President Lincoln altogether abolished
the Idea In the minds of some good
old southern families. This was clear
ly demonstrated by the 'will of an
aged woman who died recently In
southern Maryland. Before the war
there had been many slaves In the
family, and at the time of her death
three old black mammies still re
mained of the once large number.
Her goodness to her old servants was
repaid by a lifetime of devotion. They
swore never to leave her, and she In

During her last Alness she made a

Each of her children got a barrel of
pork, a cow, ten bushels of wheat and

hausen -was suddenly blinded in a dra
matically tragic manner in the pulpit
of his church at Glimte, near Schoen
beck. In his sermon on Sunday evening
he fulminated against the socialists,
declaring that the curse of God would
