LINCOLN AND THE SLAVES
BY r. S. Alexander

"Old Abes looking mighty frisky
this morning." said Hunting Eyes
friend, the mayor, looking at the
statue of Lincoln in front of the
town hall. But he has right to
look that way; it's his birthday.
"yVho was Old Abe and what did
he do?" asked the boy from the
North Woods.
His real name was Abraham
Lincoln and he freed the slaves
Slaves! What are they?"
"They were persons who were
owned by other people. Long ago,
when two peoples or nations fought,
the members of the nation which
conquered took the men and women
of the other as slaves; that is,
they made thew their property and
forced them to work for them. The
white men who first came over the
Great Water made slaves Of many
of your people in this fashion.
Shortly after the white men be-
gan to come over the Great Water,
they commenced to bring with
them black men from Africa as
slaves. These black men were still
wild and uncivilized without i'm
proved methods of warfare. Thus
they were easy to capture. These
slaves were needed in the southern
part of the country to help grow
cotton. The industry Of the north
was so organized that it could not
use them. So they were sent most
ly to the south.
"Gradually people began to feel
that slavery was wrong. England,
one of the greatest of the nations
across the Big Water prohibited it
nearly one hundred years ago. The
people in the north of this country
wished at that time to follow Eng.
lands example. But the people in
the land of cotton, who had grown
up among the slaves and had been
trained by the conditions about
them to think that slavery was
right, did not wish to abolish it.
THE controversy over the ques'
ton became hotter and hotter until.
finally, it resulted in the great war
which we call the Civil War. Abra-
ham Lincoln was the leader of the
party which was opposed to slav-
cry. For four long years the con-

The Vain Turkey

There once lived a turkey on a
large farm which belonged to MIR.
Brown This turkey was very vain.
He always strutted around and
kept thinking how much better he
was than anyone else.
Mr.. Gobbier (for that was the
turkeys name) was strutting along
one day when cat came up to
him and said, "You had better
watch out, Mr. Gobbler, Mr.. Brown
is going to eat you for dinner to-
morrow; because you know that
tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day"
"Pooh," said Mr.. Gobbler, do
you think Mr. Brown could catch
me? He would have to run to the
other end of nowhere to catch me. "
"But he might shoot YOU" warn.
ed the cat.
"Why, he couldn't get near
enough to me to shoot me-" retort'
ed the turkey.
"Well, anyway. he will get you
tomorrow" said the cat, running
away.
ooh. that cat thinks he is SO
smart He is always telling me
that I'll be killed or something just
as bad thought the turkey as he
strutted along,
The next morning the turkey
was eating his breakfast. thinking
how he would run and hide SO that
Mr.. Brown wouldn't kill him. For
Mr.. Gobbler was a coward at heart
He was just finishing his breakfast
when someone grabbed him by the
neck. The next thing he knew
his head was lying on board.
Then down went the Ratchet, and
that was the end of Mr.. GObbler!
The only thing we know about him
is that many people were remark
ing how good Mr.. Gobbler tasted

fiict lasted. During the war, Lin
coin issued the famous Emanc:pa-
ton Proclamation which declared
that the slaves should be free. Un-
der his leadership, the north was
victorious"
But don't the people of the south
hate the north and Lincoln"
NO. this was like a quarrel be-
tween two brothers. No matter how
hard they may fight each other they
love each other just the same after
they get over their anger. Both
north and south now see that slav-
cry was wrong and are glad that it
was abolished. So both pay tribute

HOMES OF MUSKRATS
BY Adelia Belle Beard

He is very active just now, the
savage little muskrat-no sleeping
through the winter for him. The
only terror cold weather brings Is
the deadly trap which springs and
catches him without warning, Once
in its clutches, it Is all up with Mr..
Muskrat, because his warm, win
ter coat is coveted by humans who
dress and dye it and call 1t Hudson
Seal.
Many boys trap muskrats and
sell their skins; they do it near my
home. From the price they receive,
you would never think a Hudson
Seal coat would cost almost five
hundred dollars, but then 1t takes
a good many skins to make one
coat In spite the trappers, there
seems little danger that these small
animals will be exterminated, for,
like Molly Cottontail, Mrs. Muskrat
rears several large families in one
season and they grow up very fast.
Muskrats live in and near the wa
ter and they are very good swim
mers even under the ice. They
have two kinds of homes: burrows
and houses which closely resemble
those of the beaver. The burroW is
quite elaborate with numerous gal
leries, some leading to the several
rooms from under the water front
door and others extending inland
with back doors opening on dry
land When these burrows cave in,
they are liable to do some damage
to levees and dams as we'll as fields.
The house stands in shallow wa
ter and looks like a heap of drilted
sticks, marsh grass and reeds. New

According to a Massachusetts paper,
commenting on the interest shown in
the citizenship schools which are be-
ing conducted for women, ''It is gen.
orally confessed by men that they,
the men, have in large measure be-
come prone to let the government take
care of itself, to accept explanations
for failure to function as per oath OF
office, to complain little and then
to continue minding their own pri-
vate business. But the women are
apparently awakening to the funda
mental need, not of playing politics
but of taking part in government, and
this development is a progressive step
naturally following in the whole gen
eral movement toward a better appre
citation of citizenship obligations"

HALF BILLION SAVED.

Washington, Jus- Especial cor
respondence) THE Republican Con-
gress gave to the country a standing
army that will cost less than the pro-
posed Democratic Army by 1892, ,0O0,-
600, to which must be added the hun
dreds OF millions of dollars that
would have been required for COM
pulsory military training declared
Representative William E. Andrews.
This is practical retrenchment The
Secretary of War, on behalf of the
Federal administration, submitted es-
Inmates and recommendations for an
army of $4,000 enlisted men and 2S,-
0Go officers. When asked why so
many enlisted men and officers would
be required, the Secretary of War and
the Chief of Staff replied that 275, 900
to 100000 men would be needed in Eu-
rope to enforce our obligations under
the League of Nations An army on
foreign soil would be much more ex-
pensive than it would be at home.
Thus it is clearly disclosed that the
Federal administration desired to re-
organize the army and conduct com.
pulsory training that would have re-
quired $2,o00,000,O00 year. The Re.
publican Congress replied to those de-
mands by authorizing in its army re

GOODS AT REDUCED PRICES

The Baca Review says: The great
sales of goods to the public al re-
duced prices, by manufacturers and
department stores all through the
country, while they do not mean nee
essarily permanent reductions in
prices, must have a certain effect upon
the minds of all the retail purchasers
everywhere.
Some of these sales in New York
City include, in several instances,
enormous quantities of standard goods
like shoes, etc, at what seem to be
startling reductions
This cannot fail to affect the senti
ment of the great army of people
everywhere, who heretofore have beer
buying reck1essly regardless of price

ing and restoring a certain amount o

When Senator Harding enters the
White House on March 4th next he
will have completed six years service
as o senator from his state-six years
of apprenticeship for the work of fed
eral administrator. AS never before
in the history of the country, the past
seven years have demonstrated how
necessary it is that the chief execu-
tive shall have had that previous ac-
quaintance with the legislative branch
of the government indispensable to a
proper appreciation of his relations to
| it, President Wilson's complete fail
ure to comprehend the point of view
of congress, and his refusal to con-
cede to the duly elected representa-
| tives of the people the part the con-
stitution decreed that they shall play
in national affairs, have been re-
sponsible for the constant friction that
has existed between them. The cost
| to the people of that lack of co-ordi-
nation can never be expressed in dol
lars and cents, but it has been enor-
nous; and, in addition, national pres
| tige has suffered a setback that will
require the most careful attention.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING

No thinking man who has anything
tising, provided he will only take the
time to investigate the results others
have obtained from consistent and in
/ telligent effort.
The comedy-drama 1T Pays to Ad
vertise' that passed over the country
year or two ago, was strong edu-
Gator along these lines. No sound
business man will invest money in an
| industry, from which he expects a
product to be sold, without first OBJ
sumption of his finished product.
When he is satisfied that the product
can be sold, his next step is to de-
eide by which method he can sell his
output at the least possible expense.
If he is establishing a new industry,
the educational propaganda must be
carried on effectively. II he is al
ready established in line of industry
he must constantly make known to
the user and the prospective user that
what he HttS " sell Is UGIteI llldu any
other similar commodity on the
market.
When Uncle Sam had the best Sc
curities to sell that ever were offered
to the world, what did he do? He
employed the highest type of adver-
tising men this country affords to
write strong, convincing and effective
advertising. He also had the best
sketch artists in the world drawing
picture Illustrations to accompany |
these advertisements. Why did he do
it? Because big successful men in
the employ of the government knew
that Liberty Bonds were the best in
vestment in the world, but in order to
get cash when the government needed
it they recognized the value of adver-
tising, and the skillful advertising
plus labor and the need of immediate
cash is what put the loans over in
record time.
No individual or corporation can af
ford to experiment where Uncle Sam
has demonstrated the value of sensi-
BILE, consistent advertising.-G E.
Whitney in Red Book Bulletin.
