Lincoln fulfilled the ideal

the governance of those who
are to choose judges and
rulers of the people: "More-
over, thou shalt choose out of
all the people men Of strength,
such as fear God, men Of
truth, hating their own gain
He was a man of that moral
strength which is the noblest

do the right though he must
needs stand alone. Let uo
not forget his strength, who
was as strong as he was sim
pie, mot only strong enough
to oppose an unjust war, even
though waged by his country.
So strong was he that, re-
fusing to be goaded on by his
friends and unafraid of his
foes, he issued the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation at the right
hour, when it was destined to
achieve the greatest good.
Man of strength was he who
three days before his assassin
alton, gave voice to the guild
ing rule of his rule of his life:
=" Important principles may

in his Cooper Union address,

prophetic burden, "Let US

Now on top of all the other
election scandals that have
come from different parts of
the country, it is alleged that
the election of Speaker Can
non may be subjected to Con
gressional investigation. The
grand jury in Danville, Hi
nois, has been going into the
charges made respecting the
purchase of votes, and if there
is a real investigation as to
the matter and it results in
bringing sensational disclos-
ures, it is not at all unlikely
that the Speakers foes at the
capital will make the most OF
any opportunity that may pre-
sent itself.

Kindly Remembrance.

DO you suppose Cook and Peary

Certainly" replies the man who

He leaned his head upon his hand
And thought with deep dismay
About the things that he must get
To give on Christmas day.
The cook he sighed, must have the
best
I know how to select,
Or otherwise she'll quit, and then
Our household will be wrecked.
''The second girl must have a gift
That will delight her heart
Or she will frown upon my wife
And say that they must part.
The man who tends the furnace-he
Must be upon the list
Or else some frigid dawn the heat
That cheers US will be missed.
MY office boy must have a watch
Or a ten dollar bill
If 1 should fail in this I'd have
A vacant place to fill.
The janitor, the engineer,
The elevator boys
VIII call for tribute-and I must
Add something to their joys.
"The waiter at the club the chef;
The man who brings the milk;
The garbage man; the faithful cop
And others of that ilk
Must all be borne in mind, so that
None may be overlooked"
And so the names of each and all
With what to give, he booked.
He ran his eyes adown the list
And found it was complete
And thought about the Christmas bills
That would be his to meet
"Alas!' he wept, "It is too bad''
He shed a bitter tear.
II find I can afford no gifts
For wife and children dear!"
