LINCoLN's GOOD OLD FRIEND
Perfect Courtesy Of Americas Great
Son Shown in His Treatment of
"Aunt Sally"

After Lincoln's election to the presl
dency an old woman, whom he called
AUNT Sally" came from New Salem
to say good-by to "Abe" before he
"went to Washington to be president.
The president-elect 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 ha:
baked them for me many time"

parting, mother or son.
Allan enlisted in time to take part
in one of the last battles of the war.
He saw dark line Of blue on the edge
of wood behind earthworks. With
the Confederate line Of battle he
moved toward it. Suddenly storm
burst in his face. He felt himself
collapse and sank down on the ground.
His companions in arms went on,
but were soon driven back and over
him, leaving him there with stream
of blood flowing from his side.
Later he was picked up by federal
ambulance corps and placed on a
stretcher. He believed himself to be
dying, and, oh, how terrible not to
be able to bid his mother good-by

CARDINAL LUcoN DECORATED
FOR BRAVERY UNDER FIRE

The One Hundred and Fifty.second
line regiment, itself the first to re-
ceive the "fourragere" both in the COL
ors of the war cross and of the mill
tary medal, has just conferred a mill
tary medal "fourragere upon Cardinal
Lucon, archbishop of Rheims, in rec
ignition of his bravery in never quit
ting his post in his much bombed city,
says the Catholic Tribune"
In order to make the cardinal-arch-
bishop eligible for this distinction, the
regiment first appointed him its honor
airy chaplain, and later, when the
prelate was dining with the regiments
mess, the colonel presented the insig-
MIA, saying:
Soldiers on campaign have nothing
to offer. We should like, however, to
give you a souvenir of your visit to
the 'Fifteen-Two,' so offer what we
value most-the 'fourragere' of the
regiment"
The "fourragere' which the cardinal
will henceforth wear on ceremonious
occasions, is plated cord worn
around the shoulder like the aigul-
letes worn by American naval officers
in full dress.

LITTLE NORA SULLIVAN.

LITTLE NORA SULLIVAN.
Little Norry Sullivan, she's gone to
join the nuns;
Amt it strange, the convent often
gets the widest ones?
Maxim fun an frolick, you'll see thin
here today;
Look around tomorrow, an, bedad,
they're gone away!
Gone away from all the fun,
Gone away to be nun;
Faith, tits quare an strange it is,
achorra, as I say.
That's the kind that Norry was;
livelier never slept;
Do you mind how fast she ran, how
fearlessly she lept?
Everything her brothers did, twas she
could do the same;
CAS- for quiet Kelvin, sure she put the
lad to shame.)
Out she'd be from morn till night,
Playin' ball was her delight,
Norry's side was sure to win whin she
was in the game.
Man alive, but twas herself was Just
the merr1eSt lass,
Hardly could keep still while Father
Toole was sayin' Mass;
Thryin' hard to hold her eyes upon
her little book,
But the open window oft would lure
her longin' look.
Then you knew her mind has slipt
From her prayerbook an had skipt
Out among the meadows in the softly
growing grass
Sure, it seems like yesterday I saw
her up an down,
Runnin' like a redshank through the
streets o. Carrick town;
Double-knockin' peoples doors an
pullin' peoples bells,
Maxim people nervous with her
screeches and her yells.
But she's all grown up today,
An she's left an gone away,
Gone to be Sister in the convent
down at Kells.

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

When the great struggle between
the Northern and Southern states
came on Allan Fitz Hugh, twelve
years old, was at school in Virginia.
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 a 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
to her son, and the matter was COM
promised between them in this wise:
IF the war was not over in another
year Allan was to enlist with his moth
er's consent. Many boys Of his age,
, both in the North and in the South,
broke away from parental restraint
and enlisted without permission. Food
for powder was in demand, and the
recruiting officers often winked at the
fact that the recruits We're 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.
In the early spring of 1865 Allan
Fitz Hugh came to be sixteen years
of age, and his mother reluctantly con
sented to his doing his part to fill the
gaps in the Southern ranks made by
Northern missiles. When the time

A Few Facts About Lincoln.

He knew the value of merry Jest
and 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. The living generation was of vital
importance to him.
He did not advocate war for his own
giorification, but to liberate human
beings from slavery. All men were his
brothers and his equals before his
Creator. ...

ancients-it excels the finest gem to be

teresting "poetic" presentation Of tho
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
T. field
As final resting-place
For those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
Il ID altogether fitting and proper
That we should do this.
But, In q larger sense, 80,
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 II can never forget
What they did here.
II is for US, the living, rather
To be dedicated here to the unfinished work
Which they who fought here have 90 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 new birth Of freedom;
And that government of the people. J
BY the people, and for the people
Shall not perish from the earth.
