TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN

On Tuesday morning there was IN
yelled in the little city OF Frankfort,
Ky, a bronze statue to the mem Dry
of Abraham Lincoln. The president
of the United States was in attend
ance, and many who wore the bule
and the gray. The statue was receiv-
ed by Governor Wilson, who said that
proof Of a reunited country is made
evident in the selection of Henry
Watterson, a Confederate soldier, to
formally present the image of this
great president to the people of mis-
native state" He added: The great
ness and sweetness of Abe Lincoln
are recognized as earnestly by those
who wore the gray as by those who
wore the blue"
In presenting the statue Mr.. Wat
terson delivered as eloquent, fervid,
luminous and splendid tribute to the
martyred president and his illustrious
but scandalized mother, as has fallen
from the lips of any man for GEN.
fury past. 1t is a classic; patriotic
gem, and should be reproduced in our
school books to fire the ardor and in
sipration Of our American youth.

FIELDS WHERE THERE ARE NO
STUMPS

In a recent speaking of he
! Gidden tour-we said if there was
one thing more noticeable than an
other-from New York City to the
Florida line-it was the absence of
fences
We tried TO point. out to the farmer
the value of the doing away with
fences
Where there are no fences the
farmers are universally in better
shape, and there is a vast difference
in the appearance of their stock. They
have fine horses, fine cows, fine sheep,
fine hogs and fine folws. Really,
these farms were a delight to look
upon.
The dwellings are elegant, often
times of brick, with slate or tile roof
ing, and the lawns are as well kept
as any in our cities.
The real beauty spots were the
barn-yards, where, sometimes, we
(O0ANC0 S10 A10AAS cS cSA AoL0A CT Ill
keys, and other fowls in proportion.
While chickens were always in abund-
ance, we noticed that the peafowl,
duck. goose and guinea are still in the
list of farm products, and add pic
turesqueness to the beauty of farm
life.
The man in those states with an
unincumbered farm is indeed a SOW
ereign, and is dependent only upon
the seasons, and oftentimes he has
these under his control by virtue Of
silos and irrigation plants.
After the absence of fences the next
thing more noticeable than another
was the absence of stumps in the
fields.
On some farms. as far as the eye
could reach, not a stump was in evil
dence
What was the result?
Closer and more thorough cultiva-
ton
The absence of stumps enabled the
farmers to use to advantage the most
improved labor-saving machinery,
which adds immensely to his Golfers
at the end of the year.
If we were to pray for a real boon
to the Florida farmers, and through
them to the entire people of Florida,
We would pray not that they should
find the bag of gold at the end of the
rainbow, not that they should be the
recipients of blessings that kow from
the benefactions of our philanthro-
pists, splendid as they are, but that
they should be blessed with fencelesS'
and stumpless fields.
The money saved from the original
cost and the annual repair of fences
would enable them to buy the most
improved labor-saving machinery, and
the absence of stumps would enable
them to use this machinery to the
best advantage, and in a little while
each farmer would have a kingdom
of his own, and would be as independ-
ent and more happy than any of he
potentates of earth.

MOTHERS SPHERE.

There's never a place on the whole wide
earth
There's never an hour or minute,
But something happens --for grief or for
mirth-
There's always a mother in it,
oh, maybe Little Boy Blue has died,
Or maybe fledgling linnet.
Somebody's darling and somebody's
pride,
There's always a mother in it.
There's always crown or coveted seat
Someone stands to lose or win it;
Whater err the issue be, or sour or sweet,
There's always a mother i'll it.
Whether a wedding dress or whether
shroud,
There's always hand to spin it.
Signing and sad or radiant and proud,
There's always a mother in it.
Oh, maybe it's just bonnet or cap
That's needing pin to pin it.
Oh, maybe a cry for cookie or snap,
There's always a mother in it.
Oh, maybe lesson SO hard to learn,
Curlylocks fears to begin it.
Wherever you go, wherever you turn,
There's always mother in it.
For everywhere in the round of this life
And in every day and minute,
Come JOY or pain, or come peace or come
strife,
There's always mother in it.
Oh, maybe little Christ Child is born,
Or maybe nesting linnet-
Someone's happy at night and at morn,
There's always mother it!

IN TROUBLE
Ensign Shelton Saufley, of STAG
ford, to be Court MartiaIed
at Norfolk Navy Yard---
A Big Surprise.

Despite effort made by the
friends of Ensign Shelton Saufiey.
of Stanford, to keep the matter
quiet, it has leaked out that the
young man must face trial for
failing to obey the command of n
superior officer. He will be asked
to explain why he failed to tax e
the Barry when ordered to do SO
by the commandment. So far as
could be ascertained the facts are
these.
There was a collision off Nor
folk several days ago between the
navy boat Sterling and tug called
The Dorothy. The TUG needed
assistance, and Sauiey, who has
command of the Barry, was or
dered to proceed to her relief. He
failed to do so, and Commandant
Doyle promptly filed the charges.
The court martial was ordered
Friday and Sauhey was put under
arrest at Norfolk, the arrest being
chiefly a matter of form, as ii IS
done in all such cases and is no
criterion OF the type of offense.
1t is understood that he will re-
ply that the boat was not sea-
worthy and that he was i'll.
Richard c. Sauhey was appoint
ed to the Navy Academy from
Kentucky in 1904 and graduated
in due course in 1908 we'll forward
in his class. He joined the Kan
sas in July of that year at San
Francisco and made the world
cruise in her. He remained
aboard the Kansas for some time
and was recently put in command
of the Barry, stationed at Norfolk.
On June 6, 1910, in the course Of
naval fortune, he was promoted to.
Ensign and now stands about
thirtieth among the members of
his graduating class.
Sauhey's marriage to Miss
O'Rear was one of the most not
able social events of the past year
in Frankfort. His wife is under
stood to be with him at Norfolk.
The young people have the.
sympathy of many friends in this
the old home of Mrs. Saufey who
sincerely hope that formal re-
primand will be all the punish
ment Civ, n the Young Ensign.
