The liyino Lincoln.

How well | remember when Lincol
lived at Petersburg, Ill. carrying the
chain for surveyors party and work
ing for 10 cents day. The surveyors E
wife told me that she often saw him
studying at night. seated on the cellar
door. reading Blackstone often until
midnight by the light of the moon.
Lincoln always took note OF the
light and dark of the moons. as is
shown by an incident which occurred
during his early practice of law A
murder was committed in the neigh.
borhood OF the village. and the son OF
the surveyors wife was arrested or
suspicion from the testimony of an
eye witness" In the meantime Lin.
coin had swung out his shingle as a
lawyer, at Springfield. and on this
occasion nobly did he prove that the
kindness of the surveyor was not for
gotten by the student who read Black
stone by the moonlight
He went to the jail and questioned
the young prisoner. who asserted his
innocence, and Lincoln took up the
case
At the trial the witness swore thai,
he saw the murder committed
Might you not be mistaken" asked
Lincoln. "A dim light is deceptive
and it was dark night"
The witness FASTENED to reiterate
that it was bright moonlight. where
upon Lincoln promptly pulled from
among his books an almanac, and said
calmly:
1t is not necessary for me to make
plea. for no jury can place any re
lance on a witness who will swear
that 1t was moonlight night wher
the almanac proves that it was the
dark of the moon. Daniel w. Ayers

mETHOD|STS ON
FAIRBANKS CASE
BISHOP WILLIAM r. MCDOWELL
ANSWERS ARCHBISHOP IRE
LANDS COMMENTS.
IN VIGOROUS DEFENSE
COMMENDS MR.. FAIRBANKS AT.
TiTUDE IN REGARD TO RE-
lIGIOUS FREEDOM,

Chicago.-The misunderstanding be
tween former Vice President Charles
Warren Fairbanks and the Vatican at
Rome, ending in the failure OF Mr..
Fairbanks to hold his scheduled audi
ence with the Pope on SUNDAY, be-
cause of withdrawal of permission by
the Vatican, has resulted in a c0ntro-
versey in Chicago between representa-
tives of the Roman Catholic and Meth
odist Episcopal churches
The attack on the Roman missions
of the Methodist church by Arch
bishop Ireland brought quick, vigorous
defense from church dignitaries. mis-
sion workers and others, Bishop Will
lam F. Mcdowell, of the Methodist
diocese OF Chicago styled Archbishop
lreland's charges as SANDER said
their utterance was utterly unbe-
coming church dignitary." and said
il was the Vatican that appeared in
bad light in the affair.
Bishop McDowell's answer to Arch
bishop ireland was as severe as the
charges against the Methodists has
been. He said:
ne WOTh OF CQe MetnOQlSt dSSOcl-
alton IN Rome is not one whit more
perniciously proselyting' than the
work Of the Paulist fathers and other
Catholic organizations in America.
Such charges are simple slander. and
such statement is utterly uubecom-
ing a church dignitary like Arch
bishop Ireland.
Amy body who knows the work in
Rome knows it speaks for itself 1t
has the approval and support OF many
OF the best citizens of Rome and the
school is patronized by the children of
many of leading families. | do not
care. of course, to defend our work in
Italy. but it is evident that Arch bishop
Ireland, from his interview, is greatly
disturbed by what has been done. For
ourselves, we greatly admire Mr..
Fairbanks dignity and thoroughly
American attitude. His words in ref
erence to religious freedom and toler-
ance were spoken in the best and
truest American spirit.
Nobody in this case appears in
bad light but the Pope's advisers and
possibly the Pope himself

of the china service which Mrs. Lin
coin selected for the White House. and
which Col. Crook declares TO have
been more beautiful than any table
ware purchased before or since for
use on the presidential table. Among
the pieces are Gun and saucer which
Lincoln used, These. like all of the
pieces Of this service. are ornamented

Quinine AS An Anesthetjc,

Kansas City, Mo.-Out of the back
woods of Arkansas has come a medi-

the faculty of the University of Kansas
Medical College declares is superior to
any other in medical knowledge. DR..
Henry Thibault of Scott. Ark, is the

up and down he could hear the great
man sigh or moan in his sleep after a

Occasionally he would have to awake

such interruptions. On one occasion

Crook. who had been on duty all

pany Lincoln to Fords theater on the
night OF the assassination. He ALWAYS
refers to his absence on this occasion
with deep regret, for he had special
system his own for guarding the
president o.. such public appearances
and he is convinced to this day that If
he had been at his usual station at the
door Of the presidents box, Booth
could never have passed him. There

facts heretofore adduced.
Miss kellar's detailed story of the
last moments of Colonel Swopes life
replete with startling features of hap
penings in the Swope household, pro-
duced a sensation. So carefully had
her story been guarded that, although
much has been written and rumored
about the case, not until Tuesday had
anyone outside the immediate circle
interested in the inquiry heard her mar
rative.
Miss Kellar testified that immedi-
ately following the death of Colonel
Thomas Moss Hunton, DR.. B. C. Hyde
asked her to use her influence with
Colonel Swope to have him appointed
administrator of the Sw0pe estate
Hunton had been the administrator.
