the Good News.

Perhaps one Of the most character
istic of the Lincoln anecdotes may be
revived with timeliness. On the night
of his first election the little frame"
home of the Lincolns in Springfield,
ILL.,, was thronged with eager neigh
bors and friends. Reports for a while
came in early and favorably. Then
they were less promising. The crowd
dwindled. Then came the news that
Lincoln had carried the country. The
rest of the story will better be told
by that great man himself. ''When
there was no longer any doubt, or
reason for doubt" he related after
ward, II went up to my bedroom and
found my wife asleep. 1 gently touch

made no answer. I spoke again lit

Criticisms Answered.

Washington.-What the American
Red Cross has done with the vast sums
of money entrusted to it by the people
of the United States is stated i'm de-
tail in report just issued by the ma
uonal headquarters. To date, $79.-
45O,12T.35 has been appropriated for
relief work in this country and
abroad.
For foreign relief $44,657, 795 has
been appropriated as follows: France,
$3O,519,25960; Belgium, $1,999 631
Russia, $751, 940.S7 Roumania, $2,617,-
39S.T6; Italy, $3,146.O16; Serbia, $751;
1SO.76; Great Britain S1,703, 642; other
foreign countries, $2,636,3O0; Ameri-
can soldiers who may be taken pris-
oner, $34362T.
The foregoing appropriations are
from the time the United States en-
tered the war until April 80, 1918. For
the United States the Red Cross has
appropriated $2,612 $50 go and the rea-
son this sum is not larger is because
the government provides nearly every
thing our army and navy needs, and
besides, there is no civilian distress in
this country of any considerable pro-
portions.
The great variety the military and
civilian relief work being done by the
Red Cross is indicated briefly in the
following list: Canteens that afford
rood, baths and sleeping quarters for
men at the front; rest stations and
recreation centerS for soldiers in tram
sit and at port of arrival in France
care of destitute children; furnishing
supplies to 1000 hospitals; teaching
mutilated soldiers new trades; recon-
struction of villages; bringing together
families of soldiers scattered by the
war; farms for convalescent soldiers;
sanitariums for tubercular and other
patients; food, clothing, medicine, and
shelter for the homeless and destitute !;
and other activities too numerous TO
mention.
1t is stated by the national war coun-
ell that all salaries and administrative
expenses are paid out of membership
dues, so that every penny given to the
Red Cross war fund has been spent
for relief. This answers the rumors
that have been circulated about the
expenses of operation.
| Out of 255 executives in the fourteen
divisional offices of the Red Cross in
the United States, 50 per cent are
women. The policy is to select the
most competent person regardless of
politics. sex or religion.

Election Incident.

Lincoln was a clever politician and
never hesitated when president to play
trumps In a crisis.
Colonel A. X. Mcclure said that he
told Lincoln he couldn't carry Pennsyl-
vaaia In 1884 on the home vote unless
he furioughed 10000 Pennsylvania SOL
dlers and sent them back here to vote.
Lincoln hesitated only a moment and
then requested both Meade and Sher-
idan to send 5000 troops into Pennsyl-
vania for the election, which was done.
McClure's prediction was evidently
correct, as Lincoln. even with the
10000 troops voting here, carried
Pennsylvania by only DIP. To this
plurality was added some $4,000 as the
result Of Pennsylvania soldiers voting
In the field.-Philadelph Ledger.
