Billy" he said, you and I have been together
Tor more than D years, and in all that time
we've never had a hard word. Will you let my
name stay on the old sign till l get back from
Washington"
The tears came into Herndon's eyes. He took
the bony, prehensile hand of the rail splitter" in
his own.
ABE" he said, I'll never have another partner
while you live" and until the day of Lincoln's as
sassination the dingy "~shingle" before the Office
bore the name Lincoln G Herndon."
On January 9. 1863, with the aftermath of Fred
ericksburg on his hands, and the mooted appoint
ment of Hooker to chief command and a thousand
and one other things obsessing his mind and his
heart, Lincoln telegraphed his wife at Philadel-
phia:
Mrs. Lincoln, Philadelphia, Pa
Think you had better put Tad's pistol away. l
had an ugly dream about him.
"A. LINCOLN"
In August of the same year, the month after the
surrender of Vicksburg. we find Lincoln writing
to his wife:
"Tell dear Tad poor Nanny Goat is lost, and
Mrs. Cuthbert and / are in distress about it. The
day you left Nanny was found resting herself and
chewing her little cud on the middle of Tad's
bed; but now she's gone! The gardener kept COM
planting that she destroyed the flowers, till 1t was
concluded to bring her down to the White House.
This was done, and the second day she had disap-
peared, and has not been heard of since. This is
the last we know of poor Nanny"
The next year there were two goats, and Lin
coin incurred the cordial displeasure of his en-
tourage by his fondness for the society Of these
animals.
1t seemed to be Lincoln's peculiar misfortune
to be surrounded most of the time by people who
knew not the meaning of the expression, 1.-THE saw
ing sense Of humor," The mere hint Of an appro-
pirate parable, or a quotation from Artemus
Ward, was enough to excite Secretary Stanton.
Senator Wade strobe in one day like a rotary
snowplow and wanted Grant dismissed. Grant
had been winning victories, sleeping on the
ground with no overcoat or blanket and with a
toothbrush for his entire baggage. Halleck and
Mcclellan had had him arrested for drunken
ness" Lincoln had often been asked to remove
him, and had replied, 81 can't spare that man; he
fights"
So when Wade came in with the demand that
Grant should be deposed Lincoln caught eagerly
at a chance remark Of the irate and pompous SEN
ator and said, Senator. that reminds me of a
story"
Yes, yes" retorted Wade, "of course; with
you it's always a story! You are the father OF
every military blunder that has been made during
the war. You are on your road to hell, sir. with
this government, by your obstinacy; and you are
not a mile on this minute"
Senator" said Lincoln very mildly, that is
Just about the distance from here to the Capitol,
isn't it7"
Wade, in speechless indignation-to use Lin
coins words--"grabbed up his hat and cane
and went away"

Using Their Old Stamps.

At all seasons of the year, but more
particularly at holiday time, letters
are held up by the postal authorities
because they have been stamped with
foreign postage. Apparently many
newcomers bring a supply of their
own country's stamps to America, and
either through ignorance or careless
ness they stick them on the first let
ters they write.
Naturally these letters travel no
further than the first postal station.
After that they suffer the delay of all
mail held up for insufficient postage.
The addressee is notified that mail
is lying in the New York postofice
and that 1t will be forwarded upon
receipt of the required postage. In
Ease of foreign-bound letters a tedious
and expensive process is necessary to
get them to their destination.

David F. Houston, federal secretary
the need for cooperative action
among farmers. In a recent address
before the national grange he said:
I'm simple justice the producer must
be paid specifically for what he pro.
duces and for nothing else, and the
consumer must receive what he thinks
he purchases and must be willing to
pay a fair price for a good product.
1t is absolutely clear that before the
problems of rural credit and of mar
keting the individual farmer, acting
alone, is helpless. Nothing less than
concerted action will suffice. Co
operation is absolutely essential. The
same business sense and the same or
ganizing genius which have placed
this nation in the front rank in in
dustry must be invoked for agricul-
ture.
Il am not advocating an ~organiza-
ton which will attempt to establish a
closed market and to fix prices. am
advocating simply an economic ar
rangement which will facilitate pro-
duction and enable the producer to
find the readiest and best market for
his product and the consumer to re-
ceive his supplies at the lowest cost
1t goes without saying that the mem.
bers of the cooperative society must
be those who are bona fide producers,
and that every approach of the ex
ploiter must be aggressively repealed.
The object must be specifically econo-
mic and not remotely political"

The proper distance between the
eyes is the width of one eye.

A few days ago at Tuskegee, Ala,
was celebrated the fiftieth anniversary
of Negro farming. The subject of
discussion vas Fifty Years of Negro
Farm Life"
The conference was preceded by a
parade showing the improvements
that have been made in farming dur
ing that period. Among the features
were the Negro farmer of half a cen
fury ago with his cob pipe, OK and
wooden plough. The wooden plough
was followed by another old-time far.
mel with a small mule and a scooter
plough. Then came a more up-to-date
farmer with a good mule, but still a
one-horse plough. Next a ~two-horse
plough, followed by a f%our-horse gang
plough, disc harrow, roller, seed drill,
mower, binder, thrasher, gasoline en-
CINE, corn harvester, cotton stalk
chopper and other farming implements.
At the workers conference "The
Conservation of Negro Health was
discussed. 1t is estimated that every
year sickness and death cost the Ne
groes of the country $50, 1000.
