He inherited one of the largest landed
estates in the country. and as an ear
nest of his devotion to the cause he
proceeded to distribute 100000 acres of
it among the needy without distinction
of color, which was a daring deed for
that time. He was more ccnsurcd than
commended for his indiscriminate gen
erosity, but he met the criticisms Of
his opponents with dignity of speech
and manner that won him hosts Of
friends. In those days the term "abo-
litionist" was used only as an express
sion of reproach, but Smith assumed
it boldly and was prepared to defend
1t on all occasions. He was pre-emi-
nently one of those who made it possi-
BILE to elect Abraham Lincoln.
Edward Everett was by temperament
firmly conservative. He was first Of
all a scholar, and his tastes and his
principles made him the foe Of all dis
cord and violence. He had profound

Another woman whose talent afford
ed Mr.. Lincoln many moments of res
pite from his arduOus and soul rack
ing labors was Charlotte Crabtree,
who under the stage name Of Little
Lotta was the favorite American
comedienne of that period. Although
Miss Crabtree was still in her teens,
she had already achieved a national
reputation as a brilliant impersonator
of light comedy roles and had sung
and danced herself into the affections
Of the theater going public with a
cleverneSs that speedily brought her
fame and fortune. Not long before
the dreadful tragedy in Ford's theater
she played an engagement In Wash
ington, and the president and his fam
lily were among her most appreciative
admirers.
A famous woman whose intellectual
ity and remarkable oratOrical power
made her n person of remarkable in
terest to the Lincoln family was Anna
Z. Dickinson, who at that time was
at the zenith of her fame as lecturer
against slavery and disuniOn and kim
dred topics. Miss Dickinson was an
early advocate of emancipation and
was accustomed to make frequent
visits to the White House to urge Mr..
Lincoln to take the step. On these
occasions Miss Dickinson was received
with the most generous hospitality,
and her ultra radical views were given
respectful consideration.

Dry Of once having been the means OF
contributing to the entertainment OF
Abrah ham Lincoln is Teresa CarrenO,
now the most distinguished female
piano artist of the day. In those days
she was being exploited as musical
prodigy" and even at that early age
she was the mistress of wonderful
technique. The Lincolns went to hear
the little Venezuelan maiden play and
were delighted with her. She was in
vited to the White House and played
for the president.
All of these women of genius whose
blessed privilege it was to dispel a
little of the gloom which was even

the greatest man of his age are still

Although they had found little oppor-
tunity in early life to cultivate a taste
for the theatcr, both the president and
his wife were especially fond of the
play and We're familiar figures ut the
capital's rather primitive places of

What Is For Breakfast?

Many housekeepers consider the bug
aboo of their daily work is arranging
the menus for the ever recurring
breakfast, dinner and supper. They
hail with delight any suggestions for
new dishes that will furnish variety in
any bill of fare. Breakfast is general
ly light meal in most homes, but its
simple menu should present some vari-
ETY., and every dish included in 1t
should be prepared with special care.
In my opinion, meat dishes should ap-
pear but seldom on the breakfast ta-
BILE, a little thinly sliced bacon or
piece of delicately Drowned fish be-
ing the exception. There is generally
quite enough starch, too in the break
fast menu without serving potatoes.
For your consideration let me suggest
one or two breakfast menus that will
be not only appetizing, but furnish the
required amount of nutriment as well:
Baked Apples.
Cereal With Cream and Sugar
Bacon and Poached EGGS.
Hot Mullins. Jam.
Coffee.
Sliced Oranges.
Cereal With Cream and Sugar.
Goldfish Balls.
Griddlecakes With Sirup.
Toast and Cocoa.
Fruit OF ANY Kind
Bacon and Griddlecakes.
Toast. Coffee.

enough variety to satisfy the most ex-
acting appetite and can be served in
quantity sufficient to appease any

them, why eat them at all: They are
largely water, woody fiber, with some
mineral matter and flavoring extracts,
and any of these ingredients can be
obtained from any other vegetable or
fruit and possibly at less cost to the
digestive organs.
Then, too, the matter of nourishment
and cost should always be considered
when planning the meals for day.
When cucumbers, which are more than
90 per cent water. are selling for %
cents apiece the houSekeeper is hard
ly eXcuSable if she provides them for
her family at the expense Of eggs,
milk, bread or some other food from
which nourishment is derived. Eggs
contain about II per cent tissue build
ing material. Dried beans have about
20 per cent of the same constituent.
When the former are selling for 40
cents a dozen and the latter for
cents a quart it is the part of wisdom
and thrift to have baked beans on the
table more frequently than omelets or
soufiles.
The best all round dinner will in
clude a clear soup to stimulate the di-
gestive juices. IA properly cooked meat
dish, a vegetable or two-one fresh If
possible bread and butter, to which
simple dessert. preferably fresh fruit,
is added. Tea and coffee are not nee
essary for nourishment or for aids to
digestion. In fact, it is better to omit
them altogether. Once Il day is often
enough to serve meat to any family.
Even the farmer who is engaged in
active outdoor work will be just as
well fed and better nourished if he
eats flesh food only once a day and
gets his tissue building material from
eggs, beans. macaroni and cheese or
some other of the proteid foods. Sensi-
BILE people are learning even if slowly,
that a large amount of meat is not
necessary In the diet of even hard

He and his brother, W. w.. Gnash, arrived yesterday from Los Angeles to attend the annual stock holders meeting which will be held on January at the eompany's camp which is located six miles east of Humboldt.
 4 force of sixteen men has been at work the greater part of the year, but at present this has been reduced to six on account of the storm inter- fering with the transportation of sup plies and material. Work has been confined to the sinking of a four compartment shaft which is now down 435 feet. It carries four pipe lines the smallest being 2aI inches. Good punches of ore have been encountered at intervals but it is not expected that the main body will be tapped until greater depth has been attained. It is proposed to continue sinking and carry out an extensive plan of devel- opment. The Pick and Drill is one of Tba fev comnaniaS tbaf woe ab1a to raise money during the financial stringency of the current year, and its officers are accorded deserved cred it for their successful efforts in that direction. The company now, says President Gnash, is better financed than ever before, and he considers the outlook bright for the success of the Pick and Drill mine.

JUPITER PLUvIUS

From Sundays Dailyl

Prom Sundays Daily)
 It was a courageous citizen who ventured out of doors last night, for real winter storm was on-one of the kind almost that have made Chi cago famous for weather of the most strenuous variety and won for it the nickname "Windy City,"
 To a certainty no one could state that the New Year dawned like a lamb. Neither could anyone truthful ly say that the day was lamb-like. And as for the night-if it were not lionesque, then indeed the persons who had to brave the elements through business or social engage ments must have been members of the triumphant Peary party or even of the "cooked" Cook expedition TO the land where the snow and the ice fur nish a natural home the year around for the polar bear.
 Jupiter Pluvius was certainly on his high horse all day yesterday. Not content with letting fall frequent showers, he called to his assistance the wind gods and frequent short but nevertheless severe blows that al- most carried persons of their feet were the order of the day.
 Shower after shower fell. At times there were breaks overhead and sit looked as if Old Sol would come to the front.
 But it was not his day to shine, ap- parently, and he was down and out for the count all the time.
 The wind seemed to take particu- lar delight in sending hats through the air and many were the pedes- trians who were compelled to chase through the mud after their headgear, with the consequent result that more than one New Year resolution was severely tried.
 Granite creek, which runs through the city from the south to the north, was transformed in a few hours yes terday from mild, inOffensive stream into a raging torrent and the roar of the waters as they rushed, seething and missing along, could be heard for several blocks from the stream. For tunately the banks of the creek are high and strong and no damage was done in the city. It was reported at a late hour last night that the creek is still rising.
 About midnight the rain which had been falling nearly all night turned to snow and in a short time the ground was covered with the white mantle

TRACT GIVEN TO ACADEMY
 WILL BE IMPROVED
From Sundays DaiIy)


 Since receiving from F. M Murphy the mesa lands adjoining their aead- emy on St. Joseph's Heights, Mother Aurelia Mary of that educational in. stitution, makes the pleasant an nOuneement that in the due course of time the tract will be materially i'm proved and additional buildings erect. ed thereon. Q.
 The first matter to be taken up for consideration will be a separate building for the boys, to be located on the southern section of the strip, now occupied by a cottage. The new building will be a modern cement structure. This building is neeessi. tated by the increased attendance this year, the enrolment being 225, a record mark.
 Another improvement will likely be a fence around the entire area, that embraces ground 95O feet by over 300 feet. When this is finished an at- traetive athletic grounds will be laid out where the pupils may exercise.
 The aeeomodations of St. Jospeh s Academy this year are taxed to the limit, and a short time ago to meet the demand of an increased at tendance a new class room was neces- sary, and this is now being utilized. Many minor improvements are also contemplated, which will enhance the attractions of the institution.
 Mother Aurelia speaks in feeling terms of the generosity of MT. Mur- phy in bestowing the academy with such a desirable tract as is shown. With her eo-laborers she appreciates highly the donation, showing that men prominent in the business life of the country appreciate the labors of these Sisters.

PROSPECTS GOOD IN
 ALASKA AS FORMERLY

TUCSON, Jan. That the pros poets in Alaska are as good today as they were in the days of the fa- nous gold strike of years ago and that that far-away possession of the United States is destined to a great future is the declared belief of J. F. Roberts, who resides at Fairbanks in that territory. MT. Roberts has just arrived from visit to his sis ter, Mrs. G. D. Fitzsimmons, at Mon terey, Mexico, and will spend a few days with his brother, J. M: Rob erts, in this city.
 The two brothers had not met in 30 years, having parted at their for mer home in Ohio when J. P. Rob- erts was but lad of six years. Mir. Roberts has been resident of Alas ka since 1897, and has been. engaged in mining there. He has met with considerable success in his ventures.
 Speaking of the operations of the Guggenheims in. that section, he stat ed that the famous Colorado capital ists were rapidly opening up the coal and copper regions of the Copper riv- CT country. They have completed about 100 miles of railway into the new copper fields and expect to en- rich themselves from the coal depos- it's alone. The Guggenheim opera tions in Alaska are what brought up the Ballinger-Pinehot controversy in the beginning, and considerable interest attaches to them.
 Fairbanks, where MT. Roberts is located, is about 30 miles in the interior from Valdez and is at pres ent reached by stage. II is said co be live and growing city. The gov ernment has established a wireless station there as well as at many oth- CT points in Alaska. Telegraph lines have also been strung over the eoun- try by the government.
 MT. Roberts reports that when he left Alaska the Innoka diggings in the KOsquiwim district were expert eneing a rush of prOspeetors because of new finds. He declares that that district is destined to become as i'm portant a mining center as the Fair banks district

LARGE PROJECTS
 DEVELOPING IN GLOBE

Here in Globe many big projects are being carried on at present and by the end of the dawning year this camp will be in position, counting in the properties at Miami, to greatly increase fts output of copper, says the Silver Belt.
 The Miami Copper Company is erecting a 20OO ton concentrating plant and a great deal of the freight handled over the Miami extension is material and machinery for this mill. The Arizona Commercial Copper Com pany has erected a 500 ton smelter three miles east of Globe and this smelter will soon be reached by another Gila Valley, Glove and North ern extension. The grade is al erady completed and the track will be laid by February 1.
 In Globe itself many new build ings. are going up. The most inn portant of these is a fine new theatre to be called the Empire. It will be completed by the first of February.
 Among the properties on which de- velopment work is being rushed is the Black Warrior, the new Hoval 4. Smith property, which has put the Coehise county promoter in the mil lionaire class. The Inspiration peo- pie are losing no time demonstrating the value of their property. It 's pretty well understood that the Cole Ryan interests have an option on the Miami which will mean that the prop erty will be numbered among those controlled by the copper eOmbina- tiOn now being effected.
 The entire Globe district is much interested in the combination. A number of properties will be affect ed, the most important being the Old Dominion, a Phelps-Dodge proposi- tion.

CARELESS SHOOTING.
CFrom Sundays Daily)


 During the observance of welcoming in the new year, some one either with malice in mind or unused to the handling of six-shooters, fired five bullets into the home of George Wood, who was standing near by. The other four bullets entered the house at different points and i'm bedded themselves in the wall, where they may be seen, with the exception of two that were extracted by MT. Wood and were shown yesterday. The calibre of the weapon was a .3S. The Woods residence faces to the west on Marina street, and the one who fired the five shots must have taken deliberate aim at the building from some nearby point, as other houses are located near on the opposite side of the street. Observers of the shoot ing on Montezuma street say that much careless shooting was noticed along that thoroughfare, the range of the weapons being decidedly of low elevation.
