ABRAHAM Ll'ICOLM
AND PICKETT BABY
Best Story Of the Martyred Presider
Printed For First Time.

The recent death Of Major George L

story told by the widow of Genera
Pickett and mother of Major Picket

day following the abandonment OF
Richmond by the Confederates and
when the Union troops were in posses

alone with her baby boy, her husband
making the final stand with Lee and
his ragged and hungry veterans. II
may be needless to say that the wife
of the absent general was in no friend
ly frame of mind toward the conquer
ors, and her irritation was increased
by seeing body of negro cavalrymer
sweeping past her house.
The door opened and in stepped o
tall figure in solemn black wearing p
high hat. "Is George in?" said the in
truder without other word of introduc
ton.
"If you mean General George E.
Pickett" answered Mrs. Pickett Sc.
verely, 'he is on duty with the army"
George has been a bad boy" contin
ued the visitor, stretching out his Ions
arms and taking the baby, which seem
ed to like him at sight and cooed with
pleasure in his embrace.
Mrs. Pickett, still angry. could only
utter "Sirr
George has been bad boy" added
the caller, giving the baby a toss OF
two, to its great delight. and seeming
not to notice Mrs. Pickett's resentment.
He was the nephew of a dear friend
Of mine, and had him appointed to
West Point, but he has been a bad
boy" After pause, while Mrs. Pick.

on, But you can tell him when he gets

Il am Abraham Lincoln" was the
answer.
"WhatW exclaimed Mrs. Pickett
''The president of the United States?"
THAT is what they call me-" replied
Mr.. Lincoln. Then, handing back the
baby, he passed out with the parting
injunction, Don't forget to tell George
to call on me-"
The visitor departed Mrs. Pickett

Them In the Mail Service.
The government of Canada has made
an addition to the mail transportation
facilities of the country in the form
of fifty reindeer. The purchase was
made from DR.. Grenfell of Labrador,
The animals will be taken from Labra-
dor by boat to Quebec in September
and will go by train to Edmonton or
Athabaska landing. Scows will be built
to complete the journey down the
Athabaska river to Fort Smith, which
is the destination of the herd.
The reindeer proved great success
In Labrador, the original herd of 800

1,2O0. 1t is believed that the expert

1t is not given to many men to be
hanged and buried and yet be able to
tell the tale, but such was the expert
ence of one John Bartendale, who was
executed at York in 1884 for felony.
After his body had hung for nearly
an hour 1t was buried. A gentleman
passing by the grave, which had not
been filed up, thought he saw the
earth move, and with the help of his
servant he disinterred the convict, who
was still alive. 1t was the custom in
those days to bury suicides and exc.
cuted criminals, without any coffin.
The man was carefully treated and
entirely recovered. He became hos
tier at the coaching house in York and
lived a most exemplary life. When
asked what he could tell In relation to
hanging, as having experienced 1t, he
replied, when l was turned of
flashes of fire seemed to dart from my
eyes, from which l fell into state OF
darkness and insensibility."

Alternately In Each Ocean.
1t is the present plan of the navy
department to have the battleship
fleet spend about an equal amount Of
time in the Atlantic and Pacific as
soon as the Panama canal is open
to navigation. The great armament
known as the Atlantic fleet since its
formation will belong as much to the
Pacific as the Atlantic, and the persist
ent demands of the west coast for
adequate naval protection will be sat
isfied, at least partially.
Mr.. Meyer, secretary of the navy, is
already looking ahead to the effect
which the completion of the canal will
have on the fleet, which is to remain
intact after that event. Statements
that 1t would be divided under two
commands, one for the Atlantic and
one for the Pacific, are based on a mis-

 If those Yankees can do that we can, too. In fact we are going to show
 Alabama farmers how to farm. We have 1t all mapped out. Further
 more we have already planned what to do with the money. It Is figured out on the walls. backs of envelopes and on flyleaves of the childrens geographies. The figures are astounding, but easily within the bounds of reason. Indeed we have allowed for all possible con- tingency.
 We have already selected two of the
 automobiles VIC propose buying after the first crop is gathered and three
 architects are engaged ,n drawing plans for our summer residences. If the owners will sell we will buy one of the Birmingham dailies and op- crate it as sideline just to keep in touch with the city and its affairs. We have Q fine piece of soil, the best in Jefferson county. It is pleas ing to the eye. being a cross between the inside circle of rainbow and a ten of diamonds. It feels good and
 smells good We know :t is good soil and will produce bounteously if treated
 kindly.
 Farming is the most beautiful pro- fession in tht world. You plant the seed tyour congressman will furnish them free of cost) and then sit down | in the shade of the blooming apple tree and let them grow.
 A few weeds may come up and get in
 the way but you can pluck them up
 with your fingers or turn in the geese. Isn't it funny that geese will eat grass and weeds and not touch the cabbage?
 But they are geese.
 We have had but little or no experi- ence in farming. It should not take
 much, but we have some good neigh | bors upon whom we shall depend to help us out on knotty propositions. We
 may not know just what time of the

Dun,s Weekly Review

New York. January H.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 There has been a distinct improvement in the two directions in which the progress of business contraction has been most pronounced. This has attributed mo- tably to the growth of confidence without which active enterprise is impossible The larger activity in iron and steel shared Co some extent by the other industries the better feeling exhibited in the finan- cial markets and the increased confidence resulting therefrom are the three most important developments of the week The betterment in iron is chiefly in finished products, tin plate, wire and structural materials.
 The advance of s1 a ton in wire prod nets was closely followed by the placing of tine New York Central rail contract for 176750 tons. while several other rail- roads have taken moderate tonnages of this class of equipment. Encouraging de- velopments are noted in the structural department, where many deferred orders are coming to the fabricating mills and the transporting companies are giving out bridge work with greater freedom Tin plate operations are on a more active scale than for several months past, and the outlook in sheets is almost materially Improved. In pig iron however, demand has diminished in all eastern markets and prices are weaker
 The dry goods market is exhibiting more encouraging aspects in various lines and the outlook is thus more favorable despite the difficulties of adjusting prices to the cost of production It is noticeable that the better reports come from no one locality, but from most of the leading trade centers
 While the improvements in the business situations do not alter the fact that the volume of trade is still much below the average productive capacity, vet the in- dications of recovery from recent con traction are very welcome and encourae- ing.
 The footwear market shows no material change. There is still a contingent of buyers in the Boston market som. of whom have placed good sized orders as formerly noted, but the majority are con. tent to examine conditions and postpone the bulk of their purchases until their ie turn home.
 especially in sole and belting stock, ant transactions in New York and other mar kets have been on more liberal scale Prices of sole leather show a nrme tone, but upper leather is still ratAe quiet The hide market has developc considerable activity, especially in wester packers and Latin-American dry hid stock.

SAM DALEY WANTS AID
 IN WORK FOR NEGRO BOYS
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, January 27.-(Special.)- One of the interesting characters who is often seen in the lobby is one of the best negroes in the world, Sam Daley of Tuscaloosa.
 Long years ago Sam Daley drove hacks in Tuscaloosa, and he is favorably re- membered by practically all of the old alumni of the University of Alabama. Sam is one of those negroes who retain the traits and characteristics of the old ante- bellum negroes, and for that reason he has more friends among the white peo- pie than the majority of others of his race in the state.
 At the present time Sam is receiving and caring for the negro boys who are
