yet, perhaps the most wonderful thing
of all, and. from the standpoint of the
American of to-day and Of the future,
the most vitality. important. was the
extraordinary way in which Lincoln
could fight valiantly against what he
deemed wrong. and yet preserve undi-
minished his love and respect for the
brother from whom he differed.
Strong Sense Of Justice.
He lived in days that We're great and
terrible. when brother fought against
brother for what each sincerely deemed
to be the right. In contest so grim
tine strong men who alone can carry it
through are rarely able to 90 justice
to the deep convictions of those with
whom they srapple in mortal strife. At
such times men see through a glass dark
ly: to only the rarest and lOftiest spirits
is vouchsafed that clear vision which
gradually comes to all, even to the lesser.
AS the struggle fades into distance. and
wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps
back to the hearts that were hurt. But
Lincoln was given this supreme vision.
He did not hate the man from whom he
differed. Weakness was as foreign as
wicked to his strong, gentle nature; but
his courage was of a quality so high
that 1t needed no bOlstering of dark pas
sion. He saw clearly that the same
high qualities. the same courage, and
Willingness for self-sacrifice, and devo-
ton to the right as it was given them to
see the right. belonged both to the men
Of the north and to the men of the south.
As the years roll by, and as all Of US.
wherever We dwell, grow to feel an
equal pride in the valor and self-devo-
ton. alike Of the men who wore the blue
and the men who wore the gray, SO this
whole nation will grow to feel 4 peculiar
sense of pride in the mightiest Of the
mighty men who mastered the mighty
days: the lover OF his country and Of all
mankind; the man whose blood was shed
for the union Of his people. and for the
freedom OF a race. Abraham Lincoln"

Feed plenty of roughage and only
enough grain to obtain the results you
are after. Prof. J. H. Grisdale of the
Ottawa, Canada, experiment station.
after tests, declares that if an animal
is half full and he does not get suffi
cient to keep his digestive organs well
filled and in good healthy condition,
he will not do we'll, and therefore the
first requisite of successful feeding is
the filling of the animals, right up to
the top notch. 1t is not necessary to
give them an expensive filler. One
of the most successful experiments
ever saw conducted was where cut
wheat straw made up the roughage
part of the ration. We must. how
ever, make the roughage as palatable
as We can. The methods of making
it palatable are various. One of the
simplest means is to mix a certain
amount of ensilage or roots. Another
way is to add little bit of meal and
some water.

science is awakened, cannot approve
of a measure that involves so much
that is bad and so little that is good
as the new Tariff Bill.
A law that in its self represents a
betrayal of public confidence and a
l~brazen defiance of public sentiment
cannot be ratified without placing a
premium upon political ~dishonor. and
the American people are certainly not
ready 10 do hat.
Thanks to the splendid courage and
| the old-fashioned honesty of a few
| senators like Mr.. Bristow, the final so
| luton of the Whole tariff question is
now checked up to h people, where
it rightfully belongs. That is the one
| redeeining result of the session OF
| Congress just ended. For when the
| people begin to dictate to their repre-
| sentatives in Congress there will be
\ an END to the trusts dominating tar
if revision.
So long as there are more consum'
ers than there are special interests to
protect it appears perfectly rational
to believe that the tariff question will
never be settled until the people get
the square deal that Bristow and the
~progressives in Congress asked fol

The birth of Alexis was not without
