Lincoln'S Heart Was Touched.
Story of Soldier Days of Fifty Years Ago
Comes From Adams County
Wisconsin.

The Neilsville Republican recently
printed an eloquent tribute to Lincoln.
The editor and writer of the article is
George e. Crothers, a former Big
Spring boy. After well written
Renaissance of boys impression Of
the great president Mr.. Crothers con-
cludes with the following incident
associated with s. FL. Morey, who
died at Plainville short time ago:
"In cabin down among the sand
hills of Adams county, in the closing
days of 1912, the life of a little old
soldier of the Republic went out. He
was one of five brothers. The other
boys were strong, bright fellows, but
Harrison was understood and not over
bright. The war spirit soon swept the
vigorous lads into The ranks, but the
aged parents felt that they keep the one
weakly son with them but the iron hand
of the draft laid its hold upon him and
he was taken too. 1t was in the dark
days of the rebellion and the na:ion
needed men and so they took him.
Then the news came slowly back from
the front, back to the poor sandy farm
home that one son and then another
had gone down to death and only Har-
rison was left The old mother was
broken by the news and the father,
feeble at the best, was no support. The

LIVING ON $I.47 A WEEK.

Dr. w. Quinn, the Madison hui
name officer, has discovered that he
can live on cents meal or $1.47 q
week.
"Look at me, / am the living ex-
ample here in Madison that the cost OF
living is high only because people
make it so, I ann well and strong,
weigh over 200 pounds and have all |
want to eat every day." said DR..
Quinn, "and my meals cost me cents
a piece. have been experimenting
with the low cost of living for several
weeks and have come to the con-
clusion that I will be able to reduce
the cost of my meals to 6 cents which
I consider reasonable price to pay.
"Eat? Well, should say do. 1t
takes lot to..keep this in good con-
dition," said DR.. quinn, paItlDS nim-
self. ST eat alllI want, too, for | don't

Z cents piece for Fl meals.
"Of course, I do not have anyone
else to support on that amount and l

sixty THOUSAND VETERANS.


Plans have been approved by the
war department to prepare on the
battlefield at Gettysburg a camp con-
tanning $4,000 tents for the $4,000 or
70, 900 survivors of the Union and Con-
fe 1erate armies on the fiftieth ami
yersary in July next. For this event
congress has appropriated Sl5O,O o,
the state of Pennsylvania $3.50, 900 and
other states will provide for transpor-
tation expenses. The first week OF
July, 1868, was one of great results IN
the civil war. AS the tremendous
struggle at Gettysburg ended, Vicks-
burg was surrendered with garrison
of p. 900 men, a remarkable military
coincidence and climax. On November
10 of the same year President Lincoln
delivered his brief, but immortal speech
at the national dedication OF the helo.
Each army at Gettysburg had over
70 900 seasoned soldiers and in eacn
the killed and wounded alone num-
bered not far from 10000. Ii the
Union army, instead of the Confeder"
ates. had retreated from its positlon
the war would have gone forward In
the spirit shown throughout the TOUR
wears. LincoIn's address Is tne
expression of that resolve and the
purposes back of it. The country mas
been reunited and has reached q
leadership in the world that more
than realizes the future predicted FOL
it fifty years ago. The country Is
glad that so many oldysoldiers survive
to see the famous old field again, now
national military park with the Ole
flag perpetually flying and forty ign'
indestructible states of an lndestruc'l
BILE Union to take part in the celebra-
ton.

neighbors gathered and signed petit
ton to President Lincoln to discharge
the weakling lad and send him home
to help the old folks. There were great
questions on the presidents mind at
that time and great burdens on his
heart. There were jealousies and
rivalries among his generals; there
were towards and t tors a-plenty, who
used every trick to free themselves.
But in the midst of all this the great
Lincoln stopped and took the time TO
search out the little soldier boy, con-
firm the facts and send him home In
later years the old mother was made
poslmistress of the crossroads post
office, and when a young lad, on win
ter evenings as waited at the old
house for the stage to pillow through the
drifts with the mail, recollect the old
mother buttoning the blue soldier
coat with its big brass buttons on the
slender son, and wrapping him up
carefully, she would send him out to
do his night chores, and / wondered
that the great war President, when
the clouds hung heavily upon the
nation, and every gun was needed to
save its life, had taken time to go with
keen sympathy in his heart to search
out and send home little Harrison
Morey."
