TO GIVE FUEL TO PARIS.
Double Pipe Line Between Havre and
the Capital Sanctioned

London, March S.-The French gov
eminent has sanctioned the coustruc.
tion of a double pipe line for oil be.
tween Hayre and Paris, a distance OF
about $50 miles, it is stated by the
American Chamber Of Commerce in
London. One OF the pipe lines, with an
internal diameter Of 10 inches. is to be
used for heavy fuel oils, and above it
will be smaller pipe line Of four
inches, for petroleum and motor spirit.
II i anticipated that 1880 tons OF
heavy and ! 600 tons of light oils and
spirits can be pumped through these
lines daily, thus materially tightening
the difficulty of supplying Paris with
coal by Facilitating the use of heavy oils
in its place. 1t is hoped to complete
the lines in time for next winter

FURTHER EDUCATION GIFTS.
Announced by General Education Board
Millions to Teachers College.

New York, March S.--The general
educa ton board announces the appro-
priation of $4,000 for the national
committee on mathematical require
ments, for completion of its work
looking toward reorganization along
modern lines of the methods of teach
ing mathematics, particularly in high
schools.
This supplements a previous appro-
priation of $4,000 made last year for
the same purpose.
The above committee undertook this
work at the request of the Mathemati-
cal Association Of America, and of
the American Mathematic society.
The criticism of the methods of
mathematical study generally prevail
mathematical teaching is following
methods established centuries ago; that
present secondary school courses are
too abstract and too often uninterest-
ing except to the fundamentally in
elined; that they are not as valuable
as they might be as an aid to college
work in general, or to practical life
work
The object Of the committee il to
construct curriculum which would
adopt mathematical instruction to the
needs of the well-informed citizen
without in any way jeopardizing the
scholarship for which the science has
always stood. Instances in point are
studies in statistics, graphic charts,
mechanical aids to calculation, the uses
OF formulate, etc
The board also announces the follow
ing appropriations;
The Howard university of Washing |
ton, d. c., S25 900 towards the sum of |

zeal school.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri.

acid which causes rheumatism.

Great War President Might Well, II
He Had Wished, Boast of His
American Ancestors.

So unique is the individuality of
Abraham Lincoln that one is naturally
surprised to learn that the name has
ever been borne by anybody else. AS
a matter of fact, on the evidence of
recently published genealogical chart
of the former presidents family, there
have been four others. The fifth and
famous Abraham was of the seventh
generation of Lincolns in the United
States. The chart shows that Sam
uel, son of Edward LINCOLN of Hing
ham, England, was apprenticed to 4
weaver and mariner. and that he came
TO America in 1887. living first in Sa-
lem and afterward in bingham, Mass.
Thus by about IL years, If the gene
alogy is correct, Abraham Lincoln
missed being Mayflower descendant.

MEMORIES OF
LINC0LN'S DAY
Told by One Who Was Ac-
quainted With the Great
Emancipation and His
Opponent, Douglas.

"A ERS. JOHN LYMAN CHILD,
NH who is eighty-two years old,
I'VE knew Lincoln personally,
heard Lincoln and Douglas
debate, has a store of interesting in
cidents connected with her father-in-
law, an ardent Abolitionist, as we'll as
tales of her father, who served as ad-
jutant-general Of Illinois.
Mrs. Child's maiden name was Mary
Ellen Anderson. She was born and
reared near Springfield lived in that
locality for eighty years, and now re-
sides in Chicago.
"Yes, / remember when Springfield
the horses were driven to the court
house, unhitched, tied to the back of
the wagon and fed there. / lived on
farm not far from town; we knew
the people in town and went in to the
political meetings. In those days,
you know. two would talk together
each trying to get voters for his side.
I heard Lincoln and Douglas stump.
Folks said that Douglas was the
smartest man but that Lincoln was the
shrewdest Once l heard Douglas say
to Lincoln: You, sir, used to sell
whisky!*
when Lincoln got up, this was his
answer to that: Yes, / did. And
while I Officiated in one way. you.
Douglas, did in another; you did the

douglas was a drinker. They said
he made the best speeches when he
was under the influence. The day my
father introduced him to a little boy
who was for Douglas, though the boys

I know he had been drinking.
"This boys father. Stephen Child
the boy had the same name-was
known all around as an abOlitiOnist.
The boy, only ten years old, for some
reason was not on that side. Once
the father while at work in the field
saw his team being driven by little
Stephen out to the road as fast as
they could go. He hollered for the
boy to bring the horses back but he
paid no attention. After awhile Mr..
Child saw gang of boys drive back
to the house. They had pole in
their wagon. They took this out and
pretty soon began trying to raise it,
for q fiag-pole, in front of the house.
Mr.. Child (by the way, he later be-
came my father-in-law) went over
and offered to help, although it was
a hickory pole. But little Stephen
said. No. this is a Democrat pole
and no Abolitionist shall touch it,
little Stephen had two cats that

manhood: the Bible, Aesop's Fables
and Weems' History of the United

that gave the martyred president his
simple, tender, beautiful literary style,

fables gave him his story illustrations,

and throw off its load right at the door
of another Abolitionist.
'My father-in-law used to hide the
runaways in his cellar, which had no
outside door. just trap-door in the
house. Once he had a lot of them
there and searchers came along, sus-
pecting him. Mr. Child told them
they were welcome to search. They
looked all around, but not in the right
place. That night he loaded the col
ored people in the bottom of the
wagon, piled on top bags of hay and
started out for Salt Creek. On the
trip at the side of the road he met
man who asked for a ride Mr. Child
raised his whip and told him to get
out of the way, that he didn't want
any one to ride and hurt his load.
He got the people safely to Salt Creek,
there in Logan county, then showed
them the way north.

took fine care of Douglas but he used
to beat Lincoln numerically. That
was long time ago, but, he is still
living and still remembers his cats,
my father was Democrat. We
lived neighbor to the Childs, and one
day father took little Stephen to
meeting where Douglas spoke. After
the meeting father had the boy shake
hands with Douglas, and he intro
duced him as a 'ten-year-old Democrat
son of an Abolitionist'
