A New Lincoln story

Lincolns birthday brought out a new
Lincoln story. This Is It:
Mrs. Eliza Wells of Ypsilanti, Mich.
is old now, but 81 years ago she wa.
fiippant young girl of Springfield, Ill
Her father, DR.. Taylor, was a chun
of Lincoln, and they officed across the
hall from each other. Looking through
Lincoln's uncouth exterior, the doctor
saw beautiful soul.
II didn't like him them, says Mrs
Wells. q thought he was so ugly
Presently the cholera came to Spring
field Taylor was bus-, day and night
Lincoln helped and cheered him and
when medicine was needed for the
poor spared a few bills from his lean
purse.
The strain and loss of sleep put the
doctor on his back with typhoid fever.
Lincoln spent much time at the bed
side and when the doctor was dying
leaned oven the bed and said:
Don't worry, doc, about going. I'm
left to look after your family
II won't, Abe" were Taylor's last
words.
Two weeks later Mrs. Taylor died of
a broken heart. leaving the young girl
doubly orphaned.
At the funeral they sent the daugh-
ter into the parlor to her mothers
coffin alone. Dazed with her sorrow,
heartbroken. shaken with dry sobs,
she threw herself across her mothers
coffin
Then" says Mrs. Wells, 81 became
aware of a gentle hand stroking my
hair. Poor Eliza Girl, come home
with me now" And, looking up. she
says:
Il saw the kindest and most beauti-
full face God every created 1t was Mr..
Lincoln's."
coins soul, and he was no longer ugly.
For two years the girl lived as a
member of Lincoln's household in
Springfield. She says he was always
housing some forlorn waif, much to
the discontinue of Mrs. Lincon.
After two years Eliza was married
in the Lincoln home. When her hus-
band died, shortly following the birth
of the first baby. Mr.. Lincoln looked
after her as If she had been his own
daughter.
Lincoln's biographers lost something
valuable when they omitted that story.
He belongs to the ages"
Thus spoke Secretary Stanton on the
morning of that fateful day in April
1865, in the room of the house across
from Fords theatre as he put out his
hands to close the eyes of Abraham
Lincoln when he had breathed his last.
But
The Lincoln we want to know is the
one who got off his horse to put the
fiedgelings back in the nest whence the
storm had blown them, the Lincoln
who took to his home and heart the
orphaned girl.

Heart Treasures

In the windows of church hangs d
beautiful painting of the Madonna and
the Child.
The picture cost $1,000 and was do
mated by a member of the church. The
donor, you conclude, was some wealthy
member of the congregation.
No.
The picture was presented by one of
the humblest members, Mrs. Anna
Kuehn, a widow and a washerwoman
The story that goes with the picture
is greater than the picture-aad more
beautiful.
The gift was a memorial of the poor
womans dead boy, her only child, who
died at the age of years. several
years ago.
By patient toll at the washtub, by
| the most pinching economy, Mrs.
Keuhn saved the thousand dollars.
When the reporters visited her hum
BILE home this woman, who had given
much more than the Widows mite,
who had given grinding years of toll
and anxious hours of close savings
asked that her name should not be
used.
1T was for my little boy who died,
she said. 1T makes no difference to
other people"
| - waste VI Soou lio1eys says the
unitarian.
Let's see.
! Do you remember the immortal sto-
ry of the woman who poured her cost
! ly ointments at the feet of the Christ
1000 years ago?
And do you remember what the dis
ciples said?
| They said it was a waste of money
the foolish woman should have sold
the precious spices and given the
money to the poor.
| The Master saw 1t differently.
He knew better than his poor fisher
men followers the tremendous value
of a genuine sentiment. He rightly
estimated the priceless rarity of real
heart tribute. He knew that heart
treasure was poured out along with
| the ointment.
| And so exalted a place did he find
| for the fine act of that woman that he
declared her story should be told to
the ends of the earth. And it has been
so told.
| Why does the world still hug to its
heart that Bethany story?
| Why is the world touched by the
| tale of the poor woman who hid in her
heart great picture in, honor of her
baby boy?
| Why? Because, my friend, there are
things of more value In this world
than money or success or fame or
pleasure. Ei'' in the heart of a worn-

Judge Lindsey of Denver, friend of
boys. founder of the juvenile court, tells
a story that touches the heartstTtngs.
1t is about a boy named Tim, aged IL,
who would run away from school.
Though many times admoniseed by the
i1,dee and arrested for truancy again and
again. the teacher continued to write TO
the judge:
Tim will stay out of school to work"
In one of his lectures Lindsey inn
pressed upon the boy the need of edu-
cation and told him there would be
plenty of time for work when he got TO
be man.
MY father was a man., responded
Tim. and he did not work He went
OF and left me and my mother, and
guess that was what killed her,
Finally one day Tim appeared in court
with a happy face Waiting until the
session was over, he asked the judge
FOR private interview
After Lindsey had taken the boy into
his private chambers Tim pulled paper
out of his pocket and gave it to the
judge
said the boy: Now. judge. Tn going

lecture me any more I've got that

Lindsey looked at the paper. 1t was a
receipted bill for $50 from a Denver

The Probability Is that Commence
n,cnt Programs viii he Rendered
During the Closing Weeks OF the
School Year---Graduation Comes
I'm June.

Plans for the annual commencement
exercises are being made In the Ma
rion High school The members of the
committee appointed by the board are
working with Superintendent Frank
and members of the faculty in an
ardent effort to arrange the exercises.
Many difficulties are being faced and
the members of the board are puz-
zled to know just what method to
pursue.
1t was recently arranged TO hold
an early commencement I'm order To
lessen the heavy work of the teachers
In the High school at the end OF the
year and II was planned to hold the
exercises I'm the school auditorium al
various intervals with the first pro-
gram rendered perhaps so early as
March. 1t was seen that the program
could not be well rendered at this
time and the teachers entered an OBJ
lection. AS n result the first program
will probably be given early in April.
There are about sixty young people
to be graduated and number of pro-
grams are to be rendered. The board
clothes worn at the time when the
program is given may not be suit
able at the close of the year when
the diplomas are given out and 1t is
stated that caps and gowns may be
adopted and the young people will
be required 10 wear them. The prob
lem of invitations Ii also being wrest-
led with. The young people declare
they cannot issue invitations to their
| friends when they are to appear at
one time in n program and at an
other when the diplomas are present
| ed.
Whether to employ a commencement
speaker has been causing much dis
cussion among the board members
and has been practically decided to do
away with this features this year. All
of the graduates will appear in pub
! lie and at the final program In the
Grand Opera house they will be pre-
sented their diplomas. 1t Is feared by
the board members that some of the
young people may appear on the pro-
gram whose grades, are not sufficient
Nv high to warrant q diploma at the
end of the year as result of negli-
gence from the time that the pro-
gram is given until the commence
ment proper Is held.

be held soon and definite action Will
be taken.
