TRAILS ABOUND IN ROMANCE
Written Testimonial of the Trials and
Triumphs of the Men Who
Fashioned Them.

Nothing is more romantic than the
trail, remarks a writer in the Los An
geles Times. 1t is the artery of trace
and life itself. On land ii moves about
the bases of the mountains, out of the
lowlands, winding through the chapar-
raj, along the easy grades OF the can
yons. never forcing its way, but def
nitely avoiding the slippery rock face
and the poison oak; upward into the
fresh air that breathes through the
pass; on, through the pass and into
the unknown beyond. into the valley Of
hearts desire 1t carries the laden mule
and the traveller with his pack.
Across the great deserts the trail is
a caravan route, seeking the shades of
cliff and avoiding the shifting dunes
stretching unerringly toward the next
water hole. 1t is the written testino-
NAL of the trails and triumphs OF the
men who have gone before. 1t is the
only pathway of the devout pilgrim. as
of the warlike Bedouin. Every habita-
ton of man that has ever dominated
one OF these great trails has made his
tory and has been in its day treasure
house.

the right, as God gives US to see the

But in all probability Lincoln at
Gettysburg touched his highest with
the written nd spoken word. 1t was a
great assemblage of the wisest and
best of the nation. Edward Everett,
statesman, patriot and orator, was
the speaker of the day. He delivered
a long, eloquent and notable address.
Then President Lincoln arose and
said Just 257 words.
Those PSI words were not appre-
ciated at the time. They were drowned
by Everett's food of eloquence. Today
Eyerett's GRAFTON is known only to
stidentss Today Lincolns 2j7 words
have been committed to memory by
the world.
Do not think for one minute that
LiueoIns Gettysburg address was a
happy incident. His letters, his de-
bates, his speeches all his papers
proclaim his mastery of the written
and spoken word
Nevertheless, Lincoln's Gettysburg
address Is in a sense the sublimation
of all that he wrote and said. 1t is
the utterance of a great soul aroused
to expression by a great occasion. Ii
touches the heart 1t satisfies the
BRAIN 1t is Abraham Lincoln him
self.
Lloyd George, in his tribute to Lin
coin at the unwilling of the Lincoln
statue last August near Westminster
Abbey, used these words:
Il am not sure that you in America
realize the extent 10 which he is also
Our possession and our pride. :.
In his life he was great American.
He is an American no longer. He is
one of those giant figures, of whom
there are very few in history. who
lose their nationality In death. They
are no longer Greek or Hebrew or
English or American--they belong TO
mankind. | wonder whether | Will
be forgiven for saying that George
Washington was great American.
but Abraham Lincoln belongs to the
common people of every land"
True, but wordy! The same thing
was said better long ago,
There was great lawyer who de-
spised Lincoln, who had reviled and
insulted him. But Lincoln knew his
ability and his patriotism and took
him into his cabinet as his war secre-
tary. The man entered the cabinet,
expecting and intending to rna the
government.
Truly had Lincoln said with a
task before me greater than that
which rested upon Washington" That
task was to prevent the Union from
splitting In twain. to bring back the
seeding states by force of arms, and
to reInite a divided country half slave
anG. half free.
How Lincoln accomplished a part
of that task we all know In 1865 Lee
surrendered at Appomattox and the
armed resistance of the Confederacy
was at an end. And during those four
momentous years this war secretary,
who had despised and reviled and in.
suited Lincoln, had quickly come TO
appreciate and love Lincoln and to
obey him.
Six days after Lees surrender at
Appomattox Lincoln's further accom-
plishment Of his task was cut short
by the assassin's bullet And as Abra-
ham Lsneoln's eyelids closed in death

Il saw Abraham Lincoln keyed up
to righteous wrath on the subject
Of human slavery and regarded him
as a singularly lofty demon of i'm

IL the time, place and occasion OF
this proposed portrait of Lincoln were
left to vote of the American people,
what would IT choose? There certainly
Is a wealth OF suggestive occasions.
Take. for Instance. the debates of
1858 between Lincoln and Douglas, on
which in reality the fate OF the nation
largely hung. Vice President Marshall,
when a boy of four heard the Free
port debate and was on the platform.
He says:
while Mr.. Lincoln was talking l.
sat on the knees of Senator Douglas,
and he never said one word to me
Just held me- When it came his turn
to talk sat on the knees of Lincoln.
He asked my name. my age where
lived whether | knew my A. b, C's,
whether | had puppy dog or not,
and all sorts of questions OF kind
to interest little boy"
AT the Charleston debate Douglas
made the mistake of indirectly aecus-
ing Lincoln OF disloyalty by referring
TO the old story that he had voted
against appropriations for the soldiers
In the war with Mexico. Sitting on the
platform as chairman Of the Douglas
committee was Colonel Orlando Il.
Ficklin. AS soon as il came his turn
to speak Mr.. Lincoln grabbed him by
the shoulders. dragged him 10 the
front Of the platform and shouted to
tile audience:
Il am not going to hurt FiclSlin, but
am going TO make him tell the truth

old lie which Judge Douglas has
brought up again. Fieklin was a mem

And Fieklin did.

of the house of represent
tatives. If Mr. Monahan's resolution
goes through, the portrait painter SEE
lected TO make the portrait may well
feel proud over his selection. But few
real artists will be envious of him.
For Abraham Lincoln was so many
kinds of man that his physical body
produced widely differing impressions,
even upon those accustomed to his
presence and familiar with the many
sidedness of his character. Moreover,
the whole civilized world has now
come to revere and love the name of
Lincoln and will be satisfied with
nothing less than great achievement
by the painter of this portrait.
This is the moral of the recent con-
troyersy over the statue of Lincoln
erected in London. II viii be remem-
bered that the British government set
apart a site related to the house of par
lament and Westminster Abbey for
this statue. A controversy arose over
the choice between two statues. The
plain truth is that there was feel
ing that one of these statues fell far
short of doing Lincoln justice. The
British government asked the United
States department OF state to settle
the controversy The department of
state referred the question TO the COM
mission Of fine arts The commission
reported to the British government
that the ''man and site call for
statue representative of the highest
achievement of the American sculptor
and advised Great Britain that "shch
is the statue Of Abraham Lincoln exc
cuted by Augustus -Gaudens and
erected In Lincoln park, Chicago. The
British government accepted the fs.
port of the commission.
The world does not want hand
some Lincoln. but 1t does insist upon

Lincoln well knew the wide varia-
tion Of impressions his appearance

This variance OF impression pro-

Prices Continue Firm
at Rug Auction Here

Rug prices yesterday continued to
hold firm at the second day of the auc-
tion being conducted by the Alexander
Smith & Sons Carpet Company. AS on
Monday, retailers and small jobbers did
most of the bidding and purchasing, and,
although individual buying was small
compared with former sales, the wide
spread buying and keen competition kept
prices at about the level of those estab-
lished in last months auction. In some
cases slight advances were registered
over the prevailing prices Of a month
ago. In the main, according to buyers
at the sale, prices are running about 10
to 20 per cent off the list prices issued
by the company after the April sale
rumor that found credence among
many of the buyers yesterday is to the
effect that the Smith company will hold
another auction late next month. The
present sale is deviation from the nor

of the company has been to hold two
auctions a year, one in the spring and
