Everyone, whether ailing, sick Oh

fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and

enjoying your breakfast the water and

volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing

The millions of people who are both

to him.
There is nothing which could be
traced as having once belonged to
Lincoln that Mr.. Oldroyd did not Sc
cure, if purchasable. And it is safe
to say that his collection is the most
remarkable of its kind in the world,
for it is the work of more than fifty
years of mans life, devoted almost
solely to this one object.
While the building belongs to the
government the collection is still
owned by Mr.. Oldroyd, to whom the
writer is indebted for the illustrations

1--WE are met on a great battle
field of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field as a
final resting place for those who here
gave their lives that that nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and prop
er that we should do this. But, in a
larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we
cannot ccnsecrate-we cannot hallow
this ground.
1.-The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here have consecrated
it far above our poor power to add or
detract.
THE world will little note, nor
long remember, what we say here; but
it can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for us, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here
have thus SO far nobly advanced.
lit is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before US, that from these honored
dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the
last full measure Of devotion; that we

John Hay Tells of Trip to Gettys-
burg, Where immortal Ad-
dress Was Made.
MONG the interesting passages

"a
~ in John Hays war time diary
"A printed in Harper's Magazine,
is Hays vivid account Of the
presidents visit to Gettysburg and
the delivery of the famous Gettysburg
address.
con our train were the president,
Seward, Usher and Blair; Nicolay and
myself; MERCER and Admiral Ray
maud; Bertinatti and Captain Isola,
and Lieutenant Martinez; Cora and
Mrs. Wise; Wayne MacVeagh; Nc
Deugal of Canada, and one or two
others. We had a pleasant sort of a
trip. At Baltimore Schenck's staff
joined US.
cat Gettysburg the president went
to Mr.. Wills, who expected him, and
our party broke like a drop of quick
silver spilled. MacVeagh, young Stan
ton and foraged around for a while
walked out to the college, got chat
ing dish of oysters, then some supper,
and, finally, loafng around to the
court house, where Lamon was hold
ing a meeting of marshals, we found
Forney, and went around to his place,
Mr.. Fahnestock's, and drank a little
whisky with him. He had been drink
ing a good deal during the day and
was getting to feel little ugly and
dangerous.
"'We went out after while, fol-
lowing the music to hear the sere-
nades. The president appeared at the
door, said half a dozen words mean
ing nothing, and went in. Seward,
who was staying around the corner at
Harper's, was called out, and spoke
so indistinctly that / did not hear a
word of what he was saying. FCrney
and MacVeagh were still growing
about Blair. We went back to For
ney's room, having picked up Nicolay,
and drank more whisky. Nicolay sang
his little song of the Three Thieves"
and we then sang John Brown" At
last we proposed that Forney should
make a speech, and two or three start
ed out to get band to sere-
made him. I stayed with him; so did
Stanton and MacVeagh. He still
growled, quietly, and l thought he
was going to do something imprudent.'
Then follows an account of the
serenade and of the bibulous Forneys
speech, in which in tipsy fashion he
mingled drollery and gravity. Quite
Shakespearean in this low-comedy in
terlude, coming just before the state
ly scene of conservation.
"In the morning (of the 10th, Hay
continues) got beast and rode out
with the president and suite to the
cemetery in the procession. The pro-
cession formed itself in an orphanly
sort of way and moved out with very
little help from anybody; and after a
little delay Mr.. Everett took his place
on the stand, and Mr.. Stockton made
a prayer which thought it was an
grafton; and Mr.. Everett spoke as he
always does, perfectly; and the presi-
dent, in a firm, free way, with more
grace than is his wont, said his half
dozen lines of conservation:
"'"Four score and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth on this con-
tinent new nation, conceived in lib
erty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.

Crazy Deer Attacks TWO.

Roseburg, Ore. While working
about his ranch at Rice Hill, Isadore
Rice, an aged resident of that vicinity,
was attacked by an Infatuated deer.
Mr.. Rice was knocked to the ground,
and only escaped when the animal was
beaten into submission by his son. A
few days previously the deer attacked
Mr.. Rice's daughter, but she escaped
without serious injury. Mr.. Rice was

Soon after the outbreak OF the war
