from the purchaser for at least three
years, and he is a good farmer too.

Washington was a typical American.

Washington was a typical American.
Napoleon was q typical Frenchman.
but Lincoln was a Humanitarian as
broad as h world. He was bigger
than his country-bigger than all the
presidents together. Why? Because
he loved his enemies as himself. and
because he was q universal individual
list who wanted to see himself in the
world-not to world in himself. He was
great through his simplicity and was
through his charity.
Lincoln is a strong type OF those who
make for truth and Justice. for brother
hood and freedom. Love is the foun-
dalton OF his life. That Is what makes
him immortal n that is the quality
OF a giant. I hope that his centenary
birthday will create an impulse toward
righteousness among the nations. Lin
coin lived and died a hero. and as a
great character he will live as long as
the world lives. May his life long bless
humanity.

ToLsToY's TRIBUTE TO
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

OF all the great national heroes and
statesmen Of history. Lincoln is the ONLY
real giant. Alexander. Frederick the
Great. Caesar. Napoleon. Gladstone and
even Washington stand in greatness of
character, in depth of feeling and in a
certain mora power far behind Lin
coin. Lincoln was a man Of whom a
nation has a right to be proud; he was
a Christ in miniature. a saint of hui
manfty, those name will live thous-
ands of years In the legends Of future
generations.
Now, why was Lincoln so great h
he overshadows all other national
heroes? He really was not a great gen
eral. like Napoleon or Washington: he
was not such a skillful statesman as
Gladstone or Frederick the Great: but
his supremacy expresses itself alto
gether in his peculiar moral power and
In the greatness Of his character. 1t is
natural that before he reached his goal
he had to walk the highway Of mis-
takes. But we find him, nevertheless.
in every tendency true to one main
motive. and that was to benefit man
kind. He was one who wanted 70 re
great through his smallness. II he had
failed to become president. he would
be. no doubt. just as great as he is now,
but only God could appreciate It.

NOT ALTOGETHER HIS FAULT
Verdict Brought In by Jury Certainly
Was Not Fiatterino to the
Accused.

A Wheeling wv. Va.) lawyer says
chat he has heard many queer YER
diets in his time, but the quaintest Of
these was that brought in not long
ago by a jury of mountaineers in q
sparsely settled part of that state.
This was the first case for the ma
jority OF the jury, and they sat for
hours arguing and disputing over 1t in
the bare little room at the rear of tho
court room. At last they struggled
back to their places, and the foreman,

lively solemn expression. voiced the
general opinion:

Our First Canal Zone.
From ST Nichnlaa

This canal zone is now as much a
part of the United States as the pa
rade ground at West Point, and though
the two cities of Panama and Colon,
which are scalloped out OF either end
Of the zone. belong to the new repub-
lie Of Panama, our government mas the
authority to keep them clean and or
derby. INC has done the work we'll. 1t
was very important that these muddy
streets be we'll paved and water pipes
laid under them. instead of the unsani-
tary Old cisterns and rain water barrels
for stagnant water breeds mosquitoes,
and mosquitoes carry the germs of ma
laria and yellow fever. Before we
learned this, no one knew how to fight
these terrible diseases. Had it not been
for the self sacrificing heroism, in
Cuba, of DR.. Jesse w. Lazear, of the
United States ar,ny medical corps, who.
in 1900, offered his own body for the
experiment and paid for the discovery
with his life, we might never have

Most people have heard Of the evil
Eye" and now we are informed by

designates 1t the dominant eye," and
