NATIONAL HOME.
Major Burrage to the Veterans.

After a brief reference to the pleas
ure it gave him to touch elbows once
more with the cid soldiers at the Home,
Maj. Burrage said he had been
asked to speak of THE Life, Char
acter and Services of Abraham Lin
coin" The life of Lincoln was reviewed
under three periods: First, the period of
preparation; second, the period of pro-
fessional life; and third, the period of
the presidency. The period of prepara-
ton included the years from Lincoln's
birth in 1909 to his entrance upon pub
lie life as member of the Legislature
of Illinois in 1884. OF Lincoln's father
not much. is said except that he was
one of those good-natured men who
carry the virtue of contentment to an
extreme. But there must have been
something more than easy-going con-
tentment in Thomas Lincoln, or he
would never have left his old Ken
lucky home; yet before the boy Abra-
ham was in his teens, the father had
turned his face, and the faces of wife
and children, toward the free north;
and later, not satisfied with conditions
in Indiana, he pushed on into Illinois.
To Nancy Hanks, Lincoln's mother,
who taught her husband as well as
her bright boy to read, the speaker
paid high tribute; as also he did to
Lincoln's wise, devoted step-mother
Referring to Lincolns education and
his own statement concerning it, that
'.the aggregate of all his schooling did
not amount to one year. the speaker
said he did not care where man gets
his education provided he gets it; and
Lincoln acquired SO much of an edu-
cation as enabled him in his maturer
years to meet, and to meet successful
lv, on manyrta hard fought field men
whose educational advantages had
been those of the best colleges in the
land His books, in the earlier period,
were for the most part few; but among
them were the Bible, Weem's Life of
Washington, and History of the
United States; the Bible, dealing with
the great problems of duty and des-
tiny: the Life of Washington, present
ing the exalted character and work

Ri0ting at Toxic
Against Taxation.

Toxic, Japan, Feb. 13.-Serious riots
started by citizens of the Japanese
capital as a protest against the levying
of increased taxation led to sharp
fights between the police and the pub
lie and the arrest of 200 people in the
lower section of the city at midnight
The disorders were quickly suppress
ed by body of 500 policemen who by
free use of their sabres dispersed the
mob.
In pursuance of its determination
to stife vigorously any street demon
strations, the government today or
dered the arrest of number of edi-
tors of opposition papers which had
advocated agitation and at the same
time suppressed their newspapers.
Mass meetings have been called for
today and tomorrow to insist on the
resignation of the cabinet and to pro-
test against the hardness used in the
suppression Of popular demonstrations
The recent disorders in the Japan
csc House of Representative in con-
nection with the Japanese naval scan
dals caused the resignation today of
its Speaker, IlSuzo Oaka, who said he
felt himself personally responsible for
the incidents in Parliament.

spinnaker and managed to work the
schooner from the bar, an exploit seldom
accomplished on the Cape Cod shore.
The schooner ran up the beach a mile
and anchored within a couple of cables
of the shore, and there the Pamet river
crew boarded her Wednesday afternoon.
The cold snap struck the cape yesterday
morning and for 10 hours the Cressy
tugged at her two anchors, while
every plunge added to the casing of ice.
The breakers on the outer bar roared
lust off the port quarter. but the wind
held to the westward of north and blew
parallel with the beach. About midnight
the revenue cutter Acushnet, which mad
made a quick run from Woods Hole, came
up alongside.
At daylight light line was run over
to the schooner and then an eight-1nch
hawser was hauled on board by the FROST
bitten crew. The cutter hauled ahead a

crew of eight men, but for the eight men
from the Pamet river life saving sta

The Cressy's misfortunes began
Wednesday when in attempting to peat

Common Sense
About Colds
The Only Time to be Frightened Over
Cold is When You Neglect 1t.

Thousands Of people die every year
from the effects of neglected colds.
A cold, you know, is a germ disease.
We live in over heated homes and
Offices and factories.
We travel in badly ventilated street
cars.
We dress too warmly.
And as a result our skin and the
membranes Of our throat and nose
become over sensitive.
We are not able to resist the attacks
of the deadly little microbes.
The FIRST unusual exposure TO cold
or dampness opens the door and the
invading army comes in.
We begin to sneeze and cough and
shiver.
Then is the time when quick action
is necessary.
Delay means deadly danger.
La Grippe with its long train of
serious after effects, pneumonia, rheu-
matism. all follow in the train of the
neglected cold.

Yale Juniors Would
Smash Traditions.

New Haven, Conn. Feb. 13.-Radical
steps for the elimination of alleged
Objectionable features of the present
method Of announcing elections to the
academic Senior secret societies at
Yale, are proposed by members of the
Junior class, as the result of a dis
cussion last night at meeting at
tended by about 100 Juniors, practical
ly a third of the class.
Too much publicity, it is claimed
has been given to the tap day" ex-
ercises, while the spirited contests
which have taken place in public be-
tween the societies for the desirable
men has given the societies an undue
Importance in under graduate eyes
To curtail the publicity, it is pro-
posed that the place for holding the
annual ceremonies be Berkeley oval,
more restricted spot, instead of the
traditional corner of the college yard
under the spreading maple tree. To
eliminate the contests it is proposed
that the societies previously agree
among themselves as to men and to
aid in their choice. 1t is further pro-
posed that there be submitted to them
list of 20 members of the Junior
class, after it has been approved by
some responsible person, as the choice
of the class of those worthy of Senior
society membership.
The list, it is stated, would be SIM
ply a guide and might be disregarded.
Proposals that the members of the
class decline to offer themselves as
candidates under any conditions or
under certain restricted conditions met
with little favor.

skowhegan, Me-, Feb. t3.-tspecial.)-t
took only about an hour to wipe out the
entire debt of Bethany Baptist church
Thursday evening, under the persuasive
hand of the pastor, Rev. George Merriam,

this big piece of work until the Inner
man" was satisfied. A supper was served
to about 125 members of the parish un-
der the auspices of the Guild, the COM
mittee being made up of Mrs. Jessie
Fletcher, Mrs. Margaret Goodrich and
Mrs. r. F. Homestead. This was the
first social event that had been held in
the new church and at this time the new
tables, given by the men, the silver ware,
dishes and table cloths given by the
Bethany Guild were christened.
Following the supper the pastor re-
viewed the work that had been done on
the church The old church was burned
in July and it has been rebuilt with the
insurance money, but many new things
had been added, including a new heat
ing plant, aqueduct system, dumb
waiter, and new hymn books for both the
church and Sunday school. The insur-
ance has been paid ahead four years and
now the church property is valued at
about s25,000. A new lighting system has
been installed and the lights in the au-
ditorium have been dedicated in memory
of the late Mrs. Olive Goodwin, wife of
