delicate and insidious, ana 1t is well

Republic puts it sharply away In
point of fact Mr.. Lincoln was super
ficially man of the people, and funda-
mentally unique, distinguished and
wholly exceptional individual In Ger.
tain salient respects he was the least
typical of Americans. Americans, par.
ticularly those OF Lincoln's own gener-
alton and neighborhood, were essen.
TALLY active, aggressive and objective
men, whose lives were given over to
practical external affairs. who sub
ordinated everything else to the de-
mands Of practical achievement, and
whose individuality consisted in living
ordinary lives in an extraordinarily
energetic manner. They were super
ficial, discursive. easy-going, quarrel
some, and wholly incapable of prepar
Ing in advance for any task or respon-
sibility, In all these respects Lincoln
differed from his fellow countrymen,
and upon these differences his emf
nence depends. He was not particu.
larry ambitious, aggressive or practi-
cal. In spite of his lively social feel
ings, he lived contemplative life, in
which the intellectual interest OBJ
tanned full expression and which at
tanned high degree of internal con-
centration. He fought hard and well,
but he never quarreled During his
formative years he quietly but unos
tentatiously prepared himself for great
enterprises. He trained his mind be-
cause he enjoyed hard intellectual ex.
ertion, His style shaped itself under
the influence of the Bible and Shake
speare, Thus at period and in a
country favorable to the cheap per-
Torrance and the easy victory, Mr..
Lincoln tempered his reason and his
spirit for great performance and a
costly victory. Was there anything
American about that?"

|O save Abraham Lincoln from
deathly apotheosis Of the steel
engraving has been laudable
effort of recent years. or course
it will not prevent the process of leg
end making which works upon the
earthly reality of every great man, and
in due time leaves MIN desiccated
abstraction existing for the heavy
boredom of childhood Even Lincoln,
with his vital, homely outlines, his
intimate, endearing faults, and strong
flavor of his day must come to this
turn. But the process may be retard-
ed and ought to be as long as we can
contrive.
One hundred and seven years ago
Lincoln was born. Fifty-one years ago
he was shot by John Wilkes Booth,
and on the next day he died, the first
"martyred president" A great wave
of passionate sorrow, gratitude and af-
lection swept the North. The process
of apotheosis began. Today 1t may be

LINCOLN

Out Of the shadows we see him rise
Face that is haunting and sorrowfu eyes.
Scared by his burden and bowed meath
its weight;
Slave to mission and shackled by fate.
Poor was the soil where his schooling be-
gan;
Rugged the boyhood that nodded the
man.
Prone with his book by the Pickering
blaze,
What saw he there in the hearth's rudy
blaze?
Slowly he rose while the Fates gave no

Fitting himself for that labor divine

The walls are made double. so that
the hogs will be protected from any
draft. This house is built with by g.
inch studding. which is fastened 10 the
foundation by studding sockets. The
outer side of the studding is covered
with drop siding. and on the inside
dressed and matched ceiling is used.
For the inside finishing wall. board
can also be used. Several of the
wall board concerns are making wall
board that is particularly suited to
this kind of work. Some of these
brands are disinfected. so that they
will be very satisfactory from sani-
tary standpoint.
The ceiling is made in the same way
except that the outside is covered
with sheathing, with shingles on top
of that.
Two rows of windows are placed
in the ceiling so that the sunshine
can penetrate into all corners of the
house. These windows are made with
a galvanized iron frame and are gen.
orally covered with heavy screen.
A good ventilating system is pro
vided. as it is very important that the
hogs have plenty Of fresh air. This
air must be obts ined without causing
a draft, as drafts are often fatal to
high-grade hogs.
