calls this in his book, personal Recol-
lections of Abraham Lincoln
Mr.. Rankin was a schoolboy who
acted as court messenger at Peters
burg, ILL.,, while his father was sheriff,
when he first met Mr.. Lincoln, then a
rising young lawyer. Later he was u
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 a 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. Uer
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, toe.
and her advice was that most carefully
weighed by Lincoln in his political and
public affair
All the world knows that when Lin
coin received the news of his nomina-
ton he said: "There is a little woman
over on Eighth street who is deeply in
terested in this news; l 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. Lincoln's terrible sorrow on
| the death of the martyr drove her
abroad-"the loneliest of all the wives
widowed by the Civil war"-apd she
was allowed to spend the last years
of her life "amid chilling neglect and
Misrepresentation" Mr.. Rankin says
but he adds that when history shall
reflect the truth. in time to come II
it 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"

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. c. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer Of 1914 with
81 500 available cash In his possession
He rented a half-section Of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock

PRESIDENT Wilson's stand for a
more liberal policy in granting ex-
emptions to married men; particularly
for the first increment of the new
army, is correct in principle. While it
is true that married men should not
be exempted as a class, it is obvious
ly proper that single men should be
selected for service, unless they have
immediate relatives dependent upon
them or are needed in the support of
the war at home. The failure of con-
gress to make any special provision
for the families of married men
drafted into the army is another i'm
portant consideration to be taken in
to account in dealing with the sub
ject. After awhile, no doubt, if 1t be-
comes necessary to disregard the
question of dependency in calling for
men the government will make ar
rangements for supporting the famil-
les who otherwise would be left with
out support.

FISH GAMERS OPTIMISTIC

The improvement in the run of sal
mon, notable particularly in the ap,
pearance of humpbacks in large
schools, is occasion for rejoicing
among the Gamers, especially the
owners of the smaller plants. The
sockeye run has been far less than
that of 1913, according to the latest
estimates, the "humpies" are show
ing up in such numbers that there is
reason to believe the aggregate fish
pack for the season will return a good
margin of profit to the fish men.
The fish run this year has been
peculiar in many respects. The first
big squirt of sockeyes was followed a
few days later by what the Gamers
describe as a slump, and the run did
not again assume the proportions ex-
pected of q big year." The total
number of sockeyes taken from wat
ers of the Sound, however, probably
has been sufficient to cause most OF
the Gamers to break even on their
investment. The "humpies" like their
cousins" have been late in appear
ing, but are said to be running now
in great numbers and the Gamers are
not slow to take advantage of this
opportunity to cover on the Stacks
season.
The price of fish this summer has
been higher than ever before by from
200 to 500 per cent. This fact has
been due in part TO the scarcity of
fish and also to the general condi-
tions which have sent up the prices
of all foodstuffs. However, the price
of the canned products also will be
high this fall, consequently so far as
the industry is concerned the situa-
ton is not discouraging.
1t is encouraging to note that the
majority of the Gamers are now TAX
ing an optimistic view of the situa-
ton and there is reason to believe
that the majority of the Gamers

ue to be one of the chief sources
