GATHER AT LiNCoLN'S STATUE
Children Seem to Recognize compan-
lon and Friend In Bronze Repre-
sentation Of President

In the city OF Newark. N. J.. there
stands on the plaza In front OF the
courthouse a bronze statue OF Abra-
ham Lincoln. The figure Of Lincoln
Is seated on a bench on which rests
the tall hat that the president was &C
customed to wear Frequently you see
men standing there, looking at this
remarkable statue. and 1t seems as
II they were In confidential chat with
the figure of bronze. SO natural Is its
pose. s-
Every day the little children play
about the statue. To them 1t Is the
figure OF q companion and friend. 1t

in the arm of the statue. or chamber
ing over It Recently. a passer-by
saw three children there. One little
girl sat on one OF Lincoln's knees;
another little girl leaned with crossed
arms on the other knee and looked
up into the great benevolent face; and
the third child, a little colored boy,
stood on the same knee. wound his
arm lovingly about the neck OF the
statue. and laid his cheek against the
great bronze nose.
These spontaneous tributes OF AT
lection from the children must sure
ly crafty the artist who designed the
statue. for they show how remark
ably he has brought out the great
love for humanity that was perhaps
the most striking characteristic o.

We are informed that the county

have the advertising matter, with

The suggestion that the fire de-

which it has in the treasury for
buying a large fire whistle to be
placed at the electric light plant to
be used only in case of fire, is a
good idea. The department has a
hundred dollars or such a matter
which could not be used for a better
purpose.
