THE FATHER AND THE SAVIOR

1t is only fitting at this time to
spend little time in reviewing the
cause and the reason for these United
States of ours being in existence.
Feb: 18th and 22nd are two dates
which every school child is taught to
remember. They are dates that have
caused people to marvel at They are
held in reverence by thousands all
over the nation. What is their sig
nificance? Why should they be so
conspicuous by their presence on the
calender with upwards Of 300 other
dates?
On February II, 1909, in Ken
lucky, babe was brought into
this world. He was not unlike other
babes, but he was destined. by the
dint of his own efforts, to become the
head of the government and the bene-
factor and the emancipation of the
down-trodden colored race. His name
and memory will always be an honor
ed one in the negro home, it stands on
a pedestal of excellence for the col
ored young. Abraham Lincoln was
their savior. He removed the shack
les that held their race bound, and be-
sides this, he found time to do many
things for his own, the white race,
and would have undoubtedly accom-
plished other things if it had not been
for fanatics bullet, which ended
his life April IA, 1865.
Abraham Lincoln's life can only be
likened to that of George Washington,
who commanded and helped in both a
material and physical way to remove
the shackles that held the Colonial
people bound to the throne of Eng
land. The people of the colonies had
nothing scarcely that they could call
their own, and George Washington
was one, and an important one, in
dispelling the Red Coated British
from our shores The life blood of
this great statesman and general first
began to flow on the 22nd day of
February in the year 1892 and he
passed away at his home at Mount
Vernon Dec. IA, 1899.
Long will the deeds of these men
live in the minds of the American
people. Bright will beam the pages
of history, shedding forth the radi-
ance of their achievements toward
the benefit of all mankind. Theirs is
the type that still prevails, if there is
manhood enough behind it to bring
it out. One was the pampered son of
wealthy parents, who was taught truth
and honesty from the beginning of his
life, and the other was one who never
knew anything but hardship in his
early life How completely and
vet how differently we can match the
conditions of the youth of today to the
condition and position of these men
in their youth, although not accompa-
MED by the privations and dangers OF
their time, the same sturdy qualities

ENGLAND'S MINING STU ALTON

The deplorable condition in which
the Prince of Wales has found some
of the mining district residents of
northern England has indeed con-
fronted that nation with problem
that is not easily evadeG and has
brought various relief organizations
10 the front with the prospect of So
liciting help. The trip of the Prince
through this district has done more
than Il score of formal government
Inquiries. In his trip through these
districts, Wales found that many men
had not had job for from four TO
eight years and many youths of 81
were found to have never possessed
job. No wonder the condition of
wonder the Prince of Wales was
deeply touched with the scenes of
poverty, which he witnessed.
The cause of the situation is blamed
TO the steady declining of the coal
mining industry, which has been TAX
ing place for several years and one
of the chief industries upon which
England has based her wealth. The
miners largely have been unable to
change their occupation because up
wards of 100000 workers in other
industries are reported unemployed.
This poverty situation in England
is sad and of great dimensions and
was not thought to be as serious
by many, of the more fortunate pop
ulation The Prince of Wales, un-
like many other royal personages has
achieved untold benefits to his suffer-
ing countrymen and is indeed entitled
To much credit for his undertaking.

the doom of the organization in Min
nesota" is likely to be realized and
other organizations which are being
used as tools in the same manner by
the powerful Republican machine had
better walk warily henceforth. Nom
political and non-partisan organiza-
tons which are working for a great
moral reform have too much at stake
to allow themselves to be used to
lend morality and responsibility to
questionable partisan projects. Their
consequent loss of influence for good
is well nigh irreparable.

1T "RINGs TRUE"
BY Jean Newton.

WE SPEAK of story or ain ac-
w count of something ringing
true" when we mean it bears every
semblance of truth and sincerity. USu-
ally it doesn't ring" at all. The story
may come to US without even the
sound of the human voice. We may
read of it and yet use the expression
lit rings true" The words however
are survival of time when it was
by literal ringing" that certain truth
or falsity was established.
The expression "it rings true" had
its origin in the days when large
quantity of counterfeit money was be-
ing unloaded in the country and it was
a common sight to see people drop ii
coin they had received in change TO
the counter in order to hear the RIM
by which they could distinguish the
genuine from the imitation. The term
took hold and came into popular usage
in the fgurative sense in which it is
familiar today.

He was going to call upon a bird

OF course he always enjoyed calling
on his old friends. He liked to hear
more of their news.
Sometimes he liked to have them
tell him the same things about them
selves for then he could tell others
who hadn't heard all the news. and
he could freshen up his own memory
about their ways.
But it was an event to call on a
new creature he had never seen at all.
He put on his best brown suit and
his best brown stocking cap with the
brown tassel at the end. and started
on his journey.
The new creature upon whom he
was to call was the Kiwi.
He didn't quite know how to pro-
nounce the creatures name but he did
his best, in his own guesswork fashion
and knew that would do.
"One comfort always is" Billie
Brownie said to himself, that animals
won't glare at you if you don't pro-

He followed the directions Mother
Nature had given him. And then he

given me the power to understand her

CARRYING STONE
BY Douglas MaIIoch.

WE ALL have trouble I've had
w my own.
l always call it carryin' stone.
For when I was only little fellah
(You know. the time when your hair
Is yellah),
When wasn't so hefty of leg and
arm,
] helped my father to clear the farm,
TO clear his acres of rock and boulder,
And done as much as a whole lot
older.
But | never carried a stone, know,
Not one foot more than l had to go.
When his went down, then didn't
bother
To carry a rock beyond my father.
Yet I've seen some folks in my older
days,
Who had to carry stone a ways,
Who kept on carryin'. never stopped it,
And long, long after they might ave
dropped it.
Well. trouble IS somethin' we all have
known,
| always call it carryin' stone.
Yes, all of us have some stone to
carry,
Whether we're single or whether we
marry.
But when you come to the old rock
pile,
Don't carry your trouble another mile,
But put it down (and you can, bet
ya),
And just as soon as the Lord'll let va.
Why carry rock a mite or two?
Why keep on carryin' trouble, too9
whether it's money. or love, or
lal IN when the ford slllt
i0okin'.
Don't load yourself with lot Of care
That you might just as well set down
somewhere,
Don't fret and grieve till you're all
bent double,
Don't carry around a lot of trouble
