OCTOBER 5, 1916.


 At thirteen minutes after Il O. clock the previous evening the jury trying the case of E d W ar d Krause indicted for taking the life of James o. Plunkett filed into the courtroom and returned verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree" According to The Elm pire of this date" Alaskas famous character, famous from a crimin- ologist's point of view especially, had been found guilty of another crime. Guilty in this case means the same penalty that the man charged with many offenses, had exacted from his victims-death. Edward Krause, last night as he sat in the chair within the railing of the District Court room, listened intently to the words spoken which settled his fate Pale already Krause paled perceptibly. His eyes stared straight ahead For an in Stant there was a look of dogged defence. Only for an instance, then a slight movement of his entire face and there seemed to be settling of his whole body. Deputies quick ly went to KrauSe's side, placed manacles upon him and the con- victed man was led below. The door of his cell, still ajar, was op- ened wider and the man who has been the center of attention for several months, went to his cot, and entirely exhausted, sank upon it in collapse"

4 ZEN RUSHED to the White House on one oc-
iVi casion to complain about the high-handed
measures of the Secretary of War, Stanton.
To sooth the ru1ed feelings of his visitors Lincoln
told them a story.
1--WE may have to treat Stanton as they some
times obliged to treat minister I know" he
said. "This man. who lives out west gets so
wrought up to such high pitch of excitement
during his exhortations that they have to put
bricks in his pockets to hold him down
But guess We'll let him jump a while first"
IT is SAID that Lincoln seldom told an original
story, but that he seldom forgot one he heard
and used it and over when fitting occasion
arose. The president himself, to friends, said
time:
You speak of Lincons stories. don't think
that is the correct phrase don't make the stories
mine by telling them. I'm only retail dealer"

Jones, whom once knew, did about his wife He
was one of your meek men, with reputation of
being badly henpecked. At last one day his wife
was seen switching him out of the house A friend
met him on the street, and said, Jones, I've al
ways stood up for you but won't any longer
Any man who will stand quietly and take switch
ing from his wife deserves to be horsewhipped'
Jones looked up with wink, Why he said
it didn't hurt me any, and you've no idea what
power of good it did Sarah Ann"

his horse won the race-and was, in fact, the best

Lincoln said, 'Now, Larkin, if you don't shut up
I'll throw you in the river!'

Lincoln Known For His Stories
Here Are Seveu That He Liked TO Tell

A BRAHAM LINCOLN the martvred president
- whose birthday is celebrated February 12
was known as the president with the most homelv
penetrating humor ever to occupy the White House
Many of the questions asked him were answered
by anecdotes, taken either from his own expert
ence or from his rich fund of pointed stories.
Here are seven of the best stories that have come
down from the widely quoted Lincoln collection
"PILLY," Lincoln said to his law partner, Hen-
- don, "over sixteen years together and we
have not had cross word during that time, have
We?"
'Not one Abe"
Don't take the sign down. Billy. Let it swing,
that clients may understand that the election
of President makes no change in the firm of
Lincoln and Herndon
''If live I'm coming back, and we will go right
on practcing law if nothing ever had hap
pened"
The two went downstairs and across the
street to the railroad station, Lincoln never to
return alive.
A N EDITORIAL in the New York Tribune op-
- posing Lincoln's denomination, caused him to
tell this story:
"A traveller on the frontier found himself out of
his reckoning one night in an nhosptable region
A terrific thunder storm came up to add to his
trouble. He foundered along until his horse at
length gave out The lightning gave the only clue
to the way, but the peals of thunder were fright
full. One bolt that seemed to crash the earth be-
meath him brought him to his knees.
"By no means praying man, his petition was
short and to the point:
oh Lord, if it is all the same to you, give us
little more light and little less noise'"
MAYHEM Lincoln heard that general who was
w supporting Mcclellan politically against

Mzpah is q Hebrew word meaning

aneiently the name of several garri.

ployment In Genesis 31.49, where q

Jacob gave 1t the name 1t bears,

with Laban, but the sense In which
the word 'mitspah' Is used In this
connection is slightly different from
that In other places. Instead OF an
outlook point, 1t indicates place
where God is invoked as watcher.
Accordingly II was a place invested
with sacredness, and. on this ground
perhaps, was resorted to In making
