The Lincoln matter in The Journal of Febru-
airy 18th has been very favorably commented
on by veterans and others. When it came
to writing an appropriate article for the LIN
coin anniversary it was realized that nothing
could be said that had not been better said be-
fore, and so from the many tributes to the
martyred President some of the choicest were
selected. Boston subscriber writes: Il
went to see sick friend of mine on Friday
morning and took with me the Boston Adver-
tiser and the Boston Herald, and happened to
have also in my mail The Republican Journal.
As he is an old soldier he of course, wanted to
hear something about Lincoln from the papers
that morning. l read him first the extracts
and comments from The Republican journal
When l finished he said with tears in his
voice, chats enough: you need not read the
other papers: there's nothing more to say. >

Rogers, Belfast boy, the son of Alderman

filled with life and energy and appeals to
everyone. The curtain goes up on the ar
rival of the college students, when trouble

seen in some good work, which is also very
funny. The act is filled with comedy and life.

great hit. The whole play is clean, bright,
and sparkling, and gives one or two hours OF
real college life. The Colby Club orchestra
