February 10 and a short discussion oc-
CURED in the house. According to
Nicolay and Hay:
1T (the discussion) did not rise
above the level of an ordinary party
wrangle. The few Democrats who
took part in it complained of the presi-
dent for refusing an armistice. while
the Republicans retorted with Jeffer-
son Davis conditions about the two
countries and the more recent declar-
ations of his Richmond harangue. an
nouncing his readiness to perish for
independence. On the whole. both
congress and the country were graft
fed that the incident had called out
Mr.. Lincoln's renewed declaration of
an unalterable resolve to maintain the
Union. Patriotic hope was quickened
and public confidence strengthened by
noting once more his singleness of
purpose and steadfastness of faith.
No act Of his could have formed
more fitting prelude to his second in
auguration, which was now rapidly ap-
preaching, and the preliminary steps
| of which were at this time consum-
mated"
This feeling throughout the country
and in congress was becoming evident
to the president on his last birthday,
80 much so that he commented on II
to his friends and advisers. 1t showed
him that the nation was behind him,
and that he would be supported to the
completion of his work of cementing
the Union.
Almost in the nature of birthday
gift came the formal announcement to
President Lincoln that he had been
elected president of the United States.
On the very day of Lincoln's birth.
day the first of the cotton ships Sher.
man had sent from Savannah put into
New York and Newport. r. l. The
newspapers of February 13 featured
the dispatches announcing the arrival
of the vessels and commenting with
favor on the prospects of getting great
cargoes of cotton from the newly
opened ports of the South.
The dailies were also filled with dis
patches telling of the progress OF
Grants campaign against Lee, which
was beginning so to formulate itself
that Appomattox should end the war,
and that Sherman had completed his
march to the sea. None viewed the
approach of peace with greater gratifi-
cation than did Lincoln, and It was
with the spirit of this period of his
last birthday upon him that he wrote
his second inaugural address, which
is fraught with human sympathy, 30
expressive Of the character of the
man.
The sad story Of the great presi-
dents death is familiar to all. That
birthday, 30 lightened by hope and
gratitude for the success of the Union
cause. none could foresee. unless. as
some writer's declare. the president
himself had forebodings of II.
In all events, II is pleasant to con
template that the closing months Of
Abraham Lincoln's life were gifted
with feeling Of peace which for long
he had not known. 1t was during these
paragraph OF his second inaugural ad-
dress:
With malice toward none, with
charity for all, with flrmness In the
right as God gives us to see the right,
let us strive on to finish the work we
are in, to bind up the nations wounds,
to care for him who shall have borne
the battle, and for his widow and his
orphan-to do all which may achieve
and cherish a just and lasting peace
among ourselves and with all nations"

keen appreciation Of the
ludicrous in persons and situations
that bore the outward appearance of
utmost dignity and funereal solemnity.
the martyred president was a melan-
choly man. The whole course of his
life had made him SO.
In childhood he endured the most
rigorous hardship in the wilds of
southern Indiana and central Illinois.
His father was sort Of ne'er-do-well
who somehow couldn't seem to gather
any of this worlds goods together. His
mother was patient, God-fearing toll
er who held no hope of reward in
mortal life. This mother encouraged
his efforts at learning when he was
little fellow, and just when mother
and son were getting to be chummy
and have their times of reading aloud
together she died-after only weeks
illness. The sons grief was lasting.
When he was twenty-five. Lincoln
fell in love with little Ann Rutledge,
who was wearing her heart out in
grief for faithless lover. After a
time, Lincoln won little AIMS regard
and they planned to marry-though he
was desperately poor. Came a streak
of good luck; he went to the legisla-
ture at Springfield and she went to
Jacksonville, ILL.,, to a young ladies'
academy. Presently Lincoln got word
that she was i'll. One week later she
was dead. This sorrow Lincoln added
to his early grief.
Years later, the tall, awkward coun-
try lawyer was elected president Of
the United States-an honor unsur-
passable. But with it came the
ghastly tragedy of civil strife. And to
his sorrow and his grief of old he
added this load of sadness. Four years
and more Lincoln plodded slowly
along under the burden, a national
mourner. Then through the clouds
came ray of sunshine. The war was
nearing an end. The president saw
peace ahead. He planned to bind a
nations wounds-North and South
alike. He became happier-rather, he
became less unhappy, for his spirit
was expanding.
But once again the glittering lance
of malignant fate shot out. This time
II brought down the victim 1t had
played with for half a century-A.
Lincoln!
The following telegram, one OF the
many instances of his works of mercy
and compassion. was sent by Abraham
Lincoln from the White House on his
last birthday alive. 1t typifies the spir-
1t Of the man in the last days of his
life and is exemplary of the attitude he
took, not only towards individuals but
toward the peoples and the states who
were opposed in arms to the Union.

CATARRH LEADS .
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. It may
be relieved. but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste. smell and hearing. affects the
voice. deranges the digestion. and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat Of the trouble. purifies the blood.
and is SO successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
