LlNCOLN'S OWN ACCOUNT or
HIS ONE TRANSACTION IN
WHISKEY.

One Of the many vituperative char
ees urged against Mr.. Lincoln dur
ing the Presidential campaign Of 1860
was that he was a wh!skey drinker
and kept it for sale "as a part Of his
general stock merchandise" Though
this charge was laid to rest more
than forty years ago, it has been res
directed and warmly debated in many
quarters. Believing that Mr.. Lin
coins own statement concerning the
question would be of interest, I beg
leave to give it as I had it from his
own lips while painting his portrait
at Springfield a few weeks prior to his
election, says a correspondent of the
New York Sun.
During his sittings for the portrait
his familiar talks about his Senate
rial contest with Mr.. Douglas, his
grocery business and postmastership
at Salem, how he became a lawyer,
etc. we're very interesting. Much
that he said was in response to ques-
tons or suggestions. At the last SIT
ting I ventured to ask him about the
WHiThtI IGpOIlS. lulS was his re-
ply:
when I was in the grocery bust
ness there was so little money in cir
culation that I was compelled to take
in payment for my goods anything
the farmers had to sell. When I
had rot enough together for a boat
load 7 loaded my flatboat, foated
down the Sangamon River to the Mis-
sissippi and so on to New Orleans,
where I sold my stuff and replinished
my stock of groceries. When l was
about to start on one of these trips a
neighbor asked me to take three bar
rels of whiskey to New Orleans and
sell it for him. That I did"
Then with emphatic speech and ges-
ture he added:
"That was the only whiskey trans
action of my life.

different kinds of peace activity, "
the Japanese, for instance, campaign
ing against native plague, the Ital-
ian Red Cross against malaria and
the the Congo Red Cross against the
sleeping sickness.
The advent of the American Red
Cross to the field was welcomed by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis. After consultation the Red
Cross decided last January to con-
centrate it's efforts at first upon es-
tablishing tuberculosis day camps,
which are places, in or near cities,
where tuberculosis patients may find
the conditions essential to improve
ment and cure-rest, air, light and
proper food. The first Red Cross
day camp in America was opened in
Schenectady on June 10Th, and was
conducted three months in co-Opera-
ton with the Municipal tuberculosis
Dispensary and the local charities.
| The District of Columbia Red Cross
soon after opened another camp.
Camps viii be opened next spring in
/ several other cities.
The new stamps have been gotten
out by the million. No one makes
any profit on them, and practically
/ every cent goes into the fight against
| tuberculosis. Where the Red Cross
! is not undertaking work of its own
| it is helping other tuberculosis work.
But the raising of money is not the
| sole purpose of the Christmas stamp.
AS Jacob Riis says:
Every one who sees this stamp
on letter or post card wants to
know what it means. And when peo-
pie want to know the fight is won
1t is because they do not know a
few amazingly simple things that
people die of tuberculosis. New

100000 SUFFER FOR FOOD
GREAT BRITAIN is IN THE MIDST
OF A NATIONAL CALAMITY.

Hunger Is Gnawing the Vitals of a
Vast Number of the Kings Sub
jects. PitifuI Sights in London.
In Great Britain hundreds of thou
sands of people are starving and de-
pendent upon charity to keep body
and soul together. The state of af-
fairs is termed by thinking men a
national calamity. When it is I'M
derstood that more than 100000
persons are actually in want and
suffering the seriousness of the situa-
ton will be understood.
Every day these 100000 arise
with the gnawing pain of hunger in
their stomachs and with no assur-
ance that it is to be relieved. Food
is the all important question with
these millions. To keep the flame
of life going they must get it some
how. They must beg, salvage or
steal.
Thefts have increased enormously
in recent months. Pawnshops have
acquired immense stocks and are
taking little.
To make it worse the number of
sufferers is growing steadily. Many
thousands Of frugal workmen have
spent their savings in the period they
have been without work. Economic
as they would they could not stave
off altogether the day when they
were to feel the pinch of poverty, to
know actual need.
The government will have to do
something, devise some means or
other Of caring for the unemployed
of the nation. Riots have come to
be of almost daily occurrence
throughout the United Kingdom.
Agitators are finding fruitful fields
for their labors. These are indeed
black days in Great Britain.

Unions has advised all union men to
refuse to work overtime. The fed

RED CROSS SOCIETY PUTS OUT
MILLIONS TO RAISE MONEY
FOR THE FIGHT.

On millions of letters and pack
ages carrying messages and tokens of
good will this holiday season are
appearing a new stamp, the stamp
of the Red Cross Society, now placed
on the market at cent each to raise
funds to enable the society to extend
its work against tuberculosis where
organized effort is not now being
made to stamp out the disease.
New in this section, the stamp idea
has been tried with marked success
in Europe, and last year in the states
of Delaware and Pennsylvania
Though the idea is essentially Ameri-
can, having first been used at sani-
tary fair held in Boston in 1862 to
raise funds for work on the battle
fields of the south, it has not since
been used for that purpose until the
Portuguese and Danish Red Cross
adopted it as a means to raise funds.
It's great success in these countries
attracted the attention of Jacob A
Riis, himself a Dane, and led to it's
adoption by the American society
Those who attended the sessions
of the International Congress on Tu-
berculosis in Washington in Septem-
Der and October and heard the ex-
perts of the world describe the prog
Tess made in the study and control
of the disease, and who saw the great
exhibition connected with the Con-
gress in the Museum of Natural His
tory, were impressed by the new note
of hope sounded This crusade had
its beginning in the work of the Ger
man Red Cross, following the discov-
cry of Dr.1 Koch that tuberculosis
is transmissible by the tubercle bacil-
lus. One of the most interesting
contributions presented at the con-
gress, to accompany the exhibit of
the German Red Cross, was a book
describing the latter's fight against
tuberculosis.
The campaign of the German Red
Cross began ten or eleven years ago,
when it had on hand many hundred
portable houses designed for use as
hospital barracks in time of war.
These were converted to use for the
housing of tuberculosis patients
From this beginning has grown the
present highly developed work. The
Russian Red Cross was not long in
following the example set by Ger
many. Some tuberculosis work has
been done by the Austrian Red Cross
Other Red Crosses have undertaken
