LlNcOLN'S GOOD OLD FRIEND
Perfect Courtesy Of Americas Great
Son 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 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 say 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 a good old friend
of mine. She can make the best flap
jacks you eve tasted, for she has
baked them for me many a time"

Gettysburg speech
Called Marvel of
Poetic Splendor

Ltncoln's undying Gettysburg address
has been put into the new poetic style
by DR.. Marion Mills Miller. who finds
that 1.-THE speech Is as perfect q 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 a 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:
Eoursccye and seven years ago
Our fathers brought forth IN this continent
A new nation,
Conceived in liberty,
And dedicated to the proposition
That all men are created equal.
Now We are engaged in a great civil war.
Testing whether that nation.
Or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,
Can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield Of that war.
We have come to dedicate q portion Of that
field
As . final resting place
For those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
I Is altogether fitting and proper
That we should do this.
But, in a larger sense.
We can not dedicate
We car not consecrate-
We can not hallow--
This ground.
The brave men. living and dead.
Who struggled here
Have consecrated il far above our poor
power
To add or detract
The world will little note nor long remember
What we say here.
But II can 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 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 his 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.

A Few Facts About Lincoln.

He knew the value of a merry jest
and q hearty laugh.
He was simple In manner. dress and
bearing, but was big Of heart and
brain.
He was too great a nature to care
one way o. another about his ances-
try. The living generation was Of vital
Importance to him.
He did not advocate war for his own
g~lorlfc8tion. but to liberate human
beings from slavery. All men were his
brothers and his equals before his
Creator.

MEN LEAVE THIS
AFTERNOON FOR
SOUTHERN CAMP
Limited Service Men VIII Entrain
This Afternoon for Georgia TO
Take Up Special Work For
the Government.

Under a special call for limited SER
vice men which was received several
days ago by the Mason County Ex-
emption Board, four Mason county
men will leave this afternoon for
Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ca, to enter
upon special work for which they are
especially fitted.
These men were called several
days ago for entrainment on Wednes-
day but there was a contradiction of
orders. The telegram ordering the
men out ordered them entrained on
Wednesday but the bulletin from the
headquarters of Major Rhodes, chief
of the Selective Service in the state,
ordered them entrained on Friday.
The men were on hand Wednesday
but they were dismissed until today.
The men will leave here on c. G o.
train Number Three The list of men
going in the call was publicly an
nounced last night but early yester-
day all of the men were advised by
the members of the local board so
that they would have plenty of time
to make preparations for the trip to
camp. This is the first squad Of Lin
tied Service men to be sent out of
Mason county.
