When Lincoln Sat For His Bust,

Vn0n Lincoln SAt FOR IT'S Bust
When Winnie Ream, the sculptor,
was a mere child still and her expert

busts and medallions she timidly ask
ed President Lincoln to permit her to
model his bust. II don't know why
any one should want the picture or
statue of so homely n man." he an

But when Senator Nesmith told him
that the western girl, "who was poor,
but talented" would be disappointed
If unable to secure this favor he turn
ed quickly and said: "she is poor, is
she? Well, that Is nothing against her.
and l will sit for the model"
During the sittings the great mar
would watch with much interest the
hands of the girl sculptor at her work;
but, speaking of him later, she said:
"For the most part he vas sad and
silent, weighed upon by the stress Of
a nation in peril and his own recent
personal loss Of a beloved son. All,
those were sad days at the White
House! One day the presidents eyes
were full of tears as he turned from
gazing out Of the window, and he said

A Scotch Anti. Golf Law,

Scotland, as everybody knows, is the
land where golf originated and the
land where it most 1ourishes. But If
the law were strictly enforced north
Of the Tweed it would go hard with
the players of the royal game in bon
ME Scotland" Golf players there may
not know it, but they are liable to a
sentence Of death for their indulgence
in their favorite sport. Technically
this is literally a fact. In ancient
times, when Scotland always had work
for her soldiers to do, all young men
were required to perfect themselves in
archery. They preferred to play golf.
and so serious a rival did the game be-
come that 1t was for a time suppressed
and made a capital offense. That curl
u law never has been repealed and
may still be found on the statute book.
There seems to be no record, however,
Of the law ever having been enforced.

Tho Drummer's Sermon,

Certainly l will make a few re-
marks says the cigar salesman who,
because of his solemn garb, has been
mistaken for a man Of the cloth.
Ascending the platform, he says:
"Men are much like cigars. Often
you cannot tell by the wrapper what
the filler is. Sometimes a good old
stogy is more popular than an i'm.
ported celebrity. Some men are all
right in the showcase on display, but
are great disappointments when you
get them home. No matter how fine
a maj is, eventually he meets his
match. A two-fer often puts on. as
many airs rs a ~fifty-centcr. Some men
never get to the front at all except
during campaigns. Some are very
fancy outside and are selected for
presents. Others have a rough ex.
terror, but spread cheer and comfort
about them because of what is inside.
But all men as all cigars, good or
bad, two-fers, stogies or rich or poor,
come to ashes at the last."-San Fran.

Movino Books,


Many persons complain that their
books suffer In transit. The head of a
moving company was interviewed on
this subject. and he said: After sev-
eral years. experimenting with differ
ent things for the best conveyance of
books l have found that the use of
small boxes Is by fur the most advis-
able. the smaller. the better. These
boxes are easily secured for a few
cents from your grocer. For storage
purposes. where the matter Is left to
us, we move books in long, narrow
boxes fitted with handles made espe.
cially for this purpose, but this is not
necessary, Of course, for the ordinary
moving. Barrels simply ruin books,
and large boxes filed with heavy vol
umes have caused more than one strike

Oriuin Of Commerce..

Commerce-the international traffic
in goods as distinct from domestic traf-
1c-was undoubtedly originated by the
wonderful little people known in his

traded with various peoples long be-

their respective frontiers. All along
the shores Of the Mediterranean and
up the coast of the Atlantic rs far
north as the British isles their ships
were to be found, leaving their manu-
features and wonderful dyes and bring

other articles as paid them to deal in.

Sayinu the Union.

Until we had a national game it was
silly, according to Ellis Parker Butler
in Success Magazine, to speak of the
loose group Of states as a nation. The
people had too much time In which to
talk politics. and whenever they talked
politics they became angered, and
whenever they angered they
wanted to secede or knock spots off
each other. There was no one great
unifying spirit. There was too much

Boston could not meet and talk in
curves; they had to talk slaves. I'M

When Finished.

Busy persons, forced to defend them
selves from interminable takers who
have little to say, car appreciate a hint
to which Henry Nv. of France once re-
sorted. A parliamentary deputy called
upon him and made a long speech.
The king listened patiently for a time.
then he decided that his visitor would
do well to condense his remarks. He
took him by the hand and led him to
where they could see the gallery of the
Louvre.
'sWhat do you think of that building?
When it is finished it will be a good
thing, will it not?"
EYES," replied the man Of many
words, not guessing what was coming
next.

Collecting an Old Debt.

The other day the manager Of a fur
niture house in town asked one Of his
star statesmen to collect a bill of long
standing, for which the regular COL
lector had been unable to get cash.
The manager told his man to threaten
a lawsuit If necessary. The salesman
said he would collect it without that
and went to the delinquent's Office. He
put the bill in the band Of his derby
hat, and with the hat held nonchalant-
ly in his left hand he strolled into the
inner shrine. The man at the desk
looked at him inquiringly and then
glanced down at the conspicuous bill.
"Well, what is it," he asked.
"Pardon me-" said the salesman in
his best manner, but could you tell
me is Mr.. Jones dead?"
"Why, no! I'm Mr.. jones'"
"Thank you. That's all wanted to
know" said the salesman and walked
abruptly from the room.
Next day a check came for the
amount.-New York Sun.

string is tied to the hoop. and the fish
Is hoisted to a pole on the roof of

Bandits Loot the
Village of Divide

BUTTE, Feb. 11.-Bandits looted
the town of Divide late last night, ac-
cording to a message here today and
obtained $500 cash and a considerable
amount of jewelry and stamps. There
were two men, both masked. They en-
tered the postoffice, blew open the
safe and stole the contents: and then
broke open the general store and took
everything of value that they could
quickly change for coin. The thugs
then went to the Divide hotel and held
UP the night clerk and secured small
sum of money. After terrifying the
inhabitants, the outlaws rode from the
town and a posse started in pursuit
shortly afterwards. Divide is 80 miles
from here and local authorities are
preparing to join the hunt if the ban
dts are heading this way.
