Lincoln could not sympathize with
those Union generals who were prone
to indulge In big promises, but who
never accomplished anything. In
speaking Of a general of this type one
day he said:
These fellows remind me OF a man
who owned a dog which, so he said.
just hungered and thirsted to eat up
wolves. 1t was a difficult matter, SO
from devoting the entire twenty-four
hours Of each day to the destruction
Of wolves.
"One day a party of this mans
friends decided to have a wolf hunt,
and as this particular dog was so Zero
cious, they said they wouldn't take any
other dog. The man who owned the
dog didn't seem overanxious to go on
the hunt, but he finally consented, and
the party, accompanied by the Zero
cious wolf-dog, started out.
"At last they sighted some wolves
and tried to Sic the dog on them. He
whined and whlmpered, but they final

and started him after the wolves.
Wolves and dog soon disappeared in
the timber.
THE hunting party got no trace Of
the chase until after a few miles they
came to a farmhouse. where they saw
a mar hanging over the fence.
Have you seen anything of a wolf

asked the hunters.
Yep was the short answer.
How were they going?'

saw them?'

Congressman Dawson, of the Second
Iowa District, has decided to be a can
didate for reelection.
With the installation Of the new re-
gime in governmental affairs in New
York City, for the first time in six
years the chief offices of the municipal
ity are not filled by men allied with the
Tammany Hall organization.
The joint committee of Congress,
composed Of six Senators and six Rep
r~esentatives, created to investigate the
official acts Of Messrs. Ballinger and
Pinchot, began its sessions. Lewis r.
Claws, special agent, was the first wit
ness to be examined. His testimony
raised a question of professional eth
les on the part of Ballinger rather than
Of official misconduct, the point being
that Ballinger. before becoming land
commissioner, had drawn up an agree
ment designed to convey the rights of
dummy entrants on certain public
lands in Washington to the Wilson
Coal Company. At this point CLAWS
was asked by one member of the com
mittee to state what he intended to
prove against Ballinger. T]hereupon

client was averse to formulating a spe-
cific charge and felt that this should
be left to the committee after hearing
the testimony. He promised that the
investigation would bring out more
than was contained in the charges filed
by CLAWS with the President.
Not satisfied with what he has al
ready written about the antitrust law
and its efficiency and the desirability
of having the federal control over rail-
roads extended, President Taft is hav-
ing a water-power bill framed that
goes far ahead Of anything that Roose-
welt conservationists ever proposed.
A resolution proposing that the
House shall elect five additional mem
bers to the Committee on Rules, four
to be Republicans and one a Democrat,
and that henceforth the speaker shall
not be a member of that committee,
which shall elect It's own chairman,

Ter - New Jersey.

Therefore it was that Jack Hilton

little. Nevertheless it was to Ninette's
knowledge of Jack Hilton. more thar

could have charged her utter failure
In disposing Of her second daughter &C
sording to her fancy.
After Jack went west Nora took the
pext man who came and was happy

h deserved to be. Not so Ninette.
Now, when Silas Harding died he

ow. But said widow was a good man
ager"-that is. she managed to dispose
Of all the extra funds-and when she
departed this earth, soon after her
slder daughters marriage, she left
nothing but the beautiful residence
whore Mr.. and Mrs. Jones had already
taken up their abode, much to her
ehagr:n and disapproval.
She did not believe In children re-
nalning at home, she said; but that
made little difference to Ned and Nora.
Ned Jones was poor; he believed he
was marrying an heiress. II that beau
dful stone house was all she was heir
70, at least they would have that.
They completely ignored Ninette's
share in the house, and appropriated
everything to themselves. Ninette
had a home there on su1erance, lest
che should attempt to claim her own.
Income she had lone. Therefore she
took a position in one Of the city's

have been expected under tho circum-
stances. most Of her wages went to
help tide over family expenses,
soon her salary was nearly as large
q the incompetent Ned's.
So matters stood when Jack Hilton
came home from the West, and, pass
ing the Harding house, recalled Nora's
blue eyes. Turning to a little shaver
standing on the sidewalk, he asked,
docs Miss Harding live here stillf"
Now, there had been but n Miss
Harding within the memory of this
small man, therefore he answered
t%ruthfully:
"Yeth, thir."
Jack Hilton had arrived at the time

Not that there were no women In
the West. 1t had only CHANGED that
he had not found the right one in
that longitude.
Now he remembered tho flowers he
used to send to Nora Harding-how

THOMAS AND NANCY LINCOLN.

Fit us for humblest SERVICE" prayed
This kindly, reverent man.
Content to hold a lowly place
In Gods eternal plan;
Content, by prairie, wood and stream.
The common lot to share.
Or help a neighbor in his need
Some grtevous weight to bear
Then trustfully resigned the life
That had fulfilled his prayer.
And she in Indiana's grave
This many a year who lies
Mother and wife whose yearning soul
Looked sadly from her eyes
Who. dying, called her children close
AS the last shadow fell,
And bade them ever worship God
And love each other we'll
Then to her forest grave was borne,
The wind her funeral knell!
So drear-so lone-who could have
dreamed
The boy her bed beside.
Forth from that cabin door would walk
Among earth's glorifed?
But. lol his name from sea to sea
Gives patriotism wings;
Upon his brow a crown is set
rande than any kings;
And to these fameless graves his fame
Iende remembrance brings.
All! still the humble God doth choose
The mighty to confound:
etlll them that fear and follow him
His angel campeth round;
