GATHER AT LlNC0LN'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
il they were in confidential chat with
the figure of bronze. so natural Is its
pose.
Every day the little children play
about the statue. To them 1t Is the
figure Of a companion and friend. 1t
is not unusual to see a child nestled
In the arm Of the statue, or Chamber
ing over 1t. Recently. q rasser-by
saw three children there. One little
girl sat on n 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
" crafty the artist who designed tho
statue, for they show how remark
ably he has brought out the great
love for humanity that was perhaps
the most striking characteristic OF
Abraham Lincoln.-Youth's Compaa
Ton.

would sway him from his purpose. But
now she was waiting for some an.
swer-some word from him, though
the question had never been asked.
And yet he knew what 1t was.
She wanted him to steal away with
her in the evening and ride for the
border-and Phil. That was what she
always wanted. no matter what she
said. and now she was calling him a
coward.
Sure them bronco-riders are brave"
he said in vague defense; but there's
a difference between being brave and
foolish. And a nan might be brave for
himself and yet be afraid for other
people"
How do you mean?" she asked.
WELL" he said. Il might be willing
to go out and fight a thousand of them
insurrectos with M hand, and at the
same time be afraid to take you along.
Or | might"
oh, then you will go, won't your"
she cried, clasping him by the hand.
You will, won't you? I'm not afraid"
No. answered Bud, drawing his
hand away. that's just what / won't
do! And III tell you why. That coun-
try up there Is full Of rebels-the low
est kind there are. 1t just takes n
shot to lay me out or cripple n Of
our horses. Then I'd have to make a
fight for it-but what would happen
to your"
I'D fight. too!" spoke up Gracia
resolutely. I'm not afraid"
NO" grumbled Bud, you don't
know them rebels. You've been shut
up In a house all the time-if you'd
been through what ! have in the last
six months you'd understand what l
mean"
III Phil were here, he'd take mel"
countered Gracia, and then Bud lost
his head.
YES" he burst out, that's jest
what's the matter with the crazy fool!
That's jest why he's up across the line
now a hollering for me to ave his
girl! He's brave. Is he? Well, why
don't he come down, then. and save
you himself? Because he's afraid to!
He's afraid Of getting shot or going up
against Manuel del Rey. BY grab, It
makes me tired the way you people
talk! II he'd done what | told him to
in the first place he wouldn't have got
into this jackpot"
"Oh my" exclaimed Gracia, aghast-
Why, what Is the matter with you?
And what did you tell him to do"
II told him to mind his own bust
ness" answered Hooker bluntly.
And what did he say"
HE said he'd try anything-once!"
Bud spat out the phrase vindictively.
for his blood was up and his heart was
full of bitterness.
"Oh dear!" faltered Gracia. And
SO you do not think that Phil is
brave!"
Hes brave to start things" sneered
Bud, but not to carry EN- through"
For a moment Gracia huddled up
against a pillar. her hand against her
face, as II to ward of a blow. Then
she lowered 1t slowly and moved re-
luctantly away.
Il must go now" she said, and Bud
did not offer to stay her, for he saw
what his unkindness had done.
II am sorry!" she added pitifully,
but he did not answer. There WAS
nothing that he could say now.
In q moment of resentment, driven
to transportation by her taunts. he had
forgotten his pledge to his pardner
and come between him and his girl.
That which he thought wild horses
could not draw from him had flashed
out In a fit Of anger-and the damage
was beyond amendment, for what he
had said was the truth.

NEW YORK, December An Inn
portant and far-reaching decision af-
fecting the marriage relation In this
State was handed down by Supreme
Court Justice blanchard to-day, when
he annulled marriage on the ground
that the husband was n sufferer from
tuberculosis. 1t Is the first decision on
the subject ever made by tho courts OF
law books Of other States fails to re-
veal n similar case.
On June 2. 1912, Sarah Sobel married
Joseph Sobel, formerly business man
Of Freehold, N. j., who Is now trying to
regain his health in Denver, Col. While
counting the young woman, Sobel con-
suited physician and learned he was
afflicted with the white plague. but he
did not inform her OF the fact. When
he coughed and she grew suspicious
that his sickness was graver than he
claimed, he allnyed her fear by telling
her he had bad cold.
Almost Immediately after he learned
the nature Of his illness. Sobel married
In great haste. although the doctor told
him he would be committing n criminal
act IL he did so. 1t was testified.
Finally, his condition became SO grave
he had to go West to prolong his life.

Blanchard says. II do not think 1t

circumstances, and where there can be
