Fifty years and the most cruel. wrong
and misunderstood man of his day has be-
come the model of American manhood
And so 1t is in perfect harmony with this
hour and place, we pause long enough in
our devotion to lay a few flowers upon the
grave OF our greatest American living or
dead Sitting in his law office and prepar-
ing speech he wrote: eff slavery is right
and just God ruling in Heaven somebody
will be punished for upholding it, This
he read to his law partner who said: CT
would not say that Lincoln asked: els
it true?" ooh, yes,' was the reply, cit is
true, but it is not good policy to say it just
now" And honest old Abe answered: eff
it is true | will say it and stand by it,
In this office scene you have the measure
of the man, the secret of his life He held
with unfinching hand the helm that guided
the tempest-tOssed ship of state safely
through the seething surf Of civil war into
the smooth waters of peace and union.
He was as patient as destiny. He was
willing to await the verdict of future gen
erations He never raised hand but to
bess-never spoke a word to incite or in
flame. With the Union preserved, the coun-
try united he rode on the crest Of a peoples
love.

exceled by the peerless sentiment contained
in this noted paragraph: "With malice to-
wards none, with charity for all, with firm

are in. TO bind up the nations wounds,
that irresponsible between union and dis
union, between freedom and slavery has
been happily ended The echo of the shot
and shell fired at Fort Sumpter has died
away
The bell that once called the congregation
OF slaves to their scanty meals after their
days toll was over, has ceased to ring.
The fields that once reeked with the red
blood of the slain and slaughtered is now
fragrant with the blossoms of the cotton
plant And now is it not further true that

by him who was the most abused man Of
his age, one word hastily spoken frequently
is productive Of feeling Of bitterness be-
tween man and man, between sister and
brother, between partner and partner, that
finds it's balm Of cancellation only in the
sad silent grave

Dear Aunt Polly:
Why Is my favorite game, hide
and-seek? don't know myself.
Madeline B.
Dear Madeline:
Probably because you are after
someone. whose hiding place Is I'M
known. Anything that Is not known
is lots more fun than something
that you know. Then you have
to watch out every minute that
you are not caught, or. If you are
'.it." that no one gets ahead of
you. Then. too. there is plenty of
action In hide-and-seek, which
makes 1t more fun than lots Of
other games; and If you keep from
getting "it," the reason is probably
that your gray matter worked a
little quicker than his did. This.
too. makes the game more interest
ing to know that 1t is all with you
whether you win. or not. more so.
than q game, which. If you win,
you win because a lucky chance
just happened to come your way.

Dear Aunt Polly:
have q question to ask you
What's swifter than a bullet?
Dear Grace:
Although the speed of bullets
varies very much according to the
different kinds of bullets and the
different kinds OF explosives that
are used to shoot them. two things
are known to be swifter than even
the fastest bullets. One of these
is light. and the other Is electricity.
One astronomer who tested the
speed of light found that it travel
ed at the rate Of $4,000 miles per
second. Another man, who tested
the speed Of electricity. found that
an electric current went through
copper wire at the rate of 2SS. 900
miles per second. The speed Of
bullets Is measured by feet instead
of miles. A thirty caliber bullet
travels at rate of about $1,000
feet q second. An experiment that
will prove the speed Of light as
compared with that Of a bullet is
that Of watching gun fired from
. distance. The light, or sight Of
fash or smoke can be seen a long
time before the bullet reaches its
mark.
