SONCE Lincoln said What words Of
~ weight are treasured
And linked forever with his deaihles5 name
Words tender, true. that by no scale measured,
W..G7e worth all future ages shall acclaim!
And Lincoln's deeds-hoVH wondrously recorded.
Beyond the skill of monumental arts!
Let others be to temple shrines accorded,
While his are craven on our loving hearts.
HONCE Lincoln said How many a merry
BY words like these are heraldcd each dayl
Though great his worth, though unsurpassed his
glory,
This is the homage we most freely pay.
His coursge-to historians we leave II.

But cherish most his simple. kindly ninth.
"ONcE Lincoln said" No trumpet note
With power so sure simple tale TO hear;
No other name has such spell to ,hnli
On such charm to hold the listening ear.
So shall it be in all the ages after.
The world itself shall feeble grow and old.
Be out Of tune with wisdom. truth and laughter.

APPLE TREE WORTH $50, 600.
Was Planted Twenty Years Ago b!
Washington Indian.

Thirty thousand dollars was the
sum recently offered an eastern
Washington nursery company for an
apple tree located near Lake Chelan.
The prefer was made by a syndicate
which desired TO propagate tDe tree.
1t was rejected by the nursery COM
pany, which will develop the fruit
itself
The tree is twenty years old, and
is called the Chelan. The fruit is
golden yellow and is said to be diff
ferent from that of any other apple
grown in Washington. 1t is also
said to possess exceptional keeping
qualities, a box having been kept
in storage in Spokane two years
without any marked deterioration.
Twenty years ago the story runs,
an Indian planted handful of apple
seeds, three of which grew The
fruit of but one of the trees was good
for anything. The tree is now of

WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS ?
Atlanta Society Woman Will Teach
Bridge and Give the Money to
the Church,

ATLANTA. Here is a queer case
in which a we'll known Atlanta soci-
ETY. woman and a we'll known Epis-
copal church, of which she is a mem
Der, seem literally to be robbing the
devil of his own favorite weapons
and using them to accomplish good.
The church is in need of funds for
missions and other purposes, and
this lady has announced that she is
going to teach the science of bridge
whist, giving lessons for pay and de-
voting the money to the church The
idea Of teaching card playing for
the glory of the church is arousing
widespread-well, widespread inter
est. The lady has announced, it is
stated, that she will charge so cents
to women and 81 to men, basing her
rates on the alleged fact that it is
harder for men to learn bridge than
for women. 1t is said that she has
already had many applications for
membership to her classes and that
If the scheme is pursued she will
make a good deal of money by it
for the church
Atlanta is always bridge crazy,
particularly the social set" and the
pupils of this most christian teacher
will come, it is believed, from prac-
tically all denominations.
Comment from those Atlanta min
| listers who are perennially declaim-
ing against the evils of card playing
is being awaited with intense inter
est. 1t has not been six months since
some of the Methodist brethren have
| denounced cards as a "devce of sa-
| tan"

CHINA TO TAKE CENSUS.
Her Claim of 100000, 900 Is Like
Claims of Some Georgia Towns.

Her Claim of 100000, 900 Is Like
Claims of Some Georgia Towns.
Away back in the foggy past some
body said that China was denseIy
populated; that the number of in
habitants was more than 100000
0O0," and that the people were so
crowded for space that they found it
difficult to earn a living. The army
advisory board at Pekin authorized
the announcement that anew CEN
sus of the empire will shortly be
undertaken. The board believes
that the population will be found
to consist of about 130,000,O00 per-
sons, and that they occupy a terri
tory of about 100000 square miles
which would be about 100000
square miles more than the area of
the United States and Alaska COM
bined. That would not look much
like so great a crowding of the peO-
pie that tens of thousands of them
would have to live on boats on the
rivers. Meanwhile it will not be
quite pleasant to have the pictures
and statements in our Biographies
disproVed by official statistics.

Famous Organizer of CoXy's Army
Is Today Wealthy.

Is Today Wealthy.
General Jacob S. Coxey, once ia
nous as the organizer and command
er of Coxey's army, which trans
crossed the law, keep off the grass, -
seventeen years ago in Washington,
visited the capital last week, but not
as in the old days when he was the
apostle of the unemployed and the
discontinued. In 1894 the general
was Loyalty inclined to share the sor-
rows and hunger Of his men, even to
sleeping in a tent when the army was
encamped outside of Washington
With other soldiers of the army he
paid the fine imposed for trampling
the lawn and sent up an appeal for
protection from the rich Oppressors
Since the days of Coxey's army
the general has gradually gotten in
to the class described by Roosevelt
as the wealthy malefactors, and is
now interested in big factories and
iron mills, which employ ten times
the number of men that were in the

1894. Nor has the general overlook
ed politics in his latter day prosper
ity He was twic. the socialist nom
inee for governor of Ohio, and made
a very clever campaign. Also he
has carried the socialist-labor ban
ner as the nominee for congress in
the old Mckinley district, and gave
money time and oratoricai excel
lence to the cause.
In spite of his more p1utocratic
associations in recent years General
Coxey continues consistently fervid in
demanding good roads and the issue
of non-interest bearing bonds. He
still asserts himself to be the friend
of the workingman and says that
one Of the present evils Of govern
ment lies in too many commissions.

Although the term gentleman

frequent use in this country the eX-
preston landed aristocracy" still
has a foreign flavor, and suggests
those who have inherited wide acres
from lucky ancestors who acquired
them by royal patent or some other
agreeable exercise of the divine
right of kings, writes E. J. Edwards

it calls to mind some of the titled
landlords of the mother country the
Duke of Buccleuch with his almost

Duke of Fife with $4,000 acres of

his 1856, 600 acres of sheep pasture
and picturesque landscape, the Duke
of Westminster with only 10000
acres of farm land, but cOnsOled with
the right and title to 600 acres in the
