Abraham Lincoln
Bu Dr.. William E. Barton

We are nearing the time correct estimate OF the
life of Abraham Lincoln His own generation coulo not
fully appreciate him. even we DO put appfoacii a Ju
estimate of his high qualities eoo+
once sailed rp the Columbia River near to the 1oot
of Mount Hood that the summit was lost TO sgnt among
that mountains foothills: even SO are great men
almost hidden by their lesser contemporaries :.
But we sailed away again, and the glorious summit OF
the mountain itself lowered above the lesser Mis- anu
almost sunk them to the level of PLAIN
We are nearing that perspective for Abraham Lincoln
Now he belongs to the ages said Stanton, as Lincoln
dra his last breath Until that moment he had hardly
belonged to his country; only half OF It clamea hn'
and even that part not united in its Judgment OF him.
Now little than century after his plrtn ana
somewhat more than half century after his death, we
have begun to learn how great he was
No American young man or woman need ever lose near
so long as the story of Abraham Lincoln can be told to

ing his scanty education against every natural dsadvant
age he by might of his sheer manhood and nobility
of character till he became president OF the Gteo STATES
and in that position abundanty justified the confidence
of his fellow-ctiZens.
That story in itself is typical of the best there is
in American life Our hope OF democracy can never
wholly fail long that story rings true to the Amer
can spirit.
It was not some happy the wheel of fortune that
raised him to position of influence. His

Even in his own lifetime he somehow to incar-
nate and express the conscience of the nation In the

people trusted his of right.

America safely trusted in his sanity, his honor his
sense of justice.
He was Americas first American; and now behold all
nations coming say that of all Americans they find in
him with which they feel themselves to be akin.
The qualities that made Lincoln great were those that
fundamental and universal. They are the monopoly
of no one time nation

A Louisiana Problem

a Louisiana sheriff forgot to hang man on the
day appointed for his death. This lapse of memory
is the more remarkable considering that the doomed
one was negro and the setting was in the Sunny
South where the hanging of negroes is supposed to
take place in and of season.
The authorities do not know quite where they
stand In theory the negro is dead. But life
be breathed into legal corpse? The books throw
no light on that inquiry. Once-in- jeopardy is sug
gested as disposition of the But what then?
That restore the negro to legal life. He is
dead dead dead as the judge doomed him to be-
if he cannot be hanged, and he cannot
be under the original sentence, what is to be done
with him? Is subject to liberation by habeas
pus? As dead it cannot be said that he is be-
ing unawfully deprived of his liberty that is
something dead enjoy. Perhaps his friends
if he has any may claim the legally dead body, but
society has rules for the disposition of bodies of
dead. They must either be buried burned.

LINcoLN's FAvoRlTE POEM

"oh Why Should the Spirit Of Mortal Be Proud?'
oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like a swift fitting meteor, a fast-flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, break of the wave,
He passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves the oak and the willow shall fade,
Be scattered around, and together be laid;
8 the young and the old, the low and the high.
Shall crumble to dust and together shall lie.
the multitude goes, like the flower weed.
That withers away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes those behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told
We the same sights fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream feel the sum-
And the fathers have
The thoughts thinking fathers did think
From the death shrinking fathers did
shrink;
To the life clnging fathers did cling
But it speeds from all like the bird the wing
Yea, hope and dependency, pleasure and PAIN
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain:
And the smile and the tear. the song and dirge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.
IT'S the wink Of eye tits the draught of breath
From the blossom of health paleness death,
From the gilded salon to the bier and the shroud-
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

Stories of B, Ell
Scot
Great Scouts wsn
Belly DODD, THE "MAN WHO
SCALPS HIMSELF"
q, Western Newspaper Union.

Some historians have asserted that
Belly DOdd was a myth, but some of
the old scouts who knew him well
do not agree with them. ASK some
of the Injuns who raided along the
old Santa Fe trail about The Man
Who Scalps HIMSELF" they said, with
laugh. Like California Joe, DOdd
was a practical joker, and one of his
jokes once defeated band of Indians
and saved a wagon train from the
horrors of a massacre.
Dodd was guiding a caravan of
traders to Santa Fe. At night they
parked their wagons in circle with
the mules cOrralled inside to prevent
their being stampeded If Indians at
| tackled. Outside the circle guards
were posted TO give warning at the
first appearance Of q savage.
Just before daylight one morning
; the traders were awakened by a shot,
and rushed out to find q guard lying
wounded on the ground. In the next
instant a band of Pawnees charged
|
lowed The Indians who attacked
the train were REINFORCED by larger
band and in short time 1t became
evident that the train, whose defend
ers were hOpelessly Outnumbered, was
doomed Suddenly Dodd, whose rifle
had knocked down more than one
painted warrior, threw aside his weap
on and dashed outside the circle OF
wagons
Howling fiendishly, he rushed into
the midst Of the charging Pawnees
Before the Indians could recover from
their surprise at his bold act, DOdC
whipped out his long knife, ran
around the edge of his hair, and will
a wild yell, tore off his shock of blacl
hair and waved II about his head.
1t was too much for the Pawnees
With a howl of terror, they broke an,
ran. DOdd was q swift runner-h
could hold his own in running beSid
. a galloping buffalo, 1t Is said-and h
,, pursued the frightened redskin:
shrieking and waving his scalp" III
i'll they left him far behind. A wi
; had saved a wagon train!
After that time any wagon trai
which Belly DOdd guided over tn
Santa Fee trail was safe if the Indian
saw DOdd In the lead. They had n
use for man who could scalp hin
, self and still live.
J. What became of Belly Dodd an
where he died Is as much a mystel
n as his birth and early life. He playe
his little role as a comedian in Il
4 drama of the West, and then, like mar
greater actors, he passed on and W;
