ARCADE TONIGHT

"Our little Indian scholar, Mari,
Tamosach, daughter of an 1ndial
chieftain, has won the highest hon
ors in scholarship this year in oul
school,"
About the time that Maria deter

thing she had learned in school, MOI

clared Dean to his father.
eff you do, I'll disinherit you,
roared Deans father angrily.
Thereupon the older Dean made
out two wills. Under the first will
the young man was to inherit only
his fathers poor Mexican mining
property. Under the second which
was to be kept secret for six months
after the older Deans death; Nor
ton was to inherit all of his fathers
wealth.
Suddenly, the older Dean died.
Morton, believing that his whole
fortune consisted only Of the small
Mexican mine, begged Dora to mar
ry him.
"No, I'll not marry you-you are
penniless," declared Dora, cruelty.
"Then I'm through with you for
everw cried Morton angrily.
In Mexico, Morton was attracted
by Maria and she, in turn, was fas-
cinated by the cultured Fastener.
But Sancho, a Mexican bad man,
who was infatuated with Maria, be-
came jealous of Morton's influence
over the girl and engaged him in
fight. Morton, though, was scrap
per and easily got the best of
Sancho.
''I'll get you yetw yelled Sancho,
as he rushed away.
"You must be careful of him."
Maria warned Morton.
When Morton left Maria, Sancho
and his gang followed the Easter
ner. In a fight Morton was desper-
ately wounded. Maria helped him
to her cabin. There, in her cabin,

while OH his way to the White House
seeking back pay and pension, had
met the president and had asked his
assistance, whereupon Mr.. Lincoln sat
down, looked over the soldiers pa
pers and advised him what to do. He
ended by giving him note directing
him to the proper place to secure at
tenton.
Driving up to a hospital one day, he
saw one Of the patients walking d.
rectly in the path Of his team. The
horses were checked none too soo,'.
Then Mr.. Lincoln saw that he was
nothing but COY and had been
wounded in both eyea. He got out Of
the carriage and questioned the poor
fellow, asking him his name, his serv-
ice and his residence. II am Abraham
Lincoln" he said upon leaving, and
the sighHess face lighted at the presi-
dents words Of sympathy. The fol-
lowing day the chief Of the hospital
delivered to the boy com.i,ssion in
the army of the United States as first
lieutenant. The papers bore the presi-
dents signature and were accompanied
by an order retiring him on three
quarters pay fer the years Of helpless
ness that lay before him.
Some of my generals complain that
impair discipline in the army by my
pardons and respites," Lincoln once
said. But it rests me after hard
days work If l can find some excuse
for saving mans life, and / 60 to
bed happy as l think how joyous the
signing of my name will make him and
his family and his friends
Ieonce heard Mr.. Lincoln telling a
number Of congressman In the ante
room of the White House that In the
distribution of patronage care should
he taken of the disabled soldiers and
the widows and orphans Of deceased
soldiers. and these views were subse-
quently conveyed to the senate In q
message which contained the follow
Ing language:
Yesterday little Endorsement of
mine went to you in two cases of post
masterships sought for widows whose
husbands have fallen In battles Of the
war. These cases occurring on the
same day brought me to reflect more
attentively than l had before as to
what is fairly due in the dispensing
Of patronage to the men who by fight
ing our battles bear the chief burden
Of saving our country. My conclusion
is that, other claims and qualifications
being equal they have the better right.
and this is especially applicable to the
disabled soldier and the deceased sol
dier's family"
