Lincoln's Popular Phrase.

The expression in President Lin coln's Gettysburg speech, government of the people, by the people, for the people," is literary gem which for several centuries had passed unnoticed until thus used by him, an exchange says.
 In the preface of the first complete translation of the Bible In the English language known as the Wycliffe Bible, there is the following: "The Bible Is for the government of the people, by the people and for the people," The date of this is, according to Encyclope- dia Britannica, about 1882, but cannot be later than the time of Wycliffe's s death ii. 1884. This same authority credits him with being "the founder of English prose literature" This same expression from the Standard diction, ary, under the word government"

WHO WAS JAMES ORD?

THE public life of the man whose A name was concealed under the palpable alias of James Ord" com menced when this strange character was sent to Georgetown college, in Washington, with the statement by his guardian, Captain Ord, that If you had your rights in England you would be some one the very mention of whose name would cause every head to bend God forgive those who have wronged you, my boy!"
 In order to remain close by his charge, the elder Ord secured a posi- tion in the Washington navy yard, but 1t was noted that the allowance which he was able to make to the boy who passed as his nephew, was out of all proportion to his salary as master mechanic. Young Ord remembered lit tie of his life abroad-though there seemed to be a hay recollection of a tall and stately woman, sad-faced and dressed in the most expensive of fab rics, who had visited him at intervals during his childhood. In later years however he had spent the major DOT ton of his time travelling with his

Tracinq Bees in Australia.

Some interesting facts concerning native bee hunters come from Aus tralia.
 Wild bees nests are usually well hidden, and, the flight of the bees be- ing too fast for the eye to follow the aborigines have devised various igeni- ous methods of tracing them.
 One way is to watch the bees gath ering pollen, and then, when honey laden bee alights on a flower, to place a piece of white feather-down, mois- tened with gum, on the underside of it's body. The native eye can then fol low the bees homeward journey.
 A white beekeeper on the south coast of New South Wales is little be- hind the natives in cunning. His meth cd is to watch bees drinking at pool. If they fly away slowly, and at no great height, he knows that a nest Is close at hand; if they fly fast and high the nest Is likely to be miles away.

 Well. as I said, he went. Bu: he wasn't much better on the train than he had been In the station. He was as nervous and fldgety as a witch, and he acted as If he did so wish 1t would be over, and over quick. But at the junctIon-at the junction funny thing happened. He put me on the train, just as Mother had done, and spoke to the conductor. (How l hated to have him do that Why, I'm six whole months older, most, than l was when I went up thereD And then, when he'd put me In my seat (Father, l mean; not the cOnductor), all of sud den he leaned over and kissed me; kissed me-Father! Then, before l could speak, or even look at him, he was gone; and I didn't see him again. though 1t must have been five whole minutes before that train went. I had nice trip down to Boston,
 
 though nothing much happened. This conductor was not near so nice and polite as the one l had coming up; and there wasn't any lady with a baby to play with, nor any nice young gentleman to loan me magazines or buy candy for me. But It wasn't very long ride from the junction to Boston, anyway. So I didn't mind. Besides knew I had Mother waiting for me. And wasn't I glad to get theref Well, I just guess l was!

 Before the youth concluded his schooling at Georgetown college Cap tain Ord was taken III, and, after sickness as brief as 1t was mysterious. died while trying to tell the boy the secret of his percentage. James," he gasped, T have sworn not to do 90, but I must tell you that your father was" and here a fit of coughing seized him, which prevented hls dis closure of the mystery.
 Upon investigation of his guardians papers, Ord discovered that the man had not been his uncle, but was mere ly common sailor In the British navy, who, through the exercise of some lso- lltical influence, had been given the post of backyard inspector under the Spanish crown. The younger Ord's supply of funds continued unabated and he placed himself under the tu- telage of Maryland priest, who, In addition to teaching him, assisted in
  percentage. This search led to the con cluslon, unsupported by any direct documentary evidence, that he was the son of George " of England, born while that monarch was prince of Wales, his mother being Marie Anne Smythe Fitzherbert, whom George had married in 17S5.
 When Ord was well on in life, he wrote to Mrs Fitzherbert, but was unable to obtain reply from her, al- though he died in the firm belief that she was his mother. This contention was also accepted by the Jesuit fa- thers of Georgetown college, who, In the centenary history of the institu- ton, mentioned the name of James Ord, son of George "" in its list of alumni.
 After various adventures in Amer lea, including trip to the far West In search of gold and the accumula- tion of considerable fortune on the Pacific coast, Ord was appointed to the bench, and returned to Washing ton, where he built q handsome home on Pennsylvania avenue. Later, how ever, he moved to Omaha, where he died at the age of ninety-seven, still strong in the belief that the long delayed unsealing of Mrs. Fitzher- bert's private papers would clear up the mystery which surrounded his birth. These papers formed part of mysterious packet which Mrs Fitz- herbert, upon her deathbed, requested might be placed In vault in Coutts' bank, London, to remain there until such time as the relgning sovereign of Great Britain might see fit to have them publicly opened.
 The seal was finally broken in 1905, by order of Edward VII, but, while the marriage certificate of George, prince of Wales and the pretty widow was discovered, none of the other doc uments contained any reference to children alleged to have been born of the union. "James Ord" therefore, must continue to rank with Kaspar Hauser, the dauphin, the man in the iron mask and the other unsolved riddles of history.

Persons suffering from stomach trouble and who are under weight find an eyer-ready friend in Tanlac. This celebrated medicine has ended Indigestion and increased the weight for thousands of people everywhere. Mrs. o. D. Flaherty, 1905 Grace St., Lynchburg, Va, says:
 My sons health was fully restored by Tanlac and he actually gained twenty pounds in weight. After every meal he suffered terribly from severe pains, palpitation and shortness of breath, and had awful headaches. He was terribly nervous, too. He Is working now every day and is in as good health as he ever was"
