FALSE ALARM.

About half past eleven on Satur-
day evening the fire department re-
sponded promptly and proceeded to
the lower end of town, but finding
that there was no fire that necessi-
tated their help, they returned to
their quarters. While promptness
in sending in an alarm is commend
able, it is a serious offence to send
in an alarm for any other purpose
than that for needed help in case OF
fire.

Eled him he would dig down to the
very roots Of 1t, make it all as clear as
daylight to his own mind and then
practice on giving it the plainest and
simplest statement possible to others.
Lincoln was honest with his own
soul. There was not the slightest
sham or pretense in his makeup. Ii
Washington could not tell lie, Lin
coin could not think or live one. He
simply had to see things as they are,
and then his own nature compelled
him to live true to what he had seen.
The man who finally sums up Lin
coin will come to see that four of his
chief qualities were truth, logic, love
and humor. Simplicity was fifth
and democracy a sixth. He was al
ways. approachable and met everybody
on terms Of equality.
A seventh trait has been spoken of
by Dennis Hanks in the interview al
ready mentioned. Thar was jist one
thing Abe Lincoln didn't know" he
said. He didn't know how to be
mean, to do a mean thing or think a
mean thought. When God made Old

don In the public mind concerning
China, India, Japan and the African
continent. The chief use Of Asia in
those days was as a basis for fables.
while Africa was only good for steal
ing "niggers" from and selling them
into slavery.
In the United States, Indiana was on
the extreme frontier; the Louisiana
purchase had but just been made,
Florida and Texas were not vet ac-
quired, and the entire population Of the
nation was but trifie over 1000 600.
Madison had been elected president
the drst time and was about to take
his seat. The second war with Great
Britain had not yet been fought. The
great political fact of the entire world
was then Napoleon. He was in the
senith Of his power and for a little
man was casting a remarkably long
shadow. Indeed, just about this time
Napoleon was Europe. He dominated
France. Italy and Germany and had
England and Russia scared into a DO

His Unsuitable Craving to
Know Things He Even
Read While He Ate-Sim-
plicity and Democracy

1N a one room log shanty with an
earthen floor and lighted only by
a glazed paper window Abraham
Lincoln was born. He died in a
theater by the hand of an actor. As
bald statement of the method of his
arrival and departure that is not very
promising. But what of 1t? 1t is not
the manner of souls entering the
world or leaving 1t that tells the story,
but it's conduct while here. Jesus of
Nazareth was born in a stable among
the cattle and was executed as a GRIM
inal, but there was SO much radiance
in his life that it has reflected a glory
over both manger and cross. In like
manner Lincoln has made log cabin
entrance and theater exit honorable.
After all, 1t is the man that counts and
not the accidents that surround him.
Many writer's profess to believe that
with a less humble birth and rearing
Lincoln would have remained un-
known. l do not believe it. Despite
his ephemeral surroundings he would
have been great. loving and a
mighty soul who would have left his
impress for good. He was not so puny
as to be dependent on mere happen

ings outside Of himself. Nobody that
amounts to anything is. The fact that
Lincoln arose from humble beginnings
to q place among the unforgotten ones
is an infinite encouragement to all 9TH
er boys who are similarly born, but
1t is they who need the example more
than he needed the hardships. The
simple lesson Is that the soul should
arrive through any kind of circum-
stances whatsoever. 1t is not the be-
ginning. but the end Of the road. that
counts.
The best account Of Lincoln's boy.
hood I have ever seen was contained
In an interview with old Dennis Hanks
which was published in one Of the
magazines year or two ago. Dennis
Hanks, who did not amount to much
in any other way, was Lncoln's cousin
and boyhood friend. But he did have
eyes, memory and tongue. By
the use of the three he has left q
graphic picture Of his playmate and is
worthy Of note for the pictures sake
II for no other reason. Little Abe, 1t
seems. was just q plain, long legged
American boy who. wanted to know
everything and who spent most of his
spare time in playing pranks. reading
every book he could get bis hands on
and asking questions. Did you ever
see boy like that? 1t seems to me !
have seen several thousand. 1t is
hardly possible that they will all be
president, but they are starting right.
Did you ever reflect that it Is this
very fact Of Lpcoln's being so like
everybody else and yet SO different
that has endeared him to the heart of
the world? He has revealed to US how
divine and noble and beautiful this
common life can be made. To walk
along the way we walk, amid the dust,
vexations and annoyances. to meet the
hardships and temptations we meet, to
be cast down and sad and discouraged
Ike as we are and yet to 60 through
Il all with honesty, with truth, with
strength and with good nature that
does not sound 30 difficult or wonder
ful, and yet that is the very way Lin
coin went. The most apparent things
about him, even In his boyhood. were
his thoroughness, his fidelity to truth
and hts mental honesty. If he did not

the full statured American will BET
For the sake of these two Feb. II,
1899, should be far shining day.
In this same year occurred not
able death. Thomas Paine. the
apostle Of liberty in America, Eng
land and France the real author Of
the Declaration of Independence, one
of the founders Of the French revo-
luton and almost one of its martyrs,
died in 1909. friendless and alone, in
the country he had helped to liberate.
Paine tried to free mankind intel
lectually as well as politically and
thus gained the enmity Of those who
loved either kind of chains. which
meant practically everybody. But the
day Is coming and Is not far distant
when the world VIII place him as
high as before 1t placed him low. That
Is one Of the laws Of justice. Every
thing is balanced at last The ig-
nominy placed on the name Of Thomas
Paine at last will turn to refulgent
glory, fer 50 It IL written in the book
Of destiny.
The writings Of Paine had a great
influence on Lincoln both in religion
and politics. In his younger days
Lincoln wrote book upholding the
ideas Of the Age Of Reason" and in
tended to have 1t published, but some
overzealous friend snatched It from
his hands and gave 1t to the hanes.
But the thought could not be burned,

These qualities which were so con.
spicuous in Lincoln the man were
also in evidence in Lincoln the boy
He fought. worked, played, read
fished. hunted, courted, told stories,
played jokes and did the other things
that healthy, genuine boys do. 1t was
not the doing or not doing Of any of
these that differentiated him from his
fellows. What. then, was it? Was
1t not in the habits OF bis thought
lying back Of all these, in his very
soul texture. In the indef1nable quality
Of bis innermost life that compelled
him to remain close D truth and
mercy. that made him democratic, gen.
uine and simple, that forced him to &c
to the bottom Of everything and that
would not let him do or think a mean
thing-was it not in these that lay
the secret Of Abraham Lincoln both as
boy and man? The corn germinates
corn: the lily brings forth a lily; the
oak begets an oak. If some one can
tell Of the divine seed that grows a
soul he can find the sources Of the
greatness Of Lincoln-not otherwise.
Neither heredity nor environment,
neither occasion nor combination
Of all three. comes within a million
miles Of explaining such man. One
might as well ascribe the plumage Of
a bird Of paradise to the water 1t
drinks. Lincoln went below the sur

preached, and we must 60 below the
