Urged Temperance
 Not Abstilence

A SLuuy OI LHe tlIe dHu WTltiHSS VI Lincoln will show to. the unbiased mind that Abraham Lincoln was a temperance man and a temperance ad- vocate in the correct sense; that Is, he believed in moderation in the use of all things. The quotations that the Prohibitionists have used as coming from Lincoln, when those quotationF have been authentic, have usually been statements which he made when speaking of the abuse and excessive use of liquors. Mir. Lincoln's ideas, however, upon the liquor question, were far removed from those of the modern agitating Prohibition leader. The following extract taken from his address delivered February 22, 1842, before the Springfield Washingtonian Temperance Society will bear out the above statement.
 Brands Fanatics as Unjust.
 "The preacher, it is said. advocates temperance because he is fanatic. and desires a union of the church and state; the lawyer from his pride, and aanity of hearing himself speak; and the hired agent for his salary"
 "Too much denunciation against dram-sellers and dram drinkers was indulged in. This I think was both impolitic and unjust. It was impolitic because it is not much in the nature of man to be driven to anything; less to be driven about that which is ex- clusively his own business; and least of all where such driving is to be sub mitted to at the expense of pecuniary interest of burning appetite" Persuasion Most Effective.
 "To have expected them to do oth. erwise than they did-to have expect ed them not to meet denunciatior with denunciation, crimination witf crimination, and anathema with ana thema--was to expect reversal o1 human nature, which is Gods decree and can never be reversed. When thu conduct of men is designed to be in fuenced, persuasion, kind, unassum ing persuasion, should ever be adopt ed. It is an old and true maxim tha "a drop of honey catches more fiie' than a gallon of gall" So with man If you would win a man to your cause first convince him that you are fi sincere friend. Therein is a drop o honey that catches his heart, which say what he will. is the great highrOa' | to his reason, and which when ono gained, you will find but little troubl in onvincing his judgment of the jus tice of your cause, if indeed that caus really be just one. On the contrar assume to dictate to his judgment. o to command his action, or to mar him as one to be summed or despise'i and he will retreat within himself close all the avenues to his head ar' heart; and though your cause be naE ed truth itself, transformed to tn heaviest lance, harder than steel, am sharper than steel can be made. an though you throw it with more thal Herculean force and precision. yo shall be no more able to pierce hin than to penetrate the hard shell of
 tortoise with rye straw. Such i man, and so must he be understoo' by those who would lead him, even t his own best interests" Adv

It would seem that the submarine route would moi only insure the safe delivery of the mails, but would also insure the de livery of such sums as are consigned 10 Teutonic firms or persons.

agement of the company has been able,
both in the technical railroad sense and
also in its financial acumen, honesty, and
conservatism. The railroad has never
been run from Wall Street, and regular
dividends have been paid for many years,
per cent. since 1898. Few railroads have
a more moderate bonded debt ahead of
the stock, or a simpler financial structure.
1t has been common saying that no one
treated stockholders better than jim Hill.
Why, then, has the stock fallen?

objective, and then to be marooned there
like a forsaken sailor on desert island
this was unjust.
All, but she did care! 1t was as if some
portion of her refused absolutely to
obey her will in this matter. In silence
she might declare her determination not
to care, or through tense lips she might
mutter the same thing in spoken words;
but this made no difference. She was
free agent to be sure. She had the right
to dictate terms to herself She had the
sole right to be arbiter of her destiny. 1t
was to that end she had craved freedom.
1t was for her alone to decide about what
she should care and should not care. She
was no longer a schoolgirl to be controlled
by others. She was both Judge and jury
for herself, and she had passed sentence
to the effect that, since she had chosen
not to care when to care had been her
privilege, it was no longer her privilege to
care when she chose to care. Nothing
since then had developed to give her the
right to alter that verdict. If anything, it
held truer after Peters departure than
before. She must add to her indictment
the harm she had done him.
Still, she cared. Staring out of her
window upon the quay, she caught her
breath at sight of every new passer-by, in
fearful hope that it might prove to be
Monte. She did this when she knew that
Monte was hundreds of miles away She
did this in face of the fact that, if his COM
ing depended upon her consent, she would
have withheld that consent. If in truth
he had suddenly appeared, she would have
fled in terror. He must not come; he
should not come-but, oh God, if he
would come!
Sometimes this thought held her for
moment before she realized it. Then for
a space the sun appeared in the blue sky
and the birds set up such singing as
Marie had never heard in all her life.
Perhaps for step or two she saw him
striding toward her with his face aglow,
his clear blue eyes smiling, his tender
man-mouth open to greet her. So her
heart leaped to her throat and her arms
trembled. Then-the fall into the abyss
as she caught herself. Then her head
dropping upon her arm and the racking
dry sobs.
How she did care! 1t was as if every-
thing she had ever hungered for in
the past-all her beautiful, timid girlhood
dreams; all that good part of her later
hunger for freedom; all of to-day and all
that was worth while of the days to come
had been gathered together, like jewels in
a single jewel casket, and handed over to
him. He had them all. None had been
left her. She had none left.
She had always known that if ever she
Evening star., 1916-11-26

loved it was so she must love. Ii was this
she had feared. She had known that if
she gave at all she must give utterly-all
that she ever had or hoped to have Sud-
denly she recalled Mrs. Chic. 1t was with
a new emotion. The latter had always
been to her the symbol of complete self
sacrifice. 1t centered around the night
Chic, Jr, was born. That night she had
been paler than Mrs. Chic herself; she
had whimpered more than Mrs. Chic
Outside, waiting, she had feared more
than the wife within who was wrestling
with death for new life. She had sat
alone, with her hands over her ears, in an
agony of fear and horror. She had mar
veled that any woman would consent to
face such a crisis. 1t had seemed wrong
that love-an affair of orange blossoms
and music and laughter-should lead to
that. Wide-eyed, she had sobbed in
terror until it was over. 1t was with awe
and wonder that a few days later she had
seen Mrs. Chic lying in her big white bed
so crooningly happy and jubilant.
Now she understood. The fear and
horror had vanished. Had she been in
the next room to-day, her heart would
have leaped with JOY in tune with her who
was fighting her grim fight. Because the
aches and the pains are but an incident
of preparation. Not only that, but one
can so love that pain, physical pain may
in the end be the only means for an ade-
quate expression of that love. The two
may be one, so blended as to lead i'm the
end, to perfect joy. Even mental pains
such as she herself now suffered can do
that. For all she was undergoing she
would not have given up one second to
be back again where she was month
before.
SOMETHING comes with love. 1t is
that more than love itself which is the
greatest thing in the world. Sitting by
her window, watching the shadows pass,
Marjory was sensing this. The know
ledge was coming slowly, imperceptbly;
but it was bringing her strength. 1t was
steadying her nerves. 1t was preparing
her for the supreme test.
Because that very day, toward sunset
time, as she still sat by her window, she
saw shadow that looked like Monte.
She smiled little, because she knew it
would soon dissolve. Rapidly the shadow
strobe along the quay until opposite the
hotel. Then, instead of vanishing it came
on-straight toward her. She sprang to
her feet, leaning back against the wall,
not daring to look again. So she stood,
counting her heart-beats for she was still
certain that when hundred or so of them
had passed the illusion also would have
faded.
To be continued nert areek

PETER j. MOVES.
WITH the departure of Peter and his
w sister-Peter had made his leave
taking easy by securing an earlier train
than she expected and sending her a
brief note of farewell-Marjory found
herself near that ideal state of perfect
freedom she had craved. There was now
no outside influence to check her move
ments. If she remained where she was,
there was no one to interrupt her in the
solitary pursuit of her own pleasure.
Safe from any possibility of intrusion, she
was at liberty to remain in the seclusion
of her room; but, if she preferred, she
could walk the quay without the slight
est prospect in the world of being forced
to recognize the friendly greeting of any
one.
Peter was gone; Beatrice was gone;
and Monte was gone. There was no one
else-unless by some chance poor Teddy
Hamilton should turn up, which was SO
unlikely that she did not even consider
it. Yet there We're moments when, if she
had met Teddy, she would have smiled a
welcome. She wou.u not have feared him.
There was only one person in the world
now of whom she stood in fear and he
was somewhere along the English coast,
playing poor game of golf.
She was free beyond her most extrava-
giant dreams-absolutely free. She was
so free that it seemed aimless to rise in
the morning, because there was nothing
awaiting her attention. She was so free
that there was no object in breakfasting,
because there was no obligation demand
ing her strength. She was so free that
whether she should go out or remain in
doors depended merely upon the whim of
the moment. There was for her nothing
either without or within.
FOR the first twenty-four hours she sat
in a sort of stupor. Marie became
anxious.
MADAME is not well?" she asked
Perfectly WELL" answered Marjory
duly.
"Madame's cheeks are very white'
Marie ventured further.
Madame shrugged her shoulders.
as there any harm in that?" she de-
manded.
at is such beautiful day to walk"
suggested Marie.
Marjory turned slowly.
what do you mean by beautiful"
"Ma foi, the sky is blue, the sun is
shining, the birds singing explained
Marie
"Do those things make beautiful
day."
what else madame?7 inquired the
maid, in astonishment.
Il do not know" sighed madame. "All
| know is that for me those things do not
count at all.
"Then," declared Marie, "it is time to
call DOCTOR"
"For what?"
"To make madame see the blue sky
again and hear the birds"
