which preceded 1t, and is the perfected
literary mastery"
Report OF Gen. Aleshire.
When outside evidence had been COL
lected Quartermaster General AIeshire
of the army. was asked to make a report.
and he summarized the three versions.
as follows:
a. The final revision published in eau
tograph Leaves of Our Country's. Au-
thors.'' prepared by President Lincoln
five months after the address for the
soldiers and sailors' fair at Baltimore
This is the version desired by both Col.
Nicholson and Robert T. Lincoln The
latter regarded 1t as representing his
fathers last and best thought as to the
address.
a. The version stipulated to be used
by the act OF February II. 1885, appro-
priating 5000 for the bronze tablet con-
tanning the address 10 be erected In the
Gettysburg National Park. This differs
slightly from the Baltimore version.
t3.) The John Hay version, from a pho,
tographic facsimile of the original manu-
script. as written and corrected by Pres
ident Lincoln four days after he had
delivered the address and presented it to
John Hay. This differs in several par
ticulars from either of the above ver-
sions.
In letter to Gen. Aleshire, Robert T.
Lincoln thus stated his views as to the
version which ought to be offieially
adopted by the War Department:
LAS / wrote to you before, the Balti-
more fair version represented my father 5
last and best thought as to the address.
and the corrections In IT were legitimate
for an author and I think there Is no
doubt they improve the version as writ
ten out for Col. Hay. And. as I said to
you before. 1 earnestly hope that the
Baltimore fair version will be used
1T differs. as YOU indicate. very slight
ly from your Exhibit A. which. as you
say. is given in the statutes -at-large
making an appropriation for the tablet
at Gettysburg National Cemetery. But
the statute version was not made. OF
course. by any responsible person. and I
think its incorrections should not be pes
petusted when we have. as I have indi-
Gated. an exact thing to go by.
Il am quite sure as a lawyer that there
is no obligation upon you. In the new
tablets you are making. TO follow the er-
rors in the text in his old statue. and
trust that you will not do so. Z have
before me. as write, the book pub
lished by the Baltimore sanitary fair,
which contains a full-sized photographic
reproduction of the address as my father
sent 1t to the fair to be sold for It's
benefit"
AS result OF its fnvestigat ton, the War
Department accepted the judgment of
Robert T. Lincoln. and chose the Balti-
more version of the Gettysburg address.
This version is likely to be adopted by
the Senate Committee on Library.

Your Bird Neighbors.

To begin with. give them food Many
birds we are not in the habit Of con-
sidering hardy Will remain with US
through the winter if they get enough
to eat. They go to warmer climates
chiefly because their food supply is scarce
in their summer home.
Suet is good winter food for almost
all birds. Get a solid piece, weighing
about a pound, and tie two strings about
it, knotting them firmly, one in one d.
rection, the other in the other direction.
so that the suet can slip. Then hang
the suet from crotch in a tree. The
birds will flock to it and pick it TO shreds
and then chirp to you TO beg a new
supply.
Bread and cracker crumbs are also
acceptable food to the birds. and food
that IL is not difficult to give sthem All
bits OF bread from the table and stale
bread from the breadbox can be saved
for the birds and crumbed and thrown
to them.
If the bread is very hard and stale
1t is kinder to the birds 10 moisten il
and break it before giving II to them.
A brush heap of some sort is wei
come protection to the birds in cold
weather. In sheltered corner of the
garden pile some brush closely and watch
the birds collect there stormy, bitter
winter days. The brush that is piled
on the perenniais in the flower garden
can serve for the birds winter shelter.

Spindled Oysters.
For two dozen large oysters allow two

eye of the oyster and threading the bacon
by one corner SO that each slice blankets
skewers across baking pan and cook
five minutes in quick oven or under the
gas. Lay each spindle with its contents
undisturbed on slice of toast, pour the
drip from the pan over them and servo at

This is a delectable way to use up
Thanksgiving remnants. Melt little
butter in a deep baking dish and scatter
over it a layer of cracker or bread
crumbs. Add next a layer of chicken

then a layer of oysters well seasoned
with salt, pepper and butter Proceed

well beaten egg and a cupful of milk.
Put bits of butter on top and bake three
quarters of an hour in a moderate oven.
If desired this mixture may be baked in
individual ramekins instead of q large
dish.

the rest OF the coat was In very good
order
SO this clever woman had a waist
coat made of velvet of becoming

coat made into a cutaway. which did
away with the tight lower edge and the
excess length. and with the frayed
front edges as well. The revers were
taken of and the coat was fastened
fatty to the vest or waistcoat from
the neck to the waist, where it ended
in front.
The good pieces of fur from the part

used for new wide cuffs and a rolling
