Lincoln Tries Case Against Liquorites

ton for the wanton and reckless acts of these
Who in defiance of the statutes, had taken the law
into their own hands, While he was declaming,
Lincoln looked at him with kindly smile
"Lincoln told the jury that under the law and the
evidence he supposed fine would have to be assessed
against the women though what they had done
was strictly in defense of their boys and their homes
With strong feeling he referred to the action Of the
drug store selling liquor despite repeated fines
and Warnings and said these women saw way to
make him stop by the destruction Of his liquor.
They were poor women and could not pay large
fine; he begged the jury to deal with them as len
iently as they could having in mind their sworn duty
to administer justice they it.
THE jury much impressed, but under the in
structons they compelled to find the defendants
guilty They assessed the punishment at ST EACH the
lowest provided by law but that carried with it the
costs, which were considerable.
THE moment the verdict announced Lin
coin arose, picked dollar of his pocket and
dropped it in his hat
People,, he said you understand all about this
case. Now all of you who feel for these women can
contribute while pass around the hat.
with that the crowd set up cheer and the men
began reaching for their money. The Judge and the
jury Clipped in with the rest and when Lincoln emp
tied his hat in the laps of the women, they had SOS
with which to discharge their indebtedness to the
court All this time the crowd was cheering.

F W. Wilson, in the St Louis Gobe-Democrat
recently told this story of Lincolns part in
against liquorte:
Lincoln was engaged to defend some women in
court at Clinton" said Mr.. Wilson. They
charged with going into drug store at Dewitt and
destroying barrel of the propretors liquor. There
was no dispute about the facts in the The
druggist had been arrested and fined three times for
violating the liquor laws. So the women went into
his store empted his barrel and he had them arrested
q told Mr.. Lincoln 7 had never seen trial, and
begged him to get my fathers permission to attend
At his personal request father let go to court the
day of the big trial I just managed to squeeze in
through the crowd. The people were tremendously
interested in the because they anxious to
see how Lincoln would meet such formidable sit

clients Judge David Davis afterward Senator,

Lincoln had on old suit of jeans and coat
with long tails and brass buttons. He would move
those great long arms of his about in a wonderful
manner Sometimes they would get under the long
tails of his coat and swing them his head 1t

never grotesque-not when he trying
"The state put the druggist who described the
destruction of his property. Then some witnesses
identified the women defendants.
Lincoln introduced the record of convictions
against the druggist for selling liquor He also
proved the reputation OF his clients be that of good
women. Lincoln understood that under the law and
the evidence there no hope for acquittal and
he just put certain testimony he wished to discuss

NOTICE

Scavenger and garbage fees for January,
February and March, must be paid on or be-
fore the last day Of this month, (January)
in order to get the regular discount of half
dollar. Some owe for the, back quarter:
those should be paid first. The contents of
sanitary buckets cannot be buried on the lots
nor in the manure pile; this practice is strict
ly forbidden by the Board of Health. Do not
wait a week after the time is up, then send
in your fee and expect to get the discount off,
it will not be granted. There must be
some system about this business the same as
other kinds of business.
People who have wooden, or small tin pals
in their toilets, must remove them and get
the regular galvanized sanitary buckets, or
no service will be given.
The Scavenger and garbage wagon makes
regular runs through the City and gives SER
vice to everybody, unless otherwise directed
But the City is under no obligations, what
ever, to give service to those who do not pay
their accounts, and this service will soon be
withdrawn from those who are not paying.
The garbage can is a source of trouble dur
ing zero weather, for the contents are then
frozen and cannot be emptied.

bors? Not many.
See the dark picture! China has no
peace. Japan is sick from the recent war
with Russia. The southern Asiatic
countries apart from India which is under
English rule, exert no influence in the
scales of civilization; hence that continent
is in the throes Of dissolution so far as it's
nations are concerned All Europe is
braced, either directly or by alliances,
against next door neighbors, and their
armies are either in the field OF battle or
under heavy marching orders prepared
for immediate action against one another
Where is the peace? A few weeks ago,
to outward appearances, these peoples
were friends. What has caused the
change? Jealousy, inbred national hatred,
desire for business and commercial
supremacy, and boundary lines traced by
the flowing blood of thousands shed on
the altar erected by selfshness, have come
forth as phantoms to haunt the memories
and to torment the peoples to hostile acts.
EtBut of the times and the seasons,
brethren, we have no need that I write
unto you For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh as
thief in the night. For when they shall
say, Peace and safety, then sudden de-

The Nations are Mad
By Deacon Theodore Forby

History is silent in it's record of any
greater unrest than is now agitating the
nations Of the earth. The great powers
that have for ages protested to be the
leaders in civilization are today rushing
at each others threats with the avowed
purpose Of destroying one another Who
has read history and studied the move
ments Of people that does not see that the
nations Of the earth are great Babylon
confusion whirling and surging against
one another and each fearing that
the other will secure some advantage that
may reduce the power Of his neighbor?
Why this divergence Of view? Why the
constant anxiety and unrest? The Chris
tian man, the Bible student, can make no
other answer than to say: God has been
left out Of the individual and the nation
al calculation, and selfish purposes have
life.
Few realize that God operates through
human beings, and that the result of
their actions is either veal or woe not
only for the individual actor but for the
aggregation Of human effort. That in
dividual or that nation which will not
serve God shall perish, and that service
must be pure and wholehearted. Why is
history full Of the stories Of wrecked ma
tions? Why, today, is continental Europe
in the throes Of war? Fear and mistrust
are upon every hand Because the love
of God which makes all men brothers is
not in their hearts Because Gods plan
for men has not been followed. eek
cept God build the house they labor in
vain who build it. Hence today nations
are tottering to their fall in the light Of
flashing guns midst the din Of the
thunders Of war. To some of them, at
least, the judgment has set, and upon the
scroll of Heavens records will soon be
written, 'SThou art weighed and found
wanting"
But do people today see Gods hand
writing, in unmistakable language, the

platform should be kept clean at all times.
The building should be whitewashed and
lime be kept on the inside,s so as to pre-
vent mites and lice, which are great pests
to the chickens and can easily destroy
their usefulness. These pests flourish with
dirt and filth. Cleanliness is most essen
tial in the chicken business. The house
must be kept clean; also the drinking
vessels, feed troughs, and all other vessels.
No dampness must be allowed. The
building should be located, if possible, on
high and dry piece of ground. If it is
low it should be filled up with dirt and
sand and gravel.
These are some of the most important
points concerning the buildings for the
LAYERS and breeders
Of course, the young chicks, as they
come on, must have quarters Of their own.
These are called 'brooding houses,' and
must be adapted to the age and size Of the
chicks. 1t is not good to brood too many
Of them in one house. Fifty to sixty is
considered enough for one flock.
More could be said in regard to the in
side arrangements
The nests should be placed so as to be
convenient for the keeper, and attractive
to the hen. By a little observation we
see that she prefers to be somewhat con-
cealed when she goes to her nest. Hens
hide their nests when they have a chance.
If you observe you will notice they choose
nest as much out of sight as possible;
hence arrange the nests accordingly
Whenever the weather is dry and con-
ditions are fit, let the hens out into the
yard; but never let them out when there
is snow on the ground. The cold, dry
ground is very injurious.
In our later articles we will take up the
subjects of Matching, feeding, etc.

''And at midnight Paul and Silas
prayed, and sang praises unto God and
the prisoners heard them
''And suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so that the foundations of
the prison were shaken: and Immediately
all the doors were opened, and every one s
bands were loosed. "-(Acts 16 :25-26.)
When you study the last prophecies Of
the Christ regarding the signs Of His COM
ing back to this earth, it is distinctly
stated that there shall be famines, pesti-
lences, and EARTHQUAKES in divers
places. (Matthew PAID
These things are to occur distinctly as
the BEGINNING of sorrows, some Of
which are mentioned in Revelation, the
sixth chapter, where the seven seals are
mentioned; the sixth seal stating definite
ly that "there was a great earthquake,
and the sun became black as sackcloth Of
hair, and the moon became as blood ,"
Revelation 6:12.)
That we are living in the closing days
Of the Gospel era must be acceded by all
diligent students Of the Word. Never
has mankind been so defiant Of Divine en-
treaties as today. Never has crime as
sumed such terrible magnitude as today
Never has there been more deliberate
breaking away from all restraint from
morality and religion than there is today
Never has it been so hard to reach the
masses with the Gospel Of the Kingdom as
today. Never has it been so difficult to
make true converts to the religion Of the
Lord Jesus the Christ as today
These are the days like unto those in
which Noah lived.
God has given us the outward signs of
the coming Of His Son in the terrible
catastrophes which are being visited upon
the nations Of the earth, now in greater
increasing numbers and intensity than
ever before, as in the case also with the
earthquake at the present time.
1t is not for anyone to put out his finger
and point at this or that place or people
affected by an earthquake for the purpose
of fixing responsibility or judgment Of an
especial kind, for wherever an earth
quake occurs, no doubt it is intended by
| God as a general as we'll as a specific
warning even as the falling Of the tower
Of Sloan, spoken Of by the Christ, was
intended for a general as we'll as a specific
warning.
Zion believes the Word Of God no mat
ter what man may say or think; and Zion
has come into existence to gather the
saints of God, and prepare them for the
appearing Of our Lord and Savior Jesus
the Christ
Let one and all give heed to what is be-
ing recorded even in the happenings Of
the world as fulfllment of prophecy,
and let one and all take courage and work
for the upbuilding Of Gods Kingdom.
The time is short. But few more years
but few more days-but little time,
and the Master will be here.
Rejoice, 0 Zion, for your redemption
draweth nigh!

Earthquakes a Sign of
the Coming End
By Apostle Anton Darms

Last week the world was shocked with
the news Of terrible earthquake, which
swept over the larger part of Italy and
brought swift destruction to almost So
900 people, who were swept unexpectedly
into eternity Many towns were wiped
almost out Of existence, homes destroyed,
and nkltitudes left without means of sup
port-dependent entirely upon the good
will Of a sympathizing world.
In last weeks issue Of THE THEO-
Graf, a list Of earthquakes having oc-
Cured from 1912 to 1914 was published,
and the statement added that during a
period Of eighty eight years (from 1912
to 1899 there were twenty-three earth
quakes, and that during the period from
1902 to 1914-thirteen years-there have
been twenty earthquakes, making three
times as many as occurred during the pre-
vious mentioned.
Is such statement, bearing out the
fact Of larger increase Of earthquakes,
to be taken lightly, or are we to consider
in these facts a fulflment Of certain proph-
ecies spoken by our Lord regarding the
signs which would come to designate the
approaching end?
No doubt many of the worldly -wise will
look upon these phenomena Of nature
merely as natural happenings, owing to
certain physical conditions of the earth;
and, aside from a short-lived sympathy
for the suffering pass it over without con-
sidering it in the light of the Scriptures,
as they should.
Strange to say, Notwithstanding the in
crease of learning along many lines, man
has been unable to penetrate the secrets
which lie at the bottom Of these frequent
earthquakes. No one has yet given a sat-
isfactory answer to the cause of these
shocks, lasting often but a few seconds,
accompanied by subterranean sounds, and
causing many notifications of the land
surface, producing crevices in the ground,
breaking up mountains at times, and
changing the course of rivers and lakes.
One writer makes this statement, that
from 100 B. G. to 96 A. D., period of
1896 years, we read Of only sixteen earth
quakes, making an average Of one in 112
years. From 96 A. D. to 1850 A. D.,
period of 1854 years about the same
length of time as given in the previous
period, there were 204 earthquakes, CIV
ing one to every eight years.
From 1850 to 1865, period of fifteen
years, there were fifteen earthquakes, or
one for each year.
From 1865 to 1868, a period Of three
years, there were fifteen earthquakes, or
an average of FIVE for each year"
These earthquakes affect every CONT
nent upon the face of the earth, and al
most every country, at one time or an
other has experienced the visitation of
these destructive forces.
Even in our own land, the United
States, there were recorded during the
years 1872 to 1885, period of fourteen
years, 453 earthquakes, or an average of
about 80 year. A number of these have
been very disastrous, as were those at
Charleston and San Francisco, causing the
loss of hundreds Of millions Of dollars
