.GRANDMA'S
SCRAP BOOK
Contributes BY l.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

A child of poverty indeed,
Fair flower of the desert sod,
Thy history to us must read
AS some new chapter writ by God;
We surely know thee as a seer,
That work for man divinely had,
With heart so brave and vision clear,
And mighty mission, martyr sad!
Thy schooling was in Gods own
way,
It's lessons learned in grief and
loss,
The battling that makes us pray.
And brings content to bear our
cross;
No selfish pride was thine for power,
No mean, ignoble wish to rise,
But service of the living hour,
And deep devotion's sacrifice!
O, black as night when all is dark
And thunder-clouds the heavens
enfold.
Was that fierce time when thee we
mark,
As war and death around us
rolled;
It was the booming of the sea-
Upon a terror-stricken strand,
And all our hopes were placed on
thee,
To bless with peace divided land.
And ever in the darkest day,
And while ensanguined struggles
grew,
Thou vert the light upon our way,
The star that finds its space Of
blue;
No fainting fear to US was shown,
No doubling word weighed on our
grief,
But all Of hope to mortals known,
Inspired our hearts and brought
relief"

A prize of ten dollars has been
offered for the best new name and
the Delaware State News Of January
81 says in an excellent editorial:
1.-The Milford Emergency Hospital is
doing great work in lower Delaware
and it is a fact that its name is
misnomer, for emergency work
forms but a small part of it's service
to the public. We trust it will get a
good name, entirely appropriate and
satisfying, as a result of this con-
test, and we urge all residents OF
lower Delaware to send in a name
and try for the cash prize. But the
honor of naming this fine institution
would in itself be sufficient reward
without the cash prize"

HOW LINCOLN GOT THE
WORST OF A HORSE TRADE
By ]. E. GALLAGHER

Abraham Lincoln was fond of a
good story. and it Is a we;l-known
fact that he often illustrated an i'm
portant point in the business at hand
by resorting to his favorite pastime.
Probably one of the best he ever
told he related of himself when he
was a lawyer in Illinois. One day
Lincoln and a certain Judge. who
was an intimate friend of his were
bantering each other about horses,
a favorite topic of theirs. Finally
Lincoln said:
We'll. look here, Judge. I'll tell
you what I'll do. I'll make a horse
trade with you, only it must be up
on these stipulations: Neither party
shall see the others horse until it
is produced here in the court yard
of the hotel, and both parties must
trade horses. If either party backs
out of the agreement, he does SO
under a forfeiture of $25."
Agreed" cried the Judge, and
both he and Lincoln went in quest
of their respective animals.
A crowd gathered. anticipating
some tun, ana when the Judge re-
turned first, the laugh was UprOar-
ious. He led, or rather dragged, at
the end Of halter the meanest,
bOniest, rib-staring quadruped-blind
in both eyes-that ever pressed turf.
But presently Lincoln came along
carrying over his shoulder a car
penter's horse. Then the mirth of
the crowd. was furious. Lincoln
solemnly set his horse down, and
silently surveyed the Judges ami
NAL with a comical look of infinite
disgust.
We'll, Judge" he finally said,
this is the first time / ever got the
worst Of it in horse trade"

Found Guilty of Conspiracy
in Fatal Attempt to

KANSAS CITY, January six
persons were convicted by . jury in

Marshal Henry Dillingham; until to-
morrow, when they are to be brought
before him for sentencing.
Defense counsel announced the ver-
dict would be appealed. The maximum
penalty is two years in prison and .
fine Of $4,000.
All the defendants took the verdict
calmly, except Mrs. Farmer, who wept
bitterly.
The trial was unusual In that prose-
cution and defense witnesses testified
to virtually the same set Of facts, but
placed different interpretations upon
them.
The defendants contended they
merely sought to aid a woman whose
husband had been snatched from his
regular routine by three armed men
who did not identify themselves as
officers and who appeared to be kid
napers. Their motives, they claimed,
were entirely ones OF pity and
sympathy.
