Lincolns Gentle Way
After Lincoln became president he
seas besieged by office seekers One
he told a rather unpromising
awn this stor Once upon a time
there wa a king fond of hunting
and always before starring would send
itrr his magician for a report on the
leather One day when the magician
promised fine weather they started off
Soon they met a peasant driving a don
key The peasint said My great
Icing turn back a dtorm is brewing
The king replied No my magician
3ays the weather will be fine Said
She peasant When my donkey turns
jls ears forward its going to storm
The king went on and was caught in a
jrrific storm When he returned he
removed the magician from office and
secured a donkey Lincoln added
And since that time all the jackasses
ji the country have been seeking
offices

ladder trouble could realize their dan

Who Pays In Advance
The following marked Stolen is
published in a Missouri paper How
dear to my heart is the steady sub
scriber who pays in advance at the
birth of the year who lays down his
money and does it quite gladly and
casts around the office a halo of cheer
He never says Stop it I cannot af
ford it nor Im getting more papers
now then I can read but always says
Send it tbe family likes it in fact we
all think it a real household need
How welcome he is when he steps in
the sanctum how he makes our heart
throb how he makes our heart dance
We outwardly thank him we inwardly
bless him the steady subscriber who
pays in advance
Everyone would be benefited by tak
ing Foleys Orino Laxative for stomach
and liver trouble and habitual constipa
tion It sweetens the stomach and
breath gently stimulates the liver and
regulates the bowels and is much sup
erior to pills and ordinary laxatives

Lax Discipline a Great crime
The national educational association
is in session in Denver this week
Spiritless Teaching wii discussed bj
Supt McNeill of the Memphis city
f caools early in rtie e 3sion While he
charged that sort of teaching as bejng
sufficient and cilculitecl to drive most
auv child to delinquency ho delivered
himself of the following paragraph
which is of special interest to parents
A failure on the part of tbe home
to exercise even and forceful discipline
is a siu which has put the curse of
Cain and the stamp of Satan upon
many a promising bo or girl
When we realize the baneful work
ing of uneven discipline growing out
of weak - willed inefficient parental
government we stand in the presence
of a great problem How can we im
press fathers and mothers and teach
ers witn the idea that weak and vacil
lating government of children blasts
their lives and make them candidates
for the ranks of the ignoble

MISS ANNE MORGAN
The Daughter of J P Morgan and Het
Success as a Speaker
It is not often that the public gets n
glimpse of Miss Anne Morgan daugh
ter of the great financier and art pa
tron J P Morgan Her appearance
recently at the opening of the res
taurant in the Brooklyn navy yard
started by the womans branch of the
National Civic federation was notable
not merely because it afforded the pub
lic a chance to see the daughter of a
king of finance but also because Miss
Morgan made a speech a very excep
tional thing for her It was before a
rather unruly crowd of some flGOO per
sons Preceding speakers Had not ro

ceived polite attention and Miss
Morgans friends were disturbed kst
she might not either But their fear
was uncalled for Though there were
some whiblles and catcalls when she
began to talk when she sat down it
was with the crowd all on her side
and amid a perfect roar of applause
The navy yard restaurant was plan
ned by a committee of the Womans
Civic federation headed by Miss Mor
gan and carried through entirely on
the responsibility of the committee it
self by pernisiou of the government
Its object is to show that men in tV
government employ can be provide1
with good food at a moderate price
The committee of women intends f
prove this by running the rcstnurint
so that it pays expenses for one year
Thfn if they sueeeed the governmen
will rike it over

She told the audience that if the

and if it did succeed it might have

Graphic
Not the Kind He Wanted
Trofessed politicians who have re
duced public office to an exact science
find the independent voter a sad stum
bling block a fact which is ninusinsrly
disclosed by a story found in the life
of the late George Monro Grant the
eminent Canadian educator and clergy
man
Toward the end of Sir John Mardon
alds life he and rrlncipal Grant then
the head of Queens college met at a
dinner at the house of the premiers
brother-in-law Professor Williamson
EEow I wish the premier said to
the principal that you would be a
steady frierd of mine
M3 dear Sir John the principal
replied I have always supported you
when you were right
The premiers eyes twinkled and he
laid his hand upon the shoulder of the
principal
My dear man said he I have no
use for that species of friendship
Greatness Net Fres From Shame
The transcendent power and fame
with which great genius has at differ
ent periods endowed various men do
not always insure them from after
misery and shame This was striking
ly exemplified in the cases of the four
greatest of military conquerors Alex
ander Ilannibnl Caesar and Napoleon
The general judgment of mankind has
conceded them the first place in the
lines of action for which they were
severally distinguished Yet they all
met with melancholy deaths Two of
them suffered for years the keenest
humiliations wbl h a total destruction
of their hopes could bring Two per
ished at the zenith of their power just
as they might have expected a long
enjoyment of the fruits of their tre
mendous achievements Exchange
The Greatest Wealth
Is there any compensation in money
fcr a starved stunted dwarfed mind
Can lands and houses stocks and
bonds pay a man for living a narrow
rutty sordid life How much money
would match the wealth of a trained
mind of unfolded possibilities Is the
capacity for the appreciation of the
meaning of life of the lessons of civi
lization worth no more than ones
bread and butter and roof Can any
one conceive of greater possessions
than an intellect well trained and dis
ciplined than a broad deep full orbed
mind responsive to jjll beauty all
