C0LoRED CLUB WOMEN
WORK FOR CHILDREN

MI. Meigs, Ala.-In Alabama, as in
Virginia, the state has taken over
work for neglected colored children
begun by colored club women.
These women raised 5000 fifteen
years ago, bought a small farm here,
and opened school for forty little
boys. II was so successful that the
state took il over as a reformatory.
The colored women still assist in It's
support and compose an advisory
board. one member OF which sits
with the state board at its monthly
meetings. The school now cares for
300 boys. During this season they
have raised 1000 bushels OF corn
and provisions for the winter.
The club women are now enter
prising similar institutions for girls
Of their race. They have bought
ground, and are putting up the first
cottage, which is planned for TWEEN
ty-fve inmates.

ern delegation; but they we're sudden
ly abandoned, and Mr.. Lincoln was
brought forward In their stead. The
local pressure was so great that he
carried the nomination over Mr.. Sew
ard, and was elected president in No
vember, 1860.
The result OF the election was ire
mendous. Nearly all the southern
states seeded from the Union before
the new president was inaugurated.
Then came the attack on Fort Sum-
ter and the terrible Civil war, which
for four long years devastated the
southern states OF the Union. Llncoln's
tact and service during these four
years are too well known TO be re-
counted.
At the expiration OF his term OF
office he was reelected to the presi-
dency, and lived TO see the ultimate
success Of the federal arms, and the
surrender Of Richmond and the army
OF General Robert +. Lee. While on
a visit TO the Ford theater, Washing
ton. April IA. 1865, Abraham Lincoln
was shot through the head by an actor
named John Wilkes Booth he passed
away on the following morning.

coin began life as laborer In the
bush, building rail fences-a circum-
stance which gained for him In after
years the designation Of "the rail-
splitter"-also working as common
sailor on the fiat boats which navi-
gated the Mississippi river. While
thus employed he picked up a little
learning, and gave all his spare time
to reading what books came his way.
He served as captain Of militia dur
ing the Indian troubles In the North
west and In 1884 was elected to the
Illinois legislature. Three years later
he was admitted TO the bar. and met
with much success as an advocate. In
lS47 he was elected to congress, where
he supported the Wing party and be-
came conspicuous as an opponent Of
slavery. The Whig party was broken
up after the presidential election Of
1852, and two years later he appeared
as leader Of the newly organized Re
publican party. He made several I'M

Many statesmen believe that China

dous necessity OF making all haste
TO render that civilization Chris

SICKNESS IN BEREA COLLEGE

Berea College, like many other
places, Is being visited by an cpl
demic. The tax has been very
heavy on the Health Department
Of the Institution. In normal times
IL is splendidly equipped 10
care for The students and large
number Of others, having cots for
100 patients. and in case OF emer-
gencics other buildings may be
used. When IL was seen that the
epidemic was very progressive, the
services Of other trained nurses
and another physician were Sc
cured. Students and others have
volunteered to help in any way
that they might: so that all the
sick are having careful attention.
The difficulty has been greatly
increased by the fact that many OF
the cases have been OF the malig-
nant type which was so common in
the army.
The Medical Department, which
has been praised so highly by DR..
Simon FIexner for its treatment Of
meningitis two years ago and by
others for its successful handling Of
The nu epidemic last year. will not
lose anything OF its reputation in
the combat with The epidemic which
II IL now fighting. Latest reports
are that the situation is improving.

Lincoln Eccentric About Beard.

In the matter Of boards, as in every.
thing else. Abraham Lincoln retained
an open mind. He was not above
liking change for his own sake. monot.
ony wearying him.
In 1853 Lincoln wore a beard.
In 1857 and 1858 he was beardless.
During the debate with Douglas he
was growing a beard.
The day after his first nomination
the beard was gone.
Portraits OF 1861. 1863, and 1864
show the full beard. but before 1864
was ended the Lincoln face was
smooth again. The last portrait.
made on April 0. 1865. shows the fair
beginning Of beard.
