The story of (ho nncestry of Lin
coln, of the revolting hnnlshlps nnd
privations of his childhoo.. rind youth,
of his squalid environment, almost
shock the sense of natural justice,
snys ex-Setiator John J. Ingnlls in
the Snturdny Evening Post. We feel
instinctively that destiny was un
necessarily cruel, harsh and severe.
His great spirit bore the deep scars of
those early struggles to tho grave.
Scurcely any man in the country hnd
a past more depressing or a future
more hopelessly gloom j', desperate
nnd unpromising than Grant at tho
outbreak of the civil war. Henry
Wilson, tho "shoemnker 01 Nntick,"
senator and vice-president, was horn
in a vagrant community of bnsket
makcrs and1 tinkers of unknown pa
ternity. His real name was Jereminh
Colbath and' he took the patronymic
of his patron, Gen. Wilson, who, dis
cerning tho waif's powers, set him in
the pathway of preferment and' re
nown. Morton, the war governor nnd
senator from Indiana, tolu mo the
proudest moment of his life up to the
ngo of 21 was when he mnrched into
his native village at the head of a
band, playing a key buglo while he was
a hatter's apprentice. Garfield' and
Sherid'an, the barefoot boys upon tho
towpaths of the Ohio cannls; AiuItc-w
Johnson, the tailor; Blaine, the coun
try school-teacher; McKinlcy and
Bryan, of humble origin these nnd
many others of smaller fame refute
the instruction; that the ambitious
youth must put money in his purse
before entering public life.
Another remarkable illustration ia
afforded by the life nnd career of Sam
uel Jackson Kandall of Pennsylvania,
whose extraordinary qunlitics and
achievements should have given him
more conspicuous renown, but whoso
fading fame gives new pathos to Jef
ferson's mournful ejaculation, "So
soon forgotten when vfc are gone!"
lie died in possession of an estate val
ued at less than $l,CO0 after 30
years spent in legislation. io tainted
breath dimmed the bright mirror of
Randall's reputation. Twice speaker,
acknowledged lencer of the house and
chairman of the most important com
mittee, he had opportunities for illicit
gains beyond' the dreams oi nvnrice.
Story of Samuel ItuRcrx,
Samuel Rogers, the poet, was one of
the prominent figures in London so
ciety of whom Eabbage, the inventor,
has a good deal to say in his "Passages
from the Life of a Philosopher."
The poet on one occasion spoke of
a disadvantage arising from having
one's windows formed of one largo
Bheet of plate glass a fashion then
only in its infancy. He said that, sit
ting at dinner one day in a friend's
house, with his back to one of these
single panes of plate glass, he fancied
that the window was open, and actual
ly caught cold in consequence.
Uabbage, perfectly aware that tho
unregulated imagination was capable
of playing suicli tricks, hnd taken
measures to keep his own strictly un
der control, and, to the great nmuse
ment of Rogers' guests, he at one-;
capped the poet's story by the fol
lowing: "When I go to a friend's house in
the country nnd unexpectedly rcmnin
for the night, having no nlghtcnp. I
should naturally catch cold. P.ut by
tying a bit of pack thread tightly
round my head I go to sleep imagining
thnt I have a nightcap on; consequent
ly I catcli no cold at all." Ledger

William Scott, of Pittshurch. who han
been brought so prominently hefoic the pub
lic recently through heme Mr. Carnegie's
lawyer in the famous "inulti-inillion-dollar-controversy"
between Frick and Carnegie,
asked one question tooinany the other day.
Everyone interested.in legal affairs knows
how the two millionaires have always con
sulted the same law linn because their in
terests were identical, nnd that when the
split came this firm, of .which Judge Reed,
president' of the LakeKrio railroad, is the
head, refused to take sides with cither client
nnd that new attorneys had to be chosen.
Mr. Carnegie chose Mr. Scott, n brilliant and
well-known Princeton alumnus of the class
of '09, says the Philadelphia Post.
On June 0, nt the opening of Nassau's com
mencement, when Princeton took the base
hall championship from Yale and young
King Scott. Mr. Scott's son, had the honor
of being substitute pitcher for Ilildebrnnd,
Mr. Scott was ninong the favored guests.
Mr. Scott is fond of getting evidence from
people, nnd when a freshman who idolized
King Scott came up to shake hands with the
father after the game Mr. Scott asked him
what he thought was the best thing in col
lege life.
"Athletics, sir." was the freshman's eager
answer. "It's the gi Uest thing of all. It
docs a fellow no end of fcood."
"And why athletics?" insisted Mr. Scott.
"Well, sir," was the answer, "it's just this
way: 1 guess you were a good student here,
Mr. Scott, nnd read a heap of books but
nobody has ever heard of you, and the whole
world knows about King."
The lloxer of China
nre attempting to foIvc a gjgantic problem,
but they nre going about it in the wrong way
and will never succeed. Some people, in
this country, seem to think that they have
as great a puzzle on their hands in selecting
a location for a home. They will certainly
go about it in the wrong way unless they in
spect the beautiful farming country on the
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway in Marinette county, Wisconsin,
where the crops nre of the best, work plenty,
fine markets, excellent climate, pure, soft
water; land pold chenp nnd on long time.
Why rent n farm when you can buy one for
less than vou pay for rent? Address C. E.
Rollins. Land Agent, 101 La Salic St., Chi
cago, HI.

missed nt every shot) "I say, sir, if them
rabbits was n vard or so longer you'd make

DON'T YOU HEAR BABY CRY?
Do you forget that summer's coming with
all its dangers to the little onesall troubles
bred in the bowels.
The summer's heat kills babies and little
children because their little insides are not in
good, clean, strong condition.
Winter has filled the system with bile.
Belching, vomiting up of sour food, rash,
flushed skin, colic, restlessness, diarrhoea or
constipation, all testify that the bowels are out
of order.
If you want the little ones to face the coming dangers with
out anxious fear for their lives, see that the baby's bowels arc
gently, soothingly, but positively cleaned out in the spring lime,
and made strong and healthy before hot weather sets in.
The only safe laxative for children, pleasant to take (they
ask for more) is CASCARETS. Nursing mothers make their
milk mildly purgative for the baby by eating a CASCARET
now and then. Mama eats a CASCARET, baby gets the
benefit. Try it! Send for a JOc box of CASCARETS to-day and you will find that, as we
guarantee, all irregularities of the little and big childrens insides are
