1t Is related that one day man came
to Lincoln with a sad tale. His son
had been sentenced to death. an only
son too. Lincoln said kindly:.
II am sorry can do nothing for you.
Listen to this telegram received from
General Butler yesterday" and he read
the following:
president Lincoln-I pray you not to
interfere with the courts martial Of the
army. You will destroy all discipline
among our soldiers"
Lincoln watched the old mans grief
for a minute and then exclaimed:
by lingo! Butler or no Butler. here
goes"
Then he wrote:
"Job White is not to be shot until
further orders from me-"
Why" said the old man sadly, II
thought it was pardon. You may
order him shot next week."
my old friend" replied Lincoln, II
see you are not very we'll acquainted
with me. If your son never dies till
orders come from me to shoot him he
will live to be great deal older than
Methuselah."
One day woman, accompanied by
senator, called on President Lincoln.
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 the pardon
Of her husband. Lincoln heard her
story and then asked what kind Of a
husband her husband was.

"Well," said Lincoln. after examining
the papers, Il will pardon him and
turn him over to you for safekeeping."
The woman, overcome with Joy, be-
gan to sob as though her heart would
break.
"My dear woman" said Lincoln. "if

"You do not understand me-" she
cried between sobs.

Primitive Mans First Crude Efforts
Toward the Beautiful.
In the beginning man went forth
each day-some to do battle, some to
the chase, others again to dig and
delve in the field-all that they might
gain and live or lose and die-until
there was found among them one, diff
fering from the rest, who stayed by
the tents with the women and traced
strange devices with burnt stick over
a gourd.
\ This man. who took no Joy In the
ways of his brothers, who cared not
for the conquest and fretted in the
field; this designer of quaint patterns.
this deviser Of the beautiful, who per-
ceived in nature about him curious
curvings, as faces are seen in the fire
this dreamer apart was the first artist.
And when from the field and from
afar there came back the people they
took the guord and drank from out
Of 1t.
And presently there came to this
man another-and in time others-Of
like nature chosen by the gods, and so
they worked together. and soon they
fashioned from the moistened earth
forms resembling the gourd. And with
the power Of creation. the heirloom of
the artist, presently they went beyond
the slovenly suggestion Of nature. and
the first vase was born in beautiful
nronortinn
And the toilers toiled and were
a-thirst. and the heroes returned from
fresh victories to rejoice and feast.
and all drank alike from the artists

note the. while of the craftsman's
pride and understanding not his glory
in his work: drinking at the cup. not
from choice, not from consciousness
that it was beautiful. but because, for
sooth. there was none other.-James

Few people but who have heard OF
Russell II. Conwell and have learn
ed something OF his great work. Be
cause of his great fame as a lectur-
er. minister. educator, philanthropist
and worker. his visit to Pendleton
next Tuesday evening will be an event
OF importance to this city. And
when it is said that he will deliver
his greatest of all lectures. Acres OF
Diamonds" TO the patrons OF the Ly-
ceum course. Pendleton people will
appreciate the opportunity presented
TO them.
For more than 81 years DR.. Con-
we'll has been delivering this same
address and at his home city. Phila-
delphia, on May 21st last, he deliv-
cred II for the 5OO0th time before
an audience which was the greatest
ever gathered In the historic Academy
OF Music since the nomination OF
General Grant for the presidency OF
the United States. At that time he
was presented with a purse of $4,000
and an album containing the auto
graphs Of 5000 friends.
DR.. Conwell has earned ss,6s0,0SO
by his lecture work and has devoted
practically the whole of it to philan-
thropic work.
There are many philanthropists be-
side whose gifts this sum is small.
but the remarkable and striking fea-
ture Of It all is that DR.. Conwell
earned it himself. It would be per-
fectly safe TO say that in this respect
DR.. Conwell is a unique figure am
ong his fellows, being perhaps the
only man in the world who has been
able to give such a vast amount di'
rectly as the fruit of his own labor.
All honor is due to the man who can
muster a hundred companions TO
help him harvest a fortune, but the
laurel belongs to the vigorous giant
who goes in alone and single handed
renders from earth's treasury such a
generous portion.

able all-the -year-round medicine, is
especially useful in the spring. Get
