FIRE HAZARDS SHOWN.
Forest Service Reports Worst Condi-

BY the Associated Press.
The Forest Service reported today
the worst fire hazard conditions in
Western national forests in many
years.
Since January /, 7,785 fires have
occurred, of which 900 came during
the first 10 days of August. Fires
have burned 311.594 acres of timber
and have cost the Government ST.
088,911 in fighting costs.
During 1881, year comparable for
bad fire conditions, acreage burned
during the similar period was 384, 900
acres and cost $2,074, ,224.
Existing fire situations today are
generally worse than on the same
date IN 1881, but the improved record
of control is credited by officials to
better communication and large num-
bers of, trained men available, includ-
ing G. c. G. workers.

In the Spring of 1864 Lincoln was at Gen.

and his staff officers. Mention was made of the
famous Mason and Slidell capture aboard the
ship Trent-an incident in which American
warship had stopped English vessel to re-
move two Confederate ENJOYS and had, thereby,
almost provoked war with England.
America had released the prisoners and apollo
gized to England, and Lincoln was explaining
that although this bitter pill to swallow,

the Union had triumphed, England could be
called to account for all the ernbarraSSmer@
which she had caused the Northern side.

THERE Is another story dating back to his

In one lawsuit he was opposed by lawyer
who was q glib court room orator but shallow

statements Lincoln proceeded to let the wind

During the Civil War Lincoln planned

particular debate was held at Galesburg. ILL.,.
on the night of October T. 1883 Judge Douglas
closed his part of the debate with bitter at
tack on Lincoln's career.
Lincoln said Douglas, failed at everything
he tried. He had tried farming school teach
ing, liquor selling and law and had failed at
each; now he is trying politics. and he was
doomed 10 make the worst failure Oh Ills eli''e
career.
Judge Douglas had given them a very accurate
picture of himself.
"It is true-every word of it," he said. Il
have worked on a farm; I have split rails; 1
have worked on fatboat; I have tried 70
practice law. There is just one thing that Judge
Douglas forgot to mention. He says that l
sold liquor counter. He forgot to tell you
that while I was on one side of the counter.
the Judge was always on the other side
This reference to Judge Douglas well-known
tnfirmity set the audience bowling, and it was
some time before enough quiet was restored
SO that Lincoln could go ahead with his set
speech.
Turing the early part of the Civil War
u scandal arose in the War Department ana
Lincoln obliged to appoint a new Secretary
OF War; Republican Senators thereupon asked
him to change his whole cabinet OF seven men,
Lincoln replied as follows:
"Gentlemen your request for change In
the whole cabinet, because I have made one
change, reminds me of story I once heard
in Illinois of farmer who was much trounleo
by skunkS.
They annoyed his household at night ana
his wife insisted that he take measures to get
rid of them So one moonlight night he got his
shotgun and went out to the yard to walt for
the intruders. His wife, waiting in the house,
presently heard the shotgun go off and in q
moment her husband came in. She asked him
what luck he had had. -,
"I hid behind the woodpile, he said, WIN

Urged to dismiss all seven cabinet MEM
bers instead of just one. Lincoln told Of

Instead of one skunk, ho,oever, seven

then fled, explaining that the one he

considerably abate Douglas' confidence both N
Providence and in the people.
~I SUSPECT" he said "that that confidence 70
not more firmly fixed with the judge than IL
was with the old woman whose horse ran away
with her in the buggy. She said she trusted
in Providence till the britchen Cbreeching)
broke and then she didn't know what on earth
to do"
One typical Lincoln story dates back to his
days as lawyer. He was defending case OF
assault and battery and had proved that the
plaintiff had been the aggressor. The opposing
counsel argued that the defendant might have
protected himself without infiicting injuries.
"That reminds me-" said Lincoln, "of the
man who was attacked by farmers dog which
he killed with pitchfork
""what made you kill my dogP' asked the
farmer.
"What made him try to bite me?' retorted
the offender
"But why didn't you go after him with the
other end of the pitchfork? persisted the
farmer. And the man promptly retorteds
Well, why didn't he come at me with the other
end?'"
The court room was swept with gale q
laughter, and Lincoln won his verdict.
