The invention of Chinese writing
IS ascribed by various authorities
to Twangti, a primeval monarch,
and to Fuh.hi. who lived about 5000
B. C.
Original Chinese characters were
simply rude outlines Of the objects
they represented-such as sun.

These symbols. carved at first on
bamboo tablets with iron styles,
were gradually modified with the
use OF pencil. ink and paper
Then. as the need arose. other
characterss were formed by combin.
ing two or more symbols so as to
indicate different meanings.

combining an initiative symbol with
another symbol to designate sound.
Once it was necessary to issue a
proclamation from Canton regarding

Heard Lincoln
Speak At Far

r. f
Franklin Johnson, when boy,
was privileged to hear Abraham
Lincoln give an address and Mr..
Johnson gave a most interesting
account of the experience at the
evening service Of the First NJ. E.
church on Sunday night. At the
time Lincoln spoke he was not very
well known except through the
Lincoln Douglas debates and the
fact that he was to be paid 500 for
giving the address at a state fair
IN Milwaukee was more discussed
than the, fact that Abraham Lin
coin was to speak.
Mr.. Johnson gave a realistic &C
count of that day. In spite Of the
then enormous price which was to
be paid the speaker no money had
been speat in preparing for him;
when the time came for the ad
dress. a lumber wagon was rolled
up and Lincoln mounted this i'm
provised platform to address T his
audience. His appearance made a
profound impress ion on the young
men Of the crowd and when he was
through speaking, Lincoln was led
about the grounds and taken 10
the various side shows and exhib-
its, whose receipts were greatly
swelled by the tickets purchased
by the young men who followed in
the train of the future president
Mr. Johnson was able to remem-
Der little that Lincoln said in his
talk and he was much interested
% read in the last issue of the
Country Gentleman an account OF
the address which he had long
since forgotten
The religion Of Lincoln was DIS
cussed by Rev. j. E. Kundert at the
conclusion of Mr.. Johnson's talk,
and there was special music.

BROUGHT HERE
WHERE HISLEG
IS AMPUTATED

M. Pufahl, aged so, an ex-service
man from the United States Vet
eran hospital at Mendoza, was in
jured on the railroad near Dane
last night and was brought to St
Marys-Ringling hospital, in Bara-
boo where his left leg was ampu-
tated seven inches below the knee
and three toes removed from his
right foot. 49,
Pufahl was a patient in the hos
pitaI- and had evidently wandered
away from the instttntion. He was
seen kneeling on the track by
Engineer Thomas Riley Of Chicago
Of train Sill which arrives in Bar
abOo at ten-thirty, and the frenzied
signals Of the man attracted the
attention of the engineer, who
stopped his train to bring the I'M
fortunate veteran to Baraboo. Ev-
identity Pufahl was struck by an
other train, either as he walked on
the track or attempted to board
freight train, and the fortunate
circumstance Of Riley's seeing him
probably saved his life for he was
weak from loss of blood when
round. The accident happened, one
mile east of Dane. .f
Pufahl is reported as getting
along nicely at st. Mary's- Ring
ling hospital today and it is prob
able that he can be removed to
the Mendoza institution in a few
days. FL
