Improve the Sand Roads

Mr.. j. M. Cook, who is sales man.
ager for the Cook Auto Co., of Or
lando, drove through from there to
this place Tuesday in three and half
hours, which goes to show that our
roads are getting in fairly good shape
for autoing. Mr.. Cook states that
with an expenditure of a few hun
dred dollars in cutting out roots and
filling in some bad places there
would be fairly good travelling,
which would mean more touring
through this section.
The auto has passed the experiment
tai stage and has become practical
necessity among large number of
business and professional men, and
the sooner all sections wake up to
the necessity of having good roads
all over the state we will note the in
crease of property valuations which
will more than make up the differ
ence in the cost of improving the
roads alone to say nothing of the
saving in time and comfort in get
ting about from place to place.

oHered the girl his heart and II eventually
was accepted. But Lincoln's happiness was
snort-IVed. Anne Rutledge sickened and died.
Lincoln was inconsolable.
Following this bereavement he plunged
INTO politics and statecraft and built the foun-
oation Tor his later life. During this period
ne met Mary S. Owens. He wrote love letters
TO her, but later on frankly told her that,
while he was willing to keep his engagement
with her, 1t were better for her own sake that
sne should not hold him. She accepted his
honest explanation and his second romance

changed from New Salem. Lincoln became
their guest and throughout his remaining life
numbered them as his stanchest friends. He
often descanted on the sound counsel and sis
terly care bestowed upon him by Mrs. Speed.
Although he became at this time one of
the foremost statesmen of Illinois, HIS pre-
vious experience caused him to douht his
own heart. He became engaged to Mary Todd.
After brief period, doubling his love. he
broke the engagement II even has been
charged that he deserted her when she was
attired for the wedding. To his bosom
friends, Joshua F. and Lucy Speed, Lincoln
described the parting:

suicide. Here again came In the sound infu-

POISON IN MIDDLE AGES.

In the middle ages so little was known oil
toxicology that all sudden or mysterious
deaths we're attributed to poison, but in the
light of modern knowledge many of these are
now easily explained by such diseases as APP
pendicitis gastric ulcer Even the Borgias
can be absolved from many of the poisonings
laid to their charge. Nevertheless. says the
British Medical Journal. from very early times
in Italy poison was a favorite means of remov-
ing an enemy. In England, France and Ger
many cruder methods of vengeance prevailed
and II was not until the sixteenth century
that the Medici introduced poisoning into
France. The fashion spread with terrible rap
idity and poison was employed In every rank
of society TO get rid of inconvenient persons.
The art introduced into France by Catherine
de Medici and her followers took root so
deeply as to blossom later into the black
magic of Louis XIv.'s reign

The Yale expositor., 1910-02-11

II is still true that Lincoln may have died at
the right time for his imperishable fame. he
had conducted an immense nation through the
most tremendous civil war ever waged and
rever committed single serious mistake. He
did not possess Hamilton's brilliant genius,
but Hamilton never saw the future more sa-
gaciously. He made no pretensions to Daniel
Webster's magnetic oratory. but webster
never put more truth in oratorical form for
popular guidance. He possessed Benjamin
Franklin's immense common sense and that
twenty-five address on the battlefield Of Get
tysburg is the high-water mark Of American
sententious eoquence. 1t Is fitting that after
such a career his own life should be the last
to be lost in that stupendous struggle He had
called over 100000 heroes to lay down their
lives and then his own life was laid down be-
side the humblest private soldier or drummer
boy of Gettysburg or Chckamauga."

The young Lincoln grew rapidly. Always

been tireless, but it seems not to have caused
him to isolate himself from tie social life of
