The business of being woman would
be very simple, Nat Goodwin believes,
If we took tip from Mrs. Antedilu-
Wan Ancestor. That lady made the
family cave magnet. Within its
walls her master never knew boredom.
Few neighbors could coax him forth,
even for a game of skullbones. His
mate served him with beauty, wit, wis
dom, comfort and what not. Every
replica Of his image was trained to
add to the household interest. In
short, Mr. Ancestor had a home"
''That is all man wants today" Mr..
Goodwin says. ''That is what he means
when he clamors for the old-fashioned
woman
1T bores me to tears to talk Of mat
rimony," Mr.. Goodwin added.
my attitude is that of a confirmed
optimist. My own record proves that
hope conquers experience.
81 am very old-fashioned in my
ideas, if have any. l think woman
ought to do everything she can to
make herself beautiful and intelligent,
useful and interesting, and then make
herself subseryient to her home. That
is what my mother did. got both my
ideal and my optimism from her"

LlNcOLN's GOOD OLD FRIEND
Perfect Courtesy of Americas Great
SoA Shown in His Treatment of
"Aunt Sally"

After Lincoln's election to the presi-
dency an old woman, whom he called
"Aunt Sally" came from New Salem
to sag good-by to "Abe'' before he
went to Washington to be president"
The president was standing in
the room placed at his disposal in the
old state capitol talking with two
men of national renown when the old
woman entered, shy and embarrassed.
He saw her at once and walked across
the room to meet his old friend. TAX
ing both her hands in his, he led her
to the seat of honor and presented his
distinguished visitors to her, putting
her quite at ease by saying:
Gentlemen, this is good old friend
Of mine. She can make the best flap
jacks you ever tasted, for she has
baked them for me many time"

LOVED BY LINCOLN
Loss of One of Them in Early Youth
Cast Lifelong Shadow Across
His Heart.

There was a wild rose slip of girl
in q blue sunbonnet, with whom he
walked the lanes Of his homespun
days. There was a. clever, cultured
woman, whose brilliant intellect
lighted his ascending way in the Illi-
nois legislature. And there was the
belle Of the gay social set at Spring
field, who futtered across his pathway
as it led to Washington. One he
loved, and one he tried to, and one
he married These were the women
that he courted. They loved Lincoln.
To them the greatest American was
far nearer than lofty figure on a
high pedestal. They heard his heart
beat
These were the women that loved
Lincoln. One of them today lies near
the banks of the Sangamon where he
loved her. To the last there was with
him the long, long sorrow of her loss
that cast it's shadow across his heart
in youth. AS late as 1864 he pushed
aside state papers in the executive
mansion at Washington to talk of her
late in the night to friend who had
come from back home. One rests
peacefully in little cemetery at
Pleasant Ridge, Ill. The mother Of
five children, her tombstone reads:
''Mary Owens Vineyard" One lies
at his side in the great mausoleum in
Springfield, where the state keeps her

grant flowers. When an assassin's bull
let took his life, the American peo-
pie mourned great president. She

Gettysburg Speech
Called Marvel of
Poetic Splendor

lincoln's undyins Gettysburg address
has been put into the new poetic style
by DR.. Marion. Mills Miller. who finds
that 1.-THE speech is as perfect a poem
as ever was written. and even in the
minor qualities Of artistic language
rhythm and cadence. phonetic euphony.
rhetorical symbolism, and that subtle
Renaissance of great literary and
spiritual inheritance, the Bible. which
stands to us as Homer did to the
ancients-it excels the finest gem to be
found in poetic cabinets from the. Greek
anthology downward" Dr., Miller's in
teresting "poetic" presentation Of the
address follows:
Fourscore and seven years ago
Our fathers brought forth on this continent
A new nation,
Conceived In liberty,
And dedicated to the proposition
That all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in great civil war.
Testing whether that nation,
Or any nation so conceived and SO dedicated.
Can long endure.
We are met on great battlefield Of that war,
We have come to dedicate portion Of that
field
As final resting place
For those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper
That we should do this.
But, in a larger sense,
We can not dedicate
We can not consecrate--
We can not hallow-
This ground.
The brave men, living and dead.
Who struggled here
Have consecrated II far above our poor
power
To add or detract
The world will little note nor long remember
What we say here,
But it can never forget
What thsy did here.
II is for Us. the living, rather
To be dedicated here to the unfinished work
Which they who fought here have so nobly
advanced.
II is rather for Us to be here dedicated
To the great task remaining before US
That from these honored dead
We take increased devotion to that cause
For which they gave the last full measure
of devotion;
That we here highly resolve
That these dead shall not have died in vain;
That this nation, under God,
Shall have a new birth of freedom:
And that government of the people,
BY the people, and for the people
Shall not perish from the earth.

FASTENED TO INFORM WIFE

coins Form Of Telling HeIpmeet
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,
H., was thronged with eager neigh
bors and friends. Reports for 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. / gently touch
ed her shoulder and said, Nary She
made no answer. I spoke again lit
tie louder, saying, Mary! Mary! we
are elected!'"

LincoIn's Stories.

It seems probable that some Of Lin
coins stories, genuine though we may
believe them to be, were current before
his time; for instance, the one with
the Kentucky flavor referring to the
brand of whisky which General
Grants enemies protested he used
with too much freedom. Lincoln dis
claimed this story in my hearing,
stating that King George III. of Eng.
land was said to have remarked,
when he was told that General Wolfe,
then in command of the English army
in Canada, was mad, that he wished
Wolfe could bite some of his other
generals.-From Lincoln in the Tele-

Election Incident.

Lincoln was clever politician and
never hesitated when president to play
trumps in crisis.
Colonel A. X. Mcclure said that he
told Lincoln he couldn't carry Pennsyl-
vania in 1864 on the home vote unless
he furloughed 10000 Pennsylvania SOL
dfers and sent them back here to vote.
Lincoln hesitated only 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 SIP. To this
plurality was added some $4,000 as the
result of Pennsylvania soldiers voting
in the field.-Philadelp Ledger.

A Few Facts About Lincoln.

He knew the value of merry jest
and a hearty laugh.
He was simple in manner, dress and
bearing, but was big of heart and
brain.
He was too great nature to care
one way or another about his ances-
try. Tie living generation was Of vital
Importance to him.
He did not advocate war for his own
glorification, but to liberate human
beings from slavery. All men were his
brothers and his equals before his
Creator.
