THE CRlTTENI
Back to his days of youth. AS
strength and purposes of his
fife gradually unfolded to his
country, may we say that sad
visaged. soul-riven, cabin born,
poverty-manacled. dreamer of
dreams, himself did not catch a
vision of that day when he would
be the instrument that would
strike the manacles f ON a shack
led race, even though he may
never have dreamed that the
words which he uttered and the
thoughts to which he gave eX-
preston, would be perpetuated
in the hearts and memories of a
people for whom he was destin-
ted in the end to surrender that
life which had found its being
amid such inhospitable surround
ings.
Yet, amid such circumstances.

worthy of their esteem,
The fame of Lincoln as an ora
tor was made serene by his de.
bate with Douglas, his political
speech at Cooper Institute, his
Grafton at the dedication of the
cemetery at Gettysburg, and his
second inaugural address. Meth
of these distinct examples of ar.
gument and eloquence has ever
been surpassed, that judgement
is confirmed by competent critics
throughout the English-speaking
world. The literary style of the
frontiersman who spent but six
months in school commanded the
enconiums of the French Acade-
my. Perhaps the reputation of
no other member of the human
family is more firmly established,
certainly there is none whose
character is so well understood
and souniversally admired; and
whose honesty, wisdom and JUS
tice are frankly admitted by his
opponents.
When Lincoln came to the seat
of government the Republic
had reached a crisis, the conflict
between Liberty and Slavery
could no longer be delayed. From
the heights of philosophy stand
ing above the contending hosts,
above the prejudices, looking to
the welfare of the republic. He
utt cred: "A house divided
against itself cannot stand,
believe this country cannot per-
manently endure half slave and
half free" He kept for his
hand book the Declaration of In
dependence, which reads: That
all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Crea-
tor with certain inalienable
rights: that among these are life
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness"
Then came another crisis, the
crisis of secession and civil war.
Lincoln held the idea that the
North and South in spite of Sc
cession, must remain face to face,
that physically they could not
seperate, that they must have
more or less commerce, and that

Instead of laughing at me, Jim just

told me so with that smile on your

that l was anything but the man you
were saying you loved.

out of the notion, for l am not going

got spoiled by his trying to make
himself over into a make-believe
lover. Why is it that man wants
to spoil it all when he is getting along
so fine with a woman by starting in

the least chance?"
Jim went back to his old excuse.

masterpiece, remained in force from

HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
OF Course Young Mother Could Only
Reason That the Fault Must Be
With the Scales.

The story is told of a young mother
who, after her first baby had been
born, hurried to a hardware store to
purchase a pair Of scales, that she
might be able to keep tabs on the re-
markable growth Of her first born.
When she BOT them home and
weighed the baby for the first time the
little bunch Of humanity did not quite
measure up to her expectations and
she promptly carried the scales back,
stating that they were not satisfac-
tory. Asked by the storekeeper what
the difficulty was, she replied:
Il think the scales are not right. My
baby did not weigh as much as I think
she ought to-"
did it ever occur to you," asked the
bard-hearted seller of hardware, that
the fault might be with the baby and
not the scales?"
She saw the point and kept the
scales.-Brockton Enterprise.
