LINCOLN F0RGAvE HIM.
One Man Who Got a Pardon Without
Even Asking For II.

One Man Who Got a Pardon Without
Even Asking For II.
Among the innumerable nufsances
and 4'cranks'' who called on Lincoln at
the White House were many who
sought to win favor by showing that
they had been the first to suggest his
nomination as president. One of these
men, says Francis F. Browne in 1.-THE
Everyday Life of Abraham Lincoln"
was the editor Of weekly paper pub
lished In a little village in Missouri.
He told the president that he was the
man who first suggested Lincoln's
name for the presidency and, pulling
from his pocket an old, worn, defaced
copy of his paper, exhibited to the pres
ident an item on the subject.
do you really think" said Lincoln,
that that was the cause Of my nomi-
nation?"
Certainly" said the editor. 1.-The
suggestion was so opportune that It
was at once taken up by other papers,
and you were nominated and elected"
"Ah, well,' said Lincoln with sigh,
Il am glad to see you and to know
that, but you viii have to excuse me.
am just going to the war department
to see Mr. Stanton"
We'll" said the editor, 81 viii walk
over with YOU"
The president, with that good nature
so characteristic of him, took up his
hat and said, ''Come alongl"
When they reached the door Of the
secretary's Office Mr.. Lincoln turned to
his companion and said, 81 shall have
to see Mr.. Stanton alone, and you must
excuse me-" And them taking him by
the hand, he continued: "Goodby. ]
hope you win feel perfectly easy about
having nominated me; don't be trou-
bled about it; forgive you"

How Indigo Is Produced.

A primitive but effective method of
obtaining indigo in southern India is
practiced by the natives. The plant
is tightly packed the day it is cut, In
a large vat, into which water is run,
and boards are then placed over the
top and are kept in position by heavy
crossbeams. The plant is allowed to
soak for ten or twelve hours, during
which time a heavy fermentation takes
place. The liquid is then drained OF
into another vat, after which coolies
beat and stir the soaked mass thor
oughly with fails until the dye begins
to emerge. The whole is then allowed
to settle. The clear liquid is drained
off, and the residue is boiled in copper
vessels. 1t is then pressed into hard
cakes ready for the market

SHE JUST GETS IT.

When . Woman Makes Up Her Mind
That She Wants a Thing.
The main difference between men
and women is nowhere so marked as
it is In the distinction between charac-
ter and ability.
A mans ability is entirely separate
from his character. A man may have
genius and no character at all. He
may have small abilities and large
character. In a man the two things ap-
pear to be entirely independent Of one
another.
But a womans character is deter
mined by her ability, and her ability Is
determined by her character. In real
ity, therefore, women are much more
simple than men. although they do not
appear to be so. Women are more
complicated outwardly than men. They
offer more superficial variety. But
closer observation and association
among them tend to make them more
alike.
Men, on the other hand, grow more
complicated as you come to know them
better. This Is because; their abilities
and characters being unrelated and the
proportionate measure of each subject
to variations, new combinations are
constantly being presented. The vari-
GUS things which go to make up the
motive power of woman, on the other
hand, are more closely related. Wom-
en-, therefore, concentrate more than
men, although they do not seem to do
so. the process being unconscious.
That explains why, If a woman
wants thing and man doesn't want
her to have it, she always gets it. When
man wants a thing he plans to get it
Just as much as he can through the or
Derby processes of his mind and will.
When woman wants a thing she
makes no plan at all-but she gets it
much more often than the man be-
cause everything In her whole make
up conscious and unconscious = Is
working for it.
If you want to see conservation Of
energy and the perfection Of efficiency
watch the working Of that perfectly
co-ordinated machine-a woman-get-
ting thing from a man that she
wants. A Corliss engine, In compari-
son, Is soap box on wheels.-T. l. NJ.

Aquatic animals. as a rule, dive into

backward and goes down so quietly
