Now we are en gaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. ^ It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hal low, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated Here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take in creased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full mea sure of devotion: that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain: that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. LINCOLN HAPPY WITH MARY TODD Reports That the Great President and His Wife Were Incompati ble Are Without Truth. Accord ing to One Who Knew Them Well. THERE are Stories, soiae of them written into the biographies of the martyred president, that the married life of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln was unhappy. These stories go so far as to say that when the wedding day cniue around— they fix the date in 1*40—the guests arrived and the bride appeared iu her finery, but the groom remained away; 'hat finally, when they did marry. Mary Todd accepted Lincoln and “mar ried him in a spirit of pique and petty spite to wreak vengeance on him through their married life:" while with Mary Todd Lincoln, as She Appeared in the White House. Lincoln it was a case of a “willing sac rifice." “A cruel fiction," Henry B. Rankin calls this in his book. “Personal Recol lections of Abraham Lincoln." Mr. Rankin was a schoolboy who acted as court messenger at Peters burg, 111., while his father was sheriff, when he first met Mr. Lincoln, then a rising young lawyer. Later he was a student in the Lincoln and Herndon law office in Springfield, admitted to the family circle. The picture of Mary Todd which Mr. Bankin draws is a charming one Though not beautiful, she was decided ly pretty, he says, with clear blue eyes which looked through one, and a mo bile face which was responsive to her every thought. She was easily the belle of Springfield (luring her resi dence there with a married sister, her , own home being in Lexington. Ky. Her j family objected to Lincoln because of his humble parentage and his poverty, and their engagement was broken off. but two years later Mary Todd defied the family opposition and wedded the man of her choice. Mrs. Lincoln was not only attractive, but she was cultured. Mr. Iiankin says, and throughout her married life, at least until tin tragedy of the assassi nation. she kept up her French read ing and other literary pursuits. Hers I was a keen political perception : amounting t<* almost prevision, too, and her advice was that most carefully weighed by Liucoln in his political and public affairs. All the world knows that when Lin j coin received the news of his nomina tion lie said; "There is a little woman over on Eighth street who is deeply in terested in this news; i will carry it to j her." and he left his cheering, con gratulating friends to hurry to his home. Not so well known is the fact j that the happiest person in Springfield | was Mrs. Lincoln, and that she never closed her eyes that night, for fear she would miss some of the town's joy over tlte honor done its brilliant son. Mrs. Lincoln's terrible sorrow on the death of the martyr drove her abroad—“the loneliest of all the wives widowed by tile Civil war"—and she [ was allowed to spend the last years of her life “amid chilling neglect and misrepresentation," Mr. Itankin says, but he adds that when history shall reflect the truth, tn time to come if it is not already here, “she will be awarded the recognition iter merits have always deserved. Till then" she can wait; for. like her liushaud, she , belongs to the ages." \ _ Tributes to Lincoln. “A man of great ability, pure pa triotism, unselfish nature, full of for giveness to his enemies, bearing malice j toward none, he proved to lie the man above all others for the great strug gle through whieX the Nation had to pass to place itself among the great est in the family of nations."—U. S. Grant. "To him. more than to any other man. the cause of the Union and lib- ( erty is indebted for its final triumph." j —Rutherford B. Hayes. "He was one of the few great rulers whose wisdom increased with his pow er. and whose spirit grew gentler and tenderer as his triumphs were multi plied."—James A. Garfield. I “In the broad common-sense way in i which he did small things, he was i larger than any situation in which life ■ had placed him.”—Benjamin Harrison. How They Compromised. In liis law practice Lincoln diseour- , aged his neighbors who wished to go to law. One day a farmer drove in to j get a divorce. He had built a frame house and wished it painted white. His [ wife wanted it brown. There had been I an agrument and then there had been ! trouble. Mr. Lincoln said to him ; “You have not lived with this wom an all these years without learning that there is such a thing as a com promise. Go back home; think no more of this divorce for a mouth. Then come to me again.” In a month the farmer returned. “Mr. Lincoln,” said he, “we have agreed on a compromise. We are going to have the house paint ad brown.” LINCOLN EVER KIND Tenderness of Heart Evinced at Times When He Was Under the Greatest Stress. LET me present another aspect of Lincoln's many-sided charac ter. During the momentous week when Gram was hammer ing at the gates of the Confederate capital, the president, feeling in every filter of his being that the end was near, took passage for City Point, in order that with his own eager eyes, weary with long watching, he might see the last act in the drama of war— and, I doubt not. that he might check any overt and unseemly act. should occasion require, writes Johnson Brig ham. state librarian of Iowa, in the Youth's Companion. Late one afternoon, while he was resting from his writing on the gun boat River Queen, he observed several little kittens, hardly able to stand, blindly crawling about the flew. He For Some Time He Watched Their j Movements. lifted them tenderly to his desk, and for sometime watched their move- i meats, as if pondering the greatest of all problems—the mystery of life. See- \ mg a loosening film over the eye of one of the kittens, he carefully wiped it away with his handkerchief, and ; as he plnced the little fellow on the j floor again, said gently. “There, little one. I've done for you what even your mother couldn't do.” As I have time and again recalled tc my mind that incidental use of the word "mother,” 1 have thought that at that moment there must have come tc the president some recollection of the delicate, hard-worked woman who had toiled and struggled for her soli, and who yet in her poverty felt that she could do so little for him. What the 1 word “mother” meant to this man car be inferred from his oft-quoted saying to a friend: “All that I am. or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother—bless- j ings on her memory!” Things Lincoln Said. If you intend to go to work there is no better place than right where you are. I have chauged m.v mind. I don’t i think much of a man who is not wiser ! today titan he was yesterday. By a course of reasoning Euclid proves that all the angles In a triangle are equal to two right angles. Now, if you undertook to disprove that proposition would yon prove it false by calling Euclid a liar?—Cirele Maga zine No sick headache, sour stomach, biliousness or constipation by morning. Get a 10-cent box now. . , Turn the rascals out—the headache, biliousness, indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases—turn them out to-night and keep them out with Cascarets. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stom ach. Don’t put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach; remove the sour fermenting food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison in the boweis. Then you will feel great. I A Cascaret to-night straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver and bowel action for months. Chil dren love Cascarets because they never gripe or sicken. Adv.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the ability to correct sterility in the cases of many women. This fact is well established as evidenced by the following letter and hundreds of others we have published in these coiums. Poplar Bluff, Mo.—“I want other women to know what a blessing Lydia E. Pinkham s Vege table Compound has been to me. We had always wanted a baby in our home but I was in poor health and not able to do my work. My mother and hus band both ursred me to try Lydia E.
