The Lincoln Record

CAmong the notes OF the man who
had been private secretary to Abra-
ham Lincoln was found a summary of
Lincoln's gifts and achievements. II
is of significance, both because it Is
not usual for private secretaries to
make heroes of men whose infirmlties
are likely to impress them more than
their talents, and because the judy
ments agree with those formed by
persons not so well placed for judging.
We reprint the summary
Turned his defeat for the senate
into a success for the presidency.
Took into the cabinet his rivals and
made them his ministers and serv-
ants
Conquered the rebellion.
Liberated the slaves.
Outwitted all the intrigues against
him in cabinet and camp.
Gave his lmplarabe rival the chief
justiceship.
Disarmed all criticism by shoulder
ing all faults.
Consolidated his party and increas-
ed his maiorties.
Held the people TO their great task.
Made the strongest argument for
peace and the best defense Of war
Gave his Springfield prayer, his
Gettysburg address and his second in
augural the most pathetic and elo-
quent utterances Of his time
Forcihle in speech ana faultless in
logic, he enriched the language with
new thoughts, new definitions, new
maxims, new parallels and new pro-
verbs.
Was a true type and exemplar of
his country, his race and his govern
ment.
Wore honor without pride, and
welded power without oppression.
Lived like a peasant by necessity of
birth and fortune, reigned like a mon
lrch by right of representative in
Itinct, native intellect, the wisdom of
and love of his fellowmen.
Died a martyr and was wept by the
civilized world.

WHEN YOU WASH YOUR
HAIR DON'T USE SOAP

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as 1t dries
the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and
few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and Is
soft, fresh looking, bright fluffy,
waVy and easy to handle. Besides.
II loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
