Ice Boating is
Now Quite the Fad
on Nearby Lakes

Ice boating promises to be one Of the
sports at Carter lake this winter and
many enthusiasts have rigged up boats
and commenced the winters fun. The ice
is now in excellent condition and the
speedy sailing boats can jump over a
strip of water ten or twelve feet wide.
-Four Omaha young men, comprising the
Ripple club, all Of them old hands at
ice boating, brought out their cutter
early last week, the first one Of the sea-
son TO make its appearance on the lake
Henry Howes. Ralph Shields Fred John
son and Harry Creedon are the four
pioneer ice skippers. Their ice boat has
been christened the Ripple" and is the
largest and speediest on the lake. 1t
has ample room for ten persons, but so
far this season its crow has been unable
to persuade any outsiders to make the
trip across the lake.
There are many smaller boats on Car
ter lake, some OF them having room for
but one person. The smaller boats are
much harder to control and considerably
more dangerous in skipping over open
places in the ice than with the larger
ones.
On Lake Manawa several ice boat en-
thusiasts have taken up the sport and
have rugged up ice poats and are prac-
ticing the art OF steering them.

Auto is Driven from
Kansas City. Here in
Spite of Weather

How would you like to ride in an open
touring car from Kansas City to Omaha
with the thermometer lowering around
the fifteen below mark? That is just
what two men did Saturday morning in
one of the cars that composed the famous
Maxwell team that won the Glidden tour
last fall. The car is now on exhibition

remain there all week. THE Gldden

Quoted through different parts Of the

said Mr.. Doty, local manager of the
United Motors company. This year the
route covered 1,454 miles through the
south. There were sixty-four cars started
in the contest and the Maxwell was the
only car that covered the entire distance
without a single point scored against it.
There were all sorts of cars entered,
from 5000 down, The car we

The proceedings in court were not

Rech showed the first sign of emotion

(signed) ]. L. DAVENPORT,
Commissioner.
There are several people still living
in Stroudsburg who knew Staples and
remember that to him belonged the
unique distinction Of representing
Lincoln on the field of battle. Among
their number are J. T. Palmer, post
master and principal uf the public
school; G. L. Drake. editor of the
Stroudsburg Times, and Representa-
tive A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t was characteristic of Lin
coin that he kept the matter from the
public press, and like modesty
seems to have imposed silence on the
young soldier who served his country
SO we'll
One does not have to make a very
exhaustive study of Lincoln's charac-
ter in order to understand the motive
which led him to send substitute to
represent him In the scenes of the
bloody drama then being enacted
throughout the land His conscience
was not Of that easily satisfied variety
which contents itself with allowing
things to remain as they are, without
indulRlng in exertion for the common
good. His was the hand which was
steering the Ship of State through
tempest and crash of hostile guns, yet
great as was the task assigned him,
he perceived with the eagle eye that
watched the course Of action, a post
still untitled, an unoccupied niche
strike In behalf of the Union. To that
post he resolved to appoint a repre-
sentative, that he might be practical
ly in personals he was already in
spirit-on the red field of carnage 1t
was done quietly, In that simple, unos-
tentatious manner that distinguished
all of Lincoln's acts, whether in Off
cial or private life. He never played
to the gallery, and the verdict of his
own conscience was all he cared
about.
While this is probably the only case
in history where the leader of a ma
ton sent a substitute to fill his place
in the ranks of fighting men. sort of
