WHY LINCOLN GREW A BEARD
Amusing and Pretty Little Story Of >
Wee Miss Who First Suggested
Il TO Him.

There are thousands Of authentic
portraits and pictures Of Abraham
Lincoln in existence today. When he
was young lawyer in Illinois, rid
ing the circuit" in the country dis
tricts Of that state, he was photo
graphed by local photographers hun
dreds Of times, and gradually, as he
became famous in politics, his picture
was taken many more times by expe-
rtenced and skillful photographers in
the larger cities, each one of them at
tempting to excel the other in the
best likeness, Of the man who was
occupying so much attention through
out America and Europe, says a writer
in Pittsburg Dispatch. Naturally, too,
during mis- administration, and as a
successful close, he was not only
snapped, but caricatured at every pos.

Mrs. Briccs' Speech.

If brevity is the soul of wit, one Of
the wittiest speeches on record was
made by a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived
in the northern part of Indiana, long
distance from any village. Hearing
that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin was to
preach in township some twenty
miles distant, she resolved to be pres
ent, and as no other way offered, she
walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this and was
SO pleased at the appreciation which
it showed that at the close of the ser
mon he mentioned the fact to the con-
gregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs
to tell them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the
audience with great solemnity, and
said:
II hoofed it."
Then she sat down again.-Youth's
Companion.

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT Fob
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark Il as
Most Suitable Spot for pedE
cation of Great Work.


Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor Of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums OF
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy Of the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be great ed
ucational movement. It's success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center Of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 1880, 900
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within a radius Of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,000.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average Of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 2O,OOO,O0O. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only 8 large cities, with a COM
bined population of just 100000
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 792 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over rs per cent. of the people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama Exposi
ton, and il held in New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers to write tc

but pictures taken of him Immediately
afterward show him with the familiar
facial growth which characterized his
various pictures when he was presi-
dent of the United States. In con.
nection with his determination to
grow a beard very pretty little story
is told.
During Lincoln's presidential cam
paign he received letter from Ger.
tain small Miss" expressing very
frankly the opinion that she thought
he would look much nicer with "whis-
kers." The child's naive simplicity
evidently appealed to him, for he at
once began to cultivate" them.
Several years after Mr. Lincoln'E
death, the incident, by many people
considered a myth, became known in
detail, and was found to have an ex.
ceedingly substantial basis. The lit
tie girl in question was Grace Bedell,
who lived in Westfield, ChautaNqua
County, New York. Her father, who
was a stanch Republican, was a great
admirer of his party's choi,e for pres
ident in 1860, and one day carried a
big campaign poster home with him.
On the poster was picture of Lin
coin and Hamlin, around whose faces
was an appropriate border of rail
fences. Little Grace examined the
picture carefully, and then exclaimed:
"Mr. Lincoln would be twice as good
looking if he had whiskers like you,
papa"-over which opinion the family
had hearty laugh.
But the child was mortified at their
mirth and at the fact that her remark
was being made joke of when she
was in dead earnest about the matter.
In the privacy Of her room she deter.
mined to write to Mr.. Lincoln herself,
feeling sure that he would not mis-.
understand her, even though her own
family had.
Imagine her astonishmer:, when, in
the latter part of October, a letter
came to the village postoffce for
Grace Bedell, with a signature which
said, Your very sincere well-wisher,
A. Lincoln" The letter was as fol.
lows:
My Dear Little Miss-Your agree.
able letter of the 18th is received

They, with their mother, constitute my
whole family. AS to the whiskers
never having worn any, do you not
think people would call 1t a piece OF
silly affection If began wearing them
now?
Your very sincere well7wisher,
A. LINCOLN.
The letter didn't exactly promise he
would follow her suggestion, but ap
parently he took it to heart and acted
on it shortly afterward. He evidently
kept the girl in mind all the time, too
| for when he arrived in Westfield on
his campaign tour he asked from the
platform whether here was a small
miss in the audience named Grace
Bedell. When the surprised girl was
brought forward Mr.. Lincoln climbed
down off the platform, took her ur
in his arms and, kissing her said:
"You see, Grace, I've let my whis
kers grow for you"
And thus 1t has gone down in history
that it was on account Of child's re
quest that Mr.. Lincoln grew wits

supervisor of car service be appointed

ADVOCATES SEPARATE
STRUCTURE FOR THE
WOMEN PRISONERS
WARDEN JONES FINDS sENTI-
MENT AT NATIONAL PRISON
CONGRESS FAVORABLE TO RE.
MOVAL.

Columbus.-When members of the
finance committee of the next general
assembly consider the building of a
new women's prison, Warden Jones
will recommend that it be separated
from the mems prison and that it be
operated as a reformatory. Warden
Jones interviewed many pen officials
from other states on this subject
while at the National Prison congress
in Washington. Those with whom he
talked advocated a separate woman's
reformatory.
Several penitentiary wardens said
the reformatory should be managed
by woman, but Warden Jones said
he was not ready to recommend this
to the finance committee. At the last
session of the legislature, when the
finance committee was about to rec,
ommend an appropriation for con
structing a new women's prison on
the site of the old one, Secretary
Shirer of the state board of charities
revived the suggestion of separate
women's reformatory. The appropria'
tion was withheld and committee
appointed to investigate the feasibil
ity of the project. This committee
however, was retired lately because
of lack of authority.
Warden Jones said he was opposed
to the plan of giving full credit either
to prisoners or their families for theiI
work, which was advocated by many
delegates. Jones asserted a portion
of these earnings should go to the
state to pay the cost of maintaining
prisoners and to reimburse the com
monwealth for expenses incurred IL
prosecutions.
