NATION NEEDS LINCOLNS.
Will Be Sad Day For America When 1t
Fails to Produce Such Men.

At a public dinner in New York, in
commemoration of Lincoln. Miss Ida
NJ. Tarbell. author of a Life of Lin
coln," spoke as follows:
~ think l can say Abraham Lincoln
is the only man, living or dead, with
whom l could have spent five years and
not known boredom.
"Lincoln was Ii man who never pre-
tended to be anything he really was
not. He never found time to conform
to the usages of society. He did not
understand or care for its amenities.
He never learned to YEA his clothes
properly. His trousers bagged. His
coats did not fit.
you may remember the eminent
Massachusetts, statesman who spent an
hour with Lincoln. and the only entry
he made in his journal after their dis.
cussion of great national affairs was
that Lincoln wore yarn socks.
Lincoln always was anxious to get
things just right. Sometimes, in ION.
sequence, he seemed slow to the our.
try, but he always insisted with him
self that his acts must conform to the
moral law. You cannot conceive of
Lincoln trifing with his conscience.
HE wanted to be sure always that
his decisions should ever stand as just
in the annals of the world and the his
tory Of human endeavor.
"There are several instances to prove
this. He was told by his supporters
he would lose an election by taking a
certain stand. He did lose, but he
said: we are right. The people will
recognize it by and by And they did,
and four years later he was in the
White House.
"Lincoln had real goodness-not the
kind of goodness that breaches only on
Sunday, but the kind of goodness that
reaches out and embraces all ones fell
low men. He was the tenderest man
that ever lived. No one suffered more
than he during the awful four years of
civil strife.
Lincoln was the best man American
institutions ever produced. 1t would
be, indeed, a sad thing if our institu-
tons failed at any future great crisis
to produce such as Lincoln"

Read In New York. April Is. 1865

0H, slow to smite and swift to spare
~ Gentle and merciful and just.
Who. in the fear of God, didst bear
The sword of power. a nations trust,
In sorrow by thy bier we stand,
Amid the awe hat bushes all,
And speak the anguish of a land
That shook with horror at thy fall.
Thv task is done; the bond r free.
We bear thee to an honored grave,
Whose prOudest monument shall be
The broken letters of the slave.
Pure was thy life; its bloody close
Hath placed thee with the sons of light.
Among the noble host of those
Who persisted in the cause of Right.

When Lincoln Did Not Get His Way.
The application of a man who want
ed to be chaplain in the army during
Mr.. Lincoln's administration was re-
Gently found. Attached to it are a
number of Endorsements which are
not only interesting in themselves, but
aid in disclosing the characters of the
W men whose influence largely mold
ed the policy of the government in
those turbulent times. The indorse-
ments by President Lincoln and Sec
rotary of War Stanton read as follows:
Dear Stanton-Appoint this man chap.
lain in the army. A. LINCOLN.
Dear Mr.. Lincoln-He is not a preacher
E. M. STANTON.
The following Endorsements are dat.
ed a few months later. but come just
below:
Dear Stanton-He is now.
A. LINCOLN.
Dear Mr.. Lincoln-But there is no va
cancy. e. M. STANTON.
Dear stanton-Appoint him chaplain at
large. a. LINCOLN.
Dear Mr.. L~incoln-There is no warrant
OF law for that. E. NJ. STANTON.
Dear stanton-Appoint him anyhow.
A. LINCOLN.
Dear Mr.. Lincoln-I will not.
E. NJ. STANTON.
The appointment was not made. but
the papers were filed in the war de-
partment, where they remain as evil
dence of L~incoln's friendship and Stan
toms obstinate nerve.

MADE ISLAND FOR COW
philadelphia Ledger

Hurrah! Uncle Sam has made a
pasture field for one COW in mid-Pacif-
ic.
For long time past little schoon-
er sailing every three months with
provisions from Honolulu has carried
a cargo of soil to Midway. There the
earth was dumped upon the coral reef
until enough of it has been covered to
support a crop of grass, which Uncle
Sam tells us officially is sufficient to
pasture COW.
Small news, you exclaim. Yes, to ev-
erybody except the operator who
works the relay station of the Pacific
cable. To him it spells fresh milk
instead of the embalmed variety.
Were you ever abroad ship for
one month when you were driven to
timed milk" as the Briton says, for
your oatmeal at breakfast? If you
were then you can appreciate the joy
of that cable operator in his cow
But the real point is that instead
of grabbing islands from some one
else our country makes them.

of fresh air, Whenever you feel chill
ly walk briskly outdoors or take few
physical exercises before an open
window. Don't expect to do siren.
uous stunt of walking or exercising
that will last you all day--take few
full-breathing exercises and physical
culture movements once every hour,
just before your drink of hot water.
TO keep your blood circulating brisk.
ly but not violently is great help in
throwing off any disease.

HOW TO CURE GRIP
One Way Is to Eat Less and Breathe
More
(The Nautilus.)

(rhe Nautilus.)
Read the United States health ser
vice instructions about how to keep
yourself well, and live up to them.
Get plenty of outdoor exercise every
day and always sleep with your win
dows well opened.
This is my treatment for breaking
up cold before 1t gets hold:
|. At the first sign of cold take
good dose or two of good cathar-
tic, epson salts, for instance.
2. And at the same time begin to
gargle your throat frequently. Two
teaspoonfuls Of peroxide of hydrogen
or dioxygen to two or three teaspoon
fuls OF water will do for this gargle.
Reserve about one teaspoonful of the
mixture, add another teaspoonful of
water and snu9 1t up the nose. II
this Is strong enough to smart the
nose then add little more water.
Nothing kills the germs like peroxide
of hydrogen or dioXygen. Many ply.
sicians say that solution of salt and
water will kill the germs just as
quickly. SO If you have not peroxide
or dioXygen at hand use strong salt
and water for n gargle, and weaken II
n little to snuff up the nose. | be-
lieye one cannot use these gargles
and snulllngs too frequently when one
feels n cold coming on.
B. Also cut your food supply in two
and let your diet he as near a LIQUID
one as possible, with no candies or
desserts, and drink glass of hot
water-or cold If you prefer every
hour! DO 1t night and day, all the
time that you are awake.
The secret of success in this treat
ment Is to begin with the first symp-
tom Of cold or i'll feeling and pursue
the treatment thoroughly for two or
three days. 1t is my personal belief
that this treatment win cure any case
OF cold OF any sort, either from chill
etc, or infection. IL II is begun quick.
ly enough and pursued thoroughly.
The same success can be achieved
If you will cut out solid food entirely
for two days, making your meals of
hot liquids only, following out the
other instructions in regard to gar.
giles and hot drinks.
Last but not least, with all and in
all, and over all, be sure that you
get nothing but fresh air to breathe,
night and day. You cannot keep your.
self warm without breathing plenty

DYNAMITERS FACES TRIAL

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 22-The
concluding chapter in the famous
dynamite case, which had its climax
in the blowing up of the Los Angeles
Times building, will begin on Mon
day, when David Caplan, the last OF
the accused men to come to trial,
will face the court. Caplan was in
dicted together with Matthew A.
Schmidt, recently convicted and SEN
fenced for life, on the charge of muir
dering Charles Hagerty. one of the
twenty victims of the Times explo-
sion. 1t is expected that Caplan will
be defended by lawyers engaged by
his friends, and that another long
fight will result from the govern
ment's attempt to make a clean
sweep of the gang.
Schmidt, who is under sentence for
life, was granted stay of execution
until today, to perfect an appeal.
