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 struggle from which the ma
ton emerged, purified as by fire, born
anew to a 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
moment when that leadership had become
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 well a painful and vital task.
Power was his, but not pleasure. The
burrows deepened on his brow, but his
eyes were undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders were bowed,
but his steel thews never faltered as he
bore for 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 flu
ture with fearless front, high of heart
and dauntless Of soul. Unbroken by ha-
tred 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.

Milwaukee, Feb. 16-Grabbing a

and Wisconsin streets, with the loot,

was committed while the attention of
messenger boy for the department

general alarm to be sounded in the
bank, and hasty search was insti-
tuted. A hurried examination was
made of the bank corridors, while 9TH
ers rushed to the streets to secure
sight and trail of the thief, if possible,
but he had made his escape and van

Daniel Sullivan, aged 20, messen-
ger boy, was sent to the First Ma
tional bank about noon with two
checks, one for $500, the weeks pay
roll, and the other for $780, He went
to window No. and had the check

picked up the grip and left the bank
quickly and unnoticed.

such a morass of difficulty that no man

Strong Sense Of Justice.
''He lived in days that were great and
terrible, when brother fought against
brother for what each sincerely deemed
to be the right. In contest so grim
the strong men who alone can carry it
through are rarely able to do justice
to the deep convictions of those with
whom they grapple in mortal strife. At
such times men see through a glass dark
ly; to only the rarest and Hottest spirits
is vouchsafed that clear vision which
gradually comes to all, even to the lesser
as the struggle fades into distance, and
wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps
back to the hearts that were hurt. But
Lincoln was given this supreme vision.
He did not hate the man from whom he
differed. Weakness was as foreign as
wicked to his strong, gentle nature; but
his courage was of a quality so high
that it needed no bolstering of dark pas
sion. He saw clearly that the same
high qualities, the same courage, and
willingness for self-sacriflce, and devo-
ton to the right as it was given them to
see the right belonged both to the men
of the north and to the men of the south.
AS the years roll by and as all of us,
wherever we dwell, grow to feel an
equal pride in the valor and self-devo-
ton, alike of the men who wore the blue
and the men who wore the gray, so this
whole nation will grow to feel peculiar
sense Of pride in the mightiest of the
mighty men who mastered the mighty
days; the lover of his country and of all
mankind; the man whose blood was shed
for the union of his people, and for the
freedom of race, Abraham Lincoln"

requiring to an especial degree the
combination of indomitable resolution
with cool-headed sanity. We can profit
by the way in which Lincoln used both
these traits as he strove for reform. We
can learn much of value from the very
attacks which following that course
brought upon his head, attacks alike by
the extremists of revolution and by the
extremists of reaction. He never way

love for the union, and in his abhor-
renee OF slavery. Timid and lukewarm
people were always denouncing him be-
cause he was extreme; but as a matter
or fact he never went to extremes, he
worked step by step; and because of this
the extremists hated and denounced him
with fervor which now seems to us fam
tastic In its dedication Of the unreal and
the impossible. At the very time when
one side was holding him up as the
apostle of social revolution because he
was against slavery, the leading abo-
litionist denounced him as the slave
hound of Illinois," When he was the Sec

.Bossy" WAS so NERVOUS.
He Was Not to Be Agitated, Even BY
"Percy, Dear"

It was moving day for the summer
colony along the North shore of Mas
sachusetts. On the morning train
from Rockport, bearing many we'll
known Bostonians to their town
houses for the winter, rode a stormy
old gentleman from the west. AT
Pride's crossing family of three
father, mother and daughter-boarded
the train, bearing respectively the
family treasures: One pet poodle, one
gray cat in a blue blanket, and one
travelling clock in a much worn leath-
er case. The party had no sooner
found seats across from the western
er, than it became apparent that the
excitement of boarding the train had
caused commotion among the pets.
The cat was chided for talking aloud.
Calm yourself, Bobby" said his mis-
tress. "Be yourself once more-we
are now on our way home" Where
upon Bobby grew calm.
The poodle became restless in the
company of his master on seat in
front and signified his yearning for
Bobby's company by climbing up the
back of the seat and casting goo-goo
eyes at the Tabby The sympathetic
mistress understood at once and said:
you may come over here and sit
with us, Percy, dear, on one condition
you must not agitate Bobby"
This was too much for the stormy
westerner. With a loud snort he
reared up, paved his handbag from
the rack above his head, and pranced
Into a coach ahead.

Knox and other leaders and probably
will complete his cabinet list while in

pressing necessity that both houses

Many people, lovers of dumb ami

Frenchman named Duroc to draw up
the most comprehensive provision
touching the care of great Dane

duly set aside to provide for the dogs
daily sustenance with a list of the
delicacies the canine most affected
and directions as to the method of
preparing them for his consumption
Next there was another appropriation
for the maintenance and repair of the
Danes kennel, the details Of which
were set forth with great care. Third

Jordan Bridge Torn Down.

The old white bridge over the Jor.
dan river near Salt Lake is being dis
mantled.
Built in 1851, four years after the
first white settlement of Utah, for Is
years it was the only dry crossing Of
the Jordan.
The pony express used it in going
to and fro between st. Joe and Cali
fornia, the emigrant trains used it as
they entered on the last stage of their
westward journey, and the Mormon
pioneers used it constantly in going
to and from the lake.
The builders of the bridge had
neither nails, rivets nor iron bolts, but
used wooden pegs for fastening to
such good advantage that the struc-
ture has heer II oonstant service for
more aa4gs.
