The site Of the fountain is about twenty
feet above the grade of LIST street, and
the approach from that point will be by
a series of wide granite steps divided by
two landings and finished with copings
and pedestals. A wide stone pavement
will surround the fountain. with a large
granite bench on each Of the four sides.
Paths will connect the fountain with
other sections of the park. Its site Is
regarded a. especially suitable. as it per-
mits good landscape treatment. The
work of preparing the foundation and

tain will be erected in the fall.

Preparations for the wedding went
on apace, for it was now Wednesday
and the ceremony was to be per
formed on Saturday morning in the
little chapel near the estate. Though
both parents had opposed having the
marriage in the secluded church they
were forced to yield to the wishes Of

TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN.

On the anniversary of Lincoln's birth
Comrade John T. Bell, editor Of the
Modesto (CaL) News, wrote a tribute
to the great President of unusual liter
airy and historical merit It concluded
with:
Finally, when this good man was on
the verge of despair, there came a
gleam of light, not from the East, but
from the West. That modest, silent
soldier, Grant, was winning victories,
and Lincoln took fresh courage. Here
was a man who never asked for more
troops, but handled with mastery skill
those he had, who never found fault
with conditions, whose suhordinates
never 'quarreled. This man he invited
to call on him one day in March, 1864,
handed him a commission which put
him in command of a million soldiers,
and told him that he would have at his
service all of the resources Of the Ma
ton, and that all he asked was for him
to adopt his own plans and win vic
tories in the future as he had won
them in the past. Than, after four
dreadful, dreadful years, there came a
day when this soreIy distressed and
harassed man walked the streets of the
Capital of the late Confederacy, the war
practically ended, black men and wo-
men and children thronging about him,
eager to touch the garments of one
who was to them the direct agent of
the Almighty in breaking the bonds
which had shackIed the black people
in the South for ESQ years. Eleven days
later an assassin's bullet ended the life
that had been So full of benefit for his
fellows, SO full Of sadness for himself"
