happily situated they were. both in

Lincoln when the battlefield of Get
tysburg was dedicated.
The day, November 10, 1863, was
overcast and dreary. The morning was
spent In inspecting the late battle
ground. In the afternoon a compara-
lively small crowd gathered around a
plank platform thirty or forty feet
square, about three or four feet above
the ground. There were seats on this
for the delegations and speakers.
Edward Everett was chosen orator
of the day, and he held forth for over
an hour in most masterful Grafton.

table before bin on which were cards
containing notes, and he referred to

off, but retained the familiar shawl
about his shoulders. / sat but few

He began by stating well-known
facts-facts with which we were all
familiar His sentences were short,
and l had the impression that some
times their briefness was due to the
fact that emotion choked his utter
ances. II was one of those times when
he seemed weighed down by his re-
sponsibilities, and his voice was fairly
pathetic in its intonations. Everyone
listened attentively, but 1t then did
not seem remarkable speech, and we
were all fairly surprised when he sat
down. The audience broke up without
expression or demonstration, but /
was conscious that Lincoln's remarks
had made a tremendous impression.

As told BY an Aged
Desierner TO

MAuBEL SHERMAN

I FIRST saw Abraham Lincoln In
1 March, 1868, when l made trip to
the East from California via the
Isthmus of Panama. 1t was at the
Presidents levee, and, of course,
wrote to my family in the West, tell
Ing them my impressions. This letter
proves that /, like many others of the
time, misjudged the man and surely
moderated his abilities:
Last night / was at the Presi-
dents levee and saw many Of the
dignitaries. A few moments ago
saw Burnside and at first view
was satisfied of his incompetency
70 command the army. 1t is
strange that our President and
others have so little perception of
character. Lincoln is good
J natured Westerner.
Later at one of the White House re-
ceptions Mrs Cole and waited in
the long line to be received She some
how dropped one of her white gloves
and was not conscious of il until we
had moved up and it was our turn
to greet the President and Mrs. Lin
coin. She stood looking about her in
dlsmay for the missing glove, and the
President, seeing what had happened,
watched her with an amused smile.
In a moment he said: "Never mind,
Mrs. Cole, | shall have q search made
for 1t tomorrow, and shall preserve it
as souvenir"
This remark, coming from man to
whom book etiquette was a thing un-
known, proved him to be an Unborn
gentleman. His department never
missed, because 1t was the expression
of his friendly feeling for all. He did
not offend because in his heart he felt
no anlmosity for anyone.
Always in consultation he was argu.
mehtative, but not dlctatorial. He
was one Of the best OF listeners ant
was always open to conviction, yet 4
his own reasons were well founded
and no one had better reason Il

Radio, Automobiles and War

Henry Ford says the automobile is an
agent of peace, more automobiles-less
war. when the automobile becomes
as common in Europe and Asia as in
the United States, the people will un-
derstand each other because there is
an easy interchange of ideas and
IDEALS
There is a greas deal of truth in Mr..
Ford's assertion. He shsuld have adj
ded, however, that radio, which annih-
Hates distance and territorial bounda-
ries is the latest enemy of war as the
greatest agent of world enlighten-
ment.
When people in various parts of the
world can hear by Radio, discussion of
political and domestic questions of
their neighbors, and when they can

quainted with the tother fellow" thru

mountable barrier will be raised a.

Glen Pugh Shot

Glen Pugh, who resides on Pinto

shooting Wednesday evening. He
stepped cut onto the poarch at his
home, when shot was fired at him.
apparently by someone hiding behind

tirely passing through Mr.. Phug's alb
domen. He was taken to Spokane
yesterday morning accompanied by
Vern Gill of Bacon, and DIR. Gregg.

Frank M. Carter

This community was shocked Tues
day, by the sad news of the death of
Frank NJ. Carter, as it had only been
few days since he had been attend
ing to business around town enjoying
the best of health. He went down to
Spokane less than two weeks ago, and
there suffered an attack of pneumonia,
he was taken to the Sacred Heart hos
pital ard seemed to be getting along
nicely when stricken with a heart at
tack and passed away last Monday
morning, at the age of fifty-five years,
ten months and two days.
Mr.. Carter was born March &c, 1868,
near Bismarck. ILL.,, and at the age OF
q came west and homesteaded in the
vicinity which is now Baird, and where
he has since resided.
He is survived by three sisters and
two brothers; Mrs. Lennie H. Huffman,
and Mrs. Maud Coake of Illinois, and
Mrs. Nellie Wilson and John Carter of
Spokane, and Edgar Carter of Kenni-
wick.
Services were held in Spokane We'd
nesday, and the body brought to Coulee
and interment was at Highland. Chas.
M. Chappell had charge-of the arrange
ment.
Thus passes another pioneer of the
Baird country, which leaves only
memory and his work to tell how well
his part of the developing was done.
He was most devoted son to his aged
mother, who lived in his home since
death of his father nearly forty years
ago until the time of her death last
November.
Sympathy is extended to the be-
reaved brothers and sisters who again
so soon are SO sorely bereft of loved
one.

May II is the big day, and as the
time draws closer the uncertainty
grows as to which thoroughbred viii
stick his nose first under the wire and
receive the plaudits of the vast throng
at Churchill Downs and earn his
owner fame and gold. q
The biggest shock of all came in the
announcement Wednesday from the
East that Sarazen would not enter
the derby Max Hirsch, trainer Of
the gelding, said his charge had not
improved as expected after the de-
feat by Bracadale last week, and I'M
less the thoroughbred showed an I'M
expected improvement, plans for the
future were uncertain.
Derby HOpefuIs Beaten
Almost every day sees Derby hope
fuls at the barrier. A number of
them have been beaten. Beau Butler,
considered by many the best Of the
Western colts, was nosed out at the
wire by Altawood in the Blue Grass
stakes on the closing day at Licking
ton Wednesday. Altawood is also a
Derby candidate. The race was a di-
rect test at the Derby distance and
with Derby weight up.
There was not much to choose be-
tween the colts. as Altawood won
only by a head after a thrilling stretch
dash. II is a peculiar thing that the
winner of the Blue Grass never has
taken the Derby. while the horse
which has finished second has won
on several occasions.
Bracadale Loses
And while Beau Butler was being
defeated in the West, Bracadale, the
recent conqueror of Sarazen, was
tasting defeat at Jamaica from Wild
Aster. Apprehension, recently backed
to such an extent that odds fell to IS
