ABRAHAM LINCOLN

As the state of society in which Abraham Lincoln gIeB up passes away, the world will read with in- creasing wonder of the man who, not only of ths humblest origin, but remaining the simplest and most unpretending of citizens, was raised to a position of power un- precedented in our history; who was the gentlest and most peace loving of mortals, unable to see any creature suffer without 6 pang in his own breast, and suddenly found himself called to conduct the greatest and bloodiest of our wars 6ho yielded the power of govern .nent when stern resolution and relentless force were the order of the day and then won and ruled the popular mind and heart by the tender sympsthies oi his nature; who was cautious conservative by temperament and mental habit, and led the most sweeping and so- cial revolution of our history; who. preserving his homely speech and rustic manner, even in the most conspicuous position of that period drew upon himself the scoffs of po- lite society. and then thrilled the soul of mankind with utterances of wonderful beauty and grandeur; who, in his heart the best friend of the defeated South, was murdered because crazy fanatic took him for it's most cruel enemy; who, while in power, was beyond meas ure lampooned and maligned by sectional passion and an excited party spirit, and around whose bier friend and foe gathered to praise him-which they have never ceased to do-as the greatest of Americans and the best of men.

Just before the collection was taken

DYNAMITE lN TIE MAKING.
Workmen Who Are Encircled by 0eath
In Gallons and Tons.

Workmen Who Are Encircled by Death
In Gallons and Tons.
So thoroughly deceptive is dynamite
In the making that you are apt to be
disappointed on viewing the surface
of things. You could more readily
fancy thundeYbolts leaping and crash
ing from tender blue skies than that
the most fearful forces in creation are
hidden under such peaceful exterior.
Nitroglycerin, a cupful of which would
distribute you over square miles OF
landscape. is diligently mixing around
you in hundreds and thousands of gal
Ions.
It is making itself in big iron retorts,
cascading down leaden cutters and
nerrily tumbling in minute Niagaras
into immense vats, where the deli
quescent yellow peril pursues its jour-
ney powderward Out of one recep-
tacle it fares furiously through special
lead coils, driven only by cooling blasts
Of air, and is drawn or like draft ale
and piped on to the next perfecting
stage. Gaze with the nitroglycerin ex-
pert into one of those big caldrons.
The interior is brilliantly Illuminated
by electricity, the only Illuminating
agency permitted in or about the dan
ger houses
Around you are other houses at uni
form distances apart and connected
by a series of narrow gauge tracks
wherein workmen are railroading nj
troglycerin from here and pulp cotton
from there to be compounded into dy-
Mantle and blasting gelatin. Greatest
care is taken in rolling the product
from house to house. AS soon as q
loaded cart Is ready to pass out Of the
nitroglycerin house, for instance, a
semaphore signals from an adjoining
carefully hurried.
Around you are long storehousos
packed with pulp in tons of innocent
whiteness. Presently this pulp will as
sumo a tan color under the nitrattng
process, and then, suddenly becoming
carbonite, red cross, hercules, judson
and giant powder, forcite or what you
order, 1t develops the quasi virtues Of
dynamite or blasting gela-
tin in which more natural forces are
condensed to the cubic inch than exist
anywhere else in creation. Death,
curbed and sleeping, encircles you in
gallons and tons. Annihilation threat
tial pulverizing forces. But the man
and the mercury are there. also, alert,
responsive, reliable.-Leslie's Weekly.

How Marshall Field Made Money.

In the early eighties, when the First
National bank of Wallawalla was not
as big as it is now, l pretty nearly
had my breath taken away one day
by a good looking stranger hailing
from Chicago. He threw letter of
credit for $4,000 from a Chicago bank
on my desk and quietly said, "Can
you cash that?' l looked him over
once or twi~e, made quick estimate
Of all the loose cash | thought we
could scrape up and said: Yes. How
do you want it?" He gave a smile,
sat down and said. 81 think I'll take
it in land" In months time, as his
authorized agent, I bought about 3d.
900 acres of cheap railroad land for
my Chicago friend, taking the deeds
in my name at his request, paying an
average Of $3.50 an acre. He cleared
over $1,OOO,OO0 on this one deal. His
name was Marshall Field. - Senator

LIBRARY SLOW POKES.
Time Killing Methods of Officials lW
Continental Europe.

Continental Europe.
Americans who grumble about hav-
ing to wait long time for books when
applying to a public library" said o
Boston literary woman, should try to
work or study in a foreign library, par
ticularly In Germany.
THE typical continental librarian
takes no account of time. The reader,
worker or student must turn in his or
her application for books at least q day
In advance. The men who search for
the books applied for are aged, totter-
ing creatures who have been shutting
around the dusty piles Of books for
years, and the word hurry is not In
their vocabulary.
1.-THE most priceless books and man.
uscripts are kept in places which are
perfect fire traps, and disorder pre-
dominates in every department. When
you speak about the impossible meth
DDS employed the librarians tell you
that they are too poor to introduce any
modern indexes or catalogues. This il
to some extent so, but as matter Of
fact they would not change If they
had all the money in the world at their
disposal.
'"They do not wish to encourage the
common people to use books. The
learned are among the aristocracy, and
the spread of the knowledge which is
hidden in those wonderful literary mu-
seums is far from the purpose of the
men at the head of Europe's libraries.
'"There may be some delay in our IL
braries, but our people in the lower
walks Of life are certainly ahead of
the common people Of the old world in
the matter of getting books when they
want them, and generally free Of
charge. New York Telegram.

A sim Of Death.

There may have been many "signs"
Of death-so some people believe-but
one described here is probably new to
many. Mr.. w. r. Cooper of Chelten-
ham tells Of his father being Ill. but
not confined to bed. and one sunny day
In June when he walked across the
garden another man. the facsimile Of
his father, met him and apparently
passed into him."
shortly after my father came to me
and said, Did you see me go across
the garden? l said, Yes Well he
said, 4 shan't be here long. Our fam
lily see themselves before they de-
Although l had seen this, l said, Non
sense He shook his head and walked
away. Shortly after he took to his
bed and died July 8. My father during
the few days he was in bed-we were
haymaking at the time-asked each
morning, Which field are you in nowr
When we came to a certain field called
Galley he said, with a sigh of great
satisfaction, 'Ah, shall die now"
He died the same morning near mid
day.-T. P's London Weekly.

How often clerks and other employ
ees of big firms are heard to complain
Of the small salaries they receive! Yet
If they realized that Columbus drew a
salary of only just over zee a year
they would, perhaps, hesitate before
grumbling at their E1O0 or ESQ per an
mum. Prominent clergymen have re-
ceived as much as and more than f1O,-
600 a year, and yet John Knox only
got 16s. Sd. a week, and that was As.
I'd. more than Scottish judges of his
time. 1t must be confessed, however.
that at this period of small salaries
money went long way. For instance,
a good Christmas dinner for a family
of six during the sixteenth century
could be provided for an outlay of
about eightpence halfpenny.-LOndon

The Town to Be Born In.

In the German town of Klingenberg,
near Aschaffenberg, Bavaria. in addi-
ton to having no rates to pay for the
upkeep of the town. those actually
born in the parish receive from the
municipality a sum of E12 lbs. year
This sum, If invested regularly at say.
8 per cent, would entitle the owner to
receive about f1.5O0 at the age of sixty
"a very handsome old age pension
Were it not necessary that the inhab-
itants should prove birth in the parish
before becoming entitled to this pay
ment the popularity Of Klingenberg as
a place Of residence would doubtless

Died With Warm Feet.

isaac O'BarnS, once pension commits
sioner in Boston, appointed by Presi-

his terse and cutting sayings. 1t was
told of him that he promised to sub
scribe for the erection of a Baptist
church on condition that they should
"baptize 'em in hot water"
1t is of Mr.. O'Barns the story Is told
that when ON his deathbed, or when
he thought he was dying and the doc
tor had pronounced his feet warm and
said that no one had ever died with
warm feet, the old gentleman inquired
in a whisper whether the doctor had
forgotten the case Of John Rogers.
