St. Louis Ropubllc: Jqhann Most will servo at hard labor for one year because of seditious writing. No harder punishment could be imposed on tho ordinary anarchist. Philadelphia Record: The imme diate labor of the ultra-protectionist newspaper is the attempt to explain away President McKinley's Buffalo speech. It is a wearying task. Pittsburg Post: At a matter of fact nine Americans out of ten, native and foreign, excluding British and Scotch,, are in full sympathy with tho Boers. It is difficult to seo how Americans can hold other opinions. Minneapolis Journal: The Wash ington Evening Star has the story of a learned man who drifted from arch aeology into the meat business and made a fortune. People can on a pin'en get along without their archaeology, but they seem to demand their meat. New York World: Russia will spend $50,000,000 on her navy in 1902.

By means of them we ap proach perhaps nearer to the man who was. tho embodiment of purity, unself ishness, and honesty. There is no printed volume devoted to Abraham Lincoln where' anecdotes do not give us glimpses of the man himself. In "Lincoln in Story," edited by Mr. Silas G. Pratt, there aro to be found many stories gleaned from various sources, and the editor adds that "no anecibte is given which has not been fully veri fied." A complete life history of Lin coln is not attempted. Tho stories are, however, arranged in chronologi cal order, and as the salient points of Lincoln's. life are mentioned, the warp is formed on "which tho various anec dotes are woven."" How did Lincoln acquire his educa tion? When, in 1819, his father had settled at Pigeon Creek, in Indiana, and had built a rough log cabin, Abra ham Lincoln went to the village school for a few weeks. During his whole life he never was altogether more than four months at school. 'At Gpn tryville Abraham's father ran up an other log house, and in it there was a big fireplace, and hero tho lad would light a fire. He would "lie down flat on the floor, with his book in front of him, before the hearth, and thus rest ing on his stomach his head upon hia hand, ho would read and study." There was no writing paper. Fortunately there was a large wooden, shovel. On this he would write, using a bit of charcoal. When tho shovel was cov ered over with this copy. Lincoln J would scrape it clean with his knife IT IS A FACT . that poultry pays a larger profit lor mo money invested cnan any other businesei that anybody nfay m&ko a success of It without long training or nrovlous oxtwrfonom that tho ltd table Incubator and Itrnodcra will give tho boat; rcsultsln allcaccs.

John -Hanks, who worked with Lincoln in splitting rails, said: "When Abo and I returned from work, ho would get a piece of corn bread, take a book, and sit down to read while eating; when he had tho chance, in the field or at home, he' would stop and read, always having some useful book with him." One remarkable autograph of Lin coln has been preserved. It was writ ten by himWhon he was fourteen on the leaf of his school book: Abraham Lincoln, his hand and pen, He will be good, but God knows when; The first dollar Lincoln ever earned he remembered and told Mr. Jteward about it. He had built a boat, and two strangers wanted their baggage carried, on board of a steam-boat. It was for this service that the strangers flung him two half dollars. Lincoln added: ' . . "I could scarcely believe my eyes when I picked up tho money. .You may think this a little thing in theso days, and it seems to me now-like a trifle, but it was an important incident in my life. . . . The world seemed wider and fairer before me. I was a hopeful boy from that time." :' Lincoln was the soul of honesty. When he was keeping store, a "poor woman made some small, purchase Making up his sales book he found that he had in error taken 6 cents from , her., That same night 'the young dferlt walked three miles so as to return tho' limn ..... :... A SClENXtEIO BIUEAJKFAST .,. Z Rightly selected food will cure more than half the diseases. Try a scientific and healthy breakfast: Fruit of some kind, preferably cooked; a dish of Grape-Nuts, with cream; two soft boiled eggs. Put two eggs in a tin pint cup of boiling water, cover and set off for nine minutes. Whites will then be the consistency of cream and most easily digested. One slice of- bread with butter; . cup of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. - - On that breakfast you can work like a horse and be perfectly nourisheu un til noon. Your nervous troubles, heart palpitation, stomach and bowel trou bles, kidney complaints and various' other disorders will gradually disap pear and firm solid health will set in. Why? You have probably been liv ing on poorly selected' food, that is food that does not contain the re quired elements the body needs. That sort of food, and coffee, is the direct or indirect cause of more than half tho ills the human body acquires. Grape-Nuts is a perfectly cooked food and both that and the Postum Food Coffee contain flho miscroscopic particles of phosphate of potash' ob tained in a natural way from tho grain's of the field and by scientific food experts incorporated into food and drink. That element joins with the albumen in food to make gray matter, whicli is the fllling'of tho brain colls and the nerve centers all over tho human body. A man or woman thus fed is scien tifically fed and rapidly grows in vigor and vitality, and becomes capable of conducting successfully the affairs of life. To produce a perfect body and a money making brain, the body must have tho right kind of food and the expert food specialist knows how to make it. That is Grape-Nuts and Postum Cereal Food Coffee, produced at tho pure food, factories of tho Pos tum Cereal Co., Ltd., at Battle Creek. J Mich.
