I"LINCOLN'S RESOLVE.
It Wu Made After He Had Heard Staa-
ton In m law Case.
I There is in nil truly great men a mix
ture of Eelf reliance and of humility
two traits that are not so contradictory
as they Beem. Lincoln exhibited both
j traits iu a remarkable degree. His acta
showed the one , Iub rordB frequently
expressed the othc.
An anecdote in McClure's Magazine ,
in an article by Ida M. Tarbell , if we
read it aright , brings out the secret of
this appnrent contradiction. Lincoln's
humility impelled him to the exertion
which gave him his self confidence. The
anecdote narrates the first meeting of
the man who was to be president with
the man who was to be his secretary of
war.
war.Abraham
Abraham Lincoln and Edwin M.
Stanton were employed as counsel on
the same side in a great patent case
which was tried in Cincinnati in 1855.
It was arranged by their clients much
to Lincoln'b disappointment that Stan
ton should make the closing argument.
Lincoln had prepared himself for the
effort with unusual care , but ho ao-
quiesced good naturedly in the decision
which put him in the second place.
Stanton's argument was one of great
force , and Lincoln listened to it with
the closest attention throughout. The
narrator of the incident , Mr. .Ralph
Emerson , says that Mr. Lincoln took a
long walk with him after the court had
adjourned for the day. Mr. Liucolu
was silent a long time. Then ho ox-
claimrd suddenly :
"Emersou , I am going home ! I am
going home to study law. " ,
"Why , "returnedMr. Emerson , "Mr.
Lincoln , yen stand at the head of the
bar in Ilii. ! o nowl Whar are you talk
ing abou :
"Ah , yes. " he said , "I do occupy a
good position there , and I think I can
get along with the way things are done
there now. But these college trained
men , who have devoted their whole
lives to study , are coming west , don 't
yon see ? And they study their cases as
wo never do. They have got as far as
Cincinnati now. They will soon be in
Illinois. "
Another long pause ; then , stopping
and turning toward Mr. Emerson , his
countenance suddenly assuming that
look of strong determination which
those who knew him best sometimes
saw upon his face , he exclaimed :
"I am going home to study law ! I
am as good as any of them , and when
they get out to Illinois I will be ready
for theml"

Botv It All Came About.
It took the little acorn but a few days
to become the spreading oak. Hezekiah
Reubens told his wife in confidence that
• Josh Watkins said he'd like mighty
vell to bey Widow Spilkins * farm.
Mrs. Kenbens ran into Mrs. Blunter's
just to borrow a little baking soda , and
to make her errand less objectionable
told that Josh "Watkins talked of buying
Widow Spilkins' farm , thoughtfully
adding , " 'Twonldn't suppriso mo a bit
ef he would take the widder with the
farm. "
Mrs. Blunter left her baking in the
stove while she threw her shawl over
her head and went through the b'ack
way to Mrs. Penrup's to tell her that
Josh Watkins was going to marry
Widow Spilkins for her property and
to wonder what would become of her
children , giving it as an opinion that
"like as not the widder would have 'em
bound out"
Mrs. Penrup could scarcely wait till
next morning , when she hitched up to
drive over and tell Mrs. Flowerty that J
Josh Watkins was going to marry
Widow Spilkins just to get her property
and that those poor children of hers
were soon to be bound out to any Tom ,
Dick or Harry that would take them.
She thought "Josh a dssignin rascal
and the widow a cruel mother. " |
All this soon reached the ears of Josh
and the widow. They promptly went to
pursuing the story down , and when they
had traced the thing back to its tiny be
ginning were so sympathetically mad
that they met pretty nearly every even
ing to hold indignation meetings. It t
, naturally came about that they were en-
I gaged and just as naturally that they f
were married. Then Mrs. Hezekiah J 1
Boubens and the rest of them had the
nerve to boast that they made the
match. Detroit Ereo Press.
Spark Arresters.
The f-y-u m of spark arrester , accord
ing to a muit writer iu Engineering , ! ,
which is found most efficient iu locomotives - j
tives is , for coal burners , the device
known as the extended smoke box with
straight smokestack , netting , deflecting
plate and spark arrester. While no hpark
arresting arrangement is absolutely effi
cient , the degree of serviceableness of
any such mechanism depends , it is
urged , upon the care with which it is
maintained in good condition. Fine
sparks will be fonud to escape from such
devices even when in the best condition
and coarse sparks necessarily get egress
when anything is in a defective state ,
and while the fine sparks are not of a
dangerous character , the coarse sparks
are. Emphasis is laid especially upon
the care which Ehould be bestowed upon
a locomotive to prevent any portion of
the netting wearing into holes by keep
ing the front end cleaned out.

. COLONIAL DELICACIES.
Thanksgiving Dlshrs That Tickled the
Palate * of Oar Forefathers.
In later days , when the colonies had
just finished the war of the Revolution ,
the Thanksgiving dinner was not con
fined to a consumption of turkey. There
were other dainties considered to be
finer than turkey. The royal roast geese
was a great favorite with the colonial
dames who prided themselves upon
their cookery.
Epicures of the modern school all
know that the delicate flavor of the
prize canvasback duck is duo to the fact
that it feeds largely upon juniper ber
ries , and the colonial ladies displayed
rare knowledge when they flavored the
dressing of the goose with these berries.
Another Thanksgiving dish highly
prized by colonial epicures was ham
baked in cider , and if the same delicacy
were prepared today it might make the
fortune of some ambitious chef. This
is the way it was done a hundred years
ago :
Wipe a whole ham clean and put in
a baking pan , skin side down and over
the flesh side sprinkle one-half a teaspoonful -
spoonful each of pepper , cloves and all
spice and one-quarter of a teaspoonful of
mace and cover all with a little onion
juice. Into the bottom of the pau put a
sprig cf celery , two bay leaves and a
slice of onion. Pnt a cup of flour in a
bowl and add sufficient water to make
a paste , cover the ham with the. paste
as far down as the skin and then turn
into the pan two quarts of cider. Put
in a hot oven and cook for 3 hours ,
basting every 15 minutes. When cooked ,
take off the crust , turn over and take eff
the ekiu and put in another pan with
the fat side up. Brush over with a beat
en egg , sprinkle with chopped parsley
and bread crumbs and bake in a hot
oven for one hour , when it will be ready
to 661170. San Francisco Examiner.
Boiled Turkey.
Many old fashioned cooks and some
of the new fashioned consider that the
proper way to cook a turkey is to boil
it. To do this singe , draw and wash the
turkey thoroughly , wipe with a eoft
cloth and rub the inside with salt. Make
a stuffing cf one quart of bread crumbs ,
a tablespoonful of butter , salt , pepper
and chopped parsley and mix the in
gredients together with an egg. Fill the
breast of the fowl with some of this
stuffing and put the remainder into the
body. Tie the legs and wings close to
the body and place it in salted boiling
water with the breast downward. Boil
rapidly the first half honr , then draw it
to the back of the stove and cook slowly
until tender. Serve with celery or chest
nut sauce. If oysters chopped are used
in the stuffing , serve with an oyster
sauce. An old fashioned custom was to
serve ham or smoked tongue with a
boiled turkey. Exchange.
Dr. IJepew Favors Southern Cooking.
Chauncey Depew actually licked his
chopB when asked abont his Thanksgiv
ing dinner. "Give me , " he said , "a
bird from my Hudson river farm cool-ed „
by an old mammy from Virginia. No
one but a southern darky can cook a
tnrkey. A colored woman knows how
to spice up the animal until it tastes
like a drop of sweet nectar , and she un
derstands getting it rich and done. Give
me ole mammy's cooking every time.
Wo used to have an old mammy so lazy
she wouldn't move , but when it came
to Thanksgiving time she'd reuse her
self and cook a turkey to the taste of
the queen , or to my own taste quite as
critical a one. " Selected.
A Reminder of the Fathers.
Thanksgiving day comes with its an
nual reminder of the fathers , who in
the midst of their poverty and distress
thanked God for their blessings and had
hope for the future. It is the self sacri
fice of one generation that constitutes
the prosperity of the next. The rock f
Plymouth is no stony bowlder to bo
shielded from rough contact by a mar
ble canopy. It is rather a sure faith in
the supreme obligations of duty and of
personal character as the main element
of durable success. Independent.
Thanksgiving Bounty.
One of the benign results of the ob-
servance of Thanksgiving day is the en-
conragement it gives to public benevo
lence. While it is a day set apart for
Jhe acknowledgment of national , family |
and personal blessings , every American' '
is taught from childhood that on this s
day he must share the loaf , feed the i
hungry and give ear to the cry of dis- . - :
tress. The significance of the day is lost <
to those who appropriate it solely for. K
personal gratification and selfish enjoy-1

A Thanksgiving Thought. j
There is something lacking in the !
sincerity of the man who goes into the [ *
temple on Thanksgiving day to acknowledge - ; <
knowledge the good gifts of Providence ' >
to him if he has done nothing through
the year or on this day to uplift his fellows - ' *

hearts and to distribute in some measure

trust for the benefit of the helpless son. = '
