whom he had never seen before told
him that the broker was engaged, but
would be at liberty In few minutes.
While sitting idly In the waiting room
the young lawyer noticed something
that made his eyes almost drop out
The gloom Of the day necessitated the
use of artificial light in the brokers'

ground glass partition between the
two rooms the lawyer saw the shad-
ows of a man and woman. They
were both seated. the broker at his
desk and the woman beside and fac
Ing him. Every moment or so the
lips OF the shadows seemed to meet
affectionately. Something about the
profile of the woman struck the law

instantly and threw open the door.

The people of the United States join
hands today in celebrating the l0lst
anniversary Of Abraham Lincoln, our
first martyred president, who had a
wonderful career. He was the eight
eenth president Of the United States.
His parents were very poor, ne being
born in Kentucky log cabin. In 1880 his
father emigrated to Illinois. Lincoln
had no advantages, his whole life being
a hard and toilsome struggle against
adversely. He fell at the hand of an
assassin, in 1866, in his fifty-sixth year,
but not until he had seen the results
of his labors in behalf of our country.
He was "plain man." with an abiding
faith in the common people," and q
great love for them; they loved him too,
and understood him. He was natures
noble man. His oratory was simplicity
itself, but grand and imposing.

BUILT TO DEFY EARTHQUAKES
Tree Homes Of Mexico Made OF
Twigs and Grass interviewer
With Branches.

In order to protect their homes
from earthquakes many of the natives
In the territory around Chilpancingo
and other towns in the State of Guer-
zero, Mexico, live in trees. Some of
these tree homes are of large size
and are ingeniousiy constructed.
Reeds and grasses are interviewer
with the twigs and branches of the
tree, much in the manner that bird
builds It's nest
The severest wind seldom looses
these houses from the tree. Where
the trees are large and stand closely
together houses Of two and three
rooms are frequently built In their
branches. These houses also afford
protection from the tigers" and 9TH

its prey unless II is upon the ground.
The prime object of elevating these
houses into the trees. however, II to
keep them from being shaken down
by the severe earthquakes which visit
the Guerrero territory at frequent in
tsrvals.
The rocking Of the earth gives the
trees swaying motion that does no
damage to the houses. In some local.
tiles whole villages of these tree
homes are to be seen. None of them

Mr.. osborn's Pyrotechnics.

Sportive persons who had looked for
a catch-as .catch-can performance be-
tween Regent Osborn and Judge Mont
gomery were disappointed. Mr.. Osborn
had challenged the Judge to joint de-
bate on the constitutional proposition
that the Judge had no right to be can
didate if he remained on the bench. And
the Judge had responded by frigid
silence. Mr.. Osborn, being full of sur
prises, aud man of prolific and fear
less utterance, was expected to open
up the question on this occasion.
But he didn't. He paid dainty
compliment to the ladies'. related how
he loved Michigan, how he loved his
party, how he loved the people of his
party, how all the other candidates for
governor were his friends, and what a
splendid thing it was that men of the
type of Judge Montgomery were willing
to go before the people. He said that
he was mot going to do anything that
would hurt republicanism, and then
indorsed Congressman Fordney for
United States senator. He liked Pat
Kelley; but felt grieved to think that
Pat made business of politics, i" just
holding on to one Office long enough to
get another" also:

There is land so fair and bright,
Where nature did her work all right,
For with tyou can find no flaw,

Its soil is rich, its climate grand
With beauties found on every hand,

To boys of muscle, mind or will,
Who have the grit to fill the bill,
Just take chance and make draw,
There are no blanks in Arkansaw.
With the finest corn it does abound,
As fine as on the globe is found
If you want corn without flaw
Just pick and pull fer Arkansaw.

The stock grows fat in ArkanSaW.
If peaceful farming is your choice,
And in the fall you would rejoice
With crops all in fore freeze and thaw,
Then raise your corn in ArkanSaw.
The climates fine the year around,
AS any place that can be found,
For glorious weather is the law,
That rules the state of Arkansaw
No paradise on earth is found,
That lasts man the year around,
The hardest place to pick flaw,
Is the one spot called ArkansaW.
