bald statement of the method of his

but it's conduct while here Jesus Of
Nazareth was born in a stable among

over both manger and cross. In like
manner Lincoln has made log cabin

After all, it is the man that counts and
not the accidents that surround him.
Many writers profess to believe that
with less humble birth and rearing
Lincoln would have remained un-

his ephemeral surroundings he would
have been a great, loving and a
mighty soul who would have left his

The Indian Office at Washington
has placed a heavy lid on the White
Earth reservation in Minnesota.
Under the provision of what Is
known as Senator Clapp's amendment
all mixed blood allottees are entitled
to deeds to their lands, but only a
few are getting them, owing to the
allegations which have been filed set
ting forth that spectators and lum-
bermen are getting hold of all the
timber lands just as soon as a mixed
blood becomes legally possessed of it.
Hence an order has been sent to
Agent Howard at White Earth to look
carefully into all applications of the
mixed bloods. A series of questions
has been sent to Agent Howard,
which he is to PROFOUND to all ap-
plicants for fee simple deeds.
The Indian department wants to
know all about the allottee, whether
male or female, how old, what sort of
habits, what he or she proposes to do
with the allotted lands to be decided,
whether or not spectators have inn
portuned the allottee and il so what

Sduu ways. Iley are the lights that
reveal him. With all due respect to
everybody, l am infinitely tired of all
the nonessential rubbish that is foist-
ed on the world in the name of Lincoln
to the observation Of his greater and
better self
When Roman emperor won a war
he was given triumph Lincoln
likewise had triumph, but the pro-
cessions were in black and were ac-
companied by dirges, tears and the
tolling of bells. Yet no tribute ever
paid was so great, just as no victory
ever won was SO momentous It was
not section that gained the day, but
self government and the rights Of
man. 1t was not one race that was
made free. but in the end all races
and all nations
Lincoln symbolizes all Of this to us,
and more. He stands for great events.
but is greater in himself than these
events. The soul Of a man incloses
the things it accomplishes, but is not
inciosed by them. We are all bigger
than our destinies, just as a creator is
bigger than his creation. Lincoln
means to us broken chains and re-
welded states, but his meaning does
not end there. He is also d human
expression Of mercy and truth,
strength and meekness, democracy
and Americanism In the form Of a
man he epitomizes the path from q
log cabin to the White House, from
the deepest obscurity to the most
luminous fame.
