Lincoln and Summer.

Lincoln was mOdestly proud of his
stature and of the effect of the physical
man, especially when actuated by
noble sentiments He used to speak
of his height to every tall man he
met, and to propose measuring-an-
other guileless habit of self-gratifica-
ton. The only refusal he is known
to have received was from Charles
Sumner, who was also tall and proud
of his height. Sumner was worrying
the President, as he often did, about
some perpleXing matter, when Lincoln
abruptly challenged him to measure.
sumner declined" said Lincoln, max
ing a fine speech about this being the
time for uniting our fronts against
the enemy, and not our backs. But l
guess he was afraid, though he is a
good piece of a man. l have never
had much to do with bishops where l
live, but, do you know, Sumner is my
idea of a bishop."-Harper's Weekly.

FEED FROM WASTE SEED.

Because milk is not chewed, people
are too likely 10 think of II only as
beverage TO satisfy thirst and not as
food. There are a great many preju
dices and whiIns connected with the
human diet that must be considered
by those who have food products for
sale. The tomato was considered an
ornamental plant by our great-grand
parents. People somehow got the idea
they were not good to eat and thus
missed the opportunity of enjoying
this most popular vegetable. Now
there are so many tomatoes used for
food that plan is being worked out
10 make edible oil and meal for stock
feeding from waste tomato seeds,
which amount TO 1000 TO 1000 tons
yearly in the big pulping plants east
OF the Mississippi river. In Missouri
there are now 223 tomato canning fac
tories. Fifty-seven of these report

OLD Love TOKENS
Years Ago All Valentines Had a
Personal Touch.
Much Of the Romance of the Day Has
Passed. Though Sentiment Is
the Same as Ever.

Three hundred years ago young men
and women wrote their own valen-
tines. which consisted then only of
love notices. or declarations OF affec-
ton. written in verse from very full
heart and on plain paper. Many Of
our great-grandmothers saved these
old missives.
Perhaps our parents came across
such valentines. old and yellow and
decaying. packed away In lavender in
the bottom of a dusty trunk up in the
attic. Yet when these valentines were
first penned and put in her hand how
grandma's heart did palpitate and the
bushes rise to her cheeksl No mat
ter how hating the sonnet or ana
gram or triolet, 1t was the music of
love TO her. Heart" dart" and art"
did rhyme sweetlyi
The machine-made valentines that
we buy nowadays have lost this per-
sonal touch, though perhaps some of
them have gained from an artistic
point of view. Today it is only the
school children and few open-hearted
interested grOwn-upS who lind the Gus
tom of valentine making and valen-
tine giving the fascination that 1t used
To be. Why, even Charles Lamb wrote
valentines, and loved to.
Now the modern young man drops

orders candy or flowers sent to Her.
He scorns the valentine sonnet
whereby the girls of today are missing

This was the day when a young man
might accuse some young woman he
admired of being a coquette without
insulting her. In those days go

meaning as "vamp" has today. Ii
meant a heartless trifer.
If she thereupon sent him a hand

bleeding hearts made as one, il was
her answer To his accusation. Ii meant
that conquering the hearts of other
men than he, meant nothing to her
that only his heart and hers i'm all
the world counted. that her heart was
bleeding for him Just as much as his
was suffering for her.

TO two other great men who have be-

AnglO-SaXOn race. Although they
seem almost as far separated from

Chaucer displayed them in depict

Cut Lincoln off His List.

General Huidekoper in 1862 detailed
two companies of his regiment TO
guard President Lincoln's summer resi-
dence. He saw the President constant
ly and they became real friends.
The first time the general met the
President. Lincoln, who had heard that
the Huidekopers came from Holland,
inquired: What is the difference be-
tween an Amsterdam Dutchman and
any other damn Dutchman"
And the general, who admired Lin
coin above all other Americans, adds:
"If had had any awe of the Presi-
dent it was then and there forever
gone."-Girard, in Philadelphia Ledger.

Why Lincoln Helped a Bug.

President Lincoln was walking with

As Lincoln Is Remembered.

The work he did, the sum of his
deeds and their great fruitage, may
inspire the chronicler of our national
life and the recorder of Gods hand
writing in the annals of His world !;
but to the rank and file, who know
but vaguely the details Of his heroic
achievements. the memory of Lincoln
takes the form of a warming, loving,
saddening personal presence, a latter
day reflection of the everlasting Man
of Sorrows.

ographers because of his high place,
is the most fully recorded of them all
although there is no single book
about him that seems so sure TO per-
siSt as the Life Of Scott" by SCOTS
son-in-law, Lockhart.
1t is in the very variety and extent
of the studies of Lincoln'S character
that the strength of his hold on the
imagination of the world is shown.
Fifty-six years have passed since
he met his tragic death. Through all
that period the interpretations OF his
haracter-historical, analytical, p0-
etical-have steadily increased in num-
Der. The bare facts of his unique,
yet strangely typical and significant
career, arrange themselves in per-
spective like the acts of great up
lifting tragedy. IL he had lived in the
days when myths weres made, 1T is
easy TO imagine that in the process
of time he would have grown into a
great mythical figure, King Arthur
of the New World, a half-divine hero
like those that we associate with the
most distant antiquity.
But he belonged to no such period.
His age is one of the most amply re-
corded in all history, and the records
of his life are so intertwined with
those of men and events quite with
out poetic or heroic suggestion, that
his feet can never be wholly removed
from the earth. Indeed, it is much
better that no such possibility exists.
We need to know that out of our COM
mon life can spring so extraordinary
an example of the development OF
which our human nature is capable.
When all is said and done, when his
wisdom, his patience, his sacrifice are
fully remembered, we shall delight
pre-eminently to recall him as the
friendly, humorous, accessible lover of
mankind.-Youth's Companion.

Tough On The Lawyer.

The devil came to the earth one day
And into court room took his way,
Just as a lawyer, with very grave face
Was proceeding to argue the points
In a case.
Now a lawyer his majesty never had
seen,
For to his dominion none ever had
been.
''Tis the fault OF my agents." his
majesty thought,
THAT none of these lawyers have
ever been caught"
And for his own pleasure he had felt
a desire
To come to the earth and the reason
inquire.
Now, when the first lawyer had
come to a close,
The counsel opposing him fearlessly
rose,
And heaped such abuse on the head
Of the first,
Il 1udb uc AnudC hiA a. NILidlA VA Oil
men the worst.
Each claimed he was right and the
other was wrong;
They SPARED and contended and ar
gued so long
That, concluding he'd heard enough
OF the fuss,
'Old Nick" turned away and solIlo-
quized thus:
They have puzzled the court with
their villainous cavil,
And I'm free to confess they have
puzzled the devil
My agents are right; let lawyers
alone,
II 1 had them, they'd evchre me out
Of my throne"
