Ideal Program
 Memorial Day

The Memorial Day Program last Saturday was an ideal fitting cele- brati9n for that day. The trip to the cemetary in the afternoon was made by large boatload of people who carried flowers to cover the graves of the departed ones there. The school children of the town scattered flowers on the water on the way over in honor of the men who lost there lives that way dur ing the long years of strife. In the evening very appropriate program was carried off at the Rink with MT. Gray, Rev. Corser and MT. Mcleod as special speakers of the day. After the program the meet ing tendered vote of sympathy to MT. Inman, the only veteran of the Civil War, who is now lying sick at the Wrangell Hospital, and also a vote of thanks to Mr. Barlo of the Point Ward Packing Go. for the use of his boat to take the people to and from the graveyard.

 Club Report

year ending May 2o-lo14.
 On the evening of May Io-IoI3 two members of the Monday even ing Reading Club were talking to- gether ot the need of reforms and improvements about the little city of Wrangell and the idea of trying to form Civic Improvement Club suggested itself. The next morning they went out together to present the subject to business people and others; as usual in such cases meet ing with some encouragement and some indifference. Some articles were written and published in the local paper and q meeting of the women of Wrangell to consider or ganization was called for the follow ing Monday. Through the courtesy of the Mayor the meeting was held in the City Hall. Twelve women responded to the call and the Civic Improvement Club Was organized.
 The work for which the organiz- ation was intended, cleaning and sanitation and general improvement of the city was immediately taken up. To obtain funds for this purpose
 it was desided to give an ice cream
 social. Plans were made and two
 days later carried out. On the even-
 ing of May 28 social was given
 in the Red Mems Hall. The receipt
 of which were SII7. 50. Donations
 had been generous so the net proce- eds were s1I2. so.
 The Club proceeded to employ
 men to clean the streets and alleys.
 Although the work was not done to their entire satisfaction much was accomplised and the town Was bene- filed by the removal of great quan- titles of rubbish the accumulation of years. Some things desired were given up because of the ria ability to obtain workmen.
 In conferring with the Council and urging sanitary measures We have been met with the statement that it IS useless tor them to pass such Or dinances since there Is no authority to enforce them. This Spring it seemed best to the Club simply to try to encourage sentiment in fav or of cleanliness and order and urge people to care for their own premises
 Much has been done in the way of through the city in the last few months, much remains to De done.One piece of work done by he Club, with the help of thirty i've dollars kindly don ated from the treasury of the Moter Boat Club was he graveling of the school yard | which certainly should meet the ap- oroval of all.

mented for his honest and just way in settling dis
putes and differences. He was told more times
than once that some day he would turn out to
be a lawyer.
Having read all the literary books and what few
there were of law in and around Rockport, Lin
coin heard of the court at Boonville. He resolved
to go down to that place, 20 miles distant, and
learn what he could in the real court, which was
in session there several times during the year.
The court house in Boonville, then a small hamlet
of less than 300 inhabitants-in strong contrast to
the beautiful new structure that now adorns the
beautiful little town-stood in the very sport
where the new one now stands, in the center or a
large court square. 1t was a frame building; the
architecture was, to say the least, very novel. A
ditch two feet wide and two feet deep, was filled
with smoothly hewn logs, on which was built a
stone wall IS inches high. This furnished the
foundation upon which the building proper rested.
The building itself was never entirely completed
1t was weather boarded, but neither plastered nor
lathed. 1t remained in this condition until 1885,
which was after the Lincoln family had moved to
Illinois. It was capable of holding only 100 peo-
pie and could only be used in the summer. In
the night the cattle which grazed about town
would go there for shelter. Such was the struc-
ture where President Lincoln received his first
impulse to become a lawyer. Here 1t was that
he received his rudimentary practice in pleading
cases that afterward aided in making him the
lawyer Of the reputation he had.
1t was to attend court In this rudely constructed
building that the young man walked 20 miles from
Lincoln City to Boonville, Ind. lie was an ardent
listener and the lessons that he painted upon his
memory at this place are the ones that inspired
the great man to become the lawyer he afterward
became. And from this act the little town Of
Boonville claims the distinction of furnishing to
him the material that aided In his after success.
To claim so great a distinction If 1t could not
be verified would be false and unfair; but from
the history of young Lincoln while he was a visi'
tor here attending court, and from the assurance
that he received the knowledge he did, which in
spired him to become the lawyer he did, 1t is an
other laurel for the little city in SOUTHERN Indiana.
John A. Breckenridge, then the ablest lawyer In
southern Indiana and a practitioner in the court
at Boonyille. noticed the eagerness and the earn

The first night found Lincoln up until after the
midnight hour reading by the glare of the burn
ing logs in the fireplace.
Many days after this found Lincoln attending
court at Boonvllle regularly. More often was he
found reading books In the private library of
Mr.. Breckenridge
The greater part of the Breckenridge library is
still in existence. though some of the books are
torn and time-worn and show that they have been
made brown before the blazes of the open hreside.
They are owned by different lawyers in Boon
vile and are valued highly because they are the
books read by the great war president when he
resolved to study law.
Upon one occasion Lincoln attended a murder
trial at Boonville and heard the case from begin
ming to end. The trial seemed interesting to him,
but the most exciting feature of the whole case
was the argument before the jury. The most elo-
quent plea and argument was made by a Kentucky
lawyer named Breckenridge, a kin to John A.
Breckenridge of Indiana After his argument be-
fore the jury I'll of the prominent men in the court
room rose to congratulate him. Lincoln was in
the court room at the time and he was anxious
to shake hands with the eminent jurist In appre-
citation of his effort in behalf of his client.
Lincoln pushed himself through the crowd up to
the attorney and when he stretched out his hand
to shake, Mr.. Breckenridge pushed him aside and
shook hands with those whom he considered more
prominent. Lincoln was smitten by this act and
always remembered the name OF Breckenridge,
the attorney from Kentucky.
Several years after, at the second Inauguration
of Lincoln, thousands of people greeted the great
war president. Hundreds Of this number came
from Kentucky, and among the number was this
man Breckenridge. Recognizing him at once as
the man who ignored him at Boonyille several
years previous, Lincoln grasped the mans hand
with a hearty shake and said:
81 am more than glad to see you than any man
know of. l have always wanted to congratulate
you upon that speech you made at Boonville sew
eral years ago."
Lincoln did not have to tell Breckenridge upon
that occasion he ignored him, when he was a
poor, struggling man, for Breckenridge followed
with a complete apology.

THIRTEEN AT TABLE
BY FRANK FILsoN.

Although the New Year of his own
people was celebrated more than three
months earlier, Isaac Mandelstamm re-
3oiced in keeping festival upon the
New Year of the nation Of which he
felt himself to be an integral part. II
was more than forty years since he
had arrived from Russia and opened a
little tailor's shop on the lower East
side. His sons and daughters had
~prospered and had moved uptown, but
old Isaac and his wife Rebekah still
lived in tho modest tenement in which
their children had been born and had
grown to manhood and w~omanhood.
Every December 81 there was a re-
union like this one. Abraham and his
wife Yetta had motored down from
their country home near Yonkers. with
their children, Morris and Frank. ISL

had brought his wife and daughter.

No matter what the passing veal

to pay respects to his parents by din

body looked forward to this annua
gathering. They were the happies'
people~in the world as they took theil
