Senting Lincoln as a boy in rough and
rural dress, reading from a book.
There are innumerabe busts of Lin
coin, some of them made from casts
during life. One of the most famous
of these busts, however, is by wOm-
An who had never seen the original. 1t
is the work of Mrs. Emma Cadwalader
Guild. She had fashioned the heads
Of kings and queens in Europe, but
her most ambitious work was of him
whom she had come TO reverence as
the savior of her own country.
Art has not fashioned al the monu-
ments to Abraham Lincoln. At the
Cumberland Gap, in the Tennessee
mountains, is the Lincoln Memorial
university, erected by Gen. o. O. How
ard. It was designed to educate the
roountaineers, whom Lincoln so loved.
Near Leadville, Colo. is a tall peak,
ever $4,000 feet above the level of the
sea, named Mount Lincoln. Through
out the West are many counties and
towns named for the emancipation.
Perhaps the most famous and en-
during monument erected by human
hands to the memory of the war pres
dent, however. is the capital of Ne
braska, Lincoln, one of the beautiful
and growing cities of the great West.

OF THE EPIPHANY

Fair Eastern Star, thou art ordained to
run
Before the sages, to the rising sun,
Here cease thy course, and wonder that
the cloud
Of this poor stable can thy MAKER
shroud;
Ye heavenly bodies glory to be bright,
And are esteemed as We are rich In nght.
But here on earth is taught different
way,
Since under this low roof the Highest lay.
Jerusalem erects her stately towers,
DISPLAYS her windows and adorns her
bowers;
Yet there thou must not cast trembling
spark,
Let Herod's palace still continue dark;
Each school and synagogue thy force re-
pels,
There Pride enthroned in misty error
dwells;
The temple, where the priests malntaln
their choir,
Shall taste no beam of thy celestial fire.
While this weak cottage all thy splendor
takes;
A joyful gate of every chink it makes.
Here shines no golden roof, no ivory stair,
No king exalted in a stately chair
Grit with attendants, or by heralds styled,
But straw and hay enwrap a speeches.
Child.
Yet Sabaes lords before this Babe unfold
Their treasures, offering incense, myrrh
and gold.
The crib becomes an altar; therefore dies
No OK nor sheep for in their fodder lies
The Prince of Peace, who, thankful Tor
his bed,
Destroys those rites in which their blood
was shed;
The quintessence of earth he takes, and
fees,
And precious gums distilled from weeping
trees:
Rich metals and sweet odors now declare
The glorious blessings which his laws
prepare,
To clear us from the base and loathsome
flood,
Of sense, and make us fit for angels food,
Who lift to God for us the holy smoke,
Of fervent prayers with which we him in
woke,
And try our actions in the searching frey
BY which the seraphims our lips inspire;
No muddy dross pure minerals shall in
feet
We shall exhale our vapors up direct;
No storms shall cross or glittering lights
deface
Perpetual signs which seek happy place

Big Jobs Are Filled by the
Men Who Produce the Results

Some men are cursed with the abili-
ty to do chores. They can do all the
little tinkering jobs well and can't get
busy with the big ones until all the
petty tasks receive attention. To be
sure the great man is master of details.
He will know every step in his bust
ness. But he will delegate to others
what belongs to their work. No man
can be the brains for the whole bust
ness. Neither can he be the handy
man for the concern and direct its
policy at the same time. If he is the
business is small. Where you find a
man who delights more in winding the
clock that he does in keeping his desk
clear you can mark him factotum and
recommend him to any one of thou
sand big firms that need handy man.
But that's as far as he will get. The
big places are filed by men who get
down to business.

Quicklime Recommended to
Keep Potatoes From Rotting
When Stored in Damp Places

The French department of agricul-
ture lately issued the following indi-
cations as to the best method Of pre-
serving potatoes against rotting, such
as is likely to occur in damp places.
BY employing the proper method, it
is possible to diminish the dampness
within the piles where the air does not
enter or only circulates very slowly.
To avoid this, a substance which alb
serbs water and having no action up
On the potato must be employed, and
for this purpose it is found that lime
is the best substance, as it costs least,
is easy to handle, and is best known.
In practice the method can be APP
piled in the following way. 1t is to be
remarked that when potatoes are
stored up after being we'll cleaned be-
forehand, they commence to exude
moisture, and must be gone over again.
The storage place is sprinkled with
quicklime, and each layer of three or
four inches of we'll dried potatoes is
sprinkled over with lime; the same
on the outside of the pile. When sort
ing as above Stated, the imperfect
ones need not be thrown away, but the
bad parts cut out and the rest fed to
stock after cooking or passing through
dryer or baking in furnace; or they
can be sent to a starch factory if one
is near by. AS to the amount of lime
to be used, the proper quantity is
about ten pounds of lime to 1000
pounds of potatoes.

Lake of Salt in Australia
Supplies an Immense Crop
Carts and Flows Are Used

In South Australia there is a won
derful lake of pure salt. It is a huge
depression in the earth which fills up
in the winter months. In the summer
the water quickly evaporates, leaving
a thick deposit of pure salt. Seen
from a distance the surface of the
lake has all the appearance of being
covered with a sheet of ice. The salt
is so thick that strong men and even
carts and plows can traverse it with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there is a considerable body of slug
gish water. After the rays of the sum-
mer sun have played their part, the
salt is gathered. This is a simple
operation, the salt being raked into
heaps, making pyramids that are
striking feature of the landscape. The
salt is then shoveled into carts and
conveyed to various works to undergo
the process of refining.
Gathering the salt is trying work on
account of the great heat and the daz-
zling reflection, and it is often neces-
sary for the workers to wear colOred
glasses to protect their eyes. After
the loose salt has been collected from
the surface a pillow is run over it,
when another harvest of the valuable
material can be reaped. The yield
of salt from this strange lake amounts
to several thousand tons a year, and
it is among the finest obtainable. The
lake is several square miles in area
and is naturally a very valuable

One Good Word for Him.

The Long Island aborigines made 1t
practice not to bury one of their
number until someone had spoken a
good word concerning the deceased,
One time a very bad old redskin went
the way of all flesh and the members
Of the tribe gathered to lay him away.
1t was silent ssemblage-not a
work was spoken to the credit of the
dead man. Lower and lower sank the
sun, and darkness was almost ready
TO descend, when one old buck
walked up to where the body lay and
succinctly remarked: "He was q devil
of a hand at skinning eels"-Or it's
equivalent in the Long Island Indian
language. That was considered suf1i-
cient to permit the burial to proceed.
and the bad old Indian was laid away
not wholly ''unwept, unhonored and
unsung."

Gold PIacers Throughout
Eastern Siberia Are Rich;
Can Be Worked With Ease

From time immemOrial Siberia has
been known to Russians as the Gold
en- Bottom" and this not without
reason.
The great gold placers scattered
throughout eastern Siberia tempted
and attracted enterprising individuals
for many centuries, through their rich
ness and the ease with which they
could be worked.
Only the severity of the climate
and lack of adequate transportation
together with Indifference on the part
of the government prevented the ST.
berian gold fields from becoming the
greatest in the world.
Alluvial gold was first found in the
Province of Eniseisk in 1880. After
wards gold was discovered in great
amounts throughout the whole prov
ince. The gold is found in many
cases in the sand of rivers and small
streams.
The geological formation of these
deposits varies, but in many cases
shows proclamation of slate rocks.
The thickness of gold-bearing strata
varies in places from IA feet to 81
feet, and their extent from five-tenths
to 80 miles.
The proportion of gold is also diff
ferent, according to the depth of the
deposit A thin layer of alluviumy
called turf" usually covers the gold
strata.

EmployiingDisabled
Soldiers
E.nglishmen Are Taking Their
Duty Seriously

Advertisements printed in the Lon
don papers by British business con
Germs frequently carry this line:
"We have put a disabled soldier on
our pay roll. Have your"
The extent to which the line is used
indicates that Englishmen are taking
their duty to employ injured British
soldiers very seriously. They are not
talking vaguely about the nations

debt to the men.
Every concern employing any con-
siderable number of men has places
that can be filled by partially disabled
men, and whenever such place is
filled the disabled soldier should have
the first chance.

Should Learn to Know Trees
When Without Their Leaves

No tree lover should be content to
know the trees only in summer The
summer trees may be more beautiful
than the bare trees of winter, but it is
the leafless tree that most clearly be-
trays the specific arbOreal characteris-
tic. Leaves are distinctive, but the
distinction is somewhat superficial, for
the leaves are no more than the sum-
mer dress. When the leaves are gone
the tree stands more truly disclosed.

Mothers Part in Warfare
Aqonies of Suspense Reflected ir
Face of Each One That Has Son
With Army.

The late Robert j. Burdette of the
Burlington Hawkeye, and of beloved
memory, was q soldier in the Civil war.
The following beautiful and touching
tribute to mothers of that period is
from his pen:
"When was there a generation since
boys were born that women did not go
to war? Never a bayonet lunged into
the breast of a soldier that it had not
already cooled it's wrath in the heart
of mother. While the soldier has
fought through one battle, the mother
has wandered over score of slaugh-
ter fields looking for his mangled body.
He sings and plays the rough game of
out-of- doors men in camp for a month
and then goes out to fight one little
skirmish. But every day and night
the mother has walked through
hundred alarms that never were.
She has watched on the lonely picket
post. She has passed the sentry seat
before his tent. She has prayed be-
side him while he slept. The throbs of
her heart have been the beads of her
rosary. What does a soldier know
about war? l went into the army a
light-hearted boy. / had the rollicking
time of my life, and l came home an
athlete. And my mOther-her brown
hair silvered with my soldering, held
me in her arms and counted the years

story after the war. she would pluck

Two Monuments in Capital.
In the city of Washington there are
two Lincoln monuments, besides a me-
mortal kept in the room in which he
died. This room, which is just Oppo-
site the old Ford's theater, contains
almost 800 portraits of the martyr
president, besides various interesting
mementos of his life and associations.
One of the monuments in the ma
tiOnal capital fronts the city. hall. 1t
is n fine marble shaft, surmOunted by
6 statue of the war president. 1t was
unveiled by President Johnson in 1868.
The other monument to the great
emancipation is located in Lincoln park,
Jn the other side of the city. 1t was
erected entirely oy the freedmen of
the country and the address at it's
unwilling was delivered by Frederick
Douglass. The pedestal is not high,
but the statue itself is notable. 1t
represents Lincoln standing with his
hand extended over the kneeling figure
of q negro with broken shackles.
At least two other Lincoln monu-
ments have been proposed at different
times for Washington, in the new and
beautified national capital that is to
beat least If our dreams come true
One of these was to consist of a me-
mortal bridge over the Potomac, a
magnificent portico of doric columns
and a splendid driveway along the
river. Another projected improve
ment was to be Lincoln gateway to
the new and larger capitol building,
for which so many plans have been
laid on paper.
