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
a new bell boy recently. and gave
him the usua' 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 coldly, 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.

LINCOLN'S fame
FOREVER FIXED
IN HISTORY

TYaHE food of orations and edito-
rails throughout the land, in
which the loved and honored
name of Abraham Lincoln ap-
pears, has for many years passed be-
fore our eyes, and the reader of them
is able to see what an immense fame
the name of Lincoln has already
achieved, and to what an extent the
popular estimate Of the man verges
upon hero worship. For if we wuold
know popular feeling concerning
great name, these public memorial adj
the most part attuned to the public
pulse, are a better guide than the
more cautious and Unconditional esti-
mates to be found in the works of the
best historians. The mass of the
people do not read the ponderous his
tories; they do read the newspapers
and listen to the glowing periods of
the popular orator on ceremonial or
commemorative occasions.
A prominent western paper has de-
clared that Lincoln is universally re-
garded as "the one indispensable
man" of the Civil war period Rev.
DR.. Edward Everett Hale took occa-
sion to condemn certain phases Of
the Lincoln portrait as presented in
a certain popular novel Of the Civil
war period, on the ground that they
unnecessarily vulgarized Lincoln's
character. Only one newspaper edi-
torial has come to our attention which
in any way tried to exhibit some of
the possible defects of Lincoln as, a
statesman, and that was Enthusiastically
designed to excuse certain faults of
politicians in general by enveloping
them with the halo that surrounds a
great name. The tendency to regard
Lincoln as the one essential man,
whose wisdom was never at fault,
and whose name deservedly gathers
to itself the exclusive generation of
the people, even to the point Of wor-
ship, Is unmistakable and the ques-
ton arises whether a period of reac-
ton can possibly follow this phase in
the development Of what one of our
most iconoclastic historical scholars
has called "the Lincoln legend"
1t seems probable that the reaction
will never be very serious or pro.
nounced. Books on "The True Abra.
ham Lincoln" will undoubtedly begin
to appear a generation or two hence
just as they have appeared In our
own time with Washington, Franklin
and Jefferson as subjects. A certain
nausea finally makes itself felt In
many minds after too long period OF
excessively high colors In the paint
ing of historical portraits, and the re

either comic or sentimental. in which
the foibles of the receiver or the love
of the sender are set forth in prose,
in verse and in emblematic picture.
Now there is no custom without a
reason, but the reason for this can
not be found in the life of the good
saint who is made to indorse this GUS
tom with his name.
He wrote no love songi
mo one rises to accuse him of cast
ing sleeps eyes on any Roman
maiden. He was bishop or pope of
Rome who stood steadfast to the
faith during the Claudian persecu-
tons, and for that faith was cast into
Jail. where he cured his keepers

NAL y pense! 1t is the pleasure of
Cupid, blind himself, to bring upon
his votarles a similar blindness, not to
cure it.
Nor was there anything comic or
sentimental in the fate of st. Valen-
tine when the miracle was made
known to the authorities. They first
beat him with clubs and then be-
headed him. What was left of him is
preserved in the Church of St.
Praxedes at Rome, where a gate, now
known as the Porta del Popolo, was
formerly named in his honor Porta
Valentino, or Saint Valentines gate, "
says William S. Walsh in his "Curiosi-
ties of Popular Customs"
Bailey's English Dictionary (172D,
under the subject of Valentines, says:
About this time of the year-Febru-
ary-the birds choose their mates, and
probably thence came the custom of
the young men and maidens choosing
valentines for special loving friends
on that day"
Francis Douce (1S0O, discussing
the same subject, says: "It was Gus
tomary to put the names of young
women into a box, from which they
were drawn by the men as chance di-
rected and the Christian clergy, find.
ing it difficult or impossible to ex-
tirpate. the pagan practice, gave it at

is not so likely to be sharply defined
for posterity.
Perhaps the reason why Lincoln
will never arouse much controversy
like these other towering historical
figures is that the work he wrought
and the cause he personified are less
open to honest differences of opinion.
For two centuries after Cromwell's
head was hacked from his dead body
and made public show as mock to
his name, good men were sharply di-
vided as to whether the anti-monarch-
ical cause in England had been in any
way grounded in reason or justice.
Over the work of Napoleon men today
violently differ, and centuries may
have to elapse before a final consen.
sus of opinion regarding him will be
possible. In Lincoln's case, the sit
uation is already clear. No one, not
even the southerners, now believes
that the policy of secession was sane;
and very few of them regret that the
attempt at disunion failed. AS for the
negro, whatever controversy may yet
survive as to his status, all agree that
the destruction of slavery was bless
ing. And this consensus of opinion
regarding the cause of which Lincoln
became the leader must ever present
serious attacks upon his position in
history.
But the very fact that Lincoln's
fame is made so secure against dan
gerous assault reveals the probability
that he will be, If anything, over
| praised and overglorified. Whether
anyone will ever think it worth while
| to protest against excessive estimates
of Lincoln's personal service may be
doubted. Americans, at least, are not
likely to take up the work of making
the figure of one Of their two supreme
national heroes shrink in size. For
eigners who may write on American
history will be more likely to measure
him without the bias of national feel
ing. In any event, hostile criticism
canont leave Lincoln's fame In state
of collapse. He must remain one Of
the great men of modern times-one
of the very greatest, ranking in the
10Th century with just two others,
Bismarck and Napoleon, In the i'm
portance Of the issues he embodied.
And still it Is mistake to assume
that Lincoln was indispensable"
Without him the north would surely
have won the fight, because Of its own
superior strength, 1t is no disparage-
ment Of great men to say that their
names come to represent far more
than anything they actually were in
the flesh The labels of these historic
figures assume abstract, impersonal
attributes, they stand for causes and
sum up the energies, the hopes, the
struggles Of whole peoples. 1t is only
fair to common humanity that tolls
and suffers that this be not forgotten

action is seen in "the true" class of
biographical studies. But Lincoln,
however much he may suffer in the
future from overpraise, is still fortu-
nately fixed on the stage of the worlds
past, and whatever reaction there may
be, even in the minds of scholars, is
not likely to assume the dimensions
of real controversy. Historians will
never quarrel over him as they do
over Cromwell and Napoleon, or even
Jefferson. We shall never have a
