A LICOLN STORY.
BY DR.. William E. Barton.


GOOD Lincoln stories are none too
abundant, and when one can
not learn a new one, it is a salts
faction to get a new confirmation of
an old one.
Everybody on the Pacific coast
seems to know Sam Hill, the road
builder. He is the man they used to
swear by. | dined with him few
days ago and he told me this story:
In 1895, when the Venezuelan con-
troversy was on, Sir Stafford North
cote, Lord Salisbury's private sec
rotary, came to the United States to
adjust the dispute, and told this
story to Sam Hill:
During the Civil War, Sir Stafford
Northcote, father of the Sir Stafford
who told Mr.. Hill the story, repre-
scented Great Britain in Washington
and on one occasion went to the
White House on an urgent matter,
taking his son with him.
He asked to see Mr.. Lincoln at
once, and was told that Mr. Lincoln
was dressing and not ready to re-
ceive visitors. The urgency If the
matter caused Mr.. Stafford to insist
upon being shown to the bathroom
where Mr.. Lincoln was backing his
boots, using for the support Of his
| foot what looked like and empty soar
/ box.
Sir Stafford was surprise to fine
the president thus engaged.
why, Mr.. President! he ex
claimed. an England a gentleman
never blacks his own boots
/ Lincoln was not disturbed. h'
Piled his brush without raising his
head very far, but still looked cheer
fully at Sir Stafford as he asked:
"Whose boots does he blacki'
The younger Sir Stafford North
cote laughed merrily, said Mr. HUI
in telling the story.
It is good story.
No man. by refusing to black hi
own boots, escapes the necessity o
some kind of service. He may b
, proud Of the labor he escapes, by
something must take its place, if I
be nothing but the painfully mar
labor of killing time.
If man does not perform som
useful labor, by what kind OF harde
labor does he get through life?
Whose boots does he black?

81 Daily Poem
~ EXPERIENCE
Il" NECESSARY

I'VE seen the world a little bit,
I've touched at ports score,
And after what know of it
| want to know some more;
And though, as far as | can learn
My homeland is the best,
The facts | cannot quite discern
Until I've seen the rest.
THEY say the ladies here at home
Are finest of the fine,
And yet, through other lands roam,
Lest in this heart of mine
A doubt might rise somehow to break
The native maidens' thrall,
And to avoid that sad mistake,
| want to see them all.
co though I'm always on the move
~ And never still, in sooth,
It's just my eagerness to prove
The scientific truth;
And is that all the reason why
| roam, restless elf?
Well, since you ask, l won't deny
That | can't help myself.

YOU'VE heard of the thyroid
gland. If It becomes sluggish, it
swells into goiter. If it gets over
active, the eyes bulge, pulse runs as
nigh as 900, the body trembles.
An over-active thyroid floods the
brain with iodine, making the wits
work at high-key. Then you have
genius-a musician, an Oscar Wilde,
an artist or a social fanatic.
The Thyroid gland is the damper
that regulates the fuel burned in
your body. It slows you up or gives
you speed.
A New York mother of eight chill
dren is being given thyroid treat
ment, which doctors say may cure
her of her habitual thieving.
In Columbus, O., two stunted girls
of nine and ten are being transform

Tobacco Situation Encouraging

Mr.. George | Gardiner, Manager
OF the Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association, while in town Tuesday,
spoke very encOurgingly of the tobacco
situation, saying that the Association
sold last week One-Ihlrd as much to-
baccO as was sold the entire year Of
1920 at satisfactory prices, taking all
things into consideration. He also
spoke very highly OF tho cooperation
of the state Tobacco Inspector, MIR.
Blackjack, and his assistants, in get
ting the Old tobacco reinspected, of
which. about fifteen hundred hogsheads
have heen recently sold. However.
conditions have now reached a point
when for the next 30 days it would be
almost an impossibility to get the old
tobacco reinspccted, but he felt that the
farmers would gain by this, as recent
sales OF this old tobacco we're slightly
better on account If the poor outlook
for the 1920 crop, and the fact that the
farmers of the tObacco-growing area
OF Mary land seem to be Just realizing
that iliey were within IN hours run OF
the big city by truck, and this, con
nccted with the fact Of the establish
ment of large Creamery in Southern
Maryland means that greater DIVERSE
lication will be undertaken. The grow
ing OF tobacco without profit would be
very seriously considered by the far
mer and would at least relieve the mar
ket of a lot of low grade tobacco that
is not bringing the cost of production,
as smaller crops would be raised and
more care given them. He said every
weekend that return to the country
| can see greater evidence by the far
mer of thought and business methods
along tile lines of his endeayors, and
the time is not far distant when the
real intrinsic value of cooperation
will be plainly visible, and my advice
to the young man OF Southern Mary
land is to buy land while he can and
grow with Southern Maryland. Don't
worry about your future. You have ]
fine opportunity. All you have TO do
is organize, think and work. Don't
let the other fellow do your thinking.
DO it yourself.
