MORE MOLASSES, LESS MEAT
Foreman of Railroad Construction
Knew How to Feed Men to
the Best Advantage.

In the days of railroad construction
In the West the fOrcmen on the grade,
who knew thing or two about the
practical side of feeding men, were
wont to tell the cooks to "use plenty
Of mOlasses; 1t saves on the meat
bills" This homely principle Is now
recognized officially by the United
States department of agriculture in a
bulletin in which housewives are urged
to make free use of molasses and sir
ups In the family cooking. 1t Is as
serted that In ten-cent can Of mo-
lasses there are Sh times as much
heat and energy as In ten cents worth
Of fresh beef, . % as much as In ten
cents worth Of butter, 2A rs much as
In bacon costing the same, 10 1-3 times
as much as In ten cents worth Of eggs,
i've times as much as In ten cents
worth of ham, and nearly twice as
much as in an equivalent amount OF
cereal and cream. Sirups are not
urged as complete substitute, or as
n single article of diet. but as Il 'satis-
flying" article OF food and n producer
of energy, and as IA measure of keep
ing down the meat bills."-Portland

L|NCOLN-EVER KIND
Tenderness of Heart Evinced at
Times When He Was Under
the Greatest Stress.

T EFT me present another aspect OF
Lincolns many-sided charac-
ter. During the momentous
week when Grant was hammer
ing at the gates of the Confederate
capital, the president, feeling in every
fiber of his being that the end was
near. took passage for City Point, In
order that with his own eager eyes,
weary with long watching, he might
see the last act in the drama of war
and, I doubt not, that he might check
any overt and unseemly act, should
occasion require. writes Johnson Brig
ham. state librarian Of Iowa, in the
Youths Companion.
Late one afternoon, while he was
resting from his writing on the gun
boat River Queen, he observed several
little kittens, hardly able to stand,
blindly crawling about the floor. He

calls this in his book, Personal Recol-
lections of Abraham Lincoln
Mr.. Rankin was schoolboy who
acted as court messenger at Peters
burg, ILL.,, while his father was sheriff,
when he first met Mr.. Lincoln, then n
rising young lawyer. Later he was a
student in the Lincoln and Herndon
law office In Springfield, admitted to
the family circle.
The picture of Mary Todd which Mr..
Rankin draws Is charming one.
Though not beautiful, she was decided
ly pretty, he says, with clear blue eyes
which looked through one, and mo-
bile face which was responsive to her
every thought. She was easily the
belle of Springfield during her resi-
dence there with a married sister, her
own home being in Lexington, Ky. Her
family objected to Lincoln because of
his humble parentage and his poverty,
and their engagement was broken off,
but two years later Mary Todd defied
the family opposition and welded the
man of her choice.
Mrs. Lincoln was not only attractive,
but she was cultured, Mr.. Rankin says,
and throughout her married life, at
least until the tragedy of the assassi-
nation, she kept up her French read
ing and other literary pursuits. Hers
was keen political perception
amounting to almost provision, too,
and her advice was that most carefully
weighed by Lincoln in his political and
public affairs.
All the world knows that when LIN
coin received the news of his nomina-
ton he said: There is little woman
over on Eighth street who is deeply in
terested in this news; will carry 1t to
her." and he left his cheering, con-
graduating friends to hurry To his
home. Not so well known Is the fact
that the happiest person in Springfield
was Mrs. Lincoln. and that she never
closed her eyes that night, for fear
she would miss some of the towns JOY
over the honor done its brilliant son.
Mrs. Llncoln's terrible sorrow on
the death of the martyr drove her
abroad-"the loneliest OF all the wives
widowed by the Civil war"-and she
was allowed to spend the last years
OF her life "amld chilling neglect and
Misrepresentation" Mr.. Rankin says,
but he adds that when history shall
reflect the truth, in time to come II
IL is not already here, "she will be
awarded the recognition her merits
have always deserved. Till then she
can wait; for, like her husband, she
belongs TO the ages"

mother couldn't do"
AS have time and again recalled to
my mind that incidental use of the
word mother" have thought that at
that moment there must have come to
the president some recollection of the
delicate. hard-worked woman who had
toiled and struggled for her son, and
who yet I'm her poverty felt that she
could do so little for him. What the
word "mother" meant TO this man can
be inferred from his oft-quoted saying
TO a friend: "All that l am, or hope to

GEORGE STEPHENS MOTHER
DIES AT KANUGA LAKE HOME
Succumed to Complications Involving
Heart Trouble Native of GuilfOrd
County-FuneraI Saturday.

The community was shocked last
Friday morning to learn of the sudden
death of Mrs. L. H. Stephens which oc-
Cured at her home near Kanuga Lake.
Mrs. Stephens had been sick only three
weeks but during the past ten days had
shown such marked Improvement that
her early recovery was confidently ex-
pected The sudden change. resulting
fatally, was a surprise and shock to
her relatives and friends here.
Mrs. Stephens was born in Guilford
County. near Greensboro, January 2,
1S4S. In 1897 she came to Charlotte.
residing one year with her son,
George Stephens, and in 1898 moved
to Henderson County, in the Flat Rock
section, where she lived until her
death.
When in Charlotte her church MEM
bership was transferred from her old
home to Trinity Methodist church OF
that city wheretit remained.
There being no church of her faith
near her last home, her religious &C
tivities found expression in the work
of a neighboring church of another de-
nomination.
Surviving her are George Stephens.
an only child, and two brothers, Geo.
J. and J. o. Lambeth of Henderson
county. Two nfeces. Mrs F. K. Tom
linson of Fayetteville and Mrs. Theo-
dore Abbot OF Charlotte. and three
nephews, Walter and Charles Lambeth
of Charlotte, and Addison Lambeth OF
Atlanta, are others OF the near reia-
tiVes.
Since the marriage of her son, Geo.
stephens. to Miss Sophie Conyere
Myers of Charlotte in 1902 they have
spent each summer in the mountains
with Mrs. Stephens and her home has
not only been the mecca of her own
children and grandchildren. but also
a place where nephews and nieces and
others of the family frequently met to
hare her hospitality. Possessed of re-
markable health until her last illness.
and a lifelong fondness for Children
and young people, she remained youth
full in spirit even through her later
years.
Funeral services were held at the
home last Saturday and the body was
shipped to Greensboro for interment.
