Knew Him at Sight

One OF the principle annual events
in Chicago is the great livestock
show, which Ia usually held late In
November or early in December. 1t
is attended by stock-breeders and fan
ciers from all parts of the country,
and even from Europe. Many of the
visitors wear costly fur or skin over
coats, and present an imposing spec
tacle as they stroll along the streets
Of the city.
Among the visitors at a livestock
show a few years ago was a large,
white-bearded man who wore an enor-
nous overcoat, reaching nearly to his
feet, that looked as II it had been
made from the hide of polar bear.
Soon after his arrival, and while he
was walking along near the stock
yards, little girl who had been play
ing in front of tenement house hap
pened to see him. For full minute
she gazed at him in open-eyed won
der. Then she timidly approached.

"A what?"
"A real wax doll,-for Christmas,

Little girl, who do you think l

"Oh. know who you are. You're

The man Strengthened up.
"Why, yes, of course. But don't
you tell anybody. You're the only one
that has found 1t out. I'll see that
you get the doll, and it will be just
the kind you want. haven't my pack
with me, but I'll pick out the doll, all
right. What's your name?"
She told him, and gave him the
number of the tenement in which she
and her mother had the top rooms,
and he made memorandum on a
scrap of paper he found in one of his
pockets. Then, bidding the little girl
a cordial Goodbye" he resumed his
walk. Later in the day he dropped
into one of the largest toy stores in
Chicago, and looked over the stock
| of wax dolls.

having found one that fulfilled all the
requirements.
Five dollars" said the shop-girl
Can l order 1t now and have 1t

~Yes, SIR"
"Sure?"
We'll guarantee 1t, SIR"
-All right" he said, handing her
the scrap of paper. "Send 1t to this
address, and mark it From Santa

A Tender Moment.

OF the many ane cdotes that appear
in Mr.. Anthony Gross collection, the
following account OF Lincoln's inter-
view with the wife of one of Mosby's
guerillas will appeal to the host of
admirers of the great president
One day woman, accompanied by
q Senator. called on the president.
The woman was the wife of one of
Mosby's men. Her husband had been
captured. tried, and condemned to be
shot. She came TO ask for his pardon.
The president heard her story, and
then asked what kind of a man her
husband was. rs he Incorporate?
Does he abuse the children and beat
you?"
"No. no." said the wife; che is a
good man. a good husband; he loves
me. and he loves the children, and we
cannot live without him. The only
trouble is that he is fool about poll
tics. l live in the north, was born
there. and If get him home, he will
do no more fighting for the SOUTH"
'Well." said Mr.. Lincoln, after ex-
amining the papers, II will pardon
your husband and turn him over to
you for safekeeping." The poor WON.
an, overcome with joy, wept as if her
heart would break.
'My dear woman" said Lincoln. Tf
I had known how badly it was going
to make you feel l never would have
pardoned him."
"You do not understand me-" she
cried, sobbing. you do not under
stand mel"
"Yes, yes, do" answered the pres
ident; "and if you do not go away at
once shall be crying with you"

not in taking over foreign terms, but
In applying them without taking them

American and English Girls.
From the Newark News.


Two groups of people sat in chairs on
the liners deck. In the first, composed
OF two American girls and u man, the
girls did all the talking and the man
listened meekly. In the second group,
composed of two English girls and q
man. the man did all the talking and
the girls contributed nothing to the
conversation but respectful attention
and delighted giggles. Herein we may
perceive the difference between Eng
lish girls and American girls.
If the American woman could see
her European sisters in captivity she
would have better appreciation of
the freedom which she enjoys and per-
haps she wouldn't be quite so bossy
with her good-natured, easy going men
folk.
Similarly. If the American man could
see his European brothers in the thrall
of their masters. he would think more
of his rights and privileges as a citi-
zen of this republic. He would thank
his Maker every night on his knees for
his blessings of liberty. which now he
regards as a matter of course-if he
regards them at all.

Land of Sickle and Sheaf.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The people in our country each need
about five and a half bushels of wheat
to tide them over year. Our promised
crop, approaching billion bushels,
means ten bushels for every inhabi-
tant. This surplus is so enormous that,
taken in the aggregate. it is difficult to
comprehend. No other country in the
world ever produced such vast guam
tity of white bread material in a sim
gle year. None ever had such a huge
amount to sell to foreign peoples
During the current crop year the
United States has exported about a
million bushels of wheat every day,
thus setting a record beyond all prece-
dent. Moreover. the price received for
it, due to the war, is far greater than
the average price during the past dec
ade. Viewed. in a purely selfish light
the American farmer is doubly blessed

The Swiss Know.
he Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
No other neutral country. in the world
is so surrounded by warning nations as
Switzerland. No other small neutral
country has less reason to fear any in
fringement of it's rights, for the Swiss
army is large and well trained, and its
position is such that it might count
with decisive effect against whatever
alliance incurred Swiss enmity.
The military Importance which cir
cumstances have given the Swiss re-
public and the heavy burdens the war
has piled upon the Swiss people might
naturally be expected to cause much
opposition to continued and increased
government expenditure for war pur-
poses or preparations for possible emer-
gencies. Its power is great already.
But on the other hand the Swiss know
the value of the security their care
fully organized strength has given
need of being ready for whatever fate
may have in store.
The result is that in national refer
endum upon an act imposing special
war taxes to the amount of 10000, 900
which is as much as s35O,00O, 000
would be in the United States--the
Swiss people voted by 435,000 to $4,000
for that additional investment in the
protection of their country and its
peace. The majority in favor of heavy
new taxes for war purposes was nearly
seventeen to one.
