FOR THE LEAST OF THESE.

There is a characteristic incident of
President Lincoln told by gentlemen
who attended one of his receptions.
This occurred, think, in 1864; at any
rate. after the issuance of the enamel
patton proclamation.
While the senators, generals and 9th
err white folks of quality passed in
many negroes hung about outside the
White House watching the spectacle.
1t was not until the long line was
nearly at an, end that they timidly be-
gan to edge toward the door. They
were dressed in all sorts Of outlandish
costume. some in rags. others In bright
colors.
Lincoln was tired from the long or
deal of handshaking, but his face i'm
mediately lighted up on seeing these
motley admirers still hanging back as
though uncertain of their reception.
His hearty greetings dispelled all
doubts. and then ensued a scene baf-
ding description. They crowded about
him like children, shouting blessings
on his name in very abandon of re-
liglous fervor. Among the CALCULATIONS
could be distinguished over and over
again the cry Of God bless Massa Lin
KUN" or God bless Abraham Linkum."
AS the gentleman left the White
House he said he heard fast young men
curslng the president for receiving
these people, but in his own heart
echoed and re-echoed their cry of "God
bless Abraham Linkum."
Can you read of this incident with
dry eyes? II not, you are my friend.
1t Is well to take in all the picture,
the shadows along with the high lights
the fast young men, for example.
God save us from snobbery!
The most charitable thing to be said
is that they were young. Possibly they
gained wisdom. insight and heart in
the years that followed.
The parallel comes unbidden to ones
mind of the thoughtless rabble crying
Cruelty him! Cruelty him." about Pr
late's palace In Jerusalem.
"As ye do unto the least of these"
The man who is blessed by the poor,
who is loved by the unfortunate, is
more to be regarded than him who
stands before kings.
For he has rendered service where
he could expect no return.
God bless Abraham Lincolnr'

Heart toHeart
Talks
STOCK SPECULATION AND MORALS.
BY JAMES A. EDcERToN

In the money trust investigation Mr..
f. X. Sturgis, former president of the
New York Stock Exchange, was on
the stand. He was questioned as to
washed sales" and matched ORDERS"
1t may be briefly explained that
these are Wall street terms descrlp-
tive of crooked practices used to create
a fictitious activity in certain stocks.
The object Is to make the dear public
the "lambs"-buy.
When asked as to whether or not he
replied:
! approve of transactions that pay their
proper commissions and are properly
transacted. You are asking me a moral
question, and l am giving you Stock
Exchange answer.
Frank, to say the leastl
Also CYNICAL
By Implication 1t admits that morals
have nothing to do with the Stock Ex-
change.
Some of us suspected as much be-
fore. Now we have it from one ON the
inside.
This should be warning to every
one who harbors even dream of ever
gambling in stocks
Avoid 1t as you would any other
shell game or confidence bunko.
In the expressive language of the
street, 1t is not on the level.
Wall street only thrives on the poor
innocents of whom 1t is said that zone
is born every minute"
The whole play Is to fleece the
lambs"
Don't be one of the fieeced.
The cynical answer of this former
Stock Exchange head reveals much.
It is easy to imagine brokers imbued
by the same spirit taking the money
of poor dupes and then laughing in
their sleeves at the number of suckers
in the world.
There are several ways to stop stock
gambling 1t should be done by law.
But in the absence of law there is an
other way:
q That is for the public to stop patron
izing 1t.
Don't play another mans game, espe-
cially II you have good reason to be-
lieve that he uses crooked methods.
Not only are the chances all against
you, but 1t is a moral certainty that
you will be beaten in the end.
Stock gambling is flame. and the
people, that .futter about 1t are moths
that get their wings singed.
Don't be moth.

ECONOMY OF LIFE.

In every field we are teaching and
practicing economy except one, and
that is the most important of all.
We eliminate waste in manufactur-
ing, but we do not eliminate waste Of
human beings.
We teach conservation of everything
but life. r-.
Recently a Chicago park policeman
saw a ragged, hatless, coatless and al
most shoeless small boy watching a
squirrel burying peanuts.
whats your manner" queried the
policeman.
Bernard Rogers.r sobbed the boy,
land I'm hungry. A squirrel hid a
peanut over by that tree. Can l have
it If l find it?"
Most policemen have hearts, and this
one was no exception. He bought the
boy a bag of peanuts, which were eat
en- ravenously. He then took him
home and afterward reported that
there was not a bite to eat In the
house.
This lad. If he lives, will be future
citizen. Aside from the brutal inhu-
mainly of allowing, him to starve in a
land of abundance think Of the unwis-
dom of it from a public standpoint!
The pity of it is that his is only one
case out of multitude.
OF those who survive many are
stunted in mind and body. Others are
criminals, having learned to steal out

dren?
This wonderful age of progress has
transformed the physical world. Can
it not do something for the human
world?
Here is another case IN point:
Recently the factory commission Of
the state of New York examined child
labor conditions. 1t found tots OF ten
years working from twelve to sixteen
hours a day in cannery sheds and 9th
ers even younger wearing out their
baby lives in tenement work.
From the mere cold, economic stand
point can we not eliminate this waste
of our future men and women?
Fathers and mothers, these little
ones are like your own, with the same
tender bodies, the same baby faces
the same innocent ways.
How dare we look our own children
IN the eyes so long as we participate
in the sins of society against these
other children?
How dare we call ourselves civilized
In the midst of such conditions?
How dare we?

children. He goes straight to the point.
He judges men more by character than
by intellectual endowments.
Perhaps Mr.. Hills best charactert-
cation of the average American occur
red In these words:
"He has a large fund Of self re-
lance, and if defeated in his efforts or
disappointed in his hopes today, he
expects to succeed tomorrow"
There are several volumes of history
in that one sentence-the history OF
democracy.
The school of equal opportunity has
turned out a race of optimists who be-
lieve in each other and In themselves.
The average American thinks he Is
as good as any other man; and he Is.
The very thought has been a. pow
erful stimulus. 1t has changed his out
look and has put spirit into him.
"As a man thinketh in his heart, SO
is he"
The average American has learned
that he is 1.-The master of his fate"
1.-THE captain of his SOUL"
II he fails In some particular un-
dertaking it is but slip in the path.
He gets up and goes on.
He is not afraid.
In the past men have been In terror
of what they called fate or destiny,
as though it were something outside
of themselves.
The average American has learned,
or is learning, that these big sounding
words stand for little but the ignor-
ance and fear bred of the past that
we are the builders Of our own desd-
MES.
Children are afraid of the dark. Ig-
norance is darkness and ignorant men
are children in mind.
AS the light of intelligence spreads
fear vanishes.
The average American believes that
kingship and divinity are not alien but
In himself. He therefore has faith In
these attributes in him and in all men.
He has the sanity of laughter, the
genius of common sense, the tonic of
hope.

The AVERAGE AMERICAN.

David Jayne Hill, former American
ambassador to Germany. recently
spoke to the Franco-American COM
mittee in Paris. In the address he de-
scribed the average American.
The description was so pat that II
was cabled to the American papers.
Some of the qualities ascribed to this
average American by Mr.. Hill were
practical religion, generosity. love of
home and industry. He is neither rich
nor poor. has opinions of his own and
means what he says when he talks
business. He believes in the substan-

verse. He gives to the unfortunate
both good advice and bread. He hon

MOney Buys Prominent Corner

Charles Monery, the contractor, it
was given out yesterday, has bought
the corner, 55x60, on the corner Of
Commercial and Eighth streets. AS
he is not in town it was impossible to
learn whether he intends to build in
the near future or whether he bought
for speculation. The corner is one OF
the best in the town and it is more
than likely that he will put up a bull
ding in the near future for the reason
that building in this location will rent
for a good round sum.

INDIANS SIGN EVERLAST-
ING TREATY WITH A KISS

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 15.-Twen-
ty thousand Indians kissed the seams
Of the white mans banner, the stars
and stripes, at the Standing Rock In
dian reservation, in southwestern
North Dakota.
It was their manner of swearing al
|legiance to the flag and their way OF
promising never again to take up
arms against their pale faced neigh
bors.
The oath of allegiance was admins
tered by DR.. Joseph Kessuth Dixon,
writer and explorer, who has travelled
among all Indian tribes of North Am
erica, telling them of the colossal
Rodman Wanamaker memorial that
| the white men are erecting in honor
| of the Indians, towering far above
their own Goddess of Liberty in New
York Harbor.
Several thousand Indians and large
numbers of white people attended the
ceremonies. Mr.. Dixon was met by
| the Indians in costume and escorted
by them to the grounds arranged for
the event.
At the grounds speeches were made
by DR.. Dixon, Major James McLough-
lin, formerly commander of the reser-
walton and now official Of the depart
ment Of the Interior; H. M. Robinson,
who was chief clerk Of the reserva-
ton twenty five years ago and who IS
now President of the Tennessee rail-
road; and by John Grass, chief OF the
Sioux.
In the afternoon the ceremonies
were resumed. Several prominent In
dams made short speeches after
which the flag was raised.
After DIR. Dixon had presented the
flag to the Indians in a speech telling
them what it's colors signified to them
and the banner had been raised the
Indians began their part of the pro-
i gram. ..
Racing, riding, broncho busting and
Indian games were INDUCED in for the
white visitors benefit.
Near the close of the day the war
|riors danced their last war dance. Cir
Icing for over mile the braves whirl-
ed and whooped in the CHASTITY light OF
the camp fire and danced to the wierd
music Of the tom tom. W.

j ever, there was no dash of pillage and
! slaughter against the whites. Instead

I shaking hands with the representa-
|tives Of the race they have fought for
centuries, and then saluted the stars
