The Lesson of Lincoln.

There would seem to be little eff
cheney in celebrating the birthday Of
Abraham Lincoln unless the occasion
be utilized to commemorate the lesson
OF his life. But, of course, it is possible
that his significance is not clearly un-
derstood. Miss Ida Tarbell summarized
him in the words: "The real Lincoln
is the simple, steady, resolute,
unselfish man whose supreme ambition
was to find out the truth of the ques-
tons which confronted him in life, and
whose highest satisfaction was in fol-
lowing the truth he discovered. It
took four years Of dogged struggle, of
constant repetitions Of the few truths
which he believed to be essential to
teach the people of the United States
that they could trust him: it took a
nurderer's bullet to make them realize
the surprising greatness of his SIM
plicity, his common sense and his reso-
luton. It Is this man who never rested
until he had found what he believed to
be the right, and who. having found it,
could never be turned from 1t, who Is
the real Lincoln"
Yet mere comprehension Of funda-
mental values cannot explain the inn
mortal hold which the Emancipator has
upon the affection of his countrymen.
Back OF his quest for truth and righteous
ness there was another power. another
motive--a vast and universal instinct
for mercy which dominated hts soul
and which he himself expressed In the
final passage Of his second inaugural:
with malice toward none; with charity
for all; with frmness In the right, as

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Cradle Song.

Warm little bundle of mine,
Warming my heart as hold you;
Rocking my baby to sleep
While the long dusk shadows creep
Thru mother arms that enfold you
Steals contentment divine.
Snow on the window ledge piled,
Snow thru the Winter air blowing;
Cuddle close, let snowfiakes ny,
While mother sings lullaby,
And nursery freight glowing Z
Haloes my warm little child.
Outside the world Is all white:
Outside cold wind Is blowing;
Bundle Of mine on my breast,
Graded there. sinking to rest,
What do we care II it's showing?
We warm each other tonight.

Perhaps it is fortunate that neither

Local People Making
More Use of Air Mail

The increasing use being made by
Washington citizens of their air
mail facilities was revealed today
in figures showing that they sent
out a total of 304,S86 pounds of
sky correspondence in the first ten
months of this year, an increase
of 60 percent over the same period
of 1885. This poundage is equiva-
lent to more than twelve million
letters, according to Postmaster F..
H. Lincoln.
In the corresponding period of
last year, l87, 045 pounds of air mail
was dispatched from Washington
points. Increasingly large gains are
being shown each month, with fast
er schedules, the current rate of
only six cents an ounce and a grow
ing knowledge of the service offer
ed as principal factors, Postmaster
Lincoln said.
Under existing schedules, air mail
from Washington reaches Califor-
mia points overnight and the At
lantic Coast with loss of only one
business day.
