FOR The CHILDREN
LinCoIn'S Aversion to LiCuor.

Mr.. Lincoln's aversion to liquor and
tobacco was well known. writes Gen
eral J. b. Henderson in the Century.
He once told me with relish of a re-
buke for his abstinence given by
friendly stage driver.
stranger" said the driver, won't
you take drinkT
"No, thank you," Lincoln replied; 81
never drink"
A little later the driver drew some
tobacco from his pocket and said:
stranger. won't you have chew"
Lincoln answered:
"No, thank you; l never chew"
After period of reflection the driver
said:
stranger, do you smoker"
Lincoln replied:
"No, never smoke"
Looking at him quizzically, the
driver exclaimed:
$50 you're one of those men I've
heard of who have no small vices"
To which Lincoln answered:
at is true that l don't use liquor
or tobacco"
Then the driver turned on him with
the conclusive remark:
stranger, I'll tell you what l think;
those men who have no small vices
seldom have any large virtues"

OYSTER CRABS.
They Are Distinct Species and Are
Hatched In the Bivalve.

Oyster crabs, those tiny, dainty,
pink titbits, are a delicacy highly
priced and coerespondingly expen-
sive. AS the crabs when taken
from their homes in oyster shells
live but a short time, each days
catch is blanched at the end of the
days work unless there are orders
for live shipments to adjacent
points. The partially boiled crab
is shipped in glass containers, in
which shape it can be had at the
stores. 1t is better so, for small as
they are, like all other shellfsh,
they should never be eaten unless
they are alive when thrown into
boiling water.
A general idea is that the oyster
crab is a baby soft shell, but she
(for the edible oyster crab is always
female) is an entirely different
species from the blue crab, which
is the soft shell of commerce and
after theater suppers. She lives only
in association with the oyster and
carries her eggs into the oyster
shell, her young being Matched
there and evicted by the oyster only
when they become so numerous and
lively as to be a nuisance to the
foster mother.
The males then assume hard
shell and a dirty brown and shift
for themselves as best they can.
The female crabs, of dainty pink
ish white hue, scurry about to es-
cape their enemies until they reach
Broadway restaurant via the oys-
ter dealer.
This protected life makes the
shell of the female oyster crab de-
generate into mere membrane,
and her legs become so weak that
she cannot get about or survive
at all away from the friendly COM
panionship of the oyster.
Whether it is true that she is
scavenger for and caterer to the
oyster is a question the scientists
are divided over. At all events she
becomes a dainty morsel and
shrinks so in the cooking processes
that it doesn't seem as if you were
getting much for your money when
you order an omelet, patty or salad
of oyster crabs.
But what you do get is sub
limated reminder of the daintiest
shrimp you ever ate, with about
the same relationship in flavor that
mushroom has to a brussels
sprout.-Buffalo Express.

Saturday is Cleanup Day

Saturday May 10th, has been
designated as Cleanup day in
the. city of Washburn, a proc
lamation to that effect having
been issued by Mayor Bryan
last week. It is to be hoped
that all good citizens will join In
the movement to make Washburn
brighter and cleaner by cleaning
up all rubbish and by making
improvements where necessary.
Parents of children should get
them interested in the move
ment and older people too,
should interest themselves to
tie extend of cleaning up their
property.
Let the night of May 10Th find
every pile of ashes or other
rubbish cleaned up, fences re-
paired, and other improvements
made. A united effort will
accom- plish much.

Told of Turner.

Turner, the English painter, was
blunt spoken and often gruff, but
on occasion he unbent enough to
ENTHUSIASTICALLY at his own ex-
pense.
His famous picture, '"The Slave
Ship"-that wonderful combina-
ton of flaming and gorgeous colors
was once described by an exas-
perated critic as ga cat having a
fit in a dish of tomato salad" Tur-
ner had never heard the phrase, but
once when a salad was passed to
him at dinner he put on a critical
and considering air as he regarded
it and remarked to his neighbor:
''Nice, cool green, that lettuce,
isn't it? And the beetroot a pretty
red, not quite strong enough, and
the dressing, delicate tint OF yell
low, that! Add some mustard and
then you have one of my picturesP'

Children of Holland.

Dutch children are, oh. SO we'll be-
haved! They never even dream of
talking back to their fathers or moth,
ers or Directing to doing what they are
told to do. Living in land of SO
much water, nearly all Of them learn
to swim, row boats and skate on ice
when they are still very young. They
are also quite fond Of bicycle riding,
and indeed many of the schools there
have sheds built especially to house
the bicycles of the pupils while they
themselves. are In the classroom. OF
course you know that they wear wood
en- shoes.

No Valentines In France.

81 never received a valentine in my
life until came to the United States"
said the wife of one of the attaches
at the French legation in Washington
recently. SIN France it is different,
you know. There our parents are very
strict. and until girl is married
even though she is grownup-she can
do nothing without their consent.
Even if it had been the custom l am
quite sure my father would not have
allowed me to receive valentines"

The Mighty Dead.

The relations between man and
man cease not with life. The dead
leave behind them their memory,
their example and the effects Of
their actions. Their influence still
abides with us; their names and
character dwell in our thoughts and
hearts. We live and commune with
them in their writings; we enjoy the
benefits of their labors. Our institu-
lions have been founded by them.
We are surrounded by the works OF
the dead. Our knowledge and our
arts are the fruits of their toll; our
minds have been formed by their
instructions. We are most intimate
ly connected with them by thou
aand dependencies.-An Nor
ton.

Not Worded the Same.

Just as the family was about to sit
down to the evening meal the minister
unexpectedly dropped in and was ask
ed to join them.
When the maid set the table she had
turned the plates bottom side up.
Written on the bottom was the name
of the manufacturer
The minister was asked to say grace,
and as he did so he reverently bowed
his head above his plate.
When he had finished the little five
year-old daughter of the house picked
up her plate, looked at the manufac-
turer's name closely and said:
"Papa, it doesn't say that on my
plate" Ladies' Home Journal.

Thrashinu Grain In India.

Grain in India is generally trod-
den out by the feet of cattle, as
sisted by the thrashing frame. This
frame consists of hurdle covered
with brushwood and weighted with
bricks or clods of earth. The bull
locks are yoked to the thrashing
frame and fastened to a post in the
center of thrashing floor of beat
en- earth. They are driven round
and round the stake about which
the wheat is heaped, and in short
time the brittle straw is broken up
into short pieces and the grain is
freed from the chat.

Nav Get Into Trouble

There are few hair Drained
individuals and one or two bus
mess men in this city who may
get themselves into peck Of
trouble unless they give up the
notion of trying to carry on a
boycott against one or two of the
business who took an active part
in the license campaign which
was waged in this city this
spring. For some time these
individuals have been endeavOr-
g t. carry on their boycott
i'll 4are lone so far as to try
m INDUCE hers 10 join their
movement by threatening to
take away their business unless
the other par ties joined with
them. Their methods have been
underhanded and at first an
attempt was made to keep in
the dark but as the weeks rolled
by they have become holder and
and the names Of every last one
of them has now been secured.
These pal ties do not know
that there is a law against boy
cotting which may cause them
some inconvenience and perhaps
a heavy penalty and unless their
activities along these lines cease
at once we have been advised
that some of them may be made
to feel tile strong arm OF the
law.

A Fine Meeting

The road conference and
school held at the Court House
in this city on Monday of this
week was quite largely attended
by persons interested in bette +
roads throughout the county.
The meeting was conducted by
Division Engineer F. M. Scar
gent of Ashland and Road Com.
missioner John Sundell.
There were addresses by
Assem- blyman HI. Fl. Peavey and
State Senator A. p, Tomkins.
In his address Mr.. Tomkins
advocated cooperation between
the towns in the county in the
building of roads, and Mr.
Peavey cited the interest al
people should take in good roads
and what they mean 10 all of us.
The discussions were good
and much benefit will result.
The good roads movement is
one that should be pushed for
there is nothing that helps to
develope a country like good
roads. In Bayfield, county we
have the spirit and all should
endeavor to see that we get as
much for the money expended
as possible.

The Birds, Valentines.

The winter day is waning.
The naples all are bare.
I see the snowflakes drifting
Down softly through the air.
The redbird sits there singing
From his bough among the pines:
"These are not snowflakes dreary,
But snowbirds' valentines.
And, lest you cannot read them,"
thought l heard him say,
''These are the words the little birds
Send to their loves today:
My love for thee none knows.
IT'S hid in winter SHOWS.
But when the brooks are flowing
And all the grass is growing
And chilly winter goes.
Upon the warm earth's bosom
My love shall blossom, blossom
In the violet and the rose.

DENNIS SAYS TIMES
 GOOD IN PHOENIX
Returns from Coast Trip and Is
 Glad to Be at Home.

James M. Dennis, proprietor of the Ivon rooming house, Sixth avenue and Mckinley street. has just re- turned from an absence of two months, during which time he visited several of the larger coast cities, travelling as far north as Lake coun- ty, Oregon. His return to Phoenix at time when conditions in the sec ton of the coast states he visited are none too good, impresses him with the belief that there is no better little city, west of the Mississippi river and few east of that stream.
 "Of course there are abundant crops along the coast" said MT. Den his yesterday, but through lack of nearby markets great quantities of the products of the soil are rotting on the trees and upon the ground. Here we not only have abundant crops, but we have a market right at our doors for about everything VIC raise The bug boo of hard times and tight money is not nearly so evi- dent here as l found it in Califor- nia and oregon. l am really glad to be at home once more.''
