LINCOLN RELICS.
Bitter Letter" of Mrs. Lincoln to B,
Sold at Auction


What are known as Mrs. Lincoln's
bitter letters" are to be sold at auc-
ton in New York, it is said. The col
lection consists of twelve letters writ
ten by the widow of the martyred
president in the years just following
his assassination.
In some of them Mrs. Lincoln was
almost hysterical in upbraiding con-
gress for not providing for her, and in
her denunciation of General Grant.
One letter, written in August, 1865,
asks a friend to try to sell the black
lace gown which Mrs. Lincoln wore
at the second Inauguration, "for two
hours only" in order to raise money
for the support of herself and her two
boys. The gown was one presented
to her by friend of her husband and
cost $500
In another letter, dated December
30, 1865, Mrs. Lincoln writes bitterly
of the fortunes of the Grant family
as compared with her own, and de-
clares that General Grants services
to his country were certainly not su-
perior to my husbands"

History of the Kew,

The key was one of the first things
invented by man. The primitive key
was probably a thorn or splinter.
Afterward fish bones seem to have
come into use. Wooden pegs fol-
lowed these. In modern times the
process of manufacturing keys is very
highly developed. Fifty years ago
there we're only some hundred varie-
ties of keys, each having its special
name and distinct use. Today they
are legion.-Harper's Weekly.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.--Attired in civil
ian dress despite the fastidious ira
ditions of the German Court, James
W. Gerard, the new American AM
bassador to Berlin, was to-day pre-
sented to Emperor William and pre-
scented his credentials.
The fact that Mr.. Gerard wore the
dress of plain American" gave
rise to the impression that President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan had for
hidden uniforms for Ambassadors as
unsuitable for representatives for the
foremost Republic.
The absence of uniforms upon Mr..
Gerard and his secretaries, who were
also presented to-day, was the more
marked on account of the known love
of the Kaiser for display and the
gorgeous attire of the German off,
Gals with whom the Americans came
in contact. The secretarial staff in
herited handsome gold braid from
the Leishman regime, all of which
are now apparently useless.
