MOST MODEST OF MEN

Abraham Lincoln felt deeply the re
spousibility that rested on him as
president OF the United States, but
he shrank from assuming any OF the
honons, OF even the titles of his 20
sition.

auce a public man testified shortly
after Mr. LincOlu's death that he
could not recall a single instance in

Concerning the Mangrove Tree.

The mangrove tree, which is found
in Trinidad, has many peculiarities-
For one thing, its seeds terminate on
the branches, and when the shoots are
considerably grown they fall off and
take root in the mud.
AS the young tree grows it sends
out fresh roots from its trunk and
lower branches, until at last the tree
seems to be supported by a network
OF roots, IN the midst of which crabs
aquatic birds and insects take up their
abode.

Rumors That Premier Would Re-

reports printed in some of the Union
list morning papers that Premier AS
quith would announce his resignation
In Parliament on Monday The ru-
mors arose from the announcement
by the Premier that he would have a
general statement relative to the
home rule and Ulster exclusion ques-
tions on Monday.
Friends of the Premier declare that
there could be nothing in the report,
because Mr.. Asquith had pledged
himself. to carry out the program of
the Government, which is in Liberal
hands at present Home rule for Ire
land is the chief item in that pro-,
gram.
However the rumors caused much
annoyance in Liberal circles, especial
ly as Chancellor David Lloyd George,
one of the Premier's allies, was re-
ported to be the Coming Premier"
Conferences among the heads of
the various factions went on to-day
with little progress toward final So
luton of the Ulster exclusion ques-
ton. For the time being, however,
both sides will mark time until the
general statement is made in the
House Of Commons on Monday. This.
il is believed, will be an outline of the
program of action in
case the radicals among the Unionists
continue to reject the Governments
proposals.
