A Shock For Shaw.

Bernard Shaw some years ago met
a young lady at dinner party who
said that she could read character
from writing. Mr.. Shaw denied belief
in her powers and said that at any
rate she could not read characters
from typcwriting.
Now, it happened that the host had
just got Il typewriter, and the young
lady offered to be put to the test. The
machine was brought, and Mr.. Shaw,
picking out the letters one by one,
wrote his first name. Then he dis
covered that he had used only capital
letters. So, shifting to the lower case,
he wrote his last name.
Then he handed the result to his
companion. This was what she read:
"BERNARD shaw"
Its as plain as anything" she said,
with a smile. 1T is your idea that
though there are good many Shaws
in the world, they are an undistin-
guished lot. You alone are Bernard
Shaw, and your name is great"

Iincoln's Cahinef

Lincoln hated to dictate He Shrank
from assuming to control the members
of his cabinet until forced by circum-
stances to take upon himself the re-
spOnsibility. His natural preference
was to work with rather than to lead
men. He could not bear to humble
any fellow being, however low his
rank. But he found as emergencies
arose that some one must rule and
that as president he alone was re-
spOnsible to the people. His courage
never permitted him to shirk a duty,
and thus little by little his power was
mOdestly put forth.
When the members of Lincoln'S cab
met first met probably no one among
them suspected that their counsels
would be ruled by the man who sat
at the head of the table. None of
them knew him, and most of them
felt they were the superiors OF the I'M
tried and unframed president. They
had all been chosen by him for polit-
zeal or party reasons. Four had been
his competitors for the nomination at

A Heaven of a Time.

Little Helen had developed the habit
of holding her thumb in her mouth,
even while eating. The mother had
resorted to all sorts of methods to cor
rect the child and finally in deSpera-
ton said:
"Helen, the first thing you know
you will swallow your thumb, and then
what will you do?'
"Well, mother, should hate to swal-
low it, because I'd have heaven OF
a time without it,"
"Why, Helen" said the astOnished
mother. Where did you hear an eX.

LincoIn's Odd Appearance.

Lincoln's favorite outer garb as he
sailed forth in winter for his office
was an ancient gray shawl. He took
particular pains never to have his hat
brushed or his shoes blacked. His
carpetbag threatened at the seams to
disgorge its burden of legal docu-
ments, His green cotton umbrella had
no handle to speak of, and inside was
the legend, "A. Lincoln" the letters
cut out Of white muslin and sewed to
the faded cloth. Altogether he looked
like the advance agent of a Denman
Thompson show. In 1856 pair of
spectacles cost him 3712 cents.
The office was in character with the
notorious indifference to appearances
of the senior partner of the firm. Once
a young law student attempted o
blaze a trail through the accumulated
rubbish and found that some seeds
given by congressman had taken root
and sproutcd in the dirt.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
How She Helped Lincoln With "Uncle
Toms Cabin"

In that little heroic advance guard
of men and women who battlcd val
iantly for the spread of anti-slavery
sentiment in this republic Harriet
Beecher Stowe was most Conspicu-
GUS Her propaganda was conduct
cd within her own domestic circle,
and her potent weapon was her pen,
but it accomplished marvels. Her
"Uncle Toms Cabin" was a real In,
vincible armada. Once launched, there
was nothing that could silence its
guns. On its earliest appearance in
serial form it began its career as an
Cducative force, and it grew daily as
maker of sentiment.
Nor did it matter much that 1t was
work which. measured even by the
standards of the time, was not esteem
cd q notable example of literary handi-
craft That it was never accepted by
those whose opinion should have been
final as true picture of conditions as
they actually were did not in the least
initiate against its potency as re-
forming agent. 1t kept right on in its
victorious and convincing way regard

Not GUILTY.

A very dignitied and precise lady
who lives In a suburb of Boston went
away from home on a fortnight's visit
to some relatives not long ago. After
her return she was making an inSpec
ton of her house and came across Il
number of large, black, empty bottles
in corner of the cellar, partly GOV
cred with ashes. When, at the con
clusion of banking hours, her husband
came back from Boston, she met him
at the door with the query, Jim,
where did all those empty bottles down
cellar come FROM"
Affecting an air of puzzled surprise,
the honest man replied: I'm sure
don't know, my dear. never bought
an empty bottle in my life"

 OF NEVADA COUNTY

What do you think of an as- semble of old citizens who have lived in Nevada County 40 years or more, men and women, to come together at some place that may be designated by a delega- ton to meet in Prescott sometime in May, who shall fix the time and place and arrange for a pro- gram suitable for the occasion.
 This seems to me to be timely and would certainly be in accord with my nature. This may in- clude any who have been citi- zens and have gone away and returned for the occasion.
 Yours for the assemblage,

The three candidates for con- gress from this district spoke here Wednesday to a respectable crowd at the court house. Each candidate was well received and it is believed here that each will receive quite handsome vote. It is to be regretted that Messrs. Wallace and Goodwin have seen fit to again thresh out to the public the political mess that they got into two years ago. But we can always trust it to the people to settle the matter and settle it right. D. L. King, who is solely the cause of the recent appearance of the King Comet, engaged the attention of the house for about 30 minutes, try to impress upon their minds the importance of leaving Wallace and Goodwin at home and allow ing him to go to Washington and draw that "Prircly salary to a Queens taSte.'

Adolph Felsenthal, of Camden, and one of the best business men in this, or any other section of the state, and candidate for R. Road Com. from this district, was here Wednesday and visited the many business men of this city and met quite a number of country people in behalf of his candidacy.
 Mr. Felsenthal is not a politi- clan. but is a business man of the very highest type. and, if the people of this district want a thorough man of that character, they will make no mistake in nominating Adolph Felsenthal, Some people have politics as a hobby, but if he has one it is business. He talks about busi- ness, dreams about business, in fact. he does BUSINESS.
