ONCE IN A THOUSAND YEARS.

/ ONCE in a THOUSAND YEARS
There's call for Lincoln in this
trying age
With the heart of a lion and the
head of sage.
Who will write with his heart on the
on the tip of his pen
That the so-called new freedom" is
meant for all men.
Who'll say that real justice is not
just phrase
To lower some people. and others
upraise.
But man like Lincoln you'll seldom
find
But once in a thousand years.
There's need for Lincoln firm, true
and strong
For the foes are many and the fight
will be long.
For the freedmen's freedom is being
beset
Their feet are entangled in race
hatred's dragnet
Their most sacred rights are being
taken away
Their foes are depressing them day
after day.
And they're praying the Lord a Lin
coin to send
In less than a thousand years.
Oh! for Lincoln to uplift his voice
And cause the hearts OF the op-
pressed to rejoice.
To pick out the flaws and point out
the blame
To call those race haters and put
them to shame.
To tell them that black men though
humble they be
Are all human beings and all must
be free"
'Tis sad just to think that a Lincoln
may come
But once in a thousand years.
There's dearth in the land for
Lincoln today
For the freedmen's rights are being
taken away.
They're taking his privileges one by
one
The works of Great Lincoln are
being undone.
The men Of the South from the White
House down
Regard the black man with
threatening frown.
There's a crying need for Lincoln
right now, much
Less than a thousand years.
Our Lincoln has gone to a happier
place.
We call him ours though not of our
race.
We call him ours for the good he's
done
We call him ours for the freedom
won;
For the great Good Lincoln can but be
The Ideal of all men who would be
Free.
And we thank God for sending A
Lincoln to us
Once in a thousand years.

Many customers are wanting four
and five pairs of our shoes while they
are cheap, but we do not feel justified
in selling one person such a large
amount and possibly keep out an hon.
est purchaser, who has not much cash.
These sales are put on for the benefit
Of those who are short on funds and
who really need shoes as we'll as to
give opportunity to save few pen
nles. G. A. Page, 1903 East Eight

SOLDIERS IN TEARS

At length the beautiful little village of Saffron Waldon was reached. and we arrived at the Red Cross Hospital. It was a wonderfully equipped place. and every care and every medical in- vention and device for the benefit of the poor soldiers were all in full play.
 Some of the poor fellows looked des perately shattered in health. Their nerves had all gone to pieces, too. and one young man who had been walking about the grounds without assistance of nurse or even walking stick suddenly burst into tears and cried like a baby. Lots of them do that" said one of the nurses, particularly if a door slams or any sudden noise startles them. No human being other than a soldier can realize what they've come through.
