SENATE is "LOADED"
Work Must Be Speeded Up If 1t Is All
Disposed OF.

There are 1SS bills on the senate
calendar under the head of genera!
orders and according to the present
schedule it would take nineteen Jays
to work that number of bills thru me
committee of the whole. Besides,
dozens of measures are being dumped
upon the senate daily by the standing
committees.
- The appropriation bills are not yet
in and it will take at least three or
four days to take care of them Il
there is any opposition at all. There
are four or five special orders on the
calendar. any one of which should
take at least half day for considera-
ton. The senate will appoint a COM
mittee or the revision of the calendar
within a few days and that will relieve
the situation. Senators will then be
forced to submit scores of their pet
measures to major operations by the
committee. From a senatorial prospect
an early adjournment is not promis-
ing, unless the legislature simply
quits.

calls this in his book, Personal Recol-
lections of Abraham Lincoln"
Mr.. Rankin was schoolboy who
acted as court messenger at Peters
burg, H., while his father was sheriff,
when he first met Mr.. Lincoln, then a
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 a charming one.
Though not beautiful, che 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. 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 a 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
colH received the news of his nomina-
ton he said: "There is q little woman
over on Eighth street who is deeply in
in this news will carry it to
her," and he left his cheering, con-
graduating friends to hurry to his |
home. Not so well known is the fact |
hat the happiest person in Springfield |
was Mrs Lincoln, and that she never |
.1osed her eyes that night, for fear |
she would miss some of the towns joy |
over the honor done its brilliant son.
Mrs. Lineoluis terrible sorrow on
he death of the martyr drove her

100 Years Old

THE kidneys play most important
part in causing premature I'D age anc
death-the more injurious the poisont
passing thru the Moneys the sooner
comes decay"-so says a distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water loes sugar.
Discovered by DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
sipping cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little A.luric
before meals and live to be hundred.

LINCOLN EVER KIND
Tenderness of Heart EYinced 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, 1 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 gum
boat River Queen, he observed several
little kittens, hardly able to stand,
blindly crawling about the floor. He
