puts IT, Mr.. Lacey began to practice

at court in the litigation of that period.
Lincoln was always being reminded
Of something as he would say, that

And he would name the person Even
when he lived in Menard County, as
it is known now, he had his own pc
culiar way of telling his stories When
he came to the point where the merri-

laugh very heartily and then ,nish the

The Presidents Salary.

No fair-minded citizen will object
to the decision Of the Senate TO raise
the pay of the President. 1t has been
recognized for many years that the
sum allowed to the chief executive
was in nowise adequate for the ex-
penditures he Is called upon to make
With possibly a few exceptions, every
President Of the United States Las de-
parted from Office poorer than he was
upon entering it.
This is a rich country. says the To-
ledo Blade. The material wealth is
far beyond that enjoyed in most of the
countries of Europe. Yet, for purely
political reasons, it has been thought
~ Congress that $4,000 was sufficient
for all the needs and dignities OF the
White House. Senator Bailey argued
ON the floor OF the Senate that the pay
vas quite ample, and that it was an
outrage TO expect the country to pay
for the entertainments given at the
executive mansion. Let the President
cut out the entertainment. says Sen
ator Bailey. But custom is a law no
less than are the statutes filed away
in calf-bOund volumes. 1t has always
been the practice of the heads of gov
ernments to entertain lavishly. 1t is
one of the levers OF diplomacy, these
dinners and dances. The peace of the
world has many time been deter
mined by the viands served at the
tables OF those high III power.

Lees conduct of the same campaign
while Major Eben Swift Of the gener.

closed the discussion.
1t is to be remarked that the Con.
federate was rather more impressed
by Grants ability for war, while the
Federal officer was disposed to award
the palm to Lee. The member of the

Laughed at His own Stories.

The world has read Lincoln stories
and enjoyed them. The testimony of
all who heard Lincoln tell his stories is
that they sounded even better than
they read. Lincoln. those who knew
him we'll say. smiled and chuck!ed and
laughed outright as he proceeded with
his narrative. Sometimes he topped
and laughed aloud before he reached
his climax. He gave localities and per
sons to his stories. He lived over the
incidents he described if they were per
sonal "reminiscences. He was not the
professional entertainer. He enjoyed
the story as much as the listener. He
told the story to illustrate rather than
for the mere sport of telling.

All too soon that summons came, and

Twas long and long ago,
He bore a bulky letter-bag
Through flakes Of falling snow,
And at the eagleguarded door
OF Liberty's design,
He left for Miss Columbia
A matchless valentine.

And all the stars Of night,
The ripples of Its silken folds
Were striped with red and white
The azure OF a cloudless sky

A rainbow to the worlds oppressed

From sea to sea around the globe
Its deathless glory flies,
And brighter still from year to year
Its magic colors shine.
