 At touch of twilight, breeding on
 the cares Of bygone days and of the days to be; And yet which bears the clear tran quiIlity Of one whose youth has breathed
 sweet prairie airs, Or followed firm behind the pIowman's

 Kept faith and hope forever sentinel |; The furrowed cheeks, the locked lips

 Betray a will the nation knew 50

\ TRIBUTE OF LOVE
Pattos in Aged Negr1s Offering
 in Linco!n'S Honor.
tissnbie Flowers Had g Deeper Sig nificanee Than the Costly Prod
 ucts Of the Florists Art.

"Fhe most touching tribute eser paid to Lincoln" is the way a newspaper man described an incident which he witnessed. few years ago in Wash tngton. The statues of famous Amer leans stand in the national capitol, and it Is the practice of various pa trfotic societies to decorate hese stat ues with flowers each Decoration day. Among these marble efigies of the dead Is the splendid Gutzon Borglnm bust of the martyred President The pathos of a great heart, breaking un- der the woes of a nation divided against itself, has been chiseied into the stone by the inspired sculptor.
 en this particular Decoration day and the garden had been placed loy- lngly on the brows of Washington, of Lee, of Grant and many others. A wreath of the richest rcses the art of the florist could produce lay upon he brows of the Lincoln bust.
 The women whose reverent hands had put these tributes in place had BOlIS, WuGu tut great IOtuhdo o1 the capitol, almost deserted as always it is on a holiday, hebbled an old ne gro, holding by one hand a little boy, I grandchild, perhaps. In his arms the old negro carried a great mass of the golden-centered daisies which grow in luxuriant profusion in every field around Washington. To keep the flow CTS fresh a dampened cloth was bound about their stems.
 Across the marble floor shuffled the aged negro and his little charge. With directness that showed he had made the sacred pilgrimage oftentimes be fore, the one-time slave led the way tt where the Lincoln bust rested upor it's pedestal. The negro, with eyes dimmed with age and tears, gazed fol q few minutes upon the face of the martyred President, his lips moving as if in silent prayer. Then his tribute the tribute of a race set free he laid, not on the pedestal with the costly trophies of the hothOuse, bu humbly in the dust at the pedestal: foot.

Our Soldiers a patriotic song of the times.
 ."The President and his party did not arrive before the curtain rose. It was during the dairy scene when they came in. Miss Hart, playing Georgi- ana. was telling an American joke to MT. Emerson, taking the part of Dun- dreary, and he failed to catch the point. Twice she said to him: Why, can't you see it?' And he replied: No, I cawn't see it. At this moment the Presidential party entered. passing around the south side of the gallery to enter the box. The play was suspend ed until President Lincoln was seated, the audience having risen with enc ac- cord and cheered enthusiastically. After some time Georgfana said, with emphasis: Well, everybody can see that and Dundreary drawled: They ought to see 1t, you know.
 Ut was about 10 ,90 when the pis- tol shot which sent the bullet at Lin- coin was fired. Booth suddenly slid down from the front of the box onto the stage and rushed diagonally across disappearing. He caught his' foot in the flag decqrati9ns and made some exclamation which I aH aH.R not yRdsE- stand. but no such drainade speech as has popularly been accredited to him. Had he done anything of that kind believe he would have been mobDed before he could have escaped. As it was, J. B. Steward, man of athletic fo fhn cfQ after Booth immediately.
 "There was no panic, such as fire

An officer in military uniform managed to get to the President by climbing up from the stage into the box, the door having been barred. Laura Keene came quick ly through the gallery with pitcher of water, lending an odd note to the scene with her costume and makeup The door of the box by this time was opened and she entered.

Eyewitness Tells of lincoln Assassination
 in FOrd'S Theater

"An eyewitness of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln .'' is a phrase that even fifty-odd years has failed to strip of interest. In an office of the old National Museum building at Wash ington one can find George c. May nard, curator of technology. An at mosphere of peace pervades the place until one speaks the magic words which bring to mind that fateful night at Ford's theater in April, 1865. Then Doctor Maynard tells of what he saw.
 "That evening"" says Doctor May nard, referring to the night of April IA, 1865, "I went to FOrd's. As every body knows, the play was Our Ameri- can Cousin My seat was in the first gallery, on a level with and in full view of the upper right-hand box, which was reserved for President Lin coin and his party.

OWED MUCH TO sTEPMoTHER
Lincoln Was Always Ready to Admit His Great Debt to the Patient,
 Kindly Woman.

q often think of the stepmother of LlpeQln as ap example Qf the deep and d6fet and far-reaching power of woman, a woman who thinks and loves. A commonplace woman no doubt, most people thought her, and she probably thought herself so, too; woman cer- tainly, whose daily work was humble enough to all appearances, a pioneer woman meeting the many needs of the rough and hard pioneer' life-that was all she seemed to be.
 If any one of you had seen her in the little rough log cabin at the home ly, never-ending household tasks while the boy Lincoln lay stretched before the fire reading one of the few books that that life and community afforded, you would hardly have thought of her as a woman of influence. Yet those delft hands of hers that you think of mainly as washing dishes and cooking food and doing other sundry homely tasks, were molding, helping to mold all the while-no one knows just how far that help went-a nations des- tinies. For the boy Lincoln was grow ing up under her influence, was grow ing up to be that man to whom a whole nation will always render lov- ing homage. When he became great man Lincoln loved to acknowledge that it was the wise, just and far-reaching influence of his stepmother-this plain hard-working woman, remember he owed most that was good and in fuential in himself" f."-Woman's Home Companion.

Robert Lansing, ex-secretary of state, said: Born in the humble cabin of the Hodgensville farm. Abraham Lincoln Is the national exemplar of q land of equal opportunity. His life and his career reveal the fact that the seeds of greatness nourished in the soul of even the most lowly may germinate and develop to perfection in the atmosphere and environment of America."

On the morning the Presidents body began the journey to Springfield it was warm, bright and altogether day best suited to rejoicing, yet all Wash ington had come down town to see the funeral procession.

COCHISE - At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Arizo- na Farm bureau held in Phoenix, they employed Lawrence G. Wilson of Pinal county as marketing agent for the Arizona farm bureau.
