Lincoln Centenary at Jackson
(Contributed)
The faculty and pupils of St Cath
erine's Academy and the students of
the pnbhc high school gathered in the
ssembly hall of the academy on t en-
ruary 12th to recall the life and serv
ices of the great man whose name was
being tpoken in praise on that day
throughout the length and breadth of
the mighty Uuion he had preserved.
The memorial exercises began with
the singing of "The Red, White and
Blue:" the earnestness and . spirit of
the young lady vocalists was an evi
dence that ttie patriotic devotion of
American womeu, so helpful to Lin-
uln iu the darkest hours of his great
struggle "has not perished from the
earth."
Then Editba Kearney recited in her
lear, well-modulated voice Lincoln's
avorite poem, "Oh Why should the
Spirit of Mortal be Proud?" The
heart-subduing sentiments, so well
ezpresssd, explained much of the mag
nanimity of Lincoln s character, for
how could a mind tbut dwelt frequent'
ly on the inherent littleness of man as
compared to the vastness of destiny.
fail to discern clearly thu pettiness of
malice and revenge, and the sorry
pathos of human pomp aud circutn
stance.
In answer to "Roll Call" by Gertrude
Hall each pupil gave a quotution from
Lincoln: that so many choice genu
ments could be culled from the writ
ings of a man noted for extreme terse
ness of speech proves that excellence
in literature is pre-eminently of quali
ty rather than quantity.
The graduates quartette rendered
"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground
in a way that would have stirred deep
memories in any one who had worn
the Blue or Gray from "Sumpter to
Appomatox.
The chief feature of the entertain
ment was an informal lecture on "Wi
Times and Lincoln," by the Very Rev
P F McCarthy. Those who have ever
had the pleasure of heariug the rever
speaker will admit his power to por
tray logically and simply, while he in
stiuots and delights with word-picture,
humorous incident and pithy concln
siou. The deep, almost strained at
tention of his audience would be
fluttering tribute to a lecturer lets
gifted in the art of interesting, but it
is doubtful if one of the boys present
and boys are proverbially inattentive
could be made believe that they had
been listening so closely for more than
an hour.
If making Lincoln's birthday a na
tional holiday would insure so enjoy
able a treat each year on February 12,
it is not dilUoult to predict how many
votes would be cast in favor of the
measure in Jackson.
The exercises closed with a full
chorus of "Columbia."

Think Afooxit Your Boy!
Mr F'arixier: By the time your boy grows up and be
comes old enough to take up in his own name one of the new
Government Irrigated farms in the Big Horn Basin it will be
too late for him to get one. Will you let his chance go by?
Is this fair to the boy? What will he think of your foresight
when he seeks for land and finds out that you neglected to
take in 1909, almost as a gift, an Uncle Sam Irrigated Farm
that in 1919 will cost him $150 per acre? Of course, if he has
the price, all right, but what if he has not?
