Lincoln and Twain Compared.

At the great memorial meeting in
New York to Mark Twain Colonel
Henry Watterson of the Louisville
Courier-Journal drew the following in
teresting comparison between Abraham
Lincoln and the great American hui
morist. Speaking of Twain, he said:
with the fine, unerring phrasing of
his penetratiye insight Mr. Howells
calls him the Lincoln of our literature
1t is a striking title and is suggestive
and opposite as striking. The genius
of Clemens and the genius of Lincoln
possessed kinship outside the circum-
stances of their early lives-the COM
mon lack of tools to work with, the pri-
vations and hardships to be endured
and to overcome, the way ahead
through an unbazed and trackless for
block and each effort saddled with
handicap. But they got there, both Of
them-they got there, and mayhap
somewhere beyond the stars the light
OF their eyes is shining down upon us
here tonight"
v you heard the wide world calling,
~ lad, a call of tears and laugh
ter
II Fain, fain you were to follow the
lure that babe you come.
All. weary is their part who wait, whose
vain thought follows after
The restless feet that journey on, but
never journey home
All, far and far your feet must fare. in
lands beyond my knowing!
You'll see the glory OF the earth, the
great seas mystery.
You'll lay you down by faroff streams
when tropic stars are glowing.
All, pale beside their glittring fire the
wan white stars / see!
You'll hear no message in their note, no
tender memory waking
When bright hued birds go flashing by.
the painless woods among.
Yet DER the daisied fields you knew, Its
heavenward journey taking.
The skylarks sing the song Of hope l
knew when / was young.
But some day you will hear the call. the
call for your returning.
More dear these low green hills VIII
seem than all the world beside.
All. then you'll journey home. dear LAD.
by ways that need no learning,
And | shall see and hear you come-the
door stands always wide!

WITH MALICE
TOWARD NONE

EONDLY do we hope, fervent-
4 ly do we pray, that this
mighty scourge of war may
speedily pass away. Yet If God
wills that it continue until all the
wealth piled by the bondman's
$50 years of unrequited toll shall
be sunk and until every drop Of
blood drawn by the lash shall be
repaid by another drawn with
the sword, as was said 5000
years ago. so still it must be said.
THE judgments of the Lord are
true and righteous altogether"
With malice toward none. with
charity for all, with firmness in
the right as God gives us to see
the right, let us strive on to fin
ish the work we are in, to bind
up the nations wounds, to care
for him who shall have borne
the battle and for his widow and
his orphan-to do all which may
achieve and cherish a just and
lasting peace among ourselves
and with all nations. Abraham
Lincoln, Second inaugural.

JULIA WARD HOWE'S
TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, who died in
October, 1910. at the age of ninety-one.
wrote this Lincoln poem only about a
year before her death. 1t was almost
the last piece of verse from the author
of the Battle Hymn of the Republic"
Through the dim pageant of the years
wOndrous tracery appears.
A cabin of the western wild
Shelters in sleep a newborn child.
Nor nurse nor parent dear can know
The way those infant feet must go,
And yet nations help and hope
Are sealed within that horoscope.
Beyond is toll for daily bread
And thought. to noble issues led,
And courage, arming for the morn
For whose behest this man was born.
A man of hnmely. rustic ways.
Yet he achieves the forums praise
Ard soon earths highest need has won.
The seat and sway Of Washington.
No throne of honors and delights;
Dstrustful DAVIS and slpeplpss nights,
TO struggle suffer and aspire,
Like Israel led by cloud and fire.
A treachCruus shot a sob of rest,
A martyrs palm upon his breast,
A welcome from the glorious seat
Where blameless souls of heroes meet
And, thrilling through unmeasured days,
A song of gratitude and praise,
A cry that all the earth shall heed
To God who gave him for our need.

Dusty trails by camps deserted where the
tinkling mule trains go,
On the sleepy, sunlit ranges and the plains

Is it only looking backward that the past

Was the sun then somehow brighter; was
there something in the air

When we rode the dusty ranges on the
plains of Mexico?
Then the long, hot, scented evenings and

Girls with names all slow and splendid,

But no more, no more my road is to the
plains of Mexico.
For the sun is on the plateau ana the

BY the same old cactus hedges TO the
sleepy Spanish town,
But I'll never find my comrade that

Govt Hospital
 Closed Saturday

Prof. ". c. Beattie. superin- tendent of Indian schools for Alaska. received instructions from Prof. W. T. Lop, chief of the Alaska division of the department of education, to close the govern ment hospital al Juneau. Arrang- nents were made with the St. Ann hospital to take two cases and all future cases that may be disposed of in the northern section of the district. Arrangements were made with Dr. L. F. Dawes to care for all future cases that may appear In the southern end ot the district. According to a late departmental ruling the government will take only the destitute. The practice heretofore, has been 10 take all patients with special charge to those who could pay and no charge at all for the destitute.
 The closing of the hospital IS due to the fact that no appropria. ton tor medical attendance was made by Congress, The hospital whioh has been in operation for the past three years has been a -ource oi great relief 10 the afiict- ,l natives, The money used SO ;ar in the conduct oi the hospital has been taken from the education, 4l fund.

Residence Gutted
 By Fire

On Sunday evening fire broke out in the residence of Willis Hoagland gaining considerable headway before it was discovered.
 The fire alarm was rung at II p. m. and in little while our To. 'cal fireman arrived at the scene of the burning building. Water was played on the fire from two nozzles and in a short time the flames were under control, but not before the interior was entirely burned leaving nothing but an out side shell.
 The entire furnishings and per. sonal effects of MT. Hoagland were destroyed. From indications it is generally believed that the fire was caused by a defective el, ectric light wire.
 The local Fire Department de, serves great praise for the prompt and efficient service rendered.
