(Mr. Whitney was an intimate
Eriend of Lincoln from 1859 till the
latters death. His Life on the Cir
cult With Lincoln" and "Lincoln's
Last Speech" are among his best
known works. He is lawyer by pro-
fession and has held several political
offices.-EditOr.
On May 81, 1856, Mr.. Lincoln and
/ were staying over night at Decatur,
and in the evening we walked out 20
the public square, and when we had
reached a particular spot, after veri-
flying it, he said, partly to himself
and partly to me, Here, on this ex-
act spot, twenty-six years ago, | stood
alone by our wagon, which contained
all that my father and | owned in the
world" This incident, and his man
ner Of viewing it, was typical and
symbolical Of his entire career; for,
although his life was largely hedged
in by crowds and his career and des-
tiny wrought out in cooperation with
others, yet his essential self, the
thinking part. was passed in social
isolation.
When he had difficult case to de-
velop and mature he would be miss
Ing; this was more especially true Of
his life on the circuit, or when he de-
sired to make an extra effort he
would hide somewhere, and in
silence, isolation and secrecy, by re-
ilection and self-introspection mature
his plans. Nor would he have any
stated or especial place to conceal
himself; the unused back-room Of
law office, or an obscure corner OF a

Hor a lonely bedroom of some of the
travelling bar-tne obscure streets of
the village, or the woods or country
roads; each and all were alike and
serviceable, and equally put in requi-
sition by him; and by lonely drill and
mental discipline, he would grasp
and comprehend the whole scope and
plan, and all essential details Of the
case within the compass of his mind
In an orderly manner.

efforts in that line may warrant such

Mr. Lincoln was a model citizen, in
the sense OF being a citizen OF the
whole State, and ultimately of the
whole Nation, although, at the outset
OF his career, his affiliations were
purely local and Quadrated with
Sangamon alone. Yet, with larger
experiences, his social and political
horizon expanded and enlarged. and
he was no more intimately in touch
with the people OF Springfield or
Sangamon County than with those OF
Logan or Champaign. He deemed
himself 90 be as much obligated to
the people OF any other village in the
bestowment OF official or other favors
as 10 those at his immediate home.
In his appointments TO Office he who'll
ly ignored geographical lines, except
that, fearing the charge OF favoritism.
he Disseminated against his own
city: and none OF the judicial ap-
pointments for his own judicial dis
trict were from Springfield.
And in his entire administration at
Washington it was, in principle. the
same: he really wanted Cabinet
Minister-Judd-fr his own State.
but he considered that his State had
had enough consideration in his own
election. He had no more regard, in
the matter OF executive favors, for
Illinois than for Maine, Geograph-
ical proplnquity and social propin-
quity had no alliance in his mind;
his social area embraced the whole
State and ultimately the entire Ma
tion. His field was the world. He
dwelt I'm principles and institutions.
To him men were but agents or
media, to originate, promulgate or
enforce principles, and a mans local
ity had naught TO do with his ef-
fciency in that respect; and the acme
and high-water mark OF such social
pastimes as he allowed himself was
achieved on the circuit with the
boys" Cas we were called during
court-time.
This catholicity Gas contradistin-
guished from anything specially OF as
sociation and consequent failure TO
localize his social and political at
tachments, will serve 10 explain, I'm
some sort, the lack OF that ardent
sympathy for him at home which
sometimes (and especially on election
day in November, 1860 cropped out.
| The bitterness of partisan politics,
| especially on the part OF those who
deemed his anti-slavcry sentiments
as recusant 10 the land of his fathers,
aided this feeling, and his omission

considerable social alienation, and
prevented him from being. as abb
stractly and on his individual merits
he would have been, an ideally popu-
lar citizen. Not that he was unpop-
ular, but he should have been popu-

he was when news Of the location OF
the capital at Springfield reached the
then Insignificant little village.
He was a most rigid supporter OF
all laws, those which were conyen-

those which were vital; paid his
debts and taxes promptly; did not

Lame Rack Prescription.

Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the increased use OF whiekey for
lame back and rheumatism. IL is an
almost lnfallible cure when mixed
with certain other ingredients and
taken properly. The following is the
formula:
ITO one ounce OF Toris compound
and one ounce syrup Sarsaparilla COM
pound add one.half pint OF good whis-
key. Take In tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retir-
ting"
IL is surely worth trying by any
one who may be afflicted.

BUTTON BETRAYs MURDERER.

An ordinary coat button has just
led to the capture of murderer after
a search of many months.
On March 29 a postcard publisher
named Donald Farquharson Fleurot,
native of Mauritius, was found MUIR
dered in his Offices in Paris. Near the
body lay an overcoat bearing the mark
of a Brussels firm of outfitters. The
coat was much worn and had been fit-
ted with new buttons bearing a Bue-
nos Aires trade mark
Inquiries at Brussels were fruitless
The coat was then sent to Buenos
Aires, where, after painstaking
search, it was recognized by tailor
who did repairs for the customers OF
small hotel there. He had sewn
new buttons on the coat 10 months
ago for a Belgian named Knopkaert.
This mans movements were traced
through a local shipping Office to
Paris, and it was ascertained that he
was there at the time of the murder.
Investigation into Knopkaert's career
showed that he was a deserter from
the Belgian army Eventually he was
traced to Brussels and was arrested.
Charged with the murder of Fleurot,
he at once made full confession that
he had killed him in quarrel.

BAD CASE OF CANNIBALISM

A revolving case of cannibalism
was recently tried at Sherboro, south
east of Sierra Leone, and resulted in
the hanging of a paramount chief and
four of his mobiles" The men be-
1onged to one of the Leopard socie-
ties that were a source of great trou-
BILE to the neighborhood before they
were brought under hand by British
rule. The name is derived from the
practice of the members, who were
accustomed to hunt down their hui
man prey in leopard skins furnished
with large iron claws. The chief in
duced one of the men to kill little
boy, strengthening him for the pur-
pose with pagan rites. By means of
these it was sought to make the muir
derer's footsteps inaudible, to give
him courage for the deed. and to
make the place of the murder con-
veniently dark. After the foul deed
the dead body was taken to the chief
and his friends, who made short work
of it. After year the cannibals were
brought to justice, convicted of the
murder, and hanged.

Diet in Obesity.

The problem of reducing flesh Is
largely an individual problem as
What is one mans meat Is another
mans poison" Usually the reduction
of the diet by one-fifth with free use
of muscular exercise, the loss will be
slow, but any method which reduces
fat at rapid rate should be avoided.
When two-fifths of the regular food is
reduced, eating sparingly of fat and
bread with moderate exercise the re-
suits are never disagreeable. The loss
of one pound or little less in week
is all that should be desired.
Milk, bread, butter, sugar and po-
tatoes are all fattening, and should be
almost entirely eliminated from the
diet of the corpulent person, or eaten
very sparingly.
Oranges are a pleasant aid to the
woman who wants to grow thinner.
Take the juice of two sour oranges at
every meal. Use lemon juice for vim
egar; give up oil with salads. No
cream or sugar in coffee, sugarless
fruit DR.. Weir Mitchell advocates
draughts of skim milk for the safe
reduction of flesh
He states if taken plentifully at and
between meals it will reduce flesh
half pound day. This must be re-
membered is to be with dieting in 9th
er foods.
Baths taken in cold water each
morning on rising, with a vigorous
brushing with a flesh brush, will hep
accomplish the desired result.
No cereals, no hot breads, save dry
toast; no pork in any form; no veal,
and as little water as possible; more
at meals.
Some authorities claim that lit
tie food taken often is better than
larger amount at stated intervals, as
the food consumed is thus more east
ly kept under control.
All alcoholic stimulants should be
tabooed, water and mineral waters
may be regarded as harmless. Tea or
coffee with little milk: but no sugar
may be freely permitted

DOG HUNTS UP BOYS GRAVE.

How little Carlo, a brown and white
spotted dog, found the grave of his
dead young master, Stanley Green, a
Lebanon (Pa.) lad of 13, a mile
from Stanley's uncle's home here, no
body can guess.
Stanley, long an .nsererable com

weeks ago, and tae idevcsed dog was
permitted to follow The coffin to the
uncle's Reading home, but not to the
cemetery.
For days the little dog disappeared
for a day or two at time, and finally
the keeper of the cemetery discovered
him lying on Stanley's grave.
Friends were notified and the dog
was taken home; but every day he
returns to keep watch over the mound
and is half famished from his long
