The disastrous defeat of Chancel-
louisville was due to Hooker's failure
to use all his men, an error of judg-
ment against which Lincoln had warn
ed him.
When Hooker wanted to attack the
Confederate rear at Fredericksburg,
Lincoln dissuaded him in a graphic
smile: I'm one word, l would not take
any risk of being entangled upon the
river, like an OK jumped half over a
fence and liable to be torn by dogs
front and rear without a fair chance
to gore one way Or kick the other"
And he likewise vetoed the plan OF adj
vancing on Richmond at this juno
ture, reminding Hooker that Lees

objective point. Fight him, too,
when opportunity offers. If he stays
where he is, fret him and fret him."
Lincoln, by a kind Of intuition, d.
vined the right thing to do. He had
no real military experience. When he
was made captain Of the Sangamon
county company in the Black Hawk
war, he did not know how to get his
men (marching 20 abreast) through a
gate, and he shouted: This company
is dismissed for two minutes, when it
will fall in again on the other side or
the gate"
When a. member of the house Of
representatives, Mr.. Lincoln thus de-
scribed his military career in depre-
eating the efforts of General Cass's
friends to make 1t appear that the
latter was a great military hero. "By
the way, Mr.. Speaker, do you know l
am a military hero? Yes, sir, in the
days of the Black Hawk war l fought,
bled and came away. Speaking OF
General Cass's career reminds M Of
my own. 1 was not at Stillman's de-

NEWS ABOUT THE SPRING
 HAT AND ITS RELATION
 TO A wosIAN,s HAIR

Edith NJ. Weidenfeld, writing Of the spring hat in the March Woman's Home Companion, says that the ar rangement of the hair plays a more important part in millinery than the average woman admits The average woman, when selecting a hat, has an idea that she ought to get the newest less of it's relation to the shape Of her head, the contour of her face, or the arrangement of her hair She wonders, then, why she does not like her hat after she has worn it, and it takes several long interviews with her mirror before she realizes that the hat which the saIeswoman assured her was the newest thing. and becom- ing, is entirely inappropriate and un- related to her own particular style
 Miss Weidenfeld goes on to give the news about spring hats. Following are brief extracts=
 Stiff, heavy straws are no longer modish; they have been succeeded by soft straw braidS, and many Of the new models are covered with taffeta either plain or in changeabIe effects.
 Trimmings are slipping around to- ward the front, many being placed a. the direct front, and others at the side very near that point For dress hats, ostrich-plumes are fashions Die against the hat, under or on the brtTa. or they stand up very straight and stiff. A single ostrich-plume, or two or three tips in Prince of Wa'es style are more appropriate for spring wear than a cluster Of four or i've feathers with heavy fues, Wings and orna- ments made of fabrics, lace, and straw bands of Irish, Venise, or macreIne lace's

Priest Would Tax
 The Unmarried
Father McGuirI Believes Bache- lOrs and SD nsterS ShOul1 be PenaliZed Each Year

New York, Feb. 22-The Rev. Will liam T. McGuirl, of St. MichaePs Ro- man Catholic Church, in South B ooh- lyn, and also a chap ain in the Police Department, is in favor of marriage conscription. He urges, with ming Iling of seriousness and humor, the en- actment of law that would overcome the timidity of the hesitating young bachelors to enter the married state by making them pay a fine for every year they remain unmarried after the age of twenty-five years. Even bash full maidenS, who seem to have a gold en opportunity every leap year, come under the restriction.
 If every young man unmarried on his twenty-fffth birthday had to pay a fine of $100," said the priest, "and if this fine were doubled each sue ceeding year fewer baldheaded bach e ors would be seen in the front seats at burlesque shows"
 L&Rp year does not appear to bring consolation to the average young wo- man, according to Father McGuirl, as it would if unmarried women were le- gaIIy bound to propose at least three times each one of those years until accepted. He says that the training, tradition and the natural bashfulness of the American girl keep her from popping the question.
 As for wfdowers, they too, should be compelled to heed a marriage conscrip- tion law. Because they have had one experience, or perhars a second, of married life, Father McGuirl does not accept that as an excuse why they should not get married again. The priest gives wfdowers five years to remain in sorrow
 Father McGuirI is in favor of wo- man suffra ge only for the married wo- men. He says this country would never have to come to the step of of fering bounties as they do in France for large families. If a family of eight, equally divided, had the benefits of a suffrage law which gave the fa- ther the right to vote for himself and his boys and the mother the same privilege for herself and her girls, he believes that large families would be cultivated.
