 The bull, thus suddenly released, stood gazing toward boy and dog for few seconds, then shaking his head, from which blood was flowing, for Bingo's teeth had pierced one of the animals ears, he slowly turned and made off to- ward the little grove In the pasture.
 And 1t was a thrilling story of Bingos bravery, intelligence and strength that Archie told his father that evening on returning home. And after hearing the account of Archie's close call at the horns of a bull MT. Smith said feelingly: 'Bingo's well worth his board and keep, son, and from henceforth shall be one of the family"
 And Of course Archie and Blngo were both very happy over this verdict.

The brave old dog-a powerful fellow in size and strength-had caught him by the ear and was holding on for dear lifes sake. In vain did the bull try to shake him off, Bngo only fastened his long teeth the firmer and held fast. The bull was infuriated, but Bingo was calm, so the latter had the best of it.
 Then Archie began to call and whistle to Bingo to come to him. He can drop off the bulls ear and gain the fence before the bull can reach him." he said to himself. Come, Blngo! Come, fel- low" Then he whistled again. And in response to the masters call Bingo suddenly let loose the bulls ear and came with lightning-like bounds to the

There is story often told to illus
trate the manner in which President
Lincoln was besieged by commission
seekers. Hearing that a brigadier
general and his horse had been cap
tured and the general taken to Rich
mond, he asked eagerly about the
horse.
THE horse," exclaimed his in
formant. You want to know about
the horse?"
Yes" said Lincoln. Il can make a
brigadier any day, but the horse was
valuable"
To this John Russell Young, in his
memoirs, adds a similar tale. He
was calling upon Lincoln one day at
the White House.

remarked.

~ passed away. The civil war
has been over long time. This
is & new century Of other man
ners and new activities. Yet there is
nothing remote about the name and
fame OF Lincoln. He is close to US,
and growing closer. Here, as every.
where, the observation OF the day in
cTeases year by year.
The explanation OF this eXtraOr.
binary fact is at once simple and salts
factory 1t is that the American peo-
pie never appreciated Lincoln while he
was alive. When he was taken away
from US We began TO see him as he
was. We are now beginning 10 appre-
ciate him.
Many loved Lincoln devOtedly while
he was alive. Others saw that he was
q thoroughly good man. But in general
even those who loved him and those
who trusted him utterly failed to
realize that he WAS as great as ne was
good
The failure of Lincoln 10 win the ap-
probation OF those who had every
chance TO judge him seems incredible
to US now. Nevertheless. one NAV haz-
ard a guess as to the beliuIing power
OF intimacy in his case.
Never in the history NJ the world
was there a great man so entirely and
consistently his natural self. He was
homely and ungainly and poorly
dressed-and ne knew it, and joked
about It. He was entirely sef-made-
and he was not proud Of the job He
was ambitiOus-and frankly admitted
It. He was so modest, so honest. and
so easy" that not a few thought he
must be simple-minded
Traits like these are not evidences
of genius in the mind OF the common
people, who prefer that their idols
shall pose. Stephen A Douglas, Lin

and dubbed him the Little Giant"
