AS keifer Saw Lincoln.

Tho he was prominent in both po-
litical and military affairs in civil
war time General J. Warren Keller
says in his slavery and Four Years
OF War" that he saw Lincoln but
twice. The first time was at Spring
field, III. That was in February, 1858.
a month before that Keifer, a gradu-
ate OF Antioch College, had been adj
mitted to the bar and was looking for
a location to practice.i
Happening to be in Springfield he
naturally visited the supreme court
chamber and listened to the lawyers
presenting their cases there. Lincoln
was one of them. Keifer describes
and carelessly dressed, his trousers
being several inches too short, re-
vealing a large and poorly dressed
foot.
He spoke as he addressed the court
in conversational manner and the
young visitor noticed that the men,
bers OF the court listened very at
tentfvely to him, and that the other
attorneys present showed the man
Difference, for even then he had a
reputation as great lawyer. And
tho nearly half century passed be-
for General Keifer set down in book
form his impressions in the court
room ut Springfield that day. he dis
tinctively remembered that the tenor
OF Lincoln's. argument was on the
application of the law Of limitations
to q defective tax title.
The next time he saw Lincoln was
when he visited the army in which
Keifer was serving, near Washing

Complete viAiory for the repub-
lican ticket attended Tuesdays cleo
ton in Marshall county. Every can
didate for national, state and
county office swept. thru on the tide
of victory by overwhelming MAORI
ties. The head Of the ticket scored q
victory OF four to five to one. Sena-
tor Cumlnins led Porter by vote Of
almost three to one, and Kendall
for governor, polled a vote between
two and three times that Of his OPP
ponent, Herring. Complete revised
returns viii give Harding a majority
of close to 1000 in the county.
Never in the history OF the county
has there been SO great republican
landslide as that for the national
ticket, which carried with it every
officer from governor to coroner.
The great lead for Cummins and
Kendall was surprisingly large, in
excess of the pre- election predictions
of the most optimistic party leaders

When Is a Rabbits
Foot Not a Rabbits
Foot? Ask P. Burke

When is a rabbits foot not q rab-
bits foot? II in doubt, ask Patrick
Burke, ad compositor and inciden-
tally demoCrat--one Of the few
democrats in the Times Republican
family.
Pat" is n democrat because his
early training was on a democratic
newspaper, and he once was priYi-
legged to march in a democratic jolli-
ncatioa parade. Otherwise he Is
a fine fellow. While no X-ray
machine was used to peer
into the innermost recesses of
his heart to see how he felt about
the election results before the cleo
ton, to all outward appearances, ex-
pressed by word Of mouth, Pat was
sure that Cox and Charley" Henry
were going to be elected. 1t Is not re-
counted whether he was able to place
any bets at the economically sought
odds Of or 10-to-1. but to all in
tents and purposes, weather included,
Tuesday was to be democratic day.
The real cause, however. for the
firm belief of a democratic victory,
was Il rabbits foot, which Mr.. Burke
carried in his pocket all day Tuesday.
1t was said to be left hind foot Of
a perfectly good rabbit that was shot
the day before by Carl Everist, a
brothers, in the craft, who was hunt
ing ducks and didn't get any. So sure
was Mr.. Burke that the rabbits foot
meant good luck for his party that
he induced his brother printer to part
with the foot, and it went with Burke
4 the polls.
Now it is said that the foot really
was a riSht hind foot instead of left,
and that Evcrst didn't shoot the
rabbit at all, but found 1t in some
little boys trap. Hence the loss Of
the charm and the democratic ticke:
inationally, state. and county.

Kendall Runs With Cummins.

ponent, Herring, also polled larger
vote than the democratic candidates
for senator. Kendall, however, car

heard from on governor the Fifth
ward giving him a majority Of 90
over Herring. In some precincts he.
did not run as well as Cummins: in
others his vote was greater.
County precincts were, with few
exceptions, overwhelmingly for the
republican candidate. The vote in
the city, with the First and Third
wards incomplete. was: Kendall, g.

The prediction of Il close vote for

borne out by results. Senator Cum

democratic candidate. Here the vote
was closer than might have been ex-
pected. Judging by the prediction

In the rural districts the vote for
Cummins was above normal, in some

GIANTS RELEASE
 SICKING TO REDS

Manager John McGraw or the GlantS announced yesterday afternoon that he had released Edward J. Sick ing, his utility infielder, to the Cin- cinnati Reds by the waiver route The announcement came a surprise, for 1t was generally supposed that the New York manager intended to keep Sicking as a substitute infielder. The youngster played second base during g Larry Doyle's recent absence. While Sicking is not a finished ball player, he was regarded as a. prospect. Com ing as this announcement did on the heels of the sale of Pitcher Wilber Hubbell to the Phi1lies, it is appar- ent that McGraw is determined to do some real house cleaning.

 paratory to sailing for France on

 In explaining why Carpenter will not meet Battling Levinsky on July 26, as originally announced, Jack Cur1ey says there is a clause in the
 moving picture contract signed by the French boxer that prevents him boxing the Battler on that date. Cur i ley declares that Carpenter and Levinsky will box in this country on or about October 1e.,
 Regarding the proposed match with Dempsey, Curley says that Kearns will arrive in New York the first part 1 of next week and have a conference 1 with Carpenters manager regard ing a match for the worlds title 1 Curley expresses confidence that arti.
 cles of agreement will be signed be- i fore Carpenter sails for France.

 part from the show grounds at 10

 cession, like all else connected with
 the new circus, is of greater length and briiHarcy than any Fsrsented in

 division is alone one of the most re

The | increased size has been made neces- sary because of the additional num- Der of performers and the massive ness of the acts exhibited.

Chief Bender chalked up new strikeout record for the season dur ing the week at Waterbury, 13 bats men being turned back over the whiff route. He had great hop on his fast one, while his curve ball was breaking in great shape. For six in- nings Waterbury tried to penetrate the defense of the Indian, but he was master of the situation and turned them back regularly. So effective was he that he famed eight men in a row after one had been retired in the opening inning. This records beats the marks of Booth Hopper and Guy Morton, both of whom were in the habit of striking out a great many in each game.
