Poo-Bah In Real Life.

A counterpart of Poo-Bah has been
found in New Jersey. The town of
Beverly has elected a new constable
whose pay Is to be SIS month. In
addition to his constabulary work,
the incumbent of this overpaid sine
cure must also serve as pound-keeper,
harbor master and overseer of the
poor. This "multum in parvo" job
must be looked upon as one of great
honor, as there were si.: applicants
for It.

Hodgenville, Ky-The corner stone
Of the splendid memorial to be erected
to the memory of Abraham Lincoln
was laid by President Roosevelt. The
exercises were participated in by many
Of the nations leading men, Cardinal
Gibbons and ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri
being among those who made adj
dresses.
From all points, by train and over
roads not particularly smooth at this
season of the year, the people gathered
to the exercises. A building four
times the size of the tent provided
could not have accommodated the
crowd.
The corner stone of the Memorial
hall was laid by President Roosevelt.
In an impressive address the chief ex-
ecutive eulogized the life and work Of
the great statesman. He spoke as fol-
lows:
1--WE have met here to celebrate the one
hundredth anniversary of the birth of
one of the two greatest Americans; of
one Of the two or three greatest men Of
the nineteenth century; of one of the
greatest men in the worlds history. This
rail splitter, this boy who passed his I'M
calmly youth in the dire poverty of the
poorest of the frontier folk, whose rise
was by weary and painful labor, lived to
lead his people through the burning
flames of a struggle from which the ma
| ton emerged, purified as by fire, born
| anew to loftier life. After long years
| of iron effort, and of failure that came
| more often than victory, he at last rose
! to the leadership of the republic at the
| the stupendous world-task of the time
| He grew to know greatness, but never
| ease. Success came to him, but never
| happiness, save that which springs from
doing we'll a painful and a vital task
| Power was his, but not pleasure The
burrows deepened on his brow, but his
| eyes We're undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders were bowed,
but his steel thews never faltered as he
| bore for a burden the destinies Of his
| people. His great and tender heart
shrank from giving pain; and the task
allotted him was to pour out like water
| the life-blood of the young men, and to
feel in his every fiber the sorrow of the
women. Disaster saddened but never dis
mayed him. AS the red years of war
went by they found him ever doing his
duty in the present. even facing the fu-
ture with fearless front. high of heart.
and dauntless of soul. Unbroken by ha-
tired. mistaken by scorn, he worked and
suffered for the people. Triumph was his
at the last; and barely had he tasted it
before murder found him, and the kind
ly, patient, fearless eyes were closed for
ever.

 Peggy Resort.

It is now practically settled that the question of locating a road west ward to the mountains will be taken up and decided by the new road con- mission.
 It should be borne in mind that a road leading to San Diego is not what the people want, for more than one good reason, chief of which is that going to sea level is going into the fog belt, and after a time spent in fog and chill the return to the valley climate tends to wilt man. Then, too, it is too far to be useful What we want is road to Warmers Ranch or Julian, where the people can have the benefit of pure noun tain air and forest foliage, and above all plenty of pure spring water Brawley News.
