perhaps as good an estimate as any
may be found in practically his last
words to her, spoken on the after
noon of the day of his assassination,
as they rode through the streets OF
Washington.
He talked to her Of what they
would do when his term of office was
over and they could take up quiet
life again.
1--WE have saved some money" he
said, "and ought to be able to save
some more. And with that and what
I can earn from my law practice we
can settle down in Springfield or Chi
cago and live cozily to a green old
age"
But God had otherwise disposed.
Within "a hours the woman who, in
the ultimate, had shared the tribula-
tions and the adulations of the great
emancipator was widowed and his
sons and the entire nation were or
phaned.

The young Lincoln grew rapidly. Always
an invidious reader, he ever found time for
reading. In this pursuit he appears to have
been treless. but it seems not to have caused
him to isolate himself from the social life of
his primitive neighborhood. BY II he was six
feet four inches tall. His legs and arms were
long, his hands and feet big and his skin dry
and yellow. His gaunt face and melancholy
gray eyes were set in cavernous sockets above

His shoes, when he mad any, were low.
He wore buckskin breeches lnsey-woolsey

shoes, thereby exposing his shin bone, sharp,
blue and narrow"
But this girl cared for him, even as, much
later in life, she was proud to have known him.
Trivial as it may seem, the verse penned
by him when he was II, at the time of his
sister Sarahs marriage to Aaron Grigsby, may
give some insight into mis- lifelong estimate
of the attitude of man toward woman. These
are the concluding verses:

The very great decrease In typhoid

harmony with general experience. Ac-
cording to recent bulletin of the
Vermont state board of health. the ef-
feet Of change In the water supply in
seven American cities has been to re.
duce the combined annual average
death rate from typhoid fever by some
20 per cent. But 1t must not be for

main cause of epidemics of typhoid. II
Is not the only carrier. The same au-

or vegetables raised in polluted soil.
These various agencies will explain
why filtration of the water alone does
not entirely eradicate typhoid, while
