"Father heard him speak the same evening The
impression which Lincoln's manner of speech made
upon him was of something very deliberate and

voice"
Two years afterward Mr. Volk saw him again.
He was in Chicago conducting a law case. The
young sculptor determined that he would remind him
of his promise.

HE had his foot the edge of the table and his
long dark hair stuck out about him if it had been
uncombed for week"
He greeted the sculptor cordially, smiling at him
with his beaming dark eyes. He remembered his
promise and it arranged that he should come to
the studio the following Thursday.
"But I'll have to go to a barber and have my hair
cut before come" he said.
I told him that I would rather that he would leave
it as it was" the sculptor is related to have

On the appointed morning he appeared punctually.

my fathers first meeting with Lincoln was in 1858
on one occasion when they stopped at Blooming
ton. The party went to the only hotel While
they sitting in the office after SUPPER Lincoln
entered. My father used to describe hirn as having
old carpet bag in his hand and a weather beaten
silk hat on his head apparently large for him.
He had long, loosely fitting frock coat of black
alpaca with vest and trousers of the same material
He walked up to the counter, passed the carpet bag
over and asked pleasantly if he late for supper
The clerk replied that he was but thought that
thing might be scared up.
All right, said Lincoln, I don't want much
His clothes were very dusty, and he commenced to
dust himself when several of his friends rushed in to
see him. How are you, Old Abe? was the way they
greeted him. Lincoln shook each hand with both of
his in his usual way. His smile was of the broadest
and peasantest kind 1t the first time my father
had seen him closely On the following day he met
him.
"At Springfield my father got another impression of
Lincoln which he forgot The train had stopped
and the people in the direction of the staging
them climbed the fence and crossed the field to take
short cut. Lincoln went, too and my father drew a
word picture of the TALL lean figure of immense strides
with carpet bag and umbrella, and coat tails flying in
the breeze The gaunt angular form, with the head
I'D forward, appeared to him to be much over the
balance, like the leaning Tower of Pisa. My father
tried to keep pace with that furious speed over the
stubble field, till Lincoln came to a rail fence. He
lost sight of him then The angular figure had leaped
over it as nimbly as boy

ing of the casts and bust These casts described
by Truman Bartlett Gn the Life of Lincoln" with
which he connected) the second event in the
history Of American art He held the first to be the
taking Of the Houdin mask of Washington.
Mr.. Volk sat back upon his chair and, regarding
the cast which before him, said:-
"After making many studies of Lincon's head, the
thing which strikes most forciby about It is the
superb harmony which exists between its different
parts. Every apparent exaggeration is beautifully
balanced by adjacent forms and proportions Lincoln
was fine and imposing in similar way in which
mountain is beautiful with all its crags and guIies.

cat the same time, however, am aware that the
general view is that, according to conventional
standards of beauty, Lincoln was homely man. In
this relation my father used to tell an amusing ex-
perience.
"He was surprised by the visit one day of a little
nervous man hailing from Oshkosh, Wis, who alb
rupty walked into his studio, saying that clerk in
his dry goods store wanted him to hand father $40 for
statuette of Douglas. The little remarked that
he republican himself and asked If father had
anything of Lincoln 1t after the time of
the sitting, and father showed him the recently
pleted likeness. He looked at it moment and then
said, Well-he's too d homely to buy, but I'll
vote for him just the samer and out he went.

Henry Clews faced an audience Of
suffragettes at the Masonic Temple,
Brooklyn, and told why he thought
women should not be allowed to vote.
When Mr.. Clews returned TO his seat
things began to happen. Between one-
half and two. thirds of the audience arose
as one woman and demanded reasons.
Mr. Clews declared he came to make an
address and not answer questions or enter
in;o a DEBATE. The women were not
satisfied, and debate of ten minutes to
the side, was finally arranged between the
chairman Of the executive committee OF
the Women's Auti-Suffrage League, and
defender of the woman's suffrage move
ment, who exchanged views pro and con,

A Philosophers Fable.

Arthur Aull is responsible for this
one:
Folly, Genius and Common Sense
once went walking and came to a
stream. Genius. having his head in
the clouds, naturally started to wade
across, paying no attention to the
depth. The waters soon went over his
head, and he was drowned. Common
Sense hunted for safe way to get
across, and finally he found a foot log
As he got out about the center Of the
stream the log swayed. and he fell into
the water and sank to rise no more.
Folly stopped at the bank Of the
stream to amuse himself by throwing
pebbles into the water and watching
the waves. He sat upon the moist,
cold bank until he caught a cold which
developed into pneumonia, of which
he soon died. Mofal.-It doesn't make
much difference, after all, whether
you are genius, sage or fool.
You'll get it sooner or later anyway"

The reply was. For managing the

An Independents Miller.

When Frederick built his famous
palace of Sans Souci there happened
to be mill that greatly hampered him
in the execution of his plans, and he
asked the miller for hoy much he
would sell it. The miller replied that
for long series of years"his family
had owned the mill, which had passed
from father to son, and that he would
not sell it for any price. The king
used every solicitation, offered to build
him a mill in better place and pay
him, besides, any sum he might de-
mand, but the obstinate miller still per-
sisted in his determination to preserve
the inheritance Of his ancestors.
Irritated at last by his conduct, the
king sent, for him and said in an an
CRY tone:
'Why do you refuse to sell your mill
notwithstanding all the advantages /
have offered you?"
The miller repeated his reasons.
''Do you know continued the king,
shat could take it without giving
you penny"
NsYes," returned the miller calmly, "if
it were not for the chamber Of justice
at Berlin"
The king was so battered by this an
swer, which showed that he was inca
pable of an act of injustice, that he
dismissed the miller without further
entreaty and changed the plan of his
garden.

HOOKING ALLIGATORS.
A Florida Sport With an Element of
Uncertainty In Il.

A Florida Sport With an Element Of
Uncertainty In Il.
Hunting alligators at night with a
bullseye lantern and shotgun is tame
sport compared with what is called a
gator hunt in Florida" said an old
Floridian who is visiting New York.
Il mean the feat of capturing an ALI
gator alive and then towing the fellow
to high ground through mud and water
from what is called in Florida ga
tor hole.
"The gator fishermen first find the
hole, which is indicated by an opening
In the surrounding grass In the midst
of dense growth of vegetation, where
the ground is worn smooth by the al
ngator in his pulls in and out. Some
times these gator holes are in the ma
ture Of cave in the bank Of stream
and may be fifteen or twenty feet
deep, and If SO it is not an easy matter
to get the animal out.
1.-THE fisher is supplied with long
pole with metal hook on the end.
He takes strong rope and throws it
about the entrance Of the hole. Then
the fisher rams with the hooked pole
down the den and waits and listens.
II he finds a gator in the hole he
teases the beast by poking him until
the gator In rage finally grabs the
hooked pole and is pulled from the
den. 1t is with uncertainty that he is
dragged forth, for 1t is not known
whether the catch is large or small.
The fisher does not know whether to
get into shape to run or to fight. Out
the gator comes, believing and roar
ing mad.
After the gator is dragged to the
surface he. in his rage turns and rolls
and finally twists himself up in the
rope or moose that has been previously
prepared. With the assistance Of the
others in the party. the gators legs
and mouth are tied and the gator is a
prisoner.
The gator is for the most part
caught in marshes where the ground is
soft and slushy and too wet for either
horse or wagon to enter. The fishers
are compelled to carry their catch to
higher ground, there to be loaded into
the waiting wagon, and the hunt is
ended. New York Sun.
