbands affection and
his care and attention were worth $l0,-
900 to her and therefore since she has
them no more she sues Edward Roser
of Leavenworth, a we'll to do citizen of
that town, for alternating the affections
of her husband, Edward F. Roser, who
is his son. That's not all, she wants
$4,000 additional for unitive dam
ages. Twenty thousand dollars in all.
The Rosers were married in January
1906, and lived together until March,
1907, when Mrs. Roser left her husband
because she states she could no longer
stand the neglect and humiliation to
which she was being daily subjected.
The father, according to the petition,
carefully tutored his son, to display a
studied air of indifference towards his
wife. Judging from the statements con-
tanned in the allegations which Mrs.
Roser makes, her father-in-law was
averse to the marriage from the begin
ming for she says he treated her in a
"discourteous and distant manner" soon
after the marriage nuptials.
One son six months old resulted from
the union. Mrs. Sarah Roser retains
possession of the child and states that
she is living in want and has difficulty
in maintaining livelihood for herself
and the baby boy.
The suit was filed in the United
States circuit court.

in the opinion that DR.. Keith has made
an excellent coroner, and saved the
county a deal of useless expense.
AS Johnny on the spot his record
has never been beaten. AS rule he
beats the police by several lengths to
the scene of a crime or tragedy of ac-
cidental nature, and there has been
no complaint against him He has
not called an inquest and stacked up
expenses unless the nature of the case
fully justified the move, and has pass
ed up many cases where an inquest
would have been legally justified, be-
cause the circumstances did not war;
rant the move.
A short time ago DR.. Keith's friends
tried to induce him to, run for the
office of sheriff. He refused to enter
the race for the reason that he has a
large medical practice and private
hospital which require his attention.
The office of coroner. thanks to the
fact that this county is not overbur-
dened with tragic deaths, does not
take up much of his time. The office
pays only according to the demand
for the official.

cious fight for the office" says DR..

with my past record. I hope theyewiIi
