not among dreams.
Very well.
Let US stick to stubborn, hard, tough

And let us ask; CD Did you ever try
The ideal life? Did you ever honestly,
for fair space of time, long enough to
get results test the plan of absolute in

principle Of the Beautitudes?
Answer The most Of you have not
You simply THINK it won't work. You
BELIEVE that you would be imposed

who are the theorist

people don't know whether living the
higher, finer, ideal life will work or not.
They never tried it.

you have met any?
And if you have studied their cases.

Did il never occur to you, being a
practical soul, that all this commonly
accepted talk Of "be good and you'll be
lonesome and the Ten Commandments
and the Sermon on the Mount are rides
cent dreams" is sheer dogmatism, pure
speculation and rests on no facts what
ever?
And what facts you do use are iso-

others have made here and there, and
not any settled habit of life

Took Part in Campaig n
Against Black
Hawk

Abraham Lincoln, whose coming
birthday will be celebrated by his coun-
trymen as a national holiday, was in
Wisconsin twice during his natural life.
He took part in the memorable cam
paign against the maurauding cheiftain
Black Hawk in 1882, when he and his
company of militia moved up the Rock
River Valley as far as Lake Koshko-
nong. He never caught sight of the
Indians at that time, and later in his
life iocularly described the entire affair
as farce.
In 1859 when Lincoln was already a
nation Al figure by reason of his debates
with Douglas he was invited to speak
at the Wisconsin State Fair in MilwaU-
kee. On this occasion he rightly avoid
ed the subject of slavery. but in an in
formal talk which he delivered in the
evening in the old Newhall house he
spoke upon the subject nearest his
heart, "The Irrepressible Conflict un-
fortunately no record of this talk, in
which he deeply stirred his hearers, was
made.
From Milwaukee Lincoln went on tc
Beloit and GAINESVILLE, speaking to eager
