ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Doubtful IS it if any character in
American history has been as great an
inspiration to men as that of Abraham
Lincoln. Washington, the soldier, the
pioneer in the eXemplification of the
principles of free government, has ever
held first place in the estimate of the
youth of every generation and by all
has the great first-president been rever-
ed as the master mould of true Ameri-
canism, but Lincoln, because he more
intimately touched the masses and be-
cause of the obstacles he had to over
come in preparing himself for the at
tainment of the high position he held
these facts added to those connected
with the remarkable phases of his
career in most troublous times have
left an indefnable impress upon every
era.
Hardly any notable character has had
more superlatlves woven into the de-
lineatlon of his life; few have had more
good-intentioned, but overfanciful ro-
mances written about him; not many
have had so great number of we'll
meaning yet totally inaccurate princi-
pies ascribed to him as has Lincoln.
But making due allowance for this in.
exactness, this tendency to overesti-
mate. to exaggerate, Lincoln stands
out to-day as rare type of rugged
honesty, simplicity, fair mindedness,
broad humanity, high principle and in
domitable villa character well worthy
of emulation.

BANQUET OF QUEEN
 KATHERINES COURT

Says the Mobile Item: One of the ele- gant carnival festivities was the ban quet given last evening by Queen Kath- er1ne to King Felix III, the ladies in waiting and the sir knights of the royal court. The table was laid for 32 guests, and was adorned with the royal colors, purple and gold. The centerpece was a handsome bouquet of yellow daffodils, imbedded in ferns, while at each corner of the table was a bow of purple chif- ion. Royalty was in evidence every where; in the silver candlestcks with their purple shades and especially in the gifts of the queen to her ladies in wait ing, as each place was marked by an os- trich feather fan, with a bouquet of daffodils tied to it with a shower of purple and gold ribbons.
 The knights found at their places dainty little boutonierres of violets and daffodils. The salted nuts were in small gold crowns engraved with the name of each guest, souvenirs of the happy occasion.
 The lovely young queen, who was elegantly gowned in a fleSh-colored net trimmed in silver and fur, was a regal hostess, she and the king presiding al the banquet with royal grace.
 The members of the court who were honored by their sovereigns were: Miss Irwin Fearn, first lady in waiting; Miss Martha Collins of Philadelphia and Alsor Wilson, Miss Hafer of New York an6 Julian McPhillips, Miss Gabriella Cook and Cecil Bates, Miss Louise Amsler of Hampstead, Tex, and Allie Fowlkes Miss Nancy Palmer of Evansville, Ind. and Henry Izard; Miss Lonnie Lyons Vass and J.

CONCERNING THAT PERSON WHO BELIEVES THAT YOU
 CANNOT CONQUER FATE

Y TOPELESSLY low in her mind, a
 woman of my acquaintance said

IT TOPELESSLY low in her mind, a woman of my acquaintance said
 \ \ the other day when asked the
 cause of her gloom and melancholy: Its because I've never had chance in life and never will"
 | The statement was so startling, so out Ief the ordinary that & further question
 was propounded as to why this atti- tude of mind, when she answered: Years ago in a charming novel called Anne written by Constance Woolson, the author said: You cannot conquer
 fate It has stuck in my. mind like it
 was glued, and I've come to believe 1t l from my own experience"
 The questioner suggested that far from such condition being the case and not having had any chance in life, the gen. eral verdict of her friends was that she had been born with silver spoon not to say golden spoon, in her mouth. Added to this, she had had great opportunities also, which she seemed to have added to, and made the most of. Also fair share
 of talents and good looks-trifles never to be despised.
 The woman of gloom and melancholy
 shook her head in an q wont be per- suaded" sort of manner, and reiterated
 her plaint that she had entered the world too heavily handicapped to get anywhere worth while.
 Confronted with the definite question: Now, just what do you mean?" she said she had spent her life reading biog- raphies of great men and women and dis covered that one and all, they had been born in some "obscure village;" not a
 moderately bustling town, not even a
 thriving local center on the main line of a big railroad system, but in tucked away-in-the- hills and ''never-heard-o of before village lacking a telephone sys-
 tenn or even an electric car line; the more obscure it was the better it was for dis
 tinguished career purposes.
 She went on to say If body hap
 pened to be born in a hamlet that had
 to put up a circuit rider every third Sun
 day, and where the mail was dependent
 upon bi-weekly stage coach, one might
 rise to almost any heights of fame
 whereas if born in city, one never got
 anywhere at all What with traffic noises and smoke laden air you simply could not soar. Like the submerged tenth, it was
 impossible for the city born to rise above
 their environment. What you might want
 to do and what you could do, were as
 widely sundered as the poles Born in a
 metropolis you 'stayed putt born in the
 heaven blessed obscure village, you
 aeroplaned unrepressed! You hitched
 your wagon to a star and went whirling amid constellations and stars of the first
 magnitude
 If you are able to point proudly upon
 the map,' she continued, ito place that isn't recorded as the spot where you
 were born;' if you can claim truthfully for your infant years a cot and the lit tie window where the sun came peeping in at morn, you may even, though an anti-suffragist become President of the United States, or wife of an Italian mo- bleman. Born in a despised city, the best you can ever hope for is to serve your fellow citizens as a police woman Tt is hard, very had she averred
