And 30 they buried Lincoln? Strange
and vain!
Has any creature thought of Lincoln
In any vault meath any coffin-lid,
In all the years since that wild
spring Of pain?
IT'S false,-he never in the grave
hath lain,
You could not bury him, although
you slid
Upon his clay the Cheops pyramid
Or heaped it with the Rocky Noun
tain chain.
They slew themselves; they but set
Lincoln free.
In all the earth his great heart
beats as strong,
Shall beat while pulses throb to
chivalry !
And burn with hate of tyranny and
wrong.
Whoever will may find him, anywhere
Save in the tomb. Not there,-he
Is not there!-McKay.

CARPENTER.
LINCOLN At A SALOON DOOR

.'NSVIN Al n SALOON DOOR
The following story is told by an
old soldier from Michigan:
I'VE have heard what Lincoln has
done for all Of us; want to tell
what he did for me. was a private
In one Of the Western regiments that
arrived first in Washington after the
call for $4,000. We were marching
through the city amid great crowds
OF cheering people, and then going
into camp were given leave to see
the town.
Like many of our boys, the saloon
or tavern wa: the first thing We ait
With my corrade / was about to 60
into the door of one of these place,
when hand was laid upon my arm,
and looking up l saw President
Lincoln, from his great height above
me, mere lad. regarding me with
those kindly eyes and a pleasant
smile.
Il almost dropped with surprise
and bashfulness, but he held out his
hand, and as I took it he shook hands
In strong Western fashion and said:
1 don't like to see our uniforms going
into these plac That was all he
said. He turned Immediately and
walked away; and we passed on. We
would not have gone into that tavern
for all the wealth Of Washington city.
And this Is what Abraham Lincoln
did then and there for me. He fixed
me 80 that whenever I go near
saloon and in any way think of en-
tering, his words and face come back
to me. That experience has been q
means Of salvation to my life. Today
/ hate the saloon, and have hated it
ever since heard these words from
that great man.

About sixty families. hungry and cold

the Associated Charities. and on the day
before between forty and fifty families
were driven from their scanty homes
from sheer want as a result Of the In
tense cold.
Miss Jontz OF the Charities office says
that the greatest demand at present is
for fuel and warm clothing. though there
are many who are in dire need OF food.
IN instances where fuel could not be
supplied Immediately applicants have
been furnished with money.
Charitie. Secretary In Tesrs
Tears stole down Miss Jontz's cheeks
when a woman in want appeared before

woman was CARRIED in faded finery, indi-
eating that she had not always been In

the visitor admitted that she was the

and coffee are badly needed.
