FREDERICK RUPERT
SAT ON "ABE'S" KNEE.
Rare Distinction of Which One
Wayne County Man Can Boast.

In due consideration of Mrs. Julia
Woodhouse Andrews, of New York
city, from whom we received a COM
munication last week and which was
reproduced in The Citizen of March
z last, we print the following story.
Quoting from her letter she saws: 81
can still see those kindly eyes and
benevolent face which seemed to
strike cord of sympathy in every
heart and made Abraham Lincoln
beloved by all who ever met him. |
wonder If any of my old friends in
Honesdale can boast of a similar ex-
perience."
Frederick Rupert, the wholesale
confectioner, was once honored as
Few have been honored and as a re-
suit has more than the usual amount
OF love for the big-hearted Abe Lin
coin than most men of his time. Fred
has right to feel proud for when he
was about two and a half years old
he, like Tad, sat upon Lincoln S
knee. This alone Is an honor which
many of his friends envy, even the
veterans who saw Lincoln daily in
war times. There are some living in
Honesdale to-day who verify Mr..
Ruppert's statement and as a matter
of fact it was through them that
Fred was notified by Lincoln and
taken into his turnout and given a
ride.
1t is told by Mr.. Rupert, who was
born in Honesdale, that at the out
break of the Civil war his father,
John Rupert, enlisted and was soon
located at Fort Thayer, opposite
Washington, being promoted to lieu
tenant of Company c, Second Penn
sylvania Heavy Artillery. As he was
stationed at this point he sent for his
wife and son, Fred, the subject of
this sketch. The family stayed at
this point for some time. Lincoln
and his driver passed their home
every day to give his orders to the
Army of the Potomac.
One day the soldiers around the
fort took Fred to Washington and
had regular officers uniform made
for him. 1t was when the party was
returning to Fort Thayer that Lin
coin saw Fred in his uniform. When
the young soldier reached him he
had his driver stop and Fred was
taken into the presidents high
"carryall." Lincoln placed Fred on
his knee where he sat while the pres
ident was driven to the Army of the
Potomac to give his orders On the
return trip Fred was turned over to
his parents by the great emanci-

BIG BLIZZARD STARTED
~ YEARS AGO MONDAY.

Monday, "a years ago, this Sec
ton of the country was in the grip of
one of the greatest billiards that ever
visited the state.
Snow began falling on Saturday,
March 10, 1888, and by Sunday
morning the earth was covered to a
depth of about IL inches.
On Sunday evening, March II, the
wind shifted suddenly to the north
west and blew a gale, hurting the
snow in all directions.
With the shifting of the wind the
temperature dropped to near the
zero mark. 1t was so cold that few
people ventured out on the streets.
Telegraph and telephone wires
were prostrated in all directions and
traffic on the railroads came to a
standstill, and it was impossible to
realease those stalled by drifts until
the storm subsided.
The schools were dismissed The
stages were unable to get through
and business generally was interrupt
ed. Many of the workmen were un-
able to reach their places of employ
ment.
On Tuesday March 13, all railroad
lines were tied up completely.
1t required nearly the entire week
to get the traffic Strengthened uot and
the damage done to the wires repair
ed.
Conductor Charles Lord of the
Erie says he remembers the week dis
tinctively, claiming that it was the
hardest winter he experienced on the
road.

BASKET BALL.

In the first game of the series be-

the Beef Trust would bring home
the bacon as the score stood 10 to
