LINCOLN.
BY n. S. SHEFFIELD.

Sweet to our memory Is the thought Of thee
q noble son Of the rough, uncultured Wild
Thou who didst make the lowly b0ndman free:
Thou who didst die martyre OF liberty.
Thy life OF sweet unselishness was undecided:
And now nation rejoicing in thy memory,
Pays it's sweetest tribute Of love to thee
Deep were the sorrows that grieved thy tender heart
Aud great the that furrowed thy patient brow
AS up through tribulation thou didst rise,
Step by step, till hono.'s nobiest prize
Lay 1t thy feet, where nation loves to bow,
With tenderest feelings thrilling each loyal heart
Aud memories that shall abide, and meier depart.
Time hath on ward rolled-a hundred years
Yet memory, sweet, of thee, still fingers fresh
The world hath prouder grown since thy low birth,
nt year by year it learns Of thy priceless worth,
For thou livest still In deeds-not in the flesh.
And now nation greets thy name with cheers.
Mingled with devotion's falling tears
Centuries shall come and go, and ages pass
With times Of peace and times Of cruel war,
And men shall learn to live In deeds Of right:
Shall learn TO rule With justice, not by might;
For justice heals deep wounds, and leaves no scar
Aud nations shall perish like the whitening grass;
But thy name shall endure. revered unto the last.

Hundreds of corn clubs have been organized in Texas. Nearly every set clement or beat has one. These clubs consist of farmers boys, and each club offers a prize for the greatest amount of corn grown on one acre.
 The boys of a club adopt the deep blowing and thorough fertilizing of the demonstration farms of the general government. The average harvest last year of these boy-club one-acre farms in Texas was 70 bushels an acre, and the banner yield was 120 bushels.
 The Williamson plan has gained no foothold in Texas. The land Is plowed 12 inches deep, is fully fertil- ized and is cultivated in accordance with the methods of the scientists at Washington. The prize and the honor of the best crop is an incentive, and the boys leave no stone unturned to make a fine crop.
 Several hundred of similar clubs in Alabama would be useful in overcom- ing the archaic ideas of farming. Twenty in each of the 67 counties would not be too many. And these clubs should be left free to adopt the Williamson plan or the government plan. Either would lead to fine results and better farming. Who will organ ize the first one-acre boy corn club in Alabama?

reached. The revolution in Turkey may go on in like manner long time, and the moslem fanatics-and particu- larly the army will become factors in the settlement. And so will Abdul Hamid and so will the reformers known as Young Turks. It will not be easy to efface eonstitutionalism in Tur- key and in the long run it cannot be done.
 The crafty and shrewd Sultan can not regain his old power, and if the Young Turks seize Constantinople the crafty old autoerat will be dispensed with altogether. The mistake of last year will not be repeated. Abdul Hamid will either become Turkeys autocrat, or he will be banished from the country that he has ruled thirty years.

A DOCTORS AUTOMOBILE.

From the New York World.
 London surgeon stopped by the police for over-speeding while hasten ing in an automobile to perform an operation made the plea when sum- moned to court that if he had not been delayed he could have saved the pa- tient's life.
 The argument is interesting as a contribution to the new ethical prob lems raised by the new mode of loco- motion. If the mans fate hung on so small a margin of time. it is clear he could not have been saved in the days when doctors made their rounds in gigs. Considering the time-saving and consequently the life-saving benefits of an automobile, must a conscientious doctor possess one in order that he may render the promptest service to his patients. and should the profession be exempt from the ordinary speed-law restrictions when travelling on an err rand of mercy?
 The London magistrate refrained from imposing a penalty, but in dis missing the complaint said tho police were justified in bringing the facts to his notice.

The Dead Actress.

There is a tender thought that comes to me in thinking of Kdeth Wakeman as Lady Macbeth with the Ben Greet players, In connection with the burial of Modjeska, the great Polish actress, whose remains are en route to her birthplace, Crocow," said a student of Shakespeare.
 "Modjeska was. before Miss Wakeman, perhaps the best Lady Macbeth that had played the part. Miss Wakeman had only one advantage, an English tongue where as Madame Modjeska had a slight for eign accent which was rather pronounced in the stronger lines. But Modjeska was indeed superb in other parts where her accent did only add a charm. Take her Ophelia. She played it well up to Booths Hamlet one occasion, even the abIest crit ics have said, and the blonde Polish actress melted Into the part as sweet ened wax in strong sunlight finds it place in an artists mould.
 ''Modjeska made the part of Rosalind the idealzed type of its creator and none, not even our lovely Mary could wear the boys attire, under the woodland shade, with just the naive charm of the fair ex- ile of the land of romantic sorrows and oppression-a land whose sons and daugh- ters, like the grape in the wine press, have often quickened the thoughts, stirred the blood of others far from the parent vine.'

POETS OF PROGRESS.
New York World.

From the New 1ork World
 The "intellectuals' were quick to see the danger of reaction after Waterloo. Haz- lit went into debauch from disappoint- ment at Napoleon's downfall. Byron and Shelley won as much dislike by political as by religious heresles. Trevelyan records that Ito profess Liberal views was to be hopelessly excluded from all posts of emolument from all functions of dignity, from the opportunities of business. from the amenities of society" Southey's apostasy from Liberalism won the hate of many of his peers. Carlyle, who sided with the Chartists, caused sorrow by turn ing Tory later, when nearly every reform the Chartists demanded was being en- acted into law.
 The alliance of worldngmen who were Liberals by instinct with poets and philos- ophers was as marked in England In 184o as it was in France, Germany and Italy in 1S4S and later. Swinburne was the last of the giants of that period. By 24 years he outlived Victor Hugo. to whom he dedicated his "Ode on the Declaration of the French Republic;'' by 37 years Mazzini. to whom his "song of Italy, was inscribed.
 Of all political intellectuals the poet Is most sure of remembrance. No one now speaks of s. G. Howe's services for Greece but his wife, Julia Ward Howe, by "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" made her name unforgettable. The Amer can Stillman's work for the Balkan states won no lasting fame because he stirred Europe only through newspaper letters.
 With Swinburne 1t will be the political rhymes that will longest live. Yet In it's very opulence his genius fights against itself. What army will really sing a marching song of 225 lines? "Koerner's Hymn and Rouget de TIsle's 'Marseil- laise' go better. Korner and de PIsle both marched as well as sang. Swim burne's marching was figurative-which did not prevent his song from being pow CT. No words have surpassed the brutal directness of his Dead men, what of the night?' or the venom of his bidding dead King Ferdinand "Go down to he'll this end is good to see.'
 A small portion of Swinburne's work, the product of his passionate youth, his poems of progress. will outlive all the marvellous music of his classic studies. Brotherhood and sympathy arc keys of fame.

The Music Festival.

Great interest should be felt in the ap- preaching music festival, not only in what We call musical circles. but among the public at large' said a business man.
 ",rhe festival will attract hundreds of visitors to the city. The railroads will sell cheap tickets, and if festival week. next week-brings us good weather we may expect a huge crowd of out-of-town people.
 "A glance at the programme shows that the music will be brilliant and varied. Nothing dry or heavx will be heard. Dam- rosch will not only direct his orchestral numbers but he will direct the local choruses as well.
 ''Richmond is enthusiastic over Dam rosch, as well it may be. The Wednes- day club, which is the choral organiza- tion of Richmond had for Its previous fes- tivals employed Mollenhauers orchestra of Boston. This season for the first time the club engaged Damrosch, and this sea- son, too, for the first time in years, the festival was big financial succes. In the spring of 1908 the Wednesday clubs def felt was 5000. This month, under Dam- rosch, not only was there no deficit, but net profit of s100o. On the last night of the festival. according to the Richmond papers, the auditorium was overcrowded The audience numbered fully 4Ooo souls, and nearly 1000 were turned away. Dam rosch and his orchestra will draw when nothing else will"

St. VlDCent'S Hospital

An additional wing to St. Vincents hospital is greatly needed and the need is about to be supplied. This addition will cost S50,000, but as soon as $25,0O0 is raised here the work will proceed, the Sisters of Charity providing the other S25,O0o. Such a generous propo- sition as the Sisters make will assur- edly meet with a prompt response on the part of the people of the Birming- ham district.
 Representative citizens have become actively interested in the movement for enlarging the hospital, and when the canyassers for subscriptions start out they should find their work easy. Of the s25,OOO to be raised in Birming- ham, S7000 is already in bank and three or four thousand dollars mere is in sight. The citizens committee will have to raise, therefore, only about S14,OOO or $15,000 in order for the wing to be erected.
 The original plans of the architect called for an east wing, and when this wing shall have been erected the hos pital will stand complete so far as architectural symmetry goes. But so popular is St. Vincent's and so press ing is the demand upon it that other additions will be necessary, perhaps, within the next four or five years. To- day, however, it is the east wing that must be built, and every man in this community should deem it privilege and a pleasure to contribute.

East Lake Park.

Already East Lake has donned its sum- mer garb. The trees are clothed in foli- age and the grass is rich green. The lake seems prettier than ever, glossed by soft April skies," said an enthusiastic lover of outdoor life.
 'The grounds have been dressed up and the walks covered with rolled chert. The Casino will be used by vaudeville and picture show company. The 'Superba' will be used as penny arcade. On one side of the entrance will be a barbecue hot lunch booth. The boats have been over hauled and were in much demand Sun day afternoon.
 'On May there is to be a grand fete day for children with benefit for the Boys Industrial school at East Lake. The park management and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company have agreed to give liberal percentage of the days receipts to this most worthy insti- tuition"

PRIDE OF ANCESTRY IN MOBILE.
The Arstocracy Indifferent to Social
 Aspirations of the Newrich.

". E. Curtis in Chicago Record Herald.
 Mobile. Ala.-There is not as much i'm provement in the appearance at Mobile as in several other cities of the south, although the residence section, and par ticulariy Government street, where the aristocraSy live, Is being extended quite rapidly with stately houses, and down town there are least two new skyscrapers. Mobile has been the most exclusive and the proudest of all the cities of the south, and several of the most conspicuous fam- flies in New York city have come from here.
 Several northern mlllionaires have found their wives in Mobile, with more or less happiness and satisfaction. Tho social statutes here are still as rigid as they are in Charleston, and uppertendom is still inclined to be self-satised and in- different to the social aspirations of those who possess lately acquired fortunes, and have not been accustomed to wear crests. There is something admirable in the pride of ancestry. We have a right to be grateful for our fathers and mothers If we choose, and to be still more grate- full if the characters and careers of our grandparents and great grandparents do us credit.
 Ancestral destruction goes further in Mobile, however, than in most other towns. The mixture of Spanish and French blood has not entirely dsap- peared, and it may still be traced by names if not by faces. The same family vanity and loyalty that is found in Charleston and Savannah, and the same preference for their own kin, is exempli- fled among the old residents here, and the ladies of household are apt to in- quire as to the parentage and connec- tions of a man or a woman before either is admitted to an inner circle.

InSOleDce of the Fast

The south and the west desire an in- come tax. There can be no question about that. The income tax proposed by Senator Bailey would be accepted in a referendum in every state west of and including Ohio and in every state south of the Ohio and the Potomac.
 Shall the effete east be permitted to negative this desire of the west and the south? Senator Bailey proposes a per cent tax on all incomes exceed ing S5000, with few exceptions named by the supreme court. Such a tax could be justly borne, and yet the self ish east grows rich by unjust indirect taxation, levied on the west and the south, says no such tax shall be levied.
 It would seem as if the hour had come for the west and the south to as- sert themselves. If New England and the middle eastern states constitute and countrol this country, making its laws and naming its taxes, then in deed the great west and the equally broad south are powerless, and they should know it.
 Senator Aldrich says no income tax shall be adopted. Senator Hale says ditto, so does Senator Lodge. These three men defy the people of the west and the south with cool assurance and sly tactics. They do not stop to plead a five-by-four decision of the supreme court. They simply say they do not want an income tax, and they will not report one. What is the rest of the country going to do about it2

From the Washington Herald
 "Elihu Vedder, the noted painter, lives in Rome, where he has a beautiful apart ment, and in Capri, where his white villa looks down on the sea- said Jackson H. Rimers, an artist of New York. at the Riggs, recently. He is as bohemian as ever. Fame has not spoiled him. I visited him a few years ago. and his bohemian ways were delightful
 You know they tell story of visit he once paid to Alma Tadema in Lon don-to Alma Tadema in that glittering house which Mrs. A T.'s money, made in grateful comforting cocoa, bought The morning after his arrival, very early, before the servants were up, Vedder be- gan a thunderous knocking on his hosts sandalwood door.
 Alma Tadema turned in his gold bed, threw back the lace coverlet, and sat up.
 Who's there? What is it?" he cried, In startled voice. T say, Tadema, shouted Vedder, where do you keep the scissors that you trim your cuffs wfth?' :"

Marked Deterioration.

"Shakespeare's plays do not draw as they did 15 or 20 years ago." said an old time theatre man. Forty years ago Shakespearean drama led in popularity. Any fairly good company playing Shakes peare could count on fairly good house, and Edwin Booth and other eminent &C., tors always played Shakespeare to ca pacity houses.
 q have been hearing of marked de- terioratlon of taste or brains on the part of present-day theatergoers, but I never expected to live to see the time when so excellent a company as the Ben Greet players would appear in Birmingham to empty benches. We had three fine per- formances at the 'Macb beth, : Merchant of Venice. and Ham let The public was familiar with the high standing of the Ben Greet company. and yet all three of the audiences dtd not total 800 people.

Optimism In Wall Street.

Henry Clews in his financial review of Saturday says in part
 Speculation for the rise has been more active, and at times decidedly buoyant feeling was displayed in the stock mar ket. Easy money, increasing activity of business and lessened anxiety regarding tariff legislation were the main influences at work. Of these cheap money was of course the most important. Idle funds are accommodating and bankers have ex- treme difficulty in finding satisfactory employment for deposits left in their charge While such ease has it's encour- aging features, especially as any good borrower can now secure ample funds for legitimate purposes. still there Is the double danger of either unduly stimulat- ing speculation or fostering an imprudent granting of credit; two evils that would surely invite unpleasant consequences later on. At the moment, however, an op- timistic tone prevails in Wall street which is being skilfuHy encouraged by mar ket leaders. Europe is also taking part, especially London, where money Is un- usually easy, and the prevalent disposi- tion seems to favor speculation in Amer ican securieies''
