ted States tipped his hat to

tied States tipped his hat to a negro when Secretary Seward chose not to see him also proves his Rt- titude toward those whom he might have held as is interiors.
 Lincoln was looked upon by for eign nations as the greatest Ameri- can. They love him and in one nation at least his birthday has been celebrated He was kind7heart ed and forgiVing.
 There were many desertions from the army, and military law required thaf, all deserters should be shot. But President Lincoln's big heart had pity for the young fellows, and he pardoned so many that the army officers were alarmed.
 "If man had more than one life," he said on one occasion, T think little shooting would not hur- this one; but aftre he is once dead We cannot bring him back, no matter how sorry we may be. So the boy must be Qardoned.'
 Many an instance of his kind heartedness has been told Once when he and some friends were out driving they saw a pig stuck fast in the mud with only his head out. The mud was almost hub-deep but Lincoln said to his friends that be must rescue the pig. His friends remonstrated but Lincoln fel- that it was worth his get ting spattered with mud.
 In Lincoln's Second Inaugural Ad dress he said, With malice to- ward none, with charity for all, let us strive to finish the work We are in," ''to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all na- tions.",
 Therefore 1t is but proper that as Lincoln was so great a man; somebody has called him "The First Great American," and as he is the embodiment of what this nation is and strives to be, it is but our duty to celebrate the day of his birth, and that all should know more about him.
 Lincoln's greatness and popular 5tv are increasing, threefore the en- thusiasp with which we observe the day should be an evidence of our greater patriotism.

PUT BRONZE TABLET
 IN LITTLE WHITE HOUSE.

Jaurez - A bronze tablet has just been placed in the wall of a little adobe house called by the NexieaDs "Casi1 Blanca - little white kouse - which was used as headquarters by Francisco l. Ma zdero during the battle of Jaurez in 1911, which brought about the over throw of the Diaz administration. The house stands on the pebbly road ;hat parallels the Rio Grande, and is the object of yearly pilgrim ages V Mexicans living here who formerly were members of the Ma dero faction.
 The house nestles in the shelter of the foothills and is only a short distance from the boundary monu- ,ment between the United States and Mexican territory. It was used by Madero when he arrived at the camp Of his followers above Jaurez. In April 1911, he there met the peace commissioners sent by Presi- dent Dtaz, and the first parleys wen held ia it's one room in an effort to bring peace between the contending factions. e.
 Tn the rear is a, small 'Iean-top wherein, during the peace confer ences 8 boy was born to the MeXi- can laborer's wife. He was given the name of Paz,. which means peace in Spanish.

NEW FIND IN TANANA VALLEH

Teddy Gleason and H. A. Bryant, two Urospectors, arrived in town yez terday afternoon from the scene Of the newest placer excitement iR the Tanana valley, the find made tR what is known as the Toklat couA- try, which is contiguous to the Kantisbna country. They state tAat they have nothing new to report ex- cent that pay prospects have beaz found there, although none of the prCspe ctors have reached bedrock. There gre but very few people there at the present time as the district is a hard one to reach. The scaRa Of the new find, which wsa first re- ported at Nenana by Fred Housel- man, who is said to have taken $1,- 900 iu gold out during the late fall is on Moose creek, which is about 125 miles from Nenana, ac- cording to the two recently arrived prospectorS.
 The shaft sunk by Houselman is reported to be about twenty-two fec deep. But, like Gleason and Grant and other prospectors, he did not find bedrock, according to the report. The shaft sunk by Gleason and Grant was put down only twelve feet, but they are ex- hibiting a few coarse colors, which they took out as indisQutable evil dence that there is gold there. They are of the opinion, however. that nothing has yet been found which would warrant a stampede. They had intended to freeze" the hole down through the thawed ground which underlies the surface and which prevents the sinking of shafts to bedrock by ordinary imeans, but their grub gave out and they had to come in for an out fit. They will start back with their outfits within the next day or two, |-ALaska Citizen.

BANKERS LIKELY
 ID ORGANIZE

A movement is on foot looking toward the organization of an AL askau Bankers Association. All of the institutions along the coast have been preached on the subject and are enthusiastically in favor of the idea. The matter will now be submitted to the interior banks and if agreeable to them perman- ens organization will immediately be effected.
 Ire following banks have signl- fled their desire to join such an or ganizat,on: Miners and Merchants, K ;chikan; First National and B. NJ. BenTends, Juneau; First Terri +oria! Douglas; Bank of Alaska, sk,gwav Wrangell and Anchorage; First Bank of Cordova; First Bank of Valdez; Seward Bank and Harri- man National, Seward; Bank of An chorage.
 The idea is to promote the gen e1al welfare and usefulness of the banks of the territory, and to se- cure uniformity Of action, together wi h the practical benefits to be de- riy d rom personal acquaintance and from the discussion of subjects of importance to the banking and commercial interests of Alaska; and specially in order to secure tn proper consideration of questions regarding the financial and commer ciaI usases, customs and laws which affect the banking interests, and for the protection against loss by crime.
 The need of some such protec- tive association is becoming more apparent each day to those inter ested, and as soon as the matter ha been laid before the First National and American banks, at Fairbanks, the Miners and Merchants bank at IditarC d, and the Alaska Banking & Safe Deposit Company and Miners and Merchants bank at Nome and they favor the plan an association will be formed.

Story Of The Baskets

Portia, becaus she was both rich and beautiful had many suitors, but the most important ones were. The Prince of Morocco, The Prince ot Arragon, and Bassanio.
 In her heart she favored Bassanc but her father before his death had had three caskets fashioned, one ot gold, enc of silver, and one of lead. The suitors were to Chosoe one ot the caskets and the one who chose the casket which contained her pie turn, should have her hand.
 The first suitor who came was tn Prince cf Morocco. He went in and read the inscriptions on the askets' The leaden one said, Who choos, eth me must give and hazard all he hath" The Prince decided not to hazard all for lead and picked III gold casket, "Whn Chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves" " He paused, thought awhile, and at last, still in doubt picked up the gold casket, "Wh chooSeth me shall gain what many men desire, That's the Lady!" he exclaimed ioyful!y." He opened the casket and found within a Deaths head, Grieved and sorrowful he departed to take up a lonely life for he had vowed never to wed if he failed in his Ques+.
 The next suitor to come was the Prince of Arragon. He read the inscriptions and de,ided that he wanted, not what the fool multi tude desired but what he deserved. He opened the silver casket and found the portrait of a blinking idiot" He left after, vowing anew that he would keep his oath and as he went a messenger arrived to say that a certain Lord Bassanio ha arrived at the palace.
 Portia begged Bassanio to wait awhile before he chose for she wish ed to enjoy his company. He said he could not endure the waiting an went in at once to choose.
 He scorned the gold casket for hu declared, "Tbe world is still deceived with ornament" He pass ed oyer the silver as "a pale and common druge" but risked his all on lead. He opened it and found, 'fFair Portia's counterfeit. He claimed her with a kiss and then thev discovered that Grationa, who ha" come with Bassanio had been improving the time by making love to Portia's maid, so there were tw weddings instead of one in Belmont
