The Comforter
BY F. A. mitchell
a Story Of President Lincoln
Founded on Fact

When the great struggle between
the Northern and Southern states
came on Allan Fltz Hugh, twelve
He was boy of delicate physique, but
was full of fire, and. hearing that
Abraham Lincoln was coming south
ward at the head of an armed force,
was much troubled because he was too
young to shoulder musket and re-
pei the invader. He found 1t difficult
during those exciting times to attend
to his studies, and had it not been for
the Influence of his mother, whom
he dearly loved, he could not have
been kept at school at all.
In those days the passion attending
war ran high on both sides. The
songs, the gibes, the speeches and
what was written concerning the great
struggle were very bitter and usually
far from the truth. In the North 1t
was "We'll hang JEFF Davis on sour
apple tree" and in the South Presi-
dent Lincoln was called "the baboon."
The Northern schoolboy conceived the
idea that President Davis was an ogre,
not realizing that he was an educated
gentleman, had commanded regiment
of United States troops in the war
with Mexico, had been United States
senator and secretary of war. The
Southern schoolboy considered Presi-
dent Lincoln wild man from the
Western woods who delighted in blood
shed. Children whose minds are not
developed must concentrate upon one
head in any movement In which they
are interested. So Allan's thoughts
dwelt upon Mr.. Lincoln, embodying
the great president with his idea of
the hated yankees"
When Allan was fifteen he begged
his mother to let him go to fight for
the Confederacy. Naturally she chung

both in the North and in the South,
broke away from parental restraint
and enlisted without permission. Food
for powder wns In demand, and the
recruiting officers often winked at the
fact that the recruits were under age.
But Allan was his mothers only child,
and. being of an extremely affection
ate disposition, the bond between them
was doubly strong.
So Allan continued at his studies,
though he read more about the battles
that were being fought than the sub
jects treated In his textbooks. He
lived in Richmond. and at one time
had listened to the roar of the cannon
during the seven days battles that had
been fought between Lee and McClel-
Ian. His admiration for soldiers wore
away some of his bitterness against
the federal generals, but President
Lincoln was still the embodiment of
his repugnance for the Northern peo-
pie. The two heads-Davis of the
Confederacy and Lincoln of the fed
eral Union--throughout the war con-
tinued to represent the bitter antag-
onism felt by either side.

Limit Removed
From Corn Bread

great many restaurants In Rich
mond which have been serving corn
bread and other breads containing no
wheat have inquired OF the local food
administrators why it was that they
were limited to serving four ounces
OF these breads. The rules, az first
published, put a four-ounce limit on
bread that contained less than one
third wheat. and a two-ounce limit
on bread that contained more than
one-third wheat. No mention was
made OF bread that contained no
wheat at all, therefore. the local food
administrator was compelled to rule
that this bread was included in the
four-ounce limit.
However, in a recent bulletin is
sued by the federal food administra-
tor, IL is expressly stated that corn
bread and other breads which contain
no wheat whatsoever may be served
without limit Therefore, restaurants
can serve as much corn bread to a
customer as he wishes. OF course, this
regulation only applies to corn bread
which contains no wheat flour. II
any wheat -four is used. no matter
how small quantity. the prescribed
limits must be observed.
