Arranaina a Dixan.

Every one does not know that a
wide divan is made more comfortable
by having at its back two huge, hard
pillows that will support the softer
ones.
1t is usual to heap up great vari-
ETY. of these extra soft ones on large
divan so that any one sitting or reclin-
ing may arrange them according to
ones comfort.
These are needed, it is true, but they
also need a support The wall is usu-
ally too far back from the front edge
of the divan to serve. The two large
pillows made of the material which
covers the divan are not only comfort
able, but artistic
They may be stuffed with excelsior
into coarse muslin or ticking, then COW
cred with the chosen fabric. They look
better with heavy cord around the
edging.
If the end of the divan is against
the wall as well as its side third
pillow may be added to give an added
framework to the little pillows.
This is not an expensive trick, but If
a housewife ever tries it she will never
let the divan go without this part Of
its equipment.

coin.
One Of the places in the race was
Jacksonville. with the redoubtable
Stephen A. Douglas as it's champion
Poor Douglas! He was unQuestiona-
bly, an adroit politician and a man Of
unusual ability. Among the ordinary
run of horse trading politicians he
would have been pre-eminent. The
only trouble with him was that he was
pitted against a man. His was the
fate Of the imitation when it meets the
real thing. Lincoln beat Douglas in
the race for a wife. In the contest for
the state capital. in the campaign for
the presidency and really in the can
vas for the senatorship. for, while
Douglas received the empty honor,
Lincoln had the glory and the popular
vote. The Little Giant" had the shell
of the cocoanut. but the big giant had
the meat and the milk.
During Lincoln's legislative service
Illinois was on the boom. The inter-
nal Improvement mania was in full
force. There was little or no money
In sight, but the Legislature capitalized
the great expectations Of the future
and appropriated millions. The world
has never seen such exuberant finan-
ciers as the legislators of a new state.
Ordinarily they have not enough real
money among them to start a small
country newspaper. yet the large and
generous way they MORTGAGE the fu-
ture and give away the peoples sub
stance makes Wall street look small
and conservative in comparison.
1t, must be admitted that Lincoln
was about the leader of this sort of
boom legislation in Illinois. He want
ed to be known as the De Witt Clin-
ton Of the new commonwealth Some
unkiRd critics have said that he came
nearer to being its John Law but that

made in different shapes and deco
rated with various college colors.
Simple little cups covered with fancy
paper and tied with ribbons are not
new, yet they are always pleasing and
so well with almost any pattern of
china or style of crystal. This season
the ribbons are in brilliant contrast to
the paper, and often tied in with the

flower. By using the smallest size of
paper shell one can place this in the
center Of a handsome paper flower
which lies fat on the table. 1t is
wisest not TO choose a flower which
has number of petals, as they make
the dish fill too large a space.

inexpensive, but the supply grows

Legislator

he retained his honesty all that time.
A man who can go through eight years
of an average legislature and keep
honest is worthy of higher things. An
other remarkable thing about Lincoln's
legislative career is that he introduced
few bills The business of the average
legislator is to introduce whole grist
of bills he knows cannot pass. just as
the business of the average legisla ture
is to enact a grist of laws that cannot
be enforced. The fact that Lincoln
kept free from the creation of surplus
rubbage of this sort is another mark
of his unusual quality.
Outside of keeping his character and
rising above the deadly bill introduc-
ing habit Lincoln's most conspicuous
service in the legislature was in get
ting the capital removed to Spring
field. When he entered the body it
met at Vandalia. The removal strug-
gle came a few years later. and Lin
coin led the Springfield forces Any
one who has ever been through a coun-
ty seat fight can arrive at some idea
of a state capital war by multiplying
one county by all the counties in the
state. Nearly every city and budding
hamlet in Illinois wanted that plum,
and it took hard work and general
ship to land it. Springfield then con.
sisted Of a few houses and a large
number of ambitions. For such a
town to ask for the state capital ex-
hibited gall of a high quality. but to
capture it away from all the other
competitors took executive ability and
sleepless endeavor The credit for the

L1ncOln.

Investigation reveals the unusual fact
that each Of Mr.. Lincoln's defeats left
him stronger, not weaker. He was
building his political house on the
rock of principle. not on the sands Of
temporary success.
For this reason the charge of Off
cial inexperience did not hurt him. 1t
is all right to hold Office if one at the
same time can hold his self respect
but when he has to barter the one for
the other he is not apt to go higher
Long fedlty to a cause is a greater
recommendation to the people than
long tenure of place.
Lincoln was twenty-three when he
first ran for the legislature and twen-
ty-five when he was first elected. That
initial defeat. he often said after
ward, was the only one he ever suf-
fered in a direct appeal to the people.
So much for the charge that he was
"a political failure"
The common people believed in Lin
coin. They voted for him at every op-
portunity. In this first race he got
practically all the votes in New Sa-
leIn where he lived. although it was
Democratic. while he was Whig.
Lincoln was only beaten that time by
people who did not know him. Never
again was he defeated by popular
vote. The only thing that enabled
Douglas to win in the contest for the
,enatorship was gerrymander in the
legislature. Had direct election of SEN
ators then obtai,'rd Abraham Lincoln
would have be-2 United States senator
from Illinois and not Stephen A.
Douglas, for Lincoln beat Douglas
about 1000.
When Lincoln was in the legislature
however, the senatorial contest was
nearly quarter OF century away. He
served in the body eight years. A su-
preme mark ot his greatness is that
