Nc NEWS IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD
NEWS, ACCORDING TO A
STORY TOLD BY ABRA.
HAM LINCOLN.

One Of the stories persistently attrib-
uted to Lincoln was that referring to
the brand Of General Grants whisky.
That was dlsowned by Lincoln, who
referred to its prototype when George
II. remarked, upon being told that
General Wolfe, then In command Of
the English forces in Canada, was
mad, that he wished Wolfe would bite
some of his other generals.
In the fall of 1861 Lincoln entered
the telegraph Office where Mr.. Bates,
who writes these "reminiscences In
Leslie's Weekly. was employed and
asked for news from the front. Mana
ger Wilson replied, Good news, be-
cause nOne," whereupon Lincoln said,
"Ah, my young friend that rule does
not always hold good. for fisherman
does not consider 1t good luck when he
can't get bite" david Homer Bates

Everyday Life Of Abraham
Lincoln" ex-President Van
Buren, was journeying through
Illinois with company Of
friends. When near Springfield
they were delayed by bad roads
and were compelled to spend the
night at Rochester. some miles
out. The accommodations at
this place We're very poor, and
few Of the ex presidents Spring
field friends proposed to go out
to meet him and try to aid in en-
tertaining him. Knowing Lin
coins ability as tallSer and
story teller, they begged him to
go with them and aid In making
their guest ut the country inn
pass the evening as pleasantly
as possible. Lincoln, with his
usual good nature. went with
them and entertained the party
for hours with graphic descrip-
tons of western life, anecdotes
and witty stories. Judge Peck,
who was of the party and a
warm friend Of the ex-president.
says that Lincoln was at his best
and declares. II never passed a
more joyous night" There was
constant succession of brilliant
anecdotes and funny stories. ac-
companied by loud laughter. In
which Van Buren, bore his full
share. HE Also" says the
Judge, gave us incidents and
anecdotes of Elisha Williams
and other leading members Of
the New York bar and going
back to the days Of Hamilton
and Burr. Altogether there was
right merry time, and Mr.. Van
Buren, said the only drawback
upon his enjoyment was that his
sides were sore from laughing ut
Lincoln's stories for a week
thereafter.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.

Alcohol and Muscular Weakness.
Very often man takes alco-

well known disease Of nerve ex-

have been many cases Of this
kind. They usually occur in the

General Grant remarked with some
emphasis and asperity that Stone Riv-

and he knew Of no important results
from it. The president said that per-
haps he should not altogether agree
with him, but whatever might be the
facts his singular dream preceded that
fight.
"Victory did not always follow his
dream, but the event and results We're
important. He had no doubt that a
battle had taken place or was being

 Thing Long Desired.

Every one knows the value of castor oil in breaking up fall and winter colds. but most people have found it too hard to take,

 In making castor oil tasteless, Spencer Kellogg 6 Sons of Buffalo have discov- cred a secret that had evaded chemists for 5000 years.
 Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil works better than the old evil.tasting, evIl smelling kind. It operates pleasantly without gripping, and does not upset the stomach. Children take it easily.
 Do not confuse Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil with prepared. mixed, or fla vored castor oils. It is the only true pure. tasteless kind. Sold in all drug stores. not in bulk. but in 25c and soc sizes. The public is protected by the trade mark--a green castor leaf, bearing the signature-Kellogg's
