ROBERT TODD LINCOLN, ONLY SURVIVING
CHILD OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
writer recalls a day in boyhood when
his father said to him during the ad-
ministration of President Arthur:
"Well, Robert Lincoln is going to be
our next president"
'Why?" asked the boy. How do
you know"
Because" answered the man, "he
is the son of his father, and, moreover,
he Is good man for the place"
But Bob Lincoln would have none of
it. He kept on practicing law in Chi
cago, where he still resides, and let
the mentioners keep on mentioning
him. He did absolutely nothing to
boost his own political fortunes. Why?
| know now since | have grown up.
This Robert Todd Lincoln possesses in
considerable degree that quality which
more than any other characterized his
illustrious father. Moral honesty Is the
quality meant. Commercial honesty,
business honesty, is quite another quail
ity. Moral honesty lies deeper. Abra-
would accept any favor which was
based upon the achievements OF any
other man. His tub stood on its own
bottom. He padded his own canoe.
And Robert Lincoln after him, has re-
fused to take political preferment
based upon the reputation of his fa-
ther. Now at SiXty-scven years of age,
eleven years older than was his father
when the Booth bullet cut him down,
Robert Lincoln no longer is mentioned
for the presidency.
President Garfield made Mr. Lincoln
his secretary of war when the latter
was only thirty eight years old Lincoln
did not seek the appointment. He had
shown his ability as a supervisor in
Chicago and as lawyer. When Garfield
fell before an assaSsin's bullet and
Chester A. Arthur succeeded him Rob
ert Lincoln was the only member Of
the Garfield cabinet who was retained,
and at the end of Arthur's administra-
ton he was the only member of Ar
thurs cabinet whose work was wholly
approved by the public
Back to Chicago and his law offices
went Lincoln, but when Benjamin Ilar
rison became president he made Lin
coin minister to England Lincoln did
not seek the post
Nevertheless Mr.. Lincoln Is a presi-

been president of the Pullman Palace

A Thought or Two on Harris"
By BONNIE BURNHAM


You see last night attractions pre-
vail in Harris, rather than first nights!
Night on the Narrows.
You may fish industriously all day
long in the sun and catch fish to your
hearts fulfillment.
You may, too, laugh until you can
laugh no more with the bathing crowd
and the fun that goes with it all.
You may loll on the broad Verandahs
and note the long late afternoon shad-
ows as they soften the verdure In cool,
deep spots, but you have not seea Har-
ris nor the narrows, nor the island be-
yond, unless you have seen them at
night time.
When the night has finally fallen
about you, and the moon and the stars
have found their reflections on the
bosom Of the black, blood-warm waters
Of the narrows, when the last lights of
the cottagers twinkle among the leaves
Of the trees, you push out gently from
the shadowy shore and you and your
thoughts are under the clinging sky,
out there with nature, as the slkiff re-
spends to the stroke Of the oars.
You need no words, you and your
companion, for in the great, beautiful
object lesson Of His purpose and His
work, the words of mortal are better
unsaid.
Two -poor-wills which are
hASdlly NlSlIOIS III ll4dI HCdNy WOOu
just over there, have commenced their
love song, and the winds have hushed
and the waters have ceased their
breaking on the shore.
You are, in silent communion with
perhaps the thoughts of others-an
nature-you and your thoughts, and
eloquent silence, that has wrested the
best in your being out to the surface,
and made you infinitely stronger and
better for it-and the night, with its
millions of untold things, has softly,
| slowly passed out Of your life like a
cloud rift over the moon, as the days
and it's cares pass lightly as shadows,
| too-at Harris!
Each moment out there in the calm of
NATURES domain has been a prayer for
better and nobler things, and for
| strength to go back to the world and
| it's strife and misunderstanding
moment has brought you nearer and
nearer to great, Misunderstanding
God-who, in His wonderful nature
work with it's revelation Of His great
power, at one time or another speaks
| to us all!
