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-weli
who somehow couldn't seem to gather
any of this worlds goods together His
mother was a patient, God-fearing toll
or who held no hope of reward in
mortal life. This mother encouraged
his efforts at learning when he was a
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 a 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, H., 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
CHASTITY 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
it brought down the victim it had
played with for half a century-A.

Lincoln from the White House on his
last birthday alive. 1t typifies the spir-

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.

fertile egg with a live germ in it has a

Feeding The Calf

There is no question confronting the
dairyman that is of greater import
ance than that of feeding the calves.
The way calf is fed largely i<
fiuences its growth and development.
1t determines what sort of cow the
young heifer will make. Calves should
be kept healthy and growing. Just as
soon as the mothers milk is good re-
move the calf and feed it from a
bucket. Experience teaches that the
earlier handled the easier they are
managed.
AS caf's stomach is small it must
be fed small quantities and fed often
for the first month or six weeks. About
ten or twelve pounds is about right for
q full days feed. This should be given
in three equal portions, morning, noon
and night. Extra care at this early
age surely pays.
After ten days or two weeks little
skim milk may be added, and the
amount gradually increased until the
calf is a month or six weeks old, when
it is getting only freshly skinned
milk. The temperature of the skim
milk should be the same as the new
milk, about 100 degrees.
Never allow the calf any milk but
what is sweet. One feeding of sour
milk will entirely upset a calf's diges-
ton. Neglected pals are often the
cause of sour milk. The calf's bucket
should receive the same attention as
the rest of the utensils.
Just as soon as it will take it the
calf should be taught to eat grain
meal. This can easily be done by plac-
ing handful in the pail after the calf
is through drinking Calves naturally
Ike to chew after they have finished
their milk, and in few days they will
look for their meal and will eat it if
placed in a box within reach.
Several feeds may be used with
good results as a supplement to the
skim milk. Equal parts by weight of
cornmeal, oats and wheat bran, to
which has been added one part of oil
meal, makes good dry feed for
young calves. After a few months
whole grains may be fed. Calves
should have access to roughage. If
corn fodder oat straw or timothy is
fed, oi!meal must be used. If alfalfa
or clover is fed, the olmeai can be
eliminated When the calves get to
be three months old, increase their
milk to twenty pounds per day, and
feed in two feeds.

Examine Eggs Twice In Hatching Period

All eggs that are incubating should
be examined twice during the Matching
period. The poultry husbandman of
the Clemson College recommends for
this purpose an egg tester that can be
made from an ordinary mailing tube
in the manner he describes. Prepare
a double thickness of heavy brown
paper four inches square. put one end
Of the mailing tube at the center of
the square of paper, and double the
edges of the paper over it, so as to
form paper cap. Fasten the cap
with three wrappings of cord, and cut
hole one inch in diameter in the top
Of the cap.
The free end of this tube is placed
at the eye. and the egg to be examin-
ed is pressed lengthwise against the
hole in the cap. Point the tester to-
ward the sun or bright light and you
will be able to see the contents of the

Why Prince Albert Wins

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and coolness and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
Eacco that they often marvel that this
one brand could be so different from
all others.
The answer to this question is to be
found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you will
read: Process Patented July 30th,
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by patented
process that cuts out the bite and
parch, which makes the tobacco so
mighty agreeable and satisfying to
men of every taste OF every civilized
nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and a for
tune in money to perfect. But the re-
suit has proven to be worth all that
was expended upon it, because it has
set free men who believed they never
could enjoy pipe or a makin's cigar
cite.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue. Prince Albert
cannot bite or parch. That is cut out
by the patented process, leaving for
the smoker only the joys of the frag-
rant ttoacco.
1t is fact that since Prince Albert
"arrived". just about six years ago,
1t has made three men smoke pipes
where one smoked a pipe beforel adv

Take your servant into your conf

Don't Insist on her working all the
time by finding something for her to
do when real work Is actually done.
Do not expect her to do two maids
work without extra pay for her added

When you give late parties at night
have that understood before you hire
her or otherwise arrange for this night
duty.
Don't begrudge your servant girl CIV
Ing her calling friends little harmless
refreshment now and then. 1t will help
make her feel 1t Is her home as we'll as
the two.
See that her sleeping quarters are not
merely a bed and four walls; remember
! this Is the place where she reflects on
her work. 1t will seem more joyous n
her own little corner Is a bit attractive.
Don't forget that young woman who
has beau cannot always meet him ION

to call has kept many n good servant

| Don't try to keep a girl from church
just because you happen not TO believe
| In her religion.
| A day off now and then besides her
| regular holiday has proved the pleasant
| surprise and made her do double work
| for the kindness.
Don't forget that your little chill
dren are as wearing on her as thoy arc

Don't make her life miserable II she
has broken a piece OF china. You might
have done IL yourself.
| And, above all, the best way to know
n you are treating her right is to put
yourself In her place.
