Weasels the Pets Of Trappers.

In the Macmillan region an adult
male Arctic weasel was taken in a
cabin near the mouth of Russell creek.

small holes of the floor and quietly
surveyed a party of us as we sat in
the candlelight one evening after sup
per. 1t then vanished for a moment
and reappeared with its mate, and
the pair ran about the room for some
minutes as unconcernedly as If we had
not been there. Later in the night,
after we had gone to bed, it stepped
into trap set in the corner of the
room and awoke us by its shrill cries.
Trappers encourage weasels to live
about their cabins, making pets OF

MRS. LINCOLN OUTWITS HER

Mrs. Lincoln played good joke

Major Bittinger. Those trips often
took several weeks at a time.
"On one of these trips Lincoln
was gone for about four weeks. He

his horse, he dismounted at the

LINCOLN WAS NATIONAL

This frontiersman of Illinois, who
was familiar with the natural re-
sources of Iowa, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Kansas and the
new West at large, had only to use
his mind and his imagination to see
that slavery was in hopeless posi-
ton, and that the worst thing that
could befall the South would be a
successful secession. For it was OBJ
vious on little thought that the
future of every country must de-
pend upon the quality of its popula-
ton. Meanwhile, the great West
was becoming rich and powerful
through the opportunities it gave to
hundred young men and women
from New England and the Eastern
States and to countless thousand
from the British Isles, Germany, and
other European lands. The slavery
system, on the other hand, was not
only keeping white immigrants from
the South, but was also keeping the
great majority of the Southern
white people ignorant and poor,
massing them in the uplands and
mountain districts. , With the sue
cess of secession there would have
been a practical if not a legal re-
opening of the foreign slave trade
and the growth of the labor class, =
that is to say, of negro slaves. Thus
in the case of a future war with the
North and West, the fighting
strength of the South would have
been fatally impaired through its
relative loss of white population,
while the West would have been
rich, populous, and dominant. The
growth of negro population would
have brought increasing danger of
race conflict, and a possible repeti-
ton in parts of the South of the
history of San Domingo. The War
was better than that.
Thus, all the scientific facts in the
situation were against disunion, and
Lincoln had a keener instinct for
their practical appreciation than any
other public man of his time. JEFF
ferson and others of the early South
ern statesmen had grasped the same
ideas; but the cotton raisers and the
technical constitutional lawyers of
generation later than jefferson, lost
the power to see facts in their large
bearings. Lincoln was not North
ern; he was not Southern; he was
not Western; he was simply national,
and he happened to be wholly and
entirely right. So much for Lin
coins craftsmanship. 1t was broad
and strong, and its principles were
for the welfare of all parts of the
nation. From THE Progress of the

THE DAIRY BUSINESS is PROF,
TABLE.

George l.. Freestone, the dairy
man, sends in the following report
for the month of January:
From herd of seventeen cows,
of which twelve cows were milked
the sum Of $l30.50 was realized for
butter fat sold.
Mr.. Freestone estimates that one,
half ton of hay was fed to each COW
for the month, and that the SKINNED
milk paid for labor and the delivery
of cream.
Mr.. Freestone also states that
he will realize $l,600.00 worth OF
butter fat from his herd of seven
teen cows for the year ending March
1, 1909"
From the above report it appears
that the dairy business is profta,
BILE one in the Gila Valley, and one
which deserves more attention from
our farmers. There is very little
doubt but that others can be just as
successful as Mr.. Freestone, if they
will show the same attention to the
dairy business.
Mr.. Freestone estimated that one
half ton of hay was fed to each cow,
For seventeen cows for the year end
ing March 1st, the total amount OF
hay fed was 102 tons, which was
worth $15.6S in stack, or $lS.le
loaded on the car.
Hay at $500 per ton is certainly
good money, and if one farmer can
accomplish this figure for his hay by
going into the dairy business, others
should be able to do so.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

To-day, February 18th, all over
this broad land, knowing no sec
tional bounds, the people are honor
ing the memory of the great Liber'
ator, Abraham Lincoln.
The North and South, the East
and West, join hands in the celebra
ton of the centenary of the birth Of
Lincoln, the man, the leader, the
martyr.
Not in all our history have we had
a man in public life whose sense OF
duty to the people was stronger, OF
who treated all who came before
him, friend or foe, with such perfect
fairness.
To quote from a leading writer on
Lincoln:
"One cannot read of Abraham Lin
coin without loving him. One can
not think of his struggles, of his life
and its tragic end, without weeping
One cannot study his efforts, his
conscience, his heroism, his patriot,
ism, and the burdens of bitter at
tack and calumny under which he
suffered, and think of the place he
now occupies in the history of this
country, without moral inspiration
of the most stirring and intense
character"
Graham guardian., 1909-02-12
THE LIVING LINCOLN

How well | remember when Lin.
coin lived at Petersburg, Illinois
carrying the chain for surveyors
party and working for seventy-five
cents a day. The surveyors wife
told me that she often saw him
studying at night, seated on the eel.
lar door, reading Blackstone often
until midnight by the light of the
moon.
Lincoln always took note of the
light and dark moons, as is shown
by an incident which occurred dur.
ing his early practice of law. A
murder was committed in the neigh.
borhood of the village, and the son
of the surveyors wife was arrested
on suspicion from the testimony of
an EYE witness" In the mean
time Lincoln had swung out his
shingle as a lawyer, at Springfield,
and on this occasion nobly did he
prove that the kindness of the sur
veyor was not forgotten by the
student who read Blackstone by the
moonlight.
He went to the Jail and questioned
the young prisoner, who asserted
his innocence, and Lincoln took up
the case.
At the trial the witness swore
that he saw the murder committed.
Might you not be mistaken"
asked Lincoln. "A dim light is de-
ceptive, and it was dark night"
The witness hastened to reiterate
that it was bright moonlight, where
upon Lincoln promptly pulled from
among his books an almanac, and
said calmly:
1T is not necessary for me to
make plea, for no jury can place
any reliance on a witness who will
swear that it was a moonlight night
when the almanac proves that it
was the dark of the moon. Dam

there was church. He never had
been in a college, and had attended
school hardly more than six months
in all. He welcomed the four dol

biggest pay he ever had received.
In fact, he had not averaged four

HOW LINCOLN BECAME A
LEADER

Lincoln's neighbors in Illinois,
from his first appearance among
them, respected him for his strength
of character as swell as for his
strength of body. If a wagon stalled
in the crooked, muddy lane, which
was the only street of New Salem,
he was among the first to go to the
aid of the driver. If a widow were
in need of firewood, he cut it for
her. He watched with the sick, and
any chance for kindness, from split
ting a log to rocking cradle, found
his hand always ready to serve. If
he made a mistake in weight or
change across his counter, he did
not sleep until he had corrected the
error, though sometimeshe tramped
miles into the country in order to
find the customer whom he had in
nocently wronged. All relied On his
sincerity, and thus, while hardly
more than a boy, he came to be
hailed as Honest Abe"

duced a certain whitening in flour, he
said. By chemical means this change
of tint could be produced Immediately
so far as appearance was concerned
and perfectly new flour made to look
like an old one. In the highest grades
of flour the inner or whitest part of
the berry is separated mechanically.
DR.. Wiley then related the various
processes used in chemically treating
flour.
1.-THE atmosphere itself, probably
due to the presence of ozone, pro-
duces in few months practically the
same effect so far as color is con-
cerned as is produced by the bleaching
process" said DR.. Wiley, but in adj
dition to the bleaching of the flour
other changes go on which in the
mindsof a great many consumers i'm
prove it's quality. Therefore there Is
a general impression, probably found
ed upon fact, that old flour, or at
least certain flour ground from old
wheat, is superior to new flour or
flour made from freshly grown
wheat"

pected on the floor of the National
Conservation congress Saturday was
served by Ex-Governor Pardee of Cal
ifornia this afternoon, when he in
formed the convention committee on
resolutions that he would be unable
to report at the opening session to-
morrow and asked when the report is
submitted that time be allowed for a
discussion. There will be a majority
and minority report, and 1 want to
speak now for time to carry the con-
test to the floor of the convention"
Prospects for hostilities were so
pleasing to the delegates that they
voted to give adequate time for the
discussion when the report of the
committee on resolutions is submit
ted. Contrary to expectations, the
PinchOt- Ballinger controversy is not
the cause of the present dissension.
The pending contest is over the adop-
ton of a resolution similar to the wa
ter right resolution adopted at the
Spokane irrigation congress favoring
government control of power sites. A
majority of the committee favor the
adopting of the Spokane resolution
that the government permanently re-
linquish its hold on the power sites to
applicants for water rights.
At the morning session speeches
were delivered by Pinchot and MCGEE
At the afternoon session speeches were
made by Barrett, Pardee and Finley
