Abraham Lincoln.
HONOR PAID TO LINCOLN'S NAME
HIS MEMORY THE SHRINE BEFORE
WHICH THOUSANDS BOW.

Next week occurs the one hundredtt
anniversary OF the birth of Abraham
Lincoln. the great emancipation
whose memory all the world honors
and whose name all Americans revere
The fame OF the great citizen whose
services to his country and to man.
kind we celebrate, fills the world
The search light of history has been
| turned on the most obscure part OF
his career. every incident of 1t is
known, many sayings of his to which
neither he nor his hearers attributed
any Importance at the moment, have
become proverbs and passwords
Biographies In ten Volumes, and
biographies in pamphlet form have
told OF the deeds of Abraham Lincoln,
Of his virtues, OF his appearance. OF
his peculiarities, and of the many and
strange experiences he had mostly
among the humblest surroundings,
before he reached the highest office in
the land. When he was first elected
TO the presidency, the case was differ
ent, few among the people who knew
him, not excepting his best frinds,
found their adequate Judgment of the
greatness of his character, and the
forceful wisdom that was In him.
He was born IN a cabin on the Rock
Spring farm, Kentucky, Feb'y 81,
1909. His early teachers were the
silent forest, the prairie, the river,
the stars, and his mother who taught
him TO read and write without books
other than the Bible, later he went to
school, then we find him studying law,
then a leader or rather companion
of the people.
He thought always OF mankind, as
we'll as his own country, and served
human nature itself. He knew how to
p)ise himself on the conflicting
opinion OF the people. He rejected
council given only as matter Of poll
cy. and was not capable of being will
fully unjust. He was man with in
finite jest on his lips, but saddest
earnestness at his heart, he took to
heart the eternal truth of liberty,
Obeyed them as the commands Of
providence, and accepted the human
race as the judge of his fidelity. He
shows the genuine fruits Of inStitu-
tions where the laboring man shares
and assists TO form the great ideas
and designs of his county. He finish
ed work which all time cannot over
throw, and was followed by the sor-
row of his country to his resting
place in the heart Of the Mississippi
valley, to be remembered through all
time by his countrymen, and by all
the peoples OF the world. His motto
was "With malice toward none, with
charity IN all ~

THE CENOTAPH

(By Jones Thompson Mckay on the
final burial of Lincoln at Springfield,
ILL.,, April IA, 1881
And so they buried Lincoln! Strange
and vain
Has any creature thought of Lincoln
In any vault, meath any coffin lid.
In all the years since that wild spring
of pain?
'Tis false-he never in the grave hath
You could not bury him although
you slid
Upon his clay the, Cheops Pyramid,
Or heaped it with the Rocky Noun

They slew themselves; they but set
Lincoln free.
In all the earth his great heart beats
as strong,
Shall beat while pulse throb to chiv.

And burn with hate Of tyranny and
wrong.
Whoever will may find him anywhere,
Save in the tomb. Not there-he is
not there.

Gus Conferences at Office Of J.

NEW YORK, November 15.-No definite
information could be obtained today Of

output Of copper.
Numerous conferences of copper inter-

been sifted down to a point where fairly
general credence is given to the state
ment that J. P. Morgan & Co. will have
the financing in charge, with the Ia
tional City Bank and the First National
Bank Of this city as the probable me-
diums through which the security issues
in this country will be handled. A world
wide distribution is said to be intended,
however. with several European institu-
lions Of prominence to attend to the to-
tation abroad.
Object of the Merger.
Production, treatment and sale Of cop
per to the amount of approximately $780,
OOO, 600 pounds is included in the plans Of
the men interested in the proposed merg-
er, which is expected to bear the relation
to the copper industry that the United
States Steel Corporation now does to the
steel industry. Named in connectlon
with the combination are the Amalga.
mated. Guggenheim. Phelps,D Dodge AND
Cole-Ryan properties. with the smelling
and selling interests affiliated with them.
Included are the prominent low grade

pany. There Is no inclusion of the Calu-
met and Hecla. The Haggin interests In
Peru and the Rio Tinto properties In
Spain may be included I'm the merger.

posed to be included in the merger.
