rural carriers were compelled to 60
over their routes. In the public
school programs appropriate to the
occasion were given in all depart

APPLES IN BRAZIL.
Increased Sale Of American Fruit
Other ImportatiOns.

Consul General George f. Ander-
son reports from Rio de Janeiro. that
in spite of the general decrease in i'm
ports in Brazil during 1908 there was
an increase in imports of fresh fruit,
concerning which he says:
The imports of this class Of goods,
not always differentiated in the re-
turns from imports of fresh vegeta-
bes, amounted in the first 10 months
of 1908 to $644,0O5 as compared with
$619,495 in the same period Of 1901.
Much of this increase represents in
creased imports of apples from the
United States. Some Of this fruit has
come in the limited cold storage Of
fered by shipping coming this way,
but most of it has come packed with
ice in ships compartments, some OF
il coming without cold storage Of any
kind. The loss of fruit in the latter
method is great, but the expense OF
importing IT iced is also very great,
thetrip through thetropics in either
case being very destructive to fruit
or to ice. Prices brought by the fruit
here are very high, but the expense Of
importation, including the very high
import duties, are great. and the re-
sultng profit Is not out Of the ordi-
nary. Aside from imports Of apples

an average about 5000 skaters each.
X Is stated that the company finds it

popular enthusiasm for this pastime
Ten thousand pairs Of ball-bearing
steel-roller skates are provided for
the crowds attending the Olympia

airy it is estimated that more than
10000 pairs of skates will be in use
on the Kinks Of this single American
company.
There Is no doubt that the practice
will be increased and spread, and
that the demand for new skates of
the finest type and most up-to-date
pattern will be in general request in
all English cities. The attention Of
American manufacturers Is conse-
quently invited to this market at the
present time.

PERSONAL RENnNISCENCE
OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
,s..ssssssSssss
Try B C. Kidder.l

As the anniversary of the birth OF
one Of the worlds immortals, Abra-
ham Lincoln, is upon US and as his
fellow countrymen, especially, love
to dwell upon the least incident Of his
remarkable career, it occurred to me
TO give the following incident Of
which 1 was an observing participant:
1t happened while General McClel-
Ian was reforming and organizing the
Army Of the Potomac for his descent
upon Richmond in the following
spring. 1862. The general was CIV
ing the president and his cabinet his
last grand review in the fall Of 1861.
Now it so happened that the COM
pany to which l belonged was doing
picket duty, or outpost duty, near
place called Munson's hill, between
Washington and Fairfax, c. H., where
we were only about 40 rods from
the confederate lines We had line
of rifle pits in which we would lie
and fire whenever we could see a
head bob. around and they would do
the same, scarcely a day but what we
would send back a dead or wounded
man, or both.
We were relieved Of duty nearly
every two days, while we rested in
camp and cleaned up our accoutre-
mentg. We had come in from this
duty on the morning Of the day Of
the grand review. hence our time was
limited IN which TO get our guns
and things in presentable shape. But
the BOYS were 50 anxious to look up
on "Old Abe" that they would attend
that review If they never had any
rest.
SO after furnishing up as best we
could. we found ourselves in line In
front Of as distinguished a body OF
persons as stood upon the earth that
day or any other day, before or
since.
Pre-eminent. towering above them
ALL mentally and bodily, was Abra-
ham Lincoln. There was VIM. IL.

nothing if not spectacular
After the incident of Mr.. Lincoln's
little Tad and the pony, for it was
on this review that incident happen
ed, the army opened ranks for in
spection by the commanding general,
accompanied by the president. They
slowly passed down the line, Mr.. Lin
coin giving a nod, a smile and occa-
sionally a word Of encouragement,
and the general now and then taking
soldiers gun and commenting on
its condition.
As they slowly approached our pO-
sition It became quite evident that
Company &C" was getting very ner-
vous, for was not our guns in the
worst possible shape? And surely they
would notice them and-they did.
That is just what Mcclellan did.
young man, what ails your gun?'
right before the president Of the Uni.
ted States. (My vote went for Mr..
Lincoln when he ran for presiden,
next time)
While the general was examining
some Of our guns and telling US what
10 do, the president was kindly ask
ing US when we went on duty, when
we came off, etc. As they turned
away, Mr.. Lincoln says: well, gem
eral. I am not certain that you ar/ I
would do any better"
Thus it was those little trifles in
the makeup Of the man, those little
words Of kindness, that made him
beloved by all with whom he came in
contact.

est nations of Europe have their rep
resentatives here, and the soldiers of
each legation have their own dress.
one sees the Cossack in his fur cap,
long coat and high boots; the Japan
csc in khaki: the French officer look
ing as though he came from a band
box, and at the British legation the
bare-kneed H~ighlanders who march
to the sound Of the baSpipes as they
go through the streets. In all, there
are more than eighteen hundred SOL
diers and officers in charge of this
camp. They are tried men and ready
to shoot at command. Each legation
has quarters for it's soldiers and each
has its own ammunition and guns,
as we'll as stores of food in case of a
siege.
Uncle Sam Held the Key.
In the scheme Of defense of this
little world city, Uncle Sam has per
haps the most important position.
The soldiers of the several legations
have their own places. which they
are to take charge Of in case of siege.
There is d secret scheme OF defense,
and this is discussed from week to
week by the commanders, who meet
and give their views as to
should be gone hould trouble arise.
In the event of a rebellion the senior
commander would be chosen as chief,
and one of our officers would report
to him as aid.
AS it is now, the United States ma
rines have the most strategic position,
and practically hold the key to the
defense. 1t is their duty to guard the
great wall at the west end Of the lega-
ton city. They have the section run
ming from the middle of the south
wall to the Chen Men gate, while the
Germans guard the remaining section
of that wall running to the Hata-men
gate. Each has its own guard house,
and our marines march up and down
this wall day and night. AS darkness
approaches they close the iron gates
which shut off the wall back of the
legation from it's extension around
the city. A sergeant and three men
are always on guard; two of them re-
main in the guard house, and relieve
each other from watch to watch.
Our marines are not allowed to talk
while on duty. but standing here be-
side them, We can easily see how they
command the whole city. They have
artillery on the wall, and a great
Is~torehouse of powder and other am
munition inside it. Tables have been
made which give the range Of every
important point in the legation quar-
ter and of the Chinese and tartar
cities from the gate Of Chen Men;
and with these tables, our
marines have the whole city
at their mercy. They can
shell any building Of the palace
and all Of the great government de-
nartments. They could easily send
hal,s into the Temple of Heaven; and
With red hot shot they could, in a
yerv short time, reduce the whole
city to ashes.
At present the forces Of Uncle Sam
is less than that of some other ma
tione. We have only one hundred
and fifty marines, while the BRUSH
