LINCOLN
BY J. e. Tn6t.

s. LINCOLN
When at the sudden close Of autumn
we see the evening sun drop out OF
sight,
A sadness steals upon the heart;
we say,
ALAS, the sun il gone, and now
tits night!!
But as we watch the colors dying
out
And hear the angels swinging back
the bars,
Despondently we turn our eyes about
And, 10! The evening sky Is filled Win
stars!
'"rhe sun is gone!" our feeble wisdom
But. no; the million stars that shine
above,
Have caught the flood of light that
And still reflect Its fulgent>rays Of
love!
Hes dead! He's dead!" the friends
of Lincoln cried.
1.-THE autumn sun has settled TO us
restr
The angels swung the gates; he
kSpQCN
They saw the colors fading IN the
4 vest!
He's gomez" they said, We've LOST
our noble friend;
He's passed beyond all mortal touch
and sight;
We've seen his day draw quickly to
its end,
And now there's nothing left u
but the night"
But as they sadly turned their eyes
away,
Behold.-they saw a myriad Of men
Had caught the light Of that fair
autumn day
Rejecting forth its radiance again!
A hundred million hearts his truth
have caught; .
A, hundred million hearts his love
contain;
A hundred million minds reflect
his thought; .
The sun has sunk to rest: the stars
remain!

She had a copy Of the book at home,
Dut that seemed to be the only title
she could think OF.
We have several copies,"' the girl
IN charge answered, "but I think they

AS the clerk examined the shelves.

books on the shelves, all the while
Watching the old German out of the
corner of her eye. His back was to-
ward her. and he seemed to be exam
turning over the pages as if unable to
decide what he wanted. Curious as
to what his taste in reading was, Jane
endeavored to locate each book that
ne removed from it's place, her idea
being hat she would later try I'd dis
cover their titles. To her amaze
ment she found that it was invariably
the third book in each shelf that he
removed and examined-the third
from, the end. It did not appear to
her that he was examining the con
tents OF the pages SO much as search
Ing them as If he expected to find
something there.
All at once. as she furtively watch
ed rom behind him. she> heard him
give q little pleased grunt and she
saw him picking out from between
the leaves of the book a fragment of
paper. which he held concealed in his
hand. Watching closely, Jane saw
him thrust this same hand into his
trousers pocket. and when he brought
1t out she was certain that the hand
was empty. What did this. curious
performance mean? What was the
little slip of paper he had found in
the book? Why had he concealed it
in his pocket?
/ Still keeping her attention riveted
on him. she picked up a book to mask
her occupation and pretended to be
turning its pages. She was glad she
had done 80. for a minute later old
Hon wheeled suddenly and looked
sharply about him. Apparently >hav-
ing his suspicious disarmed by see
ing only herself and the clerk there,
he turned again to the bookshelves,
Jane this time saw him thrust his
fingers into his waistcoat pocket and
withdraw therefrom-she was almost
certain of ia little slip Of paper,
She saw him remove from the second
row of books the fifth from the end,
open it quickly and close, 1t again and
then restore it to its place. AS he
did SO he turned to leave. the store.

IL attending properly to his job he

accommodation Of several new guests

Within the past two weeks there have
been enough charges and admissions
made In the course of the legislative
Investigations to send a rather .nu-
merous group Of people to the state
prison. Several men have admitted
the commission Of offenses which are
classed in the statutes as major

been made against other persons. the
people who have made those charges
are either telling the truth or they

the arrest and prosecution Of Messrs.

There Is a professional prejudice
