The man fairly exhaled democracy

white man ne ever met who did not
show consciously or unconsciously that
he recognized his color.
Sympathy flowed in constant

heart. A mothers tears, a baby's cry,

sleeve never failed to move Lincoln,

brother, 'tyou have come here with ne

congress to speak in your cause; you

If don't pardon him."
Lincoln's office was almost his prison
cell through four terrible years. The
shouts OF his two little boys at play
always were Welcome notes Of 10y to
their care-weighted father He never
objected to their nOisily bursting in
upon him, and often he Joined the
children In their boisterous games In
the White House grounds.
In the dark days when the nation
itself was at deaths door, one Of the
boys died. For weeks the grieving
father strove in vain to win spirit of
resignation. dropping his work for a
day at a time and surrendering to his
sorrow. Doubtless the fOrtitude he
gained at last in that wrestle with
himself became part Of the heroic faith
which lifted him above the general
despair when the fortunes Of the
Union sank lowest.
After Willies death, the other boy
received double share Of paternal al
fection. Tad was in the habit of going

CRIED HIS LAST MESSAGE

Provincetown, Mass, July l.
Provincetown's town crier, said to be
the last of the profession in America,
has hung up his bell and announced
that he has cried his last message.
For % years Walter Smith has plod-
ded the two miles of the towns only
street, announcing the time and place
of events of interest, from samples
of fish to the election of president.
Now, in his 10th year, he says he is
through, and there is no one in sight
to succeed him.
The old crier's last cry was for the
reopening Of the Church of the Pill
grims founded in 1714 and which had
been closed for a year.

THE iron-throated cannon of the

the stiffness of a March dawn in 1854
with its 100 exultant roars over the

came at once Its leader in Illinois;
to his own surprise, the second man
in the balloting for it's candidate for
vice president in 1856, and its candi-
date for senator in 1853 against Ste
phen A. Douglas. the author of the re-
peal.
While Lincoln made ready for that
campaign, as always in every hour of
decision, he retired within himself. He
consulted no one and gave no hint Of
his line of attack until he called to-
gether dozen friends and read to
them his opening speech, which began
with those immortal words: "a house
divided against itself cannot stand. I
believe that this government cannot
endure permanently half slave and
half free 1t will become all
one thing or all the other"
Every man III the little group warn

Douglas carried a few more legisla-
tive districts and was reelected, but
Lincoln led I'm the aggregate popular
vote.
Lincoln had met his Bunker Hill.
The great unknown, who had dared to
cross swords with the foremost cham
pion Of the repeal, piqued the curios-
ity Of the country. Accepting an invi-
tation to speak In New York, his
Cooper union address established his
intellectual and moral right to lead
the nation.
Nevertheless, when jealous neigh
bors had first entered him as q candi-
date for president, he protested that
he was not fit for the place. Until the
convention Of 1850 actually met in Chi
cago, his name seldom was mentioned
for the honor outside his own state.
Two-thirds Of the delegates really ia
vored the nomination Of William III.

New York senator made him unavail.

THE stone walls Of the White
l. House no more shut Lincoln in
from his fellows, from their hopes
and sorrows and pride, than did the
unhewn logs behind which he shivered
in tho cabin home Of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was in a
crowd, when some one recognized him
as the president and exclaimed in
surprise: "He is very common look
Ing man." Whereupon he answered !:
Friend, the Lord prefers common
looking people. That is the reason he
makes so many of them"
Lincoln liked people, and he always
kept In touch with the mass. He did
not have to take the word Of peliti-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
AS he finished his daily wrestle with
senator's and the big-wigs, he plunged
with zest into what he called his pub
lie opinion bath" Seated in his chair,
with one leg thrown over its arm, he
received the motley crowd that poured
in through the wide open door Of his
office. Those who approached him In

IN THE DAYS NEWS.

The man who appears to hold the
fate of the Federal woman suffrage
amendment in his hands, at least so
far as its early adoption is concerned,
is Percival w. Clement, Governor of
Vermont. The suffrage leaders figure
that ratification by Vermont, with sim
liar action on the part of Washington
and Delaware which is erpected be-
fore the end of the month, would give
the htrity-six states necessary to adop-
ton. Up to date, however, the Cover
nor of Vermont has declined to call a
special session of the legislature for
this purpose. Governor Clement has
been active in Vermont business and
politics for nearly half a century.
Soon after his graduation from Trinity
College he entered business in his ma
tive city of Rutland and in the course
of time acquired extensive interests in
marble quarries, banks, railroads and
other business Enterprises, and also be-
came the owner of a newspaper. In
1892 he begin his political career as
member of the Vermont legislature.

NATURE MAKING GARDEN
SOIL THIS WINTER.

Winter SHOWS and hard freezing
weather, reported in many parts of the
United States this winter, are the best
agencies for getting garden soils in
condition, according TO UDSted States
Department of Agriculture specialists.
Soil is nothing more nor less than fine
ly divided rock with decayed vegetable
mates mixed with it. Exery time the
water freezes in the crevice of a rock
it makes the opening little wider I'M
til finally the rock is split into frag-
ments; more water gets into the open
ings in these fragments and freezes,
and so the work of reduction goes on
forever Every time the ground freezes
new soil is formed, but this new soil is
in need of manure or decaying vege-
table matter before 1t will hold water
in minute quantities and be in condi-
ton to produce crops.
Every time the soil is stirred in cul-
tivatng, the particles are ground to-
gether, and the rub or break off still
finer particles If the soil is too wet
when it is worked, the particles will
become cemented together and there
will be clods or lumpy soil. The little
ha'rlike roots of plants develop in the
spaces between the particles of soil
