FAMOUS
WOMAN
Her
Birthday.
And
Yours
December 12-Mary Todd Lincoln.

II would be hard to find the life of any
American woman In which ambition and
disappointment are so mingled as In the
life Of Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife OF
President Lincoln. She was born 102
years ago today, in Lexington, Ky. Her
parents died when she was young and
she was educated in luxury in the home
Of her aunt AS a girl she had an ambi-
tion to become the wife Of a President Of
the United States, and often expressed
this ambition to her friends, going so
far, even, as to predict that she would
some day fulfIl this ambition. When
she was twenty-one years old she went
to Springfield. and there met young Abb
raham Lincoln, whom she married not
many months afterward.
When Lincoln was running for the
Presidency Mrs Lincoln awaited the re-
turns with feyerish anxiety. She was
much more interested in the results Of
the election than was her husband, and
the story is told OF how Lincoln, as soon
as he learned that he had been success
full. said: There IS little woman who
has some interest in the matter" and
Immediately went to the house where
his wife was to be the first to tell her
the good news.
The happIest day Of Mrs. LincoIn's life
was the day Of Lincoln's Inauguration.
oul ner happiness was soon clouded by
the malice which was directed against
her by her husbands political enemies
Then followed the death OF her second
son. and the dark days Of the civil war
During many months Mrs. Lincoln de-
voted much of her time to nursing the
Union soldiers in Washington. but still
she longed for more of the festivity
which she had always dreamed OF as be-
ing part OF the life in the White House,
and she was severely criticised in Civ
ing receptions or entertainments Of any
Kind. But on April 9, when Gen. Lee sur
rendered, Mrs. Lincoln felt that better
days were sure to follow. II seemed to
her as il at last she was to reap the sat !
isfaction OF being first lady of the land
that she had dreamed about But il
was only five days later that President
Lincoln received the shot from which he |
never recovered. and Mrs. Lincoln never
recovered from the shock

Where Cucumbers Are Appreciated

In Cairo and Alexandria. Egypt, Gu
cumbers are truly appreciated. They are
developed to their utmost. Sometimes
they reach a length of two and a half
ieet and they are much eaten and liked
by the natives
Moreover, the beautiful women of these
cues understand the value of cucumber
juice and it is squeezed out of the huge
green vegetable for them to use as
lotion for the skin

man and child will join in the united
efforts to bring the people and all the
churches into closer relations to each
other just for one day at least. Much
as we may be disposed to criticise the
church and many as may have been
the failure Of its membership, still ev-
cry honest heart knows that it has
strangely kept the heart of man open
to better things.
This is not to be day of dress par.
ade, as we understand it. He who
joins this effort with the right spirit
will not have his mind on clothes, and
he who cares about the spirit which
prompts it will not be looking for de-
signer's creations. but for the designs
of the Creator. Let everybody get
ready to 60 to church Sunday, Feb. Is.

Feb. IS. At this time Katherine Ridge
way will render some of her choice
readings.
DR.. Thomas E. Green will give his

excellent attractions have to come so
close together but this Is the only ar,
rangement that can be made with the
Lyceum Bureaus. Both of these at.

Above Expenses. Fair
Store Also Gives $3.50.
UNDERTAKING SUCCESSFUL
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 6. 1914.


That there will be splendid audi
torium built at the ChautauQua
grounds this season seems to be a
foregone conclusion, the Rex benefit
performance netted the association
$50 after all expenses were deducted.
In addition to this during the week
Carl P. Olson of the Fair Store has
given $3.50 and the wife Of the mana.
aEer, Mrs. Alex Karr has also given
$3.50. The Rex had already given 500
to the Chautauqua fund and Mr.. Olson
was down for $500, so it will be seen
that these men are very liberal do
majors.
Nothing has as yet been done toward
buying or building the Auditorium but
undoubtedly within a few days some
decisive steps will be taken in the
matter and it is almost a certainty that
4 splendid new building will be erect
ed before another Chautauqua session
is held.

Everybody Go
To Church Ddy"

The Go-To-Church Movement which
has met with SO much favor over the
country has struck Valley City. The
various churches of the city are pro-
posing Sunday, Feb. Is, as the day
when everybody in the town will be
asked to go to church. The morning
service will be the one at which every
one WHO possibly can is asked to at
tend some church of his choice. If it
is impossible to reach the morning
service then of course it is hoped that
the evening will not be passed by with
out attending somewhere. This seems
like splendid move. Every denomin-
alton Of the city, Catholics and Protes-
tants are joined in it. 1t will serve as
an incentive for many to renew their
acquaintance with the church, its
spirit and methods in this age. We
have known some who judge the
church Of today by things they saw
and heard twenty-five or forty years
ago, thus failing to realize that the
church is subject to the same laws of
growth as the individuals comprising
its membership. It will serve too as
an occasion for reviving old memories,
and it will be strange II some do not
have forgotten any tender ties revived
and strengthened The good will of the
churches is being rendered to the COM
munity, and certainly every man wo-

SHERIFF THINKS BODY OF MAR.
TiN.HENpRIcksoN WILL be
FOUND ON PRAIRIE.

Moorhead, Mimi, Feb. 5.-Sherifl
Whaley returned from Ulen, where
he was called to investigate the cir.
cumstances surrounding the disap.
pearance of Martin Hendrickson, who
has been missing since week ago.
The sheriff has made a thorough
search of the premises on which the
missing man lived, but no clue has
been found which gives any indication
of his fate.
Owing to the cold stormy weather,
no systematic search was made of the
country surrounding the mans home,
but an organized party Of citizens will
go over the country, starting out from
Hendrickson's home. According to
Sheriff Whaley, there is no ground for
any suspicion of foul play and this
idea is now entertained by the
neighbors.
From his investigation of the home
of the missing man the sheriff says he
Is led to believe that Henderson left
his home clad only in sweater and
a pair of trousers. The morning was
one of the coolest this winter and
blizzard was raging. 1t is believed
that if the man left the house in an
condition and so scantily
clad, he could withstand the cold only
a few hours at the most, and he must
have persisted. It is expected that his
body will be found within a short dis
lance from his home.
Hendrickson is the owner of fine
piece of land in Ulen township, we'll
stocked with machinery and horses.
and had money in the bank, say his
friends. He has farmed in the town
ship for many years. Hans Hogenson,
the man who was staying with him,
is also we'll known and has good
standing in the community. Hand
bills have been printed and are being
throughout the country
asking that search be made for Hen
Erickson.
