ONLY GOT BACK HIS OWN.
Umbrella Had Long Been Absent from
Its Proper Hall Tree.


"Stories about umbrellas" said q
New York physician, when that useful
article was the subject Of discussion,
ARE as numerous as fish stories, and
often test just as severely the
credulity of those who listen to them.
This is true one: A patient tele-
phoned an hour after he had been at
my office one morning that he had left
his umbrella on .he hall rack; would I
see that it was kept for him? My
servant found it, and that evening
while We were at dinner he called, got
the umbrella mad cane in to thank me-
There he told long stary as to how
he valued the umbrella because he had
carried it a long time, and it was just
the right weight and showed dent
in the silver handle which had been
made by his little boy when he used it
as a hockey stick l saw my wife
smile while the story was being told.
She understood my wink, however
and we said nothing. But when the
man had gone away with the Umbrella
under his arm we laughed, for We had
recognized the umbrella which / had
carried out and never brought back
more than three years ago."

Llncoln's tendency toward humor
helps one toward the conclusion
that the lines are funny by in
tention, but they are not suffi-
GENTLY funny to establish a con-
viction, especially as the humor Of
them is not at all of the recognized
Lincoln sort, and their rather labor
ious accuracy of rhyme and rhythm in
dicates that the writer was really try
ing to do his best, with some faint
hope that his best would be-poetry.
OF course the man who later wrote
the Gettysburg address was in no dan
ger of self-deception as to the merits
of his verses, and, while he may have
made other trials of his youthful
aspiration, the disappearance of the
results is proof Of how he judged them.
1t may be said, incidentally, that
whole reams of verse, some of it no
better, and much of it very much
worse, than this Bear Hunt" are sent

LINCOLN AS A POET.
Tried His Hand" at 1t, But Was
Hardly Successful.

That Abraham Lincoln wrote poetry,
or at least verses, in his earlier days
is news, but there is nothing at all
surprising in it. For to almost every
body with any command Of words
there comes at some time both the in
clination and the ability to put them
in measured lines. That Lincoln
should have tried his hand at the gen.
tie art was natural-indeed, inevitable;
that one of the effusions should have
survived is an accident which nobody
need regret, particularly as "The Bear
Hunt" now on exhibition among Mr..
Morgan's manuscript treasures in the
Columbia library, is not so bad, as an
experiment, though it is quite bad
enough to justify and explain why its
author decided that his business in
life was not the cultivation OF the
muse.

rious production:

Year of Business Depression.

When a manufacturing establish
ment reaches out in a year of depres.
sion and increases and expands its
business, while others in the same line
diminish their outputs or stand still, it
is because there must be some un-
usually good reason for it. In this
instance splendid reputation and a
more-than-ordinary meritorious prod
uct were responsible for the showing
made.
The Mayer Boot & Shoe Company,
Milwaukee, the largest shoe establish
ment in the Northwest, has just closed
its fiscal year, and reports an increase
In sales over the corresponding period

ing speaks volumes for the genuine
merit Of Mayer shoes, and is directly
attributed to their high standard, and

on his return, about II o'clock, found
Fisher at his house in bed, and appar.
emily very unwell; that he asked him
how he had come from Springfield;
that Fisher said he had come by Peo-
ria, which showed that he at the time
OF speaking did not know where he
had been wandering about in a state
OF arrangement. He further stated
that in about two hours he received a
note from one of Traitors friends ad-
vising him of his arrest and request
ing him to go on to Springfield as a
witness to testify as to the state Of
Fishers health in former times; that
he Immediately set off, calling up two
OF his nelghbOrs as company, and
riding all evening and all night, over
took Maxcy and William at Lewiston
in Fulton county That Maxcy refus-
ing to discharge Traitor upon his state
ment, his two neighbors returned, and
he came to Springfield.
Here the testimony ended, and the
Traitors were discharged, Archibald
and William expressing, both in word
and manner, their entire confidence
that Fisher would be found at the doc
tors by Galloway, Mallory and Myers,
who a day before had been dispatched
for that purpose; while Henry still
protested that no power on earth could
ever show Fisher alive.
When the Doctors story was first
made public, it was amusing to scan
and contemplate the countenanceS,
and hear the remarks of those who
had been actively engaged in the
search for the dead body; some looked
quizzical, some melancholy, and some
furiously angry. Porter, who had
been very active, swore he always
knew the man was not dead, and that
he had not stirred an inch to hunt for
him. Langford, who had taken the
lead in cutting down Hickox's mill
dam, and wanted to hang Hickox for
objecting, looked most awfully woebe-
gone; he seemed the victim of I'M
requited affection" as represented in
the comic almanacs we used to laugh
over. And Hart, the little drayman
that hauled Molly home once, said it
was too damned bad to have so much
trouble and no hanging after all.

Letter Reveals Sense of Humor Of Which This
Great Man Was Possessed "Tragedy"
That eliminated in Joke on
Springfield Citizens

Among legal records in the posses
sion of Mr.. John F. Geeting, promi-
nent Chicago attorney and editor OF
American Criminal Reports, is the fol-
lowing letter written by Abraham Lin
coin in 1S41 1t appeared originally in
the Quincy Wing of April 9, 1S46, and
in that article. probably written by
Lincoln himself (for it is known that
he took much interest in the features
of the case) the following lines APP
pear: "On the next Monday Myers ar
rived at Springfield, bringing with
him the now famed Fisher, in full life
and proper person" Evidently the
letter of Lincoln was written before
Fisher had been found.
Springfield, June 10, TS41.-Dear
Speed: We have had the highest state
of excitement here for week past
that our community has ever wit
messed; and although the public feel
ing is somewhat allayed, the curious
affair which aroused it lis very far
from being over, yet cleared of mys-
terry. 1t would take a quire of paper
to give you anything like a full ac-
count of it, and l, therefore, only pro-
pose brief outline.
The chief personages in the drama
are Archibald Fisher, supposed to be
murdered, and Archibald Traitor, Hen
nv Traitor and William Traitor, sup
posed to have murdered him. The
three Traitors are brothers. On Sat
urday evening, being the 10Th of May,
Fisher and William came to Henry's

stayed over Sunday; and Monday all
three came to Springfield Henry ON

evening at supper Fisher was missing,
and so next morning some Intellectual
search was made for him; and on

Tuesday, at 1 o'clock p. m, William
and Henry started home without him.
In a day or two Henry and one or
two of his Clary Grove neighbors
came back for him again, and adver-
tised his disappearance in the papers,
The mass of the people commenced
a systematic search for the dead body,
while Wickersham was dispatched to
arrest Henry Traitor at the Grove, and
Jim Marcy to Warren to arrest Will
liam. On Monday last, Henry was
brought in, and showed an evident in
clination to insinuate that he knew
Fisher to be dead, and that Archibald
and William had killed him. He said
he guessed the body could be found
in Spring creek, between the Boards
town road and Hickox's mill Away
the people swept like a herd of buffa-

meantime a sort Of scuffling- ground
had been found in the brush in the
angle, or point, where the road lead
ing into the woods past the brewery,
and the one leading in past the brick
grove met. From the scuff1e- ground

Archibald and Henry were both pres
ent. Lamborn prosecuted, and Logan,
Baker and your humble servant de-
Tended. A great many witnesses were
introduced and examined, but l shall
only mention those whose testimony
seemed most important. The first of
these was Capt. Ransdell. He swore
that, when William and Henry left
Springfield for home on Tuesday be-
fore mentioned, they did not take the
direct route-which, you know, leads
by the butcher shop; but that they fol-
lowed the street north until they got
opposite, or nearly opposite.
Henry was then introduced by the
prosecution. He swore that, when they
started for home, they went out north,
as Ransdell stated, and turned down
west by the brick-yard into the woods,
and there met Archibald; that they
proceeded small distance further,
when he was placed as a sentinel to
watch for and announce the approach
of anyone that might happen that
way; that William and Arch. took the
dearborn out of the road a small dis
lance to the edge of the thicket,
where they stopped, and he saw them
lift the boCy of a man into it; that
they moved off with the carriage in
the direction of Hickox's mill, and he
loitered about for something like an
hour, When William returned with the
carriage, but without Arch, and said
they had put him in safe place; that
they went somehow, he did not know
exactly how, into the road close to the
brewery, and proceeded on to Clary's
Grove. He also stated that some
time during the day William told him
that he and Arch had killed Fisher
the evening before; that the way they
did it was by him (William) knocking
him down with a club, and Archibald
then choking him to death.
An old man from Warren, called DIR.
Gilmore, was then introduced on the
part of the defense. He swore that he
had known Fisher for several years;
that Fisher had resided at his house
a long time at each of the different
spells; once while he built a barn for
him, and once while he was doctored
for some chronic disease; that two or
three years ago Fisher had a serious
hurt in his head by the bursting of a
gun, since which he had been subject
to continued bad health and occasional
alteration of mind. He also stated
that on last Tuesday, being the same
day that Maxcy arrested William
Traitor, he (the doctor) was from
home in the early part of the day, and
