R~ecoAections of Lincoln, Told by One
Who Knew the Ef1ancpator Well

everything. 1 never heard anything
like it.
II reckon he learned a lot more from
soldiers about how the armies was
beln' taken care of than he did from

MIR. Lincoln stoppin' EN- on the street
and out around the White House and
talking to 'em. Isaac says 'twan't be-
comm in the President of the United
States to be so familiar with common
soldiers, he ought to keep among the
generals and members OF the admins
ration. Isaac always reckoned himself
q member of the administration.
More than that says Isaac. 1T
a.1't dignifled for a President to be
always runnin' out after things him
self Instead of sendin' somebody. He's
always goin' over to the telegraph office
with messages, and settin' down by the
operators talkin' and readin' dispatches
and Waitin' for One day he
came right up to my office to ask me
to look up the record of Johnnie Banks,
old Aunt Sally Banks's boy, that was
coin to be shot for desertion. Seemed
T. thinS I'D been Interested, because he
came from Illinois-came right up
there. instead of sendin' for me to go
tc the White House like he ought to,
and when / took what / found owe

bat eighteen, he put on his hat and
went over himself to the telegraph
office. took me along, and sent a mes

anybody as young as eighteen to be
shot" And that night he went back
and sent another message askin' If
they'd received the tirst-wasn't salts
fed till he knew 1t couldn't happen.
There wasn't any reason why he should
spend his time that way. He ought
to give orders and let other folks see
they're carried out. That's what I'd do,

l says. You won never be President.
Mr.. Lincoln's got too many folks
around him now that don't do nuthin'
but give orders. That's one reason he
has to do his own executin'.'
But twas just like him to go and
do it himself. So interested he had
to see it. I've heard different ones tell
time n time again that whenever
he'd pardoned q soldier he couldn't
rest till he'd get word back that twas
all right. Did you ever hear about
that Vermont boy in McClellan's
army, sentenced to be shot along at
the start for sleeping on his post?
Twas when they were camped over in
Virginia right near Washington. Mr..
Lincoln didn't know about it till late
and when he heard the story he tele-
graphed down not to do it. Then he
telegraphed askin' If they'd got his
orders and when he didn't get an
answer what does he do but get in his
carriage and drive himself ten miles
to camp to see that they didn't do it.
Now tha's what l call bein' q real
President. That's eXecutin'.
"a while after Bull Run I met a boy
out on the street here on crutches, thin
and white, and l stopped to ask him
about how he got hurt Well, Billy, he

Despite Education, You May Succeed In
Railroad Business, Declares Hartman
College Graduates Mind Is Too
Complex to Be Arnenable to
Simple instruction.
kkT S college education an essential or
even q valuable preparation for

kkT S college education an essential OF
~" ever a valuable preparation for
a man who expects to enter
railroading2 My answer is both yes
and no. A college education will be q
great help II the man In going through
college has kept the foundations of high
school learning firmly fixed. On the
other hand. IL he has neglected his
handwriting and forgotten his ar3th-
metic in higher mathematics, nothing
could he worse for him.
'If, however. he still retains these
essentials he has a great advantage in
that he has a broader view of the world
and a greater knowledge of how lead.
The high school boy has the advantage
in that all the first essentials of good
work in r~ailroading are at his fingers
ends. For instance, take the making of
a simple statement. A statement
should be Ike q picture, something that
can be taken in al a glance, not q jun
BILE Of letters and figures that must be
traced carefully out and the meaning
extracted from the mass of superfiuous
matter.
"A high school boy will draw such a
statement with perfect accuracy and
~clearness, while a young college grad
uate will draw 1t in such a way that It
is a puzzling scrawl.
THUS college education is. in the be-

veloped n more capable Of graspins
the fine points of the business. On the
other hand the high school boy, as be-
Ing younger, is more adaptable and has
not in most cases the irregular habits
of the college man.
N matter how well educated a man
may be he must start in r~ailroading al
the very bottom.
"A railroad man has no fixed home,
he is like a naval officer, always at
sea, and, moreover. he is always work
ing to the limit of his endurance. 1t
is the hardest life ] know and yet one
of the most pleasant. 1t c~ultivates an

pull can never carry a man far in
~railroading. It Is hard work and APP
plication that count. Many a man
starts out well, but lacking the stick

essential. falls into obscurity.
MY advice to the college man expect
ing to enter ~railroading and hoping to
have an easy life, is-don't, but to the
man Who does not mind the hardest
kim of work. who will not quit under
early disappointment and who wishes
to have the most interesting sort of q

To her little gray shoe.
And she kept it a secret,

And wherefore the wrinkles

WARSHIP READY TO
 GO TO HORN ISLAND

Pensacola. May 2s.--As soon as the bat tleship Mississippi had taken on the coal which will carry her to Philadelphia, Captain Fremont ordered his engineering officers to overhaul the ships machinery, engines and boilers. To permit them to do this the big vessel will stay at anchor where she now lies off the United States naval station.
 This has greatly disappointed the towns folk and the officers of the ship as well. Captain Fremont has declined to permit any of the enlisted men to land, while only those officers having business on shore will leave the vessel
 Regular naval routine will be resumed tomorrow In fact, 1t was partially re- stunned today when the turret crews put in four hours of stiff gun drill, with exaoting officers, watch in hand, timing them In their movements. The 12-inch gun crews finally got down to loading and firing in IS seconds.
 The ship will lie in her present posi- tion until 10 a. m Sunday, when she will get under way for Horn Island, Miss. At present Captain Fremont does not contemplate running closer to Horn Island than IS miles, as he considers 1t safer to anchor out in the gulf. He will ar rive at Horn Island about midnight Sun day. The presentation of the silver serv- ice to the Mississippi will occur Mon day.

EXCITEMENT AT MADISON.
Trains May Not Be Allowed to Pass
 Certain Points.

Madison, Ga, May 2S-Intense excite ment prevails tonight at Thomson and Union Point on the Georgia railroad, and there is a firm unmistakable determina- ton that no trains save those carrying mails solely will be allowed to pass those points. The action of the railroad today in sending the mail trains out with negro firemen is bitterly resented, and the citi- zens of these towns along the line are not talking in undertones. Some even express the feeling that the railroad "has no business" sending mail trains out with negro firemen and il is feared that these trains are not absolutely safe from at tack of some kind by the more infiamed and thoughtless.
 There are many negroes residing in these towns along the Georgia railroad and to the great majority of them these manifestations of excitement on the part of the whites are not understood
 While the resident negroes move about in the enjoyment of peace and with their wonted unconcern. the more ignorant among them are beginning to feel a sense of alarm over what they apprehend is impending trouble of grave nature. 1t is current among some of the lower ele- ment of blacks that race trouble has broken out in Atlanta and that several hundred negroes have been killed.
 There is no denying the fact that it is imperative that something in the way of settling this strike be done without de- lay else there will be bloodshed. A thou sand brawny, aroused white men are rest less under the delay in getting straight ened out what seems to them very small problem.
