Lincoln Eccentric About Beard.

In the matter of boards, as in every
thing else, Abraham Lincoln retained
nm open mind. He was not above
liking change for his own sake, monot-
ony wearying him,
In 1853 Lincoln wore beard,
in 1851 and 1858 he was beard!css.
During the debate with Douglas he
was growing beard,
The day after his first nomination
the beard was gone.
Portraits Of 1861, 1863, and 1854
show tie full beard, but before 1864
wns ended the Lincoln face was
smooth again. The last portrait,
made on April 0. 1865, shows the fair
beginning Of beard.

he was admitted TO the bar, and met
with much success as an advocate. In
1S47 he was elected to congress, where
he supported the Whig 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 un-
successful attempts to obtain seat
In the senate. In 1S60 however, he
was raised to the highest office in the
republic.
The national Republican convention
met at Chicago in June of that year,
and up to the eleventh hour 1t was
supposed that Mr.. Chase of the state

brought forward In their stead. The
local pressure was so great that he

mendous, Nearly all the southern
states seeded from the Union before

for four long years devastated the
southern states Of the Union. Lincoln'S

Mhv Baby Has a snub Nose.

Babies, like bulldogs, have snub
noses to enable them TO breathe while
holding on TO the soft, yielding skin
with their mouths when nursing. This
explanation Is given by Dr. Herbert r.
Spencer of London In writing letter
to the Lancet. Doctor Spencer writes
that the button.ended, turned-un nose
Is almost universal, except among the
babies of races that are marked by
hook noses, when the bRby's nose Is

Lincoln and Economy.

As an advocate Of thrift, Abraham
Lincoln was far less prolific than an
other great American, Benjamin
franklin, Lincoln published no Poor
Richards Almanac If he had, doubt
less his lnjunctions to thrift would
have been fully as trenchant and point
ed as were those of Franklin. Fol-
Lincoln was forced TO thrift and con.
sequently realized TIE value of 1t.

jeet was: Teach economy; that is
