4 BRAHAM LINCOLN once asked friend
n conundrum that something like this:

many legs would the sheep then have''
When his friend said olive Lincoln replied:
"No, it would have only four, because CALLING
sleeps tail leg doesn't make it So"
Suppose apply this conundrum to modern
advertising.
CALLING every scheme advertising that
masquerades under the of advertising does
make it so. The merchant needs be sharp select

just fast turning down advertising mediums of

"He lived in days that We're great and
terrible, when brother fought against
brother for what each sincerely deemed
to be the right. In a contest so grim
the strong men who alone can carry it
through are rarely able to do Justice
to the deep convictions of those with
whom they grapple in mortal strife. At
such times men see through glass dark

is vouchsafed that clear vision which
gradually comes to all, even to the lesser.
as the struggle fades into distance. and
wounds are forgotten. and peace creeps
back to the hearts that were hurt. But
Lincoln was given TINS supreme vision.
He did not hate the man from whom he
differed. Weakness was as foreign as
wicked to his strong. gentle nature: but
his courage was OF a quality high
that it needed no bolstering of dark pas
sion He saw clearly that the same
high qualities the same courage, and
willingness for self-sacrifice. and devo-
uon to the right it was given them to
see the right, belonged both to the men
of the north and to the men of the south.

days; the lover of his country and of all

Hodgenville. Ky.-The corner stone
OF the splendid memorial to be erected
10 the memory of Abraham Lincoln
was laid by President Roosevelt. The
exercises were participated in by many
of the nations leading men, Cardinal
Gibbons and ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri
being among those who made ad-
dresses.
From all points, by train and over
roads not particularly smooth at this
season of the year, the people gathered
to the exercises. A building four
times the size of the tent provided
could not have accommodated the
crowd.
The corner stone of the Memorial
hall was laid by President Roosevelt.
In an impressive address the chief ex-
ecutive eulogized the life and work of
the great statesman. He spoke as fol-
lows:
We have met here te celebrate the one
hundredth anniversary of the birth of
one OF the two greatest Americans; of
one OF the two or three greatest men of
the nineteenth century; OF one of the
greatest men in the worlds history. This
rail splitter. this boy who passed his un-
gainly youth in the dire poverty of the
poorest of the frontier folk, whose rise
was by weary and painful labor, lived to
lead his people through the burning
names of a struggle from which the ma
ton emerged, purified as by fire, born
anew TO loftier life. After long years
OF iron effort, and of failure that came
more often than victory, he at last rose
to the leadership of the republic at the
moment when that leadership had become
the stupendous world-task of the time.

case. Success came to him. but never
happiness. save that which springs from

Power was his. but not pleasure. The
burrows deepened on his brow. but his
eyes were undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders We're bowed.
but his steel thews never faltered as he
bore for a burden the destines of his
people. His great and tender heart
shrank from giving pain; and the task
allotted him was to pour out like water
the life-blood of the young men. and to
feel in his every fiber the sorrow of the
wqfnG Disaster saddened but never dis
m1yed him. As the red years of war
went by they found him ever doing his
duty in the present, even facing the flu
ture with fearless front. high of heart
and dauntless of soul. Unbroken by ha-

suffered for the people. Triumph his
