Effects Upon the Nerves Of Wrecks

Effects Upon the Nerves Of Wrecks
Upon tho Rails.
A wreck sometimes upsets even the
most iron nerved. Once the wreck
master on his arrival noticed q bare
headed man In overalls. covered with
coal dust and blood, sitting beside his
engine with tears running down his
face. He recognized him as the en-
gineer, who had been hauled out a few
minutes before from under the mass
Of twisted, battered steel that had
once been a locomotive. Singularly
enough, beyond a few cuts and bruises
he was unhurt. He was crying be-
cause he could not find his cap that
he had bought new that day and beg
ged the wreck master to help him
hunt for 1t.
A passenger conductor Of a train
that was derailed and had plunged
down an embankment crawled out of
the confusion and rendered cool and
efficient help during the half hour be-
fore the wreck train arrived. A little
later the wreck master CHANGED to
look around and saw the conductor
standing beside him holding a match
box to his ear and shaking 1t. Pres
emily he put it back in his pocket, but
took it out again in a moment and
| repeated his action.
"What's the matter with your"
| asked the wreck master.
"My watch has stopped. can't get
it to going. and I don't know what
time 1t Is" answered the conductor,
still listening to his matchbox.
The wreck master took the conduct
or by the shoulders and shook him
roughly. Then he "came to."-Thad-
deus S. Dayton in Halper's Weekly.

Lincoln's Favorite Poem,

According to those who knew him
most intimately, Mr.. Lincoln was never
again the same man after the death Of
Ann Rutledge, the best beloved" Of
his early manhood. He had always
been subject to attacks Of mental de-
preston, but after her death they be-
came more frequent and alarming. 1t
vas about that time that he came
across some verses in the Poets Cor
ner' of a rural newspaper which made
a strong impression on him. This was
the poem beginning "Oh, why should
the spirit Of mortal be proudY None
who eve heard him repeat these Won
derfully p%laintive yet curiously empty
lines in after life realized that they
served to keep in his memory a grief
which remained with perpetual in
sistence in his heart, to which he could
not with becoming delicacy allude d.
rectly, but there Is little doubt that
Lincoln never recovered wholly from
the loss Of his youthful fiancee.
For many months after the passing
Of this beautiful young woman Lin.
coin was utterly disconsolate and
made no secret Of the fact. It was
then that these ultra somber lines
seemed to furnish him with a vehicle
by means Of which he might give ex-
preston to some of the sadness Of
soul which overshadowed him. In the
words of n who knew him at the
time: HE was heard to murmur them
to himself as he slipped into the vii.
lage at nightfall after an evening visit
to the cemetery, and he would sudden
~ break out with them in little social
assemblies after periods Of silent
gloom. They seemed to come unbfd-
den to his lips"
That poem is now: Lincoln's very
OWL. The name Of the obscure poet is
lost to posterity, but his unpretenuous
work is associated im%perishably with
the memory Of one Of the worlds
greatest mel and interviewer with the
history Of his supreme sorrow.

turned on the piano stool with a naive
"Mr. President, is that enough for to-
day."
The tired, homely face Of the great
president relaxed into a smile which
the Baroness Cederstrom has not for
gotten to this day, so kindly was 1t
and so expressive Of wonder and ad-
miration for the singers art
Il look upon your visit to me as a
special providence" he said. Il shall
always remember It."
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
Lolita 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 amous woman whose intellectual
1ty and remarkable o%ratorical power
made her a person Of remarkable III
terest to the Lincoln family was Anna
e. Dickinson, who at that time was
at the zenith of her fame as a lecturer
against slavery and disunion and kin
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.

with her during her long and success

ment prevalent in the early sixties.
Although they had found little oppor-
tunity in early life to cultivate a taste
for the theater, both the president and
his wife were especially fond of the
play and We're familiar figures at the
capitals rather primitive places Of
amusement. Although his musical ap-
probation did not extend beyond a
hearty enjoyment Of the homely sing
ing Of the Hutchinson family, whose
ballads had contributed so powerfully
10 the spread Of anti-slavery sentiment
throughout the Union, Mr.. Lincoln
sometimes went to the opera. On one
Of these occasions he heard Adelina
Patti, then in the first flush of her
fame as a prima donna. The opera
was MARTA" and the diva sang 1.-THE
Last Rose of Summer" in English. The
president was delighted with the song,
sought an introduction to the singer
and invited her to come to the White
House.
The following day when the wonder
ful young song bird arrived at the ex-
ecutive mansion Mr.. Lincoln was deep
in the discussion Of some p%erplexing
war problem with the members Of his
cabinet. When he entered the parlor
in which the singer was waiting rather
impatiently his solemn countenance
was almost convulsed with anxiety and
apprehension. At sight Of the diva his
drawn features lightened %perceptibly,
