Two Lincoln Stories

Many of the stories told about Lin
coin at the Illinois bar represent him
in anything but a dignified light But
they are a part of the character of the
man, says Francis F. Browne in THE
Every Day Life of Abraham Lincoln,
and should be kept in remembrance
where there is reason to suppose they
are usually full of irresistible humor.
The Youths Companion repeats these:
On a certain trial Lincoln appeared
against his friend, Judge Logan. 1t
was a suit between two farmers who
had had a disagreement over a horse
trade. On the day. of the trial, Mr..
Logan, having bought q new shirt
open in the back with a huge stand
ing collar, dressed himself in extreme
haste, and put on the shirt with the
bosom at the back, linen coat con-
cealing the blunder. He dazed the
jury with his horse" knowledge; and
as the day was sultry, he took off his
coat and summed up in his shirt
sleeves. Lincoln. sitting behind him,
took in the situation, and when his
turn came he said:
Gentlemen, Mr.. Logan has been
trying to make you believe he knows
more about horse than those honest
old farmers who are witnesses. Now.
gentlemen, I submit to you" (here he
lifted Logan out of his chair and
turned him with his back to the Jury
and the crowd. at the same time flap
ping up the enormous standing col
lar). what dependence can you place
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-10-09

on his horse knowledge when he has
not sense enough to put on his shirt 2"
Roars of laughter followed. and the
jury promptly gave the verdict to Lin
coin.
The preceding incident recalls an
other, in which Lincoln figures as q
horse trader. He and q certain Judge
once fell to bantering each other
about trading horses; and it was
agreed that the next morning at 8
O'Clock they should make trade, the
horses to be unseen up to that hour,
under forfeit of twenty-five dollars.
At the hour appointed the Judge came
up, leading the sorriest-looking speci-
men of a nag ever seen. In a few
minutes Lincoln was seen approach
ing with a wooden sawhorse on his
shoulders. Great were the shouts and
the laughter of the crowd; and these
increased when Lincoln, surveying the
judges animal, set down his sawhorse
and exclaimed, We'll, judge this is
the first time I ever got the worst of
1t in a horse trade"-Current Opin-
ion.

Poor Devils

General Edward Kirkpatrick. u. S.
A. tells this fine story in the San Fran
cisco Argonaut:
While at the front 1 witnessed acts
of horror and savagery, but the
French soldier is certainly as chiv-
alrous and forgiving out of combat as
he is brave and determined in battle.
There was pointed out to ME a cor
poral who had suffered from many
acts OF brutality on the part of the
enemy while prisoner, and who de-
clared to his superior officer:
i am no longer The same man. At
first l was full of chivalry and roman
tic illusions. Now it is retaliation.
death. no more pity for these damned
Boches.''
\ Very WELL" said his commander.
After the attack on AVocourt wood
this dreadful French corporal brought
in two half-starved prisoners, and was
discovered by his commanding officer
giving them part OF his own soup
and tobacco.
WHAT cried his commander.
where are now your terrible resolu-
tions?"
oh" said he, but look at these
poor devils; they don't know anything:
they don't even know how to roll a

BRINGING THE WAR TO US
TTAvING with impunity slapped tn

HAVING with impunity slapped the
face of the Wilson administra-
tion,~the German Imperial Gov
ernment is now completing the pro-
cess of humiliation by wiping it's feet
on the mangled remains. Sticking
its ugly nose into an American harbor
just long enough to let us know of
its presence, a German submarine has
begun a surprising war on the coast
wise and ocean-going vessels Of allied
shipping and black-listed neutral
boats. Possibly the Germans have
kept within their legal rights. That
question cannot be decided fully until
all of the reports of the numerous
attacks of Sunday are officially filed.
But the effect cannot be other than
to bring to the American mind more
clearly and forcibly than ever before
the horrors of submarine warfare, and
one shot at an unwarned ship carry
ing Americans will bring down upon
the head of Germany the long pent
up wrath of the American people de-
spite the shilly -shallying of wobbling
President.
The ravages of the U-53 in Amer
lean waters plunge the country into
a new crisis, and one from which even
the weakened policy of the Wilson
administration scarcely will be able
to crawl out if it is found that the sea
raider has overstepped the bounds of
international law. One false step, and
the President must eithep. make good
his threats of retaliation or submit to
the imperial boot upon his neck.
Evidently, Germany haIcounted upon
the latter. The President has let the
Kaiser have his way before, so why
not now? The German admiralty
knew full well the risk it ran in send
ing the U-boat to these waters. Evil
IDENTIFY it felt safe in any eventuality.
1t scarcely would have taken such
chances with a firm, courageous man
in the White House. But it reckons
without the temper of the American
people.

system. think we should strive to en-
large upon the new one; improve 1t by
broadening it. The statewide primary
should be supplemented with the State
pam phlet. delivered to every voter,
setting forth the party platforms, rec
ords of the candidates and accurate
details of the campaign from an un-
blased standpoint, so that the electors
may be fully informed. The only
trouble with the statewide primary
act is that it has not been extended far
enough, and the same fault is to be
found with the nonpartisan ballot act"
The Philadelphia Inquirer has this
to say about the registration in that
city: THE total registration of voters
In Philadelphia for the presidential
election will be under 100000. Re-
turns from all of the forty eight wards
with thirty-four precincts to be heard
from give total registration of
2S0.109 for the three days this Fall.
The registration for the mayoralty pri-
maries, when a battle between the
McNichol-Penrose and Ware forces
was impending for the nomination of
a successor to Blankenburg. totaled
303, ,1S3, while the registration for the
November election prior to that con-
test, when Penrose and Brumbaugh
were candidates. was 289,720. The
total for Saturday, up to date, is S4,972,
and the missing districts may bring
this to 10000. The total for the first
registration day this year was 92,624
and for the second 102.513. The total
Republican enrolment in the city to
date is 23.9S1, Democratic 32,249,
Washington 2,169 Keystone SAT. Pro-
hibition 2S2 and Socialist 1.400. Sup
porters of Hughes are elated on the
big Republican lead, while the Wilson
men are keenly disappointed on the
small showing made in the Democratic
enrolment"

THE TURKEY THAT WOULD
BUILD 4 HOUSE, BUT DIDN'T

large number of accounts with but
one deposit. 1t is mute evidence of a
good resolution broken. A certain
father with two children had them in
sured in an industrial insurance COM
pany. He concluded that he could
save the money he was paying for in
surance some other way and decided
to put it in savings bank, and pro
ceeded to open an account for each
child. The first was the last deposit
ever made. The insurance collector
quit his visits and the fathers good
resolution to save for his children
stopped with his coming, and to-day
they are without either bank ac-
count or insurance.
The rainy day comes to every man.
No matter how long it may be de-
layed or how distant it may seem, or
how bright the Sky to-day, trouble is
bound to come to us all, some time.
A certain young man, full of energy
and ambition, with as bright pros
poets as a man ever had and highly
successful, made the boast that he
never expected his income to be less
than it was at that time; but inside
OF three years it was nothing. He
thought he had a life job, and it had
every indication of being such, but the
props went from under, and at forty
he had to begin building all over
again. He does not boast now.
The turkey in the story was no
more foolish than a lot of human be-
ings. The difference lies in the fact
that the turkey takes what is given
him, or what he can find. We have
the power to choose. We are in a
large measure masters of our own
fate. The beaver and the ant have the
right idea; they build their houses,
fair weather or foul. knowing that
having house you can go into it
when it rains or stay out of doors
when it don't, as you like. You are
safe either way.
