"Now, sonny, keep that pledge and
it will be the best act of your life."
So spoke a man called "Abe" Lin
coln to a boy named Cleopas Breck
enridge in Illinois in 1846. Other old
people besides Breckenridge still live
in Illinois who testify to these facts:
That Lincoln came on horseback to
the South Fork school house In San
gamon county, made a temperance
speech, took a paper from his pocket
and invited everybody to sign a total
abstinence pledge. Moses Martin,
now of Edinburg, Illinois, committed
Lincoln's pledge to memory. Howard
II. Russell, of Westerville, Ohio, the
founder of the Anti-Saloon League,
discovered these facts. And so he
has started the Lincoln Legion.
The Lincoln Legion Is a Sunday
school movement. It Invites the
members of the school to enroll with
Lincoln as pledged abstainers. But
it does not stop there. Russell's idea
is that, backed by the Sunday schools,
the Lincoln Legion will go to the
factories, the shops and the foun
dries, to the street corners and the
cross roads, into tents and taber
nacles, and into "the highways and
hedges" to persuade everybody for
good and sufficient reasons to quit
drinking intoxicating liquor.
This movement began a while ago
at Oberlin, Ohio. The national head
quarters is at Westerville, Ohio. On
Lincoln's birthday, Sunday, February
12th, many Sunday schools through
out the whole country will hold a
Lincoln service and begin the nation
wide Lincoln Legion movement. This
Lincoln service will be held in the
Sunday school of, the Methodist
church In this city. Stirring words
by Lincoln and about Lincoln will be
spoken, and , the pledge written,
signed, advocated and kept to the day
of his death by Lincoln will be signed
by all who desire to do so. An inter
esting feature of the service will be
the unveiling of a beautiful colored
picture by the great artist Arthur I.
Kellar, entitled "Lincoln Pledging
Cleopas Breckenridge." Relatives
and friends of the Sunday school
scholars are invited to be present and
take part in the service.

KEEP MIRJ1BS OFF
That the democrats In the Nebras
ka legislature should keep their
hand3 off the Canadian reciprocity
proposition, and allow the democrats
In congress to work it out to the best
of their ability, is the opinion of
Judge W. D. Oldman cf Kearney,
which he gave to a World-Herald re
porter in Omaha, yesterday.
"To my mind it would be a serious
mistake for the Nebraska legislature
to pass a resolution asking the Ne
braska delegation in congress to op
pose reciprocity with Canada, on the
theory that an. injury might be done
to some of the products of our state
If it is passed," says Judge Oldham.
"How can we ask congress to reduce
the tariff on coal, and iron, and lum
ber, and the many other products
which we need, and on which a reduc
tion In price would be a benefit to the
whole country?
"Our democratic members of the
legislature should take a broad view
of this matter, and take no action
that might hamper or embarrass our
next democratic congress. Just be
cause a republican congress is now
proposing to pass a reciprocity law Is
no reason why our democratic con
gressmen should not support It, if it
Is right, and in their Judgment, as ex
pressed at their caucus it 13 right, and
In line with the contention of the
democratic party for these many
years. I hope that the democrats in
the legislature will see to it that the
pending resolution condemning the
reciprocity bill is defeated."

same work in other cases. Read this:
J. B. Patridge, 8th street, Platts
mouth, Nebraska, says: "I suffered
almost constantly from pains across
my loins and kidneys and at times I
was in a bad way. On several occa
sions I was so badly crippled that I
could only get about with the aid of
two cane3. The contents of the first
box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
from Rynott & Co's drug store,
helped me so greatly that I continued
taking the remedy and It brought me
entire relief. It would be impossible
for me to speak too highly of Doan's
Kidney Pills."
The above statement was given in
June, 1906, and on December 29,
1908, Mr. Patridge said: "I still en
dorse Doan's Kidney Pills highly. I
willingly verify the statement I gave
over two years ago in their favor."
