Abe" he said, "I'll never have another partner
while you live" and until the day of Lncolns
sassinatlon the dingy "shinge" before the office
bore the name Lincoln & 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 thousand
and one other things obsessng his mind and his
heart, Lincoln telegraphed his wife at Phadel
phia
Mrs. Lincoln Philadelphia Pa.
Think you had better put Tads pistol away l
had an ugly dream about him.
"A LINCOLN"
In August OF the same year the month after the
surrender of Vcksburg, 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 Tads
bed; but now she's gone! The gardener kept com
planting that she destroyed the flowers. till ii 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 know OF poor Nanny"
The next year there 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 Lncolns peculiar misfortune
to be surrounded most OF the time by people who
knew not the meaning OF the expression, The saw
ing sense Of humor" The mere hint of an appro-
pirate parable or n quotation from Artemus
Ward. was enough to excite Secretary stanton.
Senator Wade strode in one day like rotary
snowplow and wanted Grant dismissed. Grant
had been winning victories, sleeping the
ground with no overcoat blanket and with
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 Il 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 OF this minute"
Senator" said Lincoln very mildly. that is
Just about the distance from here to the Capitol,
isn't it?"
Wade in speechless indignation-to use Lin
coins words-"grabbed up his hat and cane
and went away"

Harsh Judoe,

Judge Stephen C. Greene, at a din
ner in Charleston, was defending a
harsh sentence.
81 am a conservative" said Judge
Greene, land ! believe that 1t is bet

should err on the side OF harshness
rather than on the side Of lenity.

severer Judge than nature, who SEN

Lincoln generally got to the
office in the morning at 9 o'clock,
and when it was later, Herndon,
his partner, knew there had
been trouble at home, for Lin
coin then had no cheerful morn
ing greeting, only grunt, as he
fell wolfishly upon the morn
ing's mail. He might have
lunched, easily enough, at home,
but he preferred crackers and
cheese at the office, and often
stayed there until after dark.
Sometimes he would knock
off" In the late afternoon and
clean out. the stable and saw
wood, feed the horse and milk
the COW. He had a passion for
chores" Of his boyhood days
on his fathers pitiful acres. He
was his own hired man until and
even after his election as presi-
dent. At midnight a neighbor
saw him once chopping wood for
his supper when his wife was
away.
In the evening. having DO
club, Lincoln would ordinarily
go to the grocery store and
spellbind the cracker box
habitues with some more of his
everlasting anecdotes-only two
of which, he insisted, were his
own invention. If a minstrel

delay. Mrs. Lincoln never forgave him Tor help-
Ing himself to butter at the uDle "lth MS own
knife.
Lincolns favorite outer garb as he sailed torth
IN winter for his Office was an ancient gray shawl
he took particular pains never to nave MS nat
brushed or his shoes BACKED; his carpet Dag
threatened at the seams to disgorge its burthen or
legal documents; his green cotton umbrella had
no handle to speak Of and inside was the legend
"a Lincoln" the letters cut out Of white muslin
and sewed to the faded cloth Altogether he
looked like the advance agent of Denman
Thompson show. In 1856 pair of spectacles
cost him thirtyseven and onehalf cents
The Office was in character with the notorious
Indifference to appearances of the senior partner
OF the firm Once young law student attempted
to blaze trail through the accumulated rubbish
and found that some seeds given by congress-
man had taken root and sprouted In the dirt
The mailbox was Lincolns old plug hat, as was
formerly the case when he was postmaster at
\ W Salem. He also used the hat as a repository
for legal papers OF importance. Miscellaneous
transactions were conided TO the safekeeping OF
a mammoth envelope on which Lincoln had
scrawled When you can't find 1T anywhere else'
look into this"
When Lincoln went into court there was none
OF the seethe-conquerng-hero swagger about him.
He would say, We'll, here am, amt you glad to
see me?" and IL in the course OF the argument II
was necessary for him to concede a point to the
other SIDE ne Woulu reinaTht TeChoh ~ "ouiu 70
fair to let in that" and when overruled by the
court would laugh and say, We'll, reckon must
be wrong"
When a lawyer asked him II an attachment had
the force OF a summons his confession OF ignor-
ance was cheerfully frank. "Damfno" On long
palavering letter requesting his legal service he
wrote laconically, Count me in. A. Lincoln
The accounts Of the firm never bothered him
ne left all that to Herndon. He never disfgured
the account book himself with a reckoning. When
anybody him money for legal services he
would divide with Herndon II the latter was in
the office, and when Herndon was not there he
would wrap the money up In piece Of paper,
mark It In pencil Case OF Smith VS. Jones
Herndon's half" and leave II in drawer OF his
partners desk
When they made him president and he was just
about to take the train for Washington he went
TO the old Office for the last time and found Hern
don there.

how the Germans suffered in their re-
treat across the Rivers Ourcq and

that region to face the Paris army

important and had been strongly en-.

commander-in-chief, ordered an at

soon thereafter they were annihilated
by the French three-ineh guns.
Then cane the rout, according to
participants. The Germans, pursued
at the poinf of the bayonet, crossed
the Ourcq n disorder, leaving cases
of ammunii on, coats, knapsacks and
cartridges. The losses of the Ger.
mans were terrible. IA

TO DARkfN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A few applications Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur brings back its vigor,
color, gloss and thickness.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and faded
hair beautifully dark and luxuriant,s re-
move every bit of dandruff, stop scalp
itching and falling hair. just a few
applications will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, gray or dry, scrag
gly and thin. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An. easier way is to get the
ready -to-use tonic, costing about SO cents
a large bottle at drug stores, knowngas
'sWyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," thus avoiding a lot of .muss.
While wispy,. gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
full appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it
does it SO naturally, 80 evenly. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q eifhe by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.

EYES TROUBLE YOU
TRY THIS SIMPLE RECEIPT.

We all know some home remedy for our
minor troubles, and by zthe use Of these
remedies many a doctors bill is saved and
doubtless many life.
How few know what to do when their
eyes become tired and ache, or feel dry and
infamed from abuse and overuse? In the
morning your eyes feel rough or sticky, or
they trouble you when you read. What DO
you do? Most of us rush off and get
glasses (perhaps at some cheap store where
no skill is used in fitting our eyes), which
we very often do not need at all. Thousands
are wearing misfit or unnecessary glasses
which they might better discard and other
thousands can, with little care, probably
so strengthen their eyes that glasses might
never be necessary. Here is a free receipt
that may be relied upon to give comfort
and to help the eyes of some people; it is
harmless and has the enthusiastic endorse
ment Of thousands who have used it:
S Grains DIPLOMA Il tableD.
2 Ounces Water.
Use as an eye wash night and morning,
or oftener if possible. It makes most eyes
feel fine, quickly allays irritation, brightens
the eyes and sharpens the vision. Many
who have used it no longer feel the need
of glasses; many others have ceased to fear
that they will soon be obliged to wear
them. Get the DIPLOMA tablets from your
nearest druggist and prepare the solution
at your own home,
