that Lincoln sprang I can see him
tonight rugged country boy, vigorous
from exercise and with an intense
love for nature. The hardships that
he was forced to undergo seem in
credible. What little education he Sc
cured was Cleaned from simple books
as the long, lean young fellow
sprawled before the fireplace, with
candle taper for light. Altogether
in his whole life he had not more than
four months at school. yet with this
meager chance he became one OF the
widest and most. renowned men Of the
age. No elegant study nor luxurious
library was open to him: he learned
his lesson in the harsh school of adj
versity. He communed with the birds
and the trees and ripping brooks and
each had it's lesson for this simple
boy. can conceive of no condition
worse than was Lincoln's in the little
log cabin in the far west. Perhaps he
knew that some day opportunity
would seek him out and knock upon
his door and he would be prepared for
it regardless Of the hardships that
he must encounter | can see him as
the captain of his little company of
soldiers, loved by all for his kind
ness and charity: then as clerk in the
country store and later as a lawyer
starting in dingy office, depriving
himself of all rather than stoop to
trickery, his mission seemed one Of
charity and good will to ALL for to his
friends he was always great, and to
know him was to love him. But the
eve IF fate was unon him and the day
came when he must leave the life that
he loved SO well to undertake greater
responsibilities. The poisonous fangs

OF civil strife We're gnawing at the
vitalS of the Union and great hand
was needed to guide the ship of state.
1t sometimes seems miraculous to me
that of all the erudite statesmen that
graced the country, it should be de-
creed that this ungainly, very common
man from the west, should be picked
for such stupendous task. Yet
God moves mysteriously His wonders
to perform" and to Lincoln the eyes
and heart of loyal Americans turned in
Isuppliance They forgot that but a
few years before he had been miser
able boy, eking out bare existence
that his boyhood days were spent
| from culture and refinement. They
saw only Lincoln, the big-hearted, sad
featured man, who was to deliver
| them.
History cannot do justice to Lin
coins administration. History is cold
and pictures only the livid salient
scenes that stand out boldly amid
war and turmoil The many acts of
kindness and silent charity with which
many were blessed at the hands of
the martyred president, will live only
as tradition and memory preserve
them. 1t seemed that his heart was
big enough to shelter all his country
men and no man was too miserable
and lowly to be beyond the pale of his
great mercy. Thousands were the
aching hearts that this noble man
soothed, The last official act of his
life was to sign paper to let a man
live who was condemned to die. An
hour later Lincoln was himself dying.
The man whose life he saved lived
nearly thirty years longer.
BY his countrymen this man of
home-spun clothes was loved and wor-
shipped as a God, and when the cruel
bullet of the assassin pierced his no.
BILE heart, spontaneous wave of sor-
row such as has never been felt, rent
the entire country. Lincoln loved to
live and lived to love, and in his final
moments the consciousness of being
loved by his countrymen was his
greatest solace.
/ love to think of Lincoln, not as
the great emancipation. not as the
man who cemented the ties of the
Union that were shattered by the
Civil War, but as that great character
whose life forms the noblest ideal for
ambitious Americans. History is full
with the fame of great warriors and
great statesmen; from ancient Greece
to the modern day their exploits have
been recounted, but there is only one
Lincoln. His name stands out pre-
eminent as the typical American. Such
men as he could never have been born
except in the land of freedom, where
artifice is unknown and it is unnatural
not to be human.
Napoleon was a greater warrior and
Fox greater statesman, but for those
who love men for what they are, the
name of Lincoln will live enshrined
in the hearts of men while the memo
ries of Napoleon and Fox will crum-
BILE with the marble on which they are
preserved.
An hundred years from now his
name will be heralded care not
whether our country be Towering in
utopian splendor or if the rank weeds
of discord and ruin shall have choked
out the spirit of freedom, his name
shall live and endure as one who
sprang from natures kingdom, was
inspired by natures God and loved
his fellow men.

LONDON, May 28.-Some remarA BILE
details of the disposition Of the worlds
charity to the Italian earthquake sufferers
are furnished by the Daily Mua's Rome
correspondent. He says that although
the principal ruined cities have not as
yet even begun the reorganization Of
normal life practically all the relief funds
have been already disbursed or promised.
The president OF the Central Relief
Committee has furnished the following
figures. which, however, are only ap-
proximate:
The relief sent by foreign countries
was valued at S4,760, 900, OF which the cash
subscriptions were approximately as
follows: Great Britain, $500 900; Argen-
tina, s4OO 900; Germany. 10000; France,
$500 900, and the United States, $500. 900.
The relief from other countries has not
yet been calculated precisely.
The foregoing sums do not include pro-
visions from abroad. huts and warship
relief.
The Italian Government voted 81. .OOO. 600.
and imposed surtaxes equivalent to $li,-
600 900, the latter being distributed over
a series of years to be expended in restor-
Ing public services in the earthquake area.
In addition To these amounts the Vati-
can received 81, 200. 900 from the Catholics
of the world, much of which has already
been distributed by the Sicilian and Ca
labrian clergy.
This is total contribution of s2S, ,020 900.
The central committee disbursed $4, 45O,-
900, and engaged very large sums for rear
ing orphans and other charities, which
must continue for years. 1t has at its
disposal now only $l6,375.
