PTHE stone walls Of the White
Z 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 the cabin home Of his youth. One
night he dreamed that he was In q
crowd, when some one recognized him
as the president and exclaimed in
surprise: "He is a 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 politi-
clans or newspapers about what the
country was thinking. He went to
the source.
AS he finished his daily wrestle with
senators and the big-wigs, he plunged
with zest into what he called his pub
lie opinion BATH" Seated in his chair,
with onelleg thrown over its arm, he
received sha motley crowd that poured
in Though the. wide open door Of his
Office. Those. who approached him in
awe found themselves at ease in the
presence of a friend, whose manner
said to every one what he said in
speech to q regiment: II happen tenn
pGrarily to occupy this big White
House. I am a living witnes that

come here as my fathers child has,"I
The" man fairly exhaled democracy,
fraternity, equality. Frederick Doug
las said that Lincoln was the only
white man he ever met who did not
show consciously or unconsciously that
he recognized his color. ..
Sympathy flowed in a constant
stream from its fountain in this great
heart. A mothers tears, a baby's cry,
fathers plea, crutch or an empty
sleeve never failed to move Lincoln
"If he has no friend I'll be his friend"
he said as he stopped the shooting OF
soldier, under sentence of a court
martial. .v-. .......
"Nfy poor girl" he said to q woman
who pleaded for the life Of her soldier
brother, you have come here with no
governor or senator or member Of
congress to speak in your cause; you
seem honest and truthful and you
don't wear hoops, and I'll be whipped
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 JOY to
their care-weighted father. He never
objected to their nOlsily bursting in
upon him, and often he joined the
children in their bo:sterous 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 grievfnlS
father strove in vain. to win spirit oTt
resignation, dropping his work for e
day at time and surrendering to his
sorrow. Doubtless the fortitude ne
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. .-, ..f....
After Willie's death, the other boy
received double share Of paternal af~
lection. Tad was in the habit Of going
to his father In the evening and max
ing report Of al tnat had happened
since morning, usually falling asleep
in the midst of his prattle. Laying
the little fellow on the floor iy the
side of his desk, Lincoln returned to
his heavy tasks until his own long day
was done, when he took his sleeping
boy on his shoulder and carried him
off to bed. .y.. -, LA

control of Hamilton, who presumed to
direct tile new administration, very
much as Tammany boss puts Tam

Adams never had succeeded in ruling
himself it was impossible for another
to rule him.
Like aristocracies everywhere, the
Federalists were thrown into a state
of panic by the French revolution and
by the rise of the Jeffefsonian democ-
.racy in our vet aristacratien republic,
In their alarm they frantical,y rushed
through congress the alien and sedi-
, ton acts, which became only mill
stones about their necks, sinking their
party forever. Not satisfied with
shutting the revolution out of the New
World, many Of them were for join
ing the monarchical coalition against it
In the Old World. In an upfoariouS
quarrel with the absurd French direc-
tory, the militia was called out and
Washington summoned to command it,
after which the president astonsheG

AN UNHAPPY PRESIDENT

ROBABLY John Adams was the
L unhappiest man who ever sat in
the presidential chair. One of dozen
unwanted. presidents, who were taken
only because. the men that were want
ed could not be elected, this humble
role embittered all the remaining days
of the proudest man in the line OF our
chief magistrates. ''''''.' ''''' ''''"
It was hard enough for Adams to
be the understudy even of George
Washington, while serving as vice
president When he became president
it was maddening to his ego that he
should be expected to play second fid-
lie to Alexander Hamilton, the mas
ter spirit of the old governing class,
left over from colonial times and
which controlled the Federalist party.
The president made the fatal mis-
take of keeping WashingtOn's cabinet,

OYSTERS

This is the season when oysters of caution may, therefore, not be out of place.
 Oyster growers have found that a large part of the public prefer what is known as fiat" oysters, and this preference has accordingly been met by the dealers by "fattening" the oysters after taking them from the beds. This "fattening,' however, is not only humbug, but constitutes a source of danger.
 As a matter of fact, the process is not "fattening" one at all. It con- sists in floating the oysters for a time in brackish water. Having been grown in sea water, the oyster when placed in brackish water, i e., water having a different specific gravity absorbs water and become plump and white. Their appearance is improved
 Unfortunately, the brackish streams in which the oysters are "floated'' are not infrequently polluted with sewage, and so it happens that in this "fattening" process the oysters take up considerable amounts of poll luted material; especially fecal bac- teria, including the germs of typhoid fever.
 Those who eat raw oysters will do we'll not to express a preference for plump, white oysters, but to ask rather for lean gray oysters, having good salty flavor.

LAST CALL FOR ALE.

William E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson, American temperance advocate, mar rowly escaped mob in England the other night that clamored at hall to reach him after it had broken up his prohibition meeting.
 In addition members of the crowd threw foul smelling bombs at the temperance speaker. But it seems that Pussyfoot is raising enough aroma himself without the contri- button of repulsive odors. He is ac customed to such treatment.
 There is little deep reverance for Johnson in the United States, espe- cially in regards to his foreign cam paign. His methods of going after the wet interests invoke laughter in many incidents and people generally speak light of him. That's why the "Pussyfoot."
 However, this prohibition reformer is responsible, in many respects, for the dryness of America and it's con sequent benefite. And although it is amusing" to the general public his treatment in England-just such fanatics as Johnson are necessary in bringing about reforms.
 Probably in few years England will realize that Pussyfoot Johnson did not become Carrie Nations un- derstudy merely to get individual publicity.

CLAIM PREMATURE.

The Republican claim of land slide in the November elections seems premature.
 The Democrats also have claims which being based upon prediction reports, indicate that the G. O. P boast might easily be busted in the middle and smeared around in un- certain quantities.
 The claims for complete victory for the Republicans seems based on nothing other than the brilliant coat of gold purchased with the big slush fund. There has been nothing to political garment, thus far.
 The secretary of the Democrat na- tional committee has stated that all indications point to the state of Indiana casting her electoral ballots for Governor Cox. He states that organized labor in that state will see to it that Cox is given the majority. George White, Democratic national committeeman, also claimed, follow ing conference of leaders that the Democrats would carry Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, New Jersey. "I confidently predict we will car ry great number of the western ception, and we have more than an equal chance in many of the other states. The Democratic party organ ization was slow in getting under { way, because of the lack of finances, but is going ahead full swing now,' said MT. White.
 With this array of northern states the western states that will go Dem ocratic, according to the committee man, and the dependable South, the Democratic party need not begin preparations yet to move the rooster out of the white house chicken yar5 to make way for an elephant kenne' on the back porch.
 If the Republicans win the ap preaching campaign they will neet the most of their big fund so at leas it is premature to say there will b.
