Stnto Superintendent Lnno has issued
the following circular to the public
schools of the state : The people of the
present ago have rcnhzed thu importance
of forest culture. Nebraska lias taken
the lend in Una movement and her legis
lature has made Arbor Day , the 22nd of
April , a legal holiday. Thu governor by
proclamation has called the attention of
the people of this state to the observance
of this day and urged them to celebrate
it in thu planting of trees. It is a day
When the pupils of our public schools
Bhould bo educated to care for the ma
terial prosperity of the country nnd to
foster the growth of trees. Let
teachers , parents nnd school
olliccrs , urge nnd encourage
the children in every school district ,
town and citv in the state to plant trees
on that day in the school yard. Let thn
child understand that ho has a special
interest in thu tree lie plants : that it is
bis ; that upon him devolves the responsi
bility of protecting and cultivating it in
coming years. In every yard there
should bo system nnd regularity in ar
ranging the trees , and in cities' and
towns they should bo planted according
to artistic designs. The school yards of
thu slatu beautified with trues would ed
ucate the ( usthctic taste of the children
nnd bo a material blcssinc to the coun
try. I therefore earnestly recommend
that every district and school in the
state engage in the observation of Arbor
lay. Let tiio opportunity bo improved
to educate the rising generation to in
crease the beauty , hoalthfulnuss and fer
tility of the state and especially ornament
the school grounds where the children
epond so many days.
roou FAIUI KIOURES.
For the lirst time in many months there
is on lilc with the county commissioners
a statement from tbo poor farm showing
what Lancaster county has on its excel
lent farm and what it produces , and fur
ther , what it costs to keep the poor of Iho
county. Ono year ago there was on the
farm 00 head of cattle , 80 head of hogs ,
7 head of horses and mules. On March 1
there were 01 head of cattle , 05 head of
hogs and nine horses and mules. There
was raised on the farm the past year
8,000 bushels of corn , 200 bushels of
wheat , 100 bushels of rye , 250 bushels of
potatoes. With all this stock nnd this
crop raised it took $3,349.30 cash in addi
tion to maintain the farm and the average -
ago number ot paupers cared for during
the year was twenty-four. Business men
and farmers as well can figure for thorn-
solves upon this outlay for keeping
twenty-four people and judge whether H
little reform is not necessary and whether
the county commissioners arc successful
as farmers to the pooplo.
AT THE STATE HOUSE.

has filed a complaint with the railroad
commission asking that body to require

WRITTEN ON HIS KNEE.
How Abraham Lincoln Composed Ills
Celebrated Gettysburg Orntlnn.
"I saw ono of the most splendid of
compositions in the English tongue
written , " said ox-Congressman Edward
Mcl'horson , while talking about some of
Ins recollections of Lincoln recently ,
1 believe that it is admitted now by schol-
urn that for sublimity of thought , sim
plicity and yet elegance of expression ,
lucidity and purity' diction , Mr. Lin
coln's brief oration at the dedication of
the national cemetery at Gettysburg
takes place with thu loftiest specimens of
oratory. Many regard it as the one oration
tion of this century that will bo preserved
with the English tonguo. Yet Mr. Lin
coln wrote it on his knco in n railroad
car. it was practically an extempora
neous composition ; that is , in the sense
that it was wholly unpremeditated. lie
simply committed to paper the thought
that WBH uppermost in his mind , and ho
had no idea whatever that ho had written -
ton anything more than a passing thought
in the event that ho was to assist in com
memorating.
" 1 represented the Gettysburg district
in congress at the time of the battle , and
and at the dedication of the cemetery
Mr. Lincoln was my guest , ilo was not
sure that ho could be present when ho
was first asked , but said that ho should
go to Gettysburg if possible ! . I think ho
was not prepared tosay positively that he
would go until A very few hours before
the time sot for leaving Washington. So
ho could not have given any thought to
the oration before. I was his seat mate
in the car , nnd though ho talked pleas
antly , nnd spoke of the country through
which we were passing , yet I thought he
was laboring with one of those spells ot
profound melancholy with which ho was
at times aillictod. Ho spoke of Mr. Ev-
crott , who was to deliver the chief oration
tion , and said that Everett ought to be at
his best. I knew that Mr. hvcrctt had
given even moru than his usual cara in
preparing this oration , nnd looked upon
his work as a masterpiece , and I behove
1 told Mr. Lincoln so , and he said that
the theme was great enough to inspire
such nn orator as Everett to his best. Mr.
Lincoln , I think , had not thought of say-4
ing anything himself , but 1 told him that
ho would bo expected to make a few re
marks , for it would not bo permitted.him
to bo silent. He bat for some moments
absorbed in thought , and at last began
to feel in his pockets , as if for loose pa
per. I asked him if ho wanted paper and
pencil , and ho said , "Yes , a scrap of pa
per , " and I opened my valise and gave
him two or three sheets of note paper.
He drew up his long knees , and putting
a book on them , wrote , jotting down , as
I supposed , n few heads or suggestions.
He wrote right iilong , without hesitation
or erasure , and tilled ono page and a part
of another. Then ho folded it up nnd
put it in his pocket , simply saying that
ho had sot down n few lines that had oc
curred to him to say.
"At the cemetery , at the proper time ,
ho arose , put on.his spectacles , nnd drew
these sheets from his pocket. I do not
think ho had looked nt them again after
writing thorn in the cars , and in a low
voice , which could bo heard but a few
feet away from the stage , ho read those
splendid lines. The few who hoard him
were most profoundly impressed , but
upon the vast throng who saw him the
oration made no impression whatever
because few hoard it. No proper report
of the oration was madp.ana Mr. Lincoln
crumpled the manuscript up and would
very likely have thrown it away if I had
not asked him for it. It was not until it
had boon printed in thu newspaper and
then widely copied that its wonderful
beauty , both in thought and literary
workmanship , was recognized , and Mr.
Lincoln was very much surprised to
learn that scholars were quoting it as the
best model of pure English and pure elo
quence the language had furnished , at
least in America. "
There is no doubt , according to Mr.
McPhcrson , and others who know Lin
coln well , that ho was very greatly
gratified witii the evidence that no re
ceived in the last years of his life that
scholars and cultivated writers were pay
ing the highest tribute to his charms as a
writer of English. But he was even moro
surprised at it. Ho knew that cultivated
men , even after his debates with Douglas
nnd after his first inaugural , wore of
opinion that he was utterly without
other literary powers than those of a good
stumo speaker. Ho was believed to bo
a man of strong character , but
wholly without literary polish , and it
was generally believed that such polish
as his greatest speeches , such as that de
livered in Cooper institute in tbo winter
of 1860 revealed , was the woric of some
cultivated friends or skillful secretaries.
Ho hud advanced far in his first term
before his literary abilities began to bo
admitted by scholars , but his second in
augural , a very hastily written composi
tion and the Gettysburg oration brought
the long delayed tributes. Ono of his
historians points out that long before
Mr. Lincoln had moro titan a focal re
pute ho had given proof of great literary
abilities. The historian quotes Lincoln's
speech made while in congress in 1818 on
the subject of the Mexican war and
says : "With this speech on record it is
strange that the genuine literary abilities
of thu man were so long and persistently
ignored by literary people. There were
men who voted for him for the presi
dency moro than twelve years afterward
twelve years of culture and develop
ment to htm who were surprised to Und
his messages grammatically constructed ,
and who SMSpected the intervention of a
secretary whenever any touch of elegance -
ganco appeared in his writings. " Mr.
McPherson says that there were men of
cultivation who seemed dumfounded
when some of Mr. Lincoln's speeches
were given to them to read to refute their
assertion that ho was an illiterate boor ,
and some of these could not-believe that
Mr. Lincoln could , or did write these
speeches.
Governor Hill has again aroused the
