A SUCCESSFUL business man once
said: "Give me the man who can
hold on when others let go; who
pushes ahead when others turn
back; who stiffens up when others
weaken; who advances when others
retreat; who knows no such word
as can't or give up and I will
show you man who will win in
the end, no matter what opposes
him, no matter what obstacles con-
front him."

"THE energy of the ranges will
some day be directed toward county
division, and when that comes we
will cease to be the good thing for
the big town at the head of the
lakes" remarks the Mesaba Ore. In
line with the preachings of the En-.
terprise.
The Virginia enterprise., 1909-02-12

We notice the Mesaba Ore takes a
twist at the reliability of certain ar
ticles found in the range depart
ment of the Duluth News Tribune.
Careful, Claudius; the Duluth m morn-
ing glory may have "touch artist"
on the staff whose uselessness will
permit of shipping him to the range
for the express purpose of "burn-
ing you up" in the columns of some
range contemporary.

THAT the idea of an independent
school district did not "die a-born-
in" is evidenced by the call for a
special school meeting on the Goth
inst. for the purpose of considering
such question, signed by six free
holders, given official publication
felsewhere in this issue. The move
is an eminently proper one and will
unquestionablyr receive the sanction
of the voters of the district.

THE "county road commission"

a provision that all road monies

One is the development of land along

The other Is embodied in a bill in

His speech at Gettysburg will be read

In this city the day will be observ.
ed as a general holiday and senators
and representatives regardless of par
ty, will do honor to Honest Abe" In
Chicago a monster celebration will be
held, with President Woodrow Will
son, of Princeton, as the orator OF the
day. Springfield, ILL.,, where Lincoln
was so well known, will observe the
ntenary with great banquet. New
York City's observance will include
four large mass meetings and num-
erous smaller gatherings of the adj
mirers of Lincoln.
Presidentelect Taft is expected to
arrive in New Orleans, and the pro
gram of reception arranged in his hon.

Many sIeepIess Nights, Owing to
Persisten Cough, Relief Found
at Last.

"For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most persist
ent and disagreeable cough, which in
variably extended over a period Of
several weeks and caused her many
sleepless nights" writes VIII J..
Hayner, editor of the Burnley, Colo,
Bulletin. various remedies were
tried eacr year, with no beneficial re-
suits. In November last the cough
again put in an appearance and my
wife. acting on the suggestion of a
friend, purchased a bottle of Chamber
lain'sCough Remedy. The results, was
indeed, marvellous. After three doses
the cough entirely disappeared and
has not maniftsed itself since" This
remedy is for sale by Hays & Field

CITY, Oklahoma City, Denver, Salt
Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco. Los
Angeles and other cities.
The city of Boston has been work
ing for months to prepare fitting cere-
monies for Lincoln day. A special
committee of %. appointed by Mayor
Hibbard, has charge of the affair and
has arranged for ceremonies in Sym
phony Hall in the evening, when ex-
Gov. John D. Long will deliver the
principal grafton.
No less than three propositions
have been made to Congress to fitting
ly preserve the memory of Lincoln.
One involves a great highway from
Washington to the Gettysburg battle
field; a second the enlargement of the
Capitol grounds and the erection of a
peristyle, and the third the erection of
a suitable monument on government
owned grounds along the Potomac be-
low the Washington monument.
The proposed highway from Wash
ington to Gettysburg would cost ST.
100000, yet 1t is pointed out by its
proposer, Representative LaFean, of
Pennsylvania and its many supporters
that independence Hall in Philadel
phia, where the declaration of inde-
pendence was signed, is perhaps the
only spot to which the American mind
turns with SO much of reverence as
it does, to the battlefield of Gettysburg.
North and South alike awaited the
outcome of that three-day struggle In
the summer heat that ended the In
vasion of Pennsylvania and marked
the turning point Of southern
strength. Scarcely less historical than
the battle itself was the speech of Lin
coin made in santification of the
brave dead who fell and were buried
on the field.
Edward Everett was the orator OF
the day at those ceremonies; Lincoln
was there simply as President. The
flowing periods of the prepared GRAFTON
of Mr.. Everett were proclaimed as
magnificent on that day, while the
simply phrased address of Lincoln
passed almost unnoticed. Its inspired
eloquence did not reach the audience
in full measure when 1t was delivered
but now after nearly five decades, tn,
English language contains nothin
better known than Lincoln's speecl
concluding with the phrase "That
government of the people, for the pee
pie, and by the people shall not perisl

The proposed Lincoln highwa
would make easy of access one of tn
most historical spots in the Unite
States, which is now most difficult
get to. The supporters contend tina

Rossini's RESTING Place.

For years Rossini's BODY rested
in Pere Lachaise, and then city
Of Florence asked that it might be
transferred TO the Church of the
Holy Cross in that city. where the
bodies OF Galilei, Michelangelo,
Machiavelh, Alferi and other great
Italians are entombed. Consent
was received from the municipality,
but the masters widow, Dona
Olympia. would consent to the
translation only on condition that
when her time came her BODY
might be placed next to that of her
husband This request was bluntly
denied, for the reason that only
Italians who had achieved great
ness" could rest there. In 1873 the
widow died and before her death
consented in writing to the removal
of her husbands body to Florence,
provided her body be placed in the
grave from which his would be tax
en- in Pere Lachaise, and after a
long time for consideration this
was done.

"When it comes to consuming
gas in large quantities blind people
can beat their seeing brethren all
hollow" said an inspector of the
gas company. Il know two fami-
lies where both husband and wife
are blind. Every jet is turned on
full tilt in their homes at night and
is kept going at that rate clear up
to 10 o'clock. Light and darkness
are all the same to the afflicted
ones, but they insist upon illumina-
ton brilliant enough for a recep-
ton. And that partiality for light
is not a within peculiar to those two
couples. Most blind people feel
that way. They demand the light,
and in all private homes and insti-
tutions where the bland are cared

strange fancy. Exchange.

THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
\ Memory Of Piekett's Brigade and .
Night Attack.

Some wears after the civil war a
gathering OF veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences al a
banquet gwen by the board OF trade
OF New York. writes Mrs. la Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lipptncott's.
The presiding officer was Colonel
J. J. Phillips Of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division He
was speaking Of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause Of its startling horrors. but
because Of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience OF orders-the obey
ing. as il were. Of higher COM
mand than that of earth.
The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips. "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the orGer.
There was that dread. indescrib-
able stiffness. that weird. ominous
Silence, that always settles over
everything before a fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
"Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound Of deep,
full voice rolling over the black
void Ike the pillows Of "A great sea,
directly in line with our guns. II
was singing the old hymn, Jesus,
Lover of Nv Soul
Il have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified its Impressive
ness. bat never had it seemed so

ness in which We waited for the or
der to fire. just as it was given
there rang through the night the
words:
Cover my defenseless head
With The shadow OF thy wing.
Ready, Aim. Fire to the
left. boys" | said.
The guns were shifted, the vol
lev that blazed out swerved aside,
and that defenseless head was Gov
cred with the shadow of his wing"
A Federal veteran who had been
listening looked up suddenly and
said:
Il remember that night. colonel,
and that midnight attack which
carried of SO many of my comrades.

There was a second of silence
Then Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul"
rang across that banquet board as
on that black night in 1864 it had
rung across the lines at Bermuda
Hundred.
