more interesting book. Not SO with
Lincoln; he read 1t, absorbed it,
and finally decided that it was sent
to him by Fate that this was his
destined life, and that law was the
master key to the door of public
service. Thus began Lincoln's life
of service to our great republic.
When he was rs years of age he
had won for himself a seat in the
Illinois State Legislature. Two
years later, because of his wonder
full gift for public speaking and de-
batting. along with his ability, and
'1ikeability" he was admitted to the
bar of Illinois.
During this time Lincoln had be-
come better-known, and well-liked
by all who knew him. When he was
35 he was elected to Congress, and
proved a very valuable asset to the
country as a congressman. BY this
time he had become a power in
Wing politics. and his humor, hon
esty and his ability to hold his
listeners spell-bound, made him the
most popular of speakers.
Mr.. Lincoln's knowledge of law
was SO deep and sound that he
withdrew from politics to follow
this profession. When he was on
the high road to success as a law
yer, with no intention of re-enter-
ing politics, he vas aroused by the
Missouri Compromise. Throwing
all of his influence in opposition
to this compromise, he defeated
Staphen A. Douglas in the v
for United States Senator.
The series of Lincoln-Douglas de-
bates won for Lincoln more endur-
ing popularity, and drew the atten-
tion of the whole country. The re-
suit vas an overwhelming triumph
for him, and although he failed of
success in the senatorial contest,
the triumph of those debates re-
suited in making him President of
the United States.
A tremendous task confronted
Lincoln with this new office, COM
ing at the time of the outbreak of
the Civil var Such a trial would
have appalled, the strongest of men
but there was one man who kept
HIS head, and as a result, justice
was done. and peace was p~reserv-
ed.
And now having given the results
of the work of this great man, the
cause should at least be mentioned.
No person could have done SO much
without the brilliant mind and In
tuition that Lincoln had, but,
neither would Lincoln have beer
the man he was. but he Used his
power of perseverance. kept his
faith in God. man and self, and
tolerated nothing but justice in all
things.-Jane Carlow.

LINCOLN ESSAY CONTEST
WON BY JANE CARLOW

Much interest was stimulated in
a Lincoln Essay contest which was
conducted in one of the English
classes last week. Each year this
contest is sponsored by the Illinois
Watch company and through their
courtesy a very beautiful bronze
medal is presented to the winner.
The Essays were written under
the direction Of Miss Shriver. Each
student marked his paper with some
distinguishing mark and the essays
were then submitted to a committee
comprised of Mrs. Samuel Parks.
Mrs. Charles Lowe and Mrs. Jester
Allen. This committee awarded
first prize to the paper marked 81"
and second honor to the essay
marked "101-2." This awarded the
first prize, the Lincoln medal to
JAM Carlow. The paper marked
"101-2" was written by Margaret
Kurtz, and while no second prize
is provided. we hope to present
Margaret Kurtz with some award
for her good paper. Many of the
essays were good but the two pa
pers mentioned were above average.
The students appreciated the
courtesy of this committee in Civ
ing their time and attention to a
matter of school interest and desire
to express their thanks for this CO.
operation.

Cody Girls Outplay
Lowell B. B. Squad

The girls basket ball team won
over Lowell Friday. February IL,
with a score of IA to 10.
The game was exceedingly rough
and although the score was close
throughout, it was not an interest
ing game.
Florence James, during the first
quarter made two baskets while
Lowell scored six points. In the
second and third quarters both
teams made only two baskets each
due to the unnecessar roughness
The game was not refereed as
strickly as it might have been and
both teams accordingly played a
rough game,
In the last quarter Lowell was
still ahead by one point but the
Cody team determined not to let
them win and in the last quarter
came back with all the strength
they possessed and brought the
score up to IA to 10.
Marguerite Dempster was the
only one to score in the last quar-
ter, making two foul shots and two
baskets.

late with the National Club.
Dancing was enjoyed as the chief
entertainment of the evening, the

A delicious lunch was served
consisting of sandwiches, frozer
fruit salad, waters and cocoa
which had been prepared by the

WHAT LINCOLN WAS AND WHY

How hard il is TO write OF the
life OF as great a mar as Lincoln.
On such a universally discussed,
and widely written subject as the
man who is called, even today, the
"Preserver of our nation" The his
tory of his life has been written
and eulogized through every gen
Grafton since his death. Children
are told of Abraham Lincoln before
they are able to comprehend who
and what he was. Stories of his
childhood are put before them as
wonderful examples for them to
follow. 1t is difficult to write, be-
cause we cannot say enough in
praise OF him, who did SO much for
America.
First, Lincoln was a gentleman.
Even today he is recognized as
Honest Abe" Honesty is the main
argument with which to prove n
man a gentleman, for a man cannot
be a gentleman and not be honest,
Lincoln had no spark of affectation
wealth was no part of his ambition,
in fact, he called it "a superfluity
of things we do not need.'' H.
concealed nothing of his humble
stock, and instead of being ashamed
Of q childhood Of poverty, often ne
was thankful for the rich soil Of
illustrations he found in those ex-
periences of his younger days.
For a time. Lincoln was a poor
struggling storekeeper. but this
was not his destined life, merely
a preparation for his great work in
d world. At what seems the
darkest moment of trouble, light
always comes; and it came to Lin
coin In the form of a COPY Of
B~iackstone's Commentaries on the
Laws OF English" 1t brought him
new life. a new career, and a
chance to make life worth living.
Most people in this day and age
would consider it dry. uninteresting
material, and leave 1t without SO
much as glancing through tho
pages. for some less tedious and
