He said, “I will tell you some : king that may be of use to you nereafter. Never try a young man with an old jury, nor an old nan with a young jury. An old nan and a young man have no uterest in common nor any sym ■ athy for each other. The old nan would say the young scrape i. race ought to be punished on i.eneral principles, while the outig man would say the old efirobate was old enough to now better and deserves pun -liment for that reason.” I have since, from actual ex 1 erience, come to know that his stimate of human nature in the , articular mentioned, is toler ably correct as a rule, but like .11 other rules, general or other ise, is subject to exception. It shows however, how thoroughly e was acquainted with the emu i onal life of humanity, and the ain common sense use he made . r it on all proper occasions. I am not writing the history >r the biography of the great •esident. On this day all over :his nation and all over the orld, much will be said on the ostrurn, in the pulpit, in the columns of newspapers, and . ound the firesides of the peo e about his wondrous career, :.nd his tragic history, but it « oes not come in my way to tell ; ie oft told story, of his obscure igin. of his struggle out of or ■ lanage and poverty, for I have ot the slightest notion that Mr. Lincoln ever in all his life . It that he was poor, or that any other man was better than re, or that he ever felt that he as at a disadvantage in any presence. Let me illustrate again. A client once asked him to go to Washington and transact a • ece of business for him. Mr. Lincoln listened to what it was, .. id then told him to go to the capitol and look after the busi ness himself, saying, “you don’t reed me.” “But”, says the cli < it, “I can’t cope with those big men: they will be too much for r e." “Never mind that" said Lincoln, “you can do just as well as 1 can; go to the capitol, hunt up the proper officer, tell him what you want and you will get probably what you are en titled to: and you will find when you rub up against those fellows over there that they are no big u er than you are.” He lia00 from my state to assist in building that beautiful struc ture. “Then." said Mr. Power, “You are from Nevada, 1 pre sume.” I said “No, I am from Nebraska.” “We never got any money from Nebraska,” was his reply. “Are you certain of that?” I said. “I am,” said he. “The only state to give $.'>00 was Nevada.” Then I said, “There is something wrong, for I am as certain the appropria tion was made and that I voted for it. as I am certain of my own existence.” It was arranged be tween us that I would go home and examine the record, and that he would have the associa tion do likewise with their re cord and clear up the mystery. On my arrival home l exam ined the session laws for 1 HI>0, and 1 found the act as i remem bered it, and without waiting to hear from Mr. Power. I wrote a letter to the auditor of the state and asked him what had “become of that appropriation. In due time I received his reply saying it had never been drawn against, but had lapsed back into the treasury under constitutional provision. That relieved me greatly, and 1 notified Mr. Pow er accordingly. I had been told by that gentleman later on that the association was in as much need of the money then as it ever had been, and would be greatly pleased if the legislature would reappropriate it. This was in the fall of 1882, and a new legis lature would lie elected in No vember. and 1. wrote Mr. Power to have the monumental associ ation certify the fact of the need of the money with matter of de tail, and 1 would see jvhat could be done. I wrote a letter to Hon. ('. H. Gere, editor of the State Jour nal, and who had been a mem ber of that same legislature that made the appropriation, giving the facts of my strange discov ery and asking him to take the matter up in his paper and re commend a reappropriation of the money. He did so, and when the legislature met in Jan uary, 1883, I prepared a bill pre ceded by a preamble reciting the history of the matter, reap propriating the same amount and for the same purpose, and Hon. R. E. Grinstead, a member of the House from Richardson County introduced it and it promptly passed, and Governor Dawes, in my presence, drew the money and transmitted it to its destination. It had all been brought about by Gov. David Hutler forgetting to draw and send tin* money. Had I not gone to the grave of Mr. Lincoln, and made the I casual remark I did. the people ! of Nebraska might have always | believed they had assisted in I honoring the memory of their i loved and lost president, and would have been always as sure ly mistaken. It may have been and probably was, a mere acci dent. but I don’t know. MARKET LETTER From Our Regular Kansas City Stock Yard Correspondent Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. 8, 1909. Cattle receipts here last week were 38,000, about 5000 head more than during the previous week. Liberal receipts at Chicago after Monday, and great weakness there, caused a depression of 15 to 25 cents on steers here up to Friday, but the week closed with some signs of strength. Cows and butcher grades held more nearly steady, calves advanced 25 to yo cents, and stockers and feeders closed the week a shade lower than the close of previous week. The greatest loss on steers was on the more expensive kinds, as buyers were reluctant bidders when asked to look at anything worth $6 or more. Top steers early in the week brought St).ho, but while nothing good enough to test prices was here after Wednesday, the limit at the end of the week would have been around SO.35. Supply of cattle today is 13,000 head, market steady on steers, and strong to a shade higher on cows and stockers and feeders. Urgent warnings were sent out against heavy marketing this week ac count of the enfeebled state of trade which successfully held file run down to a moderate fig ure today. Bulk of beef steers now sell at *5.25 to SO. 15, heifers S3 to $5.50, cows $2.75 to $4.80, bulls S3 to $4.05, calves $3.50 to $6.75, stockers $3.40 to S5.20, feeders $4.50 to S5.25. Not as many half fat steers have gone into feed lots from here in the last week as heretofore. Hog run last week was 70,000 head, and the market made a gain of 10 cents during the week. A feature of the week was acti vity of buyers Wednesday and thereafter balance of the week, and the advance in prices here almost up to the basis ruling at Chicago. Run is 17,000 bead here today, market 10 to 15 lower, top$. 10, pigs $4.50 to $5*:!5. The run continues about 25 uer cent under this period a year ago, and prices have made a steady gain each w’eek since the first ot the year, amounting to 50 cents net per cwt.

Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind THE REPUBLIC S" CREW | -— : Some 200 Wives And Children Give Them Home Greeting New York, Feb. 9. That hus bands and lathers have just been restored to M wives and 189 children at the homes of the sea men and stokers ot the sunken steamship "Republic’’ in Liver pool was reported at llie head quarters of the American Sea men's Friend Society in this city today. This census of the home folks who so narrowly escaped becoming widowed and father less was taken when over a hun dred of these shipwrecked sea farers Hocked from the “Baltic" to the new Seamen’s Institute here, sick, half naked, penniless and barefoot. Only by qnick application of an emergency fund of some twelve hundred dollars were they aide to send them on their home voyage, clothed and shod, the officers of the society declare. No shipwreck in the present generation has demanded such immediate and extensive meas ures for relief as that of this big ocean liner, it is asserted by ex pert workers of this seamen’s organization which has for eighty years succored stranded survivors of ocean disasters in forty of the principal ports of the world as well as in this city. While a thousand dollars was spent by them during the year 190 to set on their feet the vic tims of coast wrecks about this port, they say, more than this same sum was required in one night to provide tue men of this one ship's stoke hole and fo* castle with the clothes to their back. Only by the fortunate chance that its !?300,000 Sea men’s Institute had just been opened and by the instant con tributions of scores of its friends here was the society able to re lieve the crowds of shivering seamen, who came trooping to its doors from this shock of the seas that had left them without money or employment in a for eign harbor. To tit America’s chief seaport with a ready refuge lor such stranded outcasts of the ocean, the officers of the American Sea men’s Friend Society have today decided to appeal to the people oi every section of the iand for a fund to be devoted to just such emergencies as the sinking of the “Republic. '* In every town in the country they believe the families and friends of seafaring sons will readily lend a hand to ward providing means to in stantly succor the victims of fu ture great sea tragedies. Where established Red Cross and re lief organizations make the shores of other countries thor oughly prepared to care for large companies of stranded sailors, America is today sadly unprepared, they believe the re cent wreck ot the “Republic” has shown, Notice to Non-Resident Defendants IN rill DISTRICT < OURT * >1 UK H- * ARDSON i OCN I V, NI.IU! \SK \ I Mon-- I ittlfii* k. riaintill v S Allan K Bo-wersox.

Auctioneer LUNCH ON GROUNDS GEO B HOLT, Clerk Deposit Insurance There is a lot of talk about “Deposit Insurance," and it lias many advocates, and just as many enemies. For the Government to go into the insurance business is to put all banks on the same basis, and render ability and honesty unnecessary, says the opponent. If the Government stands back of the batik insuring its deposits, this feature invites reckless banking, and there would soon be lots of trouble. On the other hand, to have all deposits insured by the Government would render financial things more stable, prevent runs, panics, pip, bots, cholera, baldness, nervous prostration, etc., the advocates of the system inform us. So there you are. You de posit your money and take your choice, or take your choice and de posit your money, it don't matter which. So far as this bank is con cerned, all its deposits have been insured for a long time. The character, standing and stability of our officers and stockholders provide the best kind of insurance for deposits, and we offer these n perfect confidence to a careful and discriminating public.
