FACE A SIGHT WITH letter

Moberly, Monty trouble began
with small pimple on the left side Of
my face and it spread all over my
face and to my neck. 1t would be scar
let red when / got warm. My face
was sight. 1t looked very unpleas-
ant, and 1t felt uncomfortable. My
face was something awful; 1t just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
it was letter, and some said 1t was
that awful eczema, but ] rather think
it was letter. / had been troubled
with 1t for about two years and tried
many remedies, but got no relief until

when I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-

ana draw great big drops Of matter

was sweating: It would run down my
face just as though I had washed 1t.

A portrait Of Abraham Lincoln,
which those who are familiar with 1t
believe to be very rare one, hangs
upon the walls of Lewiston law Of
fee. At all events no one has yet
been found who remembers to have
seen one just like It among any OF the
many portraits of the martyred pres
ident which have been published SO
frequently during the last few years
in many of the leading magazines Of
the country
The picture is a Autograph, evil
IDENTIFY taken from crayon drawing,
and shows Mr.. Lincoln as somewhat
younger man than the majority Of his
portraits do.
Under it is facsimile Of his auto
graph, together with the words: Re

$780, showing that 1t was evidently
used as u campaign portrait during
the campaign preceding his first elec-
ton.
The portrait was obtained by the
late John Read, father of the pres
ent owner of it, at Quincy, H., during
that campaign, but who took the orig
inal from which it was made is I'm
known.
Some years ago a book salesman
who saw 1t claimed to know some
thing about 1t, and said that 1t was
taken soon after the convention at
which Mr.. Lincoln was nominated,
and that the original photograph was
taken at the request of MI. Mediil OF
Chicago, for campaign purposes. He
said further that when Mr.. Lincoln

Concerning the Living Lincoln.

'It was my pleasure to have known
President Lincoln personally" said
Alexander Mcdowell, clerk of the
house. Il talked with him or several
occasions, In Washington and at the
front, and while ! knew him well
do not flatter myself that he knew me
well, for there was only one of him
and there were forty millions Of me
What struck me above all else was his
simplicity and everyday common
sense.
HE met all men as equals, not in
a patronizing way, but in way that
said as plain as words, We are all
of one blood, and brothers. He was
a great man and he was the only one
In all the land that did not know It,
"He always remembered his early
struggles and poverty, and with sym
pathy born of them was ever ready to
give helping hand to those compelled
to travel the road that he had been
compelled to travel in his youth and
early manhood.
HE was a Christian, not q church
member-and did by his actions what
80 many do by their professions only.
His life was the golden rule in action.
He loved and had faith in his fellow
man, and stood at all times ready to
hold the ladder firm while they as
cended and no jealous envy ever en-
tered his mind. no matter how high
the ascent.
He was a Republican and parti-
san, but above all patriot and a lover
of his country. We need today par
tisan Republicans and partisan Demo-
Gratis, men who believe In their duty
and the principles of their parties and
not so many guerrillas that feed be-
tween the lines, now on one side and
then on the other.
"In his death the south lost a sim
oere, honest friend and the nation a
patriot."-Joe Mitchell Chapple, In
Affairs at Washington" in National
Magazine.

tower stars and stripes in red and
white stone.
The Lincoln Tower was inaugur-
ated July 4, 1876. The newspapers Of
the time were crowded with accounts
of the great centennial celebration, so
that 1t liz not strange that the cere-
mony of opening the tower was over
looked
The idea of the memorial originated
with the Hon. William E. Dodge Of
New York. who at the time was visit
ing the Rev. Newman Hall, widely
known as "the dissenter's bishop"
one OF the most popular English
preachers of the day. Except for the
first thousand dollars, the whole cost
OF the tower, which. amounted to
thirty-five thousand dollars was con-
tributed half in English sixpences and
half in American dimes, entirely
through the efforts of Mr., Hall, who
counted the work all Joy for the love
that he bore to Lincoln.
Southwark Ia a district of modest
homes,-its inhabitants are people of

Lincoln especially loved and trusted.
1t would please the great president
that his memorial should stand among
such surroundings, rather than in a
more conspicuous situation or a more
fashionable neighborhood. - Youths

CIncoin's RELIGION.

A lot OF loose talk" has always
gone the rounds about Lincoln having
no religion. Recently friend sent me
the following letter, which he had
copied from the original manuscript

cherished 1t. 1T is" he said, 1.-The
most beautifully worded and the most
touchingly eloquent letter OF sympathy
ever read and could serve az model
for all time. No one but Christian
could have written 1t.

BOY OBEYED ORDERS GIVEN
Meant Well, But information Was Not
Welcomed by Hotel Manager
Just at That Time.

A certain New York hotel manager
is one of these nervous men who con
stantly warn their employees against
keeping them in ignorance OF any
happening around the place. He hired
new bell boy recently, and gave
him the usual warning:
Remember" he warned. If any
thing happens around here I'm to be
the first person to know about it.
Soon after that he was showing
three naughty Daughters Of the Cou-
federacy one of the best rooms In the
place. when the new bell boy rushed
in with his hair on end.
Something's happened" he yelled.
The three Daughters Of the Con-
federacy turned cold!y, and the man
ager. anxious to get rid Of the boy
demanded to know the trouble.
THAT old cat down stairs" said
the boy, has just had kittens, What
shall we do?'
The managers suggestion was
rough.

Uncoln's Shrewd Advice.

Abraham Lincoln. when practicing
law, was one day confronted by com
plainant against the trespassing chick
ems of an Indifferent neighbor Be-
cause OF the friendly relations exist
ing between the two families the eli
ent did not favor law suit, killing
the chickens might cause feud, and
a higher fence would be an insult.
"A hopeless case" said Lincoln.

However, come back tomorrow"
The next day Lincoln learned from

ner of Easter eggs After each visit
from your neighbors chickens place
one of the eggs In the yard. Your chill
dren will find them and when they
question you, credit the eggs to the
offending fowls"
when my little ones learned the
source of those colored eggs they were
wild with glee, and with them tanta-
liked their little neighbors. Then the
neighbours children tried to keep the
chickens at home. and my little ones
tempted them away. After each visit
there was a colored egg and some
times two. Those children worried
themselves sick and made their par
ents frantic. This morning load of
palings and barb wire arrived at my
neighbours"
Il thought the plan would work.

Fan his hands through 1t, giving it the
disheveled appearance Of the por-
craft.
He said further that in making the
enlargement for the Autograph the
portrait was somewhat idealized. and
much OF the natural ruggedness Of
Mr.. Lincolns features we're smooth
ed out.
Whether this man was correct in
his belief as to the origin of the por-
trait, it is undoubtedly true that it is
considerably idealized. as WILL be seen
from the copy, the portrait, while re-
tanning the essential features which
are SO wefl known, nevertheless MAX

he is currently reported to have been.

Lincoln did at the time he made his

ORD-HERALD has earned Its pre.emi-
nence by solid all-round excellence.
