retary of war In a . later cabinet,
and Dr. Charles A. Leale, a pbyat
rlari of New Tork City, living at No. 4
Madlaon avenue. The late John Hay waa

whose name has been affixed to noma of

largely to- Dr ' LeAtfs pfompt attention
that Abraham Lincoln did not expire im

Feb. 13th, Bp'clock
he did not the rtrlcken man fall for
ward from the rocking chair In whtch he
was seated. But he had heard the ahot
and a moment later he heard the agonised
cry of Mrs Uncoln for help.
P.ealliirg that the president had been
injured. If not killed.' Dr. Leale forced his
way through the excited throng and Into
the flag-draped box. out of whtch Booth
only a moment before had leaped to tha
stage flourishing a dagger and paualng
only for hia melodramatic cry of '81c
semper tyrannis!"
When the aurgeon reached the aide of
Mr. Lincoln ho found her aupporting the
head of the dying man. He relieved her
of that task and at once took charge ot
the ettuation. at Mia. Lincoln' request
Placing his patient prone upon his back
on the floor of the box. tt-e Burgeon made
a careful examination arid then removed
the clot from tha bullet around m the back
of Mr. Lincoln a head, relieving thu the
pressure on the brain.
One of the flrat to reach tha presidential
box from the stage waa I .aura Keen a. tha
actresa, who had been playing a star part
In the comedy, "Our American Cousin.
She begged that she might be permitted
to pillow the head ef the wounded preal
dent upon her lap. The aurgeon demurred
at first lest the slightest movement might
hasten death, but, after having made
more thorugh examination of the wound,
he assisted Miss Kcene, and. as ahe eat
upon the floor, the president's head waa
gently lifted In such a way as to cause no
shock and was rested on her lep. There It
remained until tender hands carried tha
patient across Tenth atreet to the house
opposite the theater, which by the merest
chance was destined to become tha set
ting for the final scene In a great career.
The Vteaaaval.
"'My first thought, said Dr. Leale, re
calling the memories of the night, 'wss
to get the president to some place of safety.
All of us thought there wss plot to blow
up the theater and we felt that the mine
might be fired at any moment. One of the
first things I said after having made a
superficial examination waa. 'Hi wound is
mortal; he cannot recover." Two other
physicians. Dr. Taft and Dr. H. E. A. King,
had come to my assistance, and the preal
dent waa carried acroaa tha street. Several
army officers and soldier with drawn
swords went in advance of us and cleared
the way. The president was carried up to
the second floor and placed on a bed. On
account of hi great stature, for he waa lx
feet four lnchea tall, Mr. Lincoln waa laid
on tha bed diagonally.
"On our way over I waa twice obliged to
relieve the pressure on the patient'a brain
by again removing the clot. Mr. Lincoln
was shot at 10:30 o'clock and lived until
7:2) the next morning. Before hia death the
cabinet officers had time to assemble, and
he died with his family at his bedside. A
his spirit paaaed away I waa holding hia
right hand."
As Dr. Leale said thla he took the hand
of the writer In a firm but gentle grasp
and illustrated bow he had held hla Index
finaer on the pule of the radial artery
until It had ceaeed to beat.
Much that had occurred during thoae
nine houra while the prealdent' life was
slowly ebbing Dr. Leale hold of too aacred
memory to repeat even now for publication.
Much that he hlmaelf did during thoee
crucial hour he la too modest to repeat
teat he be thought by some who do not
know him to be indulging In peraonal ex
ploitation. It was only at the urgent re
quest of hi colleague of tha Military
Order of the Loyal Legion that he finally
consented to read a paper at a recent me
morial dinner of that organisation at Del
raonlco'a, embodying at aome, length hia
reeollectkxia of the nation' tragedy. .
Othera have told, however,' of tha prea-
ence of mind, skill and efficiency wK.i
whtch Dr. Leale atood to bla poet from
the flrat moment to the last throughout
tha ordeal. Amid the confusion ef the
emptying theater aad the ever present
dread of some further calamity he coolly
examined hia llluatrloua patient and mad
hi prognoale; he arranged for- the re
moval to a private houa without unnec
essary delay; he dee patched the meaeen-
gers that soon brought hurrying to the
deathbed the aon. Robert, then a captain
In tha army, and Mr. Lincoln favorite
clergyman also.
As one of the surgeons who had been
la attendance. Dr. Leal had a prominent
place during the funeral aervtcea In tha
White House and at tha oapttoL stand
ing cloae to the bead of the casket while
the body of the prealdent lay In a Lata
In tha funeral proceaalon h roda In the
carriag immediately preceding the cata
falque, attired, ef course, in hla uniform
aa a aurgeon ot the army. Ha baa never
worn that particular uniform alnoe, .
The aword which formed part ef hla
equipment, its hilt knotted wit a bow of
black crepe, waa laid away and haa never
been donned since that day.
Dr. Leale keepa it In a cabinet la hie
home in Madlaon avenue among tha relic
of a buay life. Tenderly, almost rever
ently, he took It from Ita re ting ptac
and ahowed It to the writer. Ita acabard
aomewhat tarnlehed by til year M Ita
hrunken. crumpled bow of mourning
crepe yet drooping from the hilt where
he bound it on the morning when h had
followed hi chieftain to the tomb.
Plaster t'Ml ef Llaewla'e Head.
From another cabinet Dr:' Leal took a
plaster caat of the hand of Lincoln, mad
during the preatdent'e life. It ahowed a
remarkable hand. Strength waa written
there in every line ef thoae corded atnewe
and firmly clinched digit. "The aame
hand." waa Dr, Leale' comment, 'that
apllt the ralla In hia rugged pioneer day
and that Inacrlbed later fn the year of
hi fullne that strong, but dslical
chlrograpby In which he penned hi
famoua public documenta; the hand that
wrote the emancipation proclamation free
ing the slave. "
Laying the plaater rep Ho carefully back
in Ita caa. the surgeon pointed put the
framed picture hanging aa tha wall ef
hia library copy of an of the well
knowa painting depicting the deathbed
scene, historically accurate and mad from
photographic studies of those who were
present. It ahowed the young surgeon
as be had stood during that last hour of
the fateful Bine, close by the head ef tne
old-fashioned bedatead on which LlncffTn
died.

Everybody knows that Nebraska is prosperous. Many people, how
ever, even in Nebraska, do not know the source of its prosperity, except -in
their own neighborhood. Neither is it always understood in the cities,
as to the cause of the general prosperity of the farmer, and the farmer may
not be familiar with what has been most essential in bringing about the;, -
DrosDeritv of our towns and cities.

In the coming article6, descriptive of the diferent counties of the state, the Commercial Club and
their good roads campaign will receive attention; from what the state has been develop and the place "
holds today in the industrial world; the advantages Nebraska offers to those who may come here; what .
the farmers of today have accomplished, and the possibilities for the farmer of the future; what th
stock-breeders and stock-feeders have developed and what they are trying to develop; what the dairy- -industry
has to offer and how it is being received or rejected by the average farmer. The fruit industry
has added to the pleasure and profit of the home; the corn grower has learned and is learning, and his
knowledge of improved methods are of immense value to himself and his neighbors. The railroads have
done much for the state and have receivd much in return from the people. Thrify towns and cities of " ,
the state are growing, and how they are making progress will be told. The county schools, the school '
