Deduction Mother Must Have Found
8omawhat Hard to Combat.
Miss Mnrjorle, aped five years, la
ono of those bright children who make
the lives of their parents and teach-
ers a burden. Quite recently she paid
her first visit to a kindergarten. Upon
her return home she grew enthusi-
astic, begging her mother to allow
her to attend the school regularly.
"It was so very nice!" she declared
sweetly. "And the teacher, Miss Lee,
s so very nice, too! She told me If
I was a good little girl I would grow
up Into a pretty lady, but If I was
naughty I would grow up an ugly
one!"
"That is quite true, dear," her moth-
er answered with a smile.
Silently Miss Marjorie regarded the

out: "Then what a naughty, naughty
little girl Miss Lee must have been."

A Dire Threat.
It is well known that certain vaga-
bonds desire nothing better, especial-
ly when the cold weather comes on,
than to be arrested and locked up, in
order that they may be taken care of
a while. One of this fraternity suc-
ceeded in getting himself arrested for
vagrancy, and on the way to the lock-
up he was so much overjoyed by the
prospect of not having to sleep in the
open air that he behaved somewhat
boisterously.
"Keep quiet!" threatened the police-
man; "If you don't, I'll let you go!"—

Laying of Corner 8tone of Memo-

Hodgenvllle.Ky.-The corner stone
of the splendid memorial to be erected
to the memory of Abraham Lincoln
was laid by President Roosevelt. The
exercises were participated In by many
of the nation's leading men, Cardinal
Gibbons and ex-Gov. Folk of Missouri
being among those who made* ad-
dresses.
Prom all points, by train and over
roads not particularly smooth at this
season of the year, the people gathered
to the exercises. A building four
times the size of the tent provided
could not have accommodated the
crowd.
The corner stone of the Memorial
hall was laid by President Roosevelt
In an Impressive address the chief ex-
ecutive eulogized the life and work of
the great statesman. He spoke as fol-
lows:
met here to ce^brate the one
hundredth anniversary of the birth of
one of the two greatest Americans; of
one of the two or three greatest men of
the nineteenth century; of one of the
areatest men in the world's history. This
rail splitter, this boy who passed his un-
gainly youth In the dire poverty of the
poorest of the frontier folk, whose rise
was by weary and painful labor, lived to
lead his people through the burning
flames of a stsuggle from which the na-
tion emerged, purified as by fire, born
anew to a loftier life. After long years
of Iron effort, and of failure that came
more often than victory, he at last rose
to the leadership of the republic at the
moment when that leadership had become
the stupendous world-task of the time.
He grew to know greatness, but never
ease. Success came to him, but never
happiness save that which springs from
doing well a painful and a vital task.
Power was his, but not pleasure. The
furrows deepened on his brow, but his
eyes were undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders were bowed,
ineusure fortunate In the characters of
the two greatest of our public men,
Washington and Lincoln. Widely though
they differed In erternals, the Virginia
landed Knntleman and the Kentucky
buck woodsman, they were alike In es-
sentials. they were alike In the great
qualities which rendered each able to
render service to his nation and to all
mankind such as no other man of his
feneration could or did render. Each had
lofty Ideals, but each In striving to attain
these lofty Ideals was guided by the
soundest common sense. Each possessed
Inflexible courage In adversity, and a soul
wholly unspoiled by prosperity. Each
poHaeiwed sll tha gentler virtues common-
ly exhibited by good men who lack rug-
fed atrenfth of character, Each pos-
sesHed also all the strong qualities com-
monly exhibited by those towering mas-
ters of mankind who have too often
shown themselves devoid of so much as
the understanding of the words by which
we signify the qualities of <*'ity. of
mercy, of devotion to the right, of lofty
disinterestedness In battling for the food
of others. There have been other men
practical man and Inability to atrlva In
practical fashion for tha realisation of
an Ideal. He had the practical man's
hard common sense and willingness to
adapt means to ends; but there was In
him none of that morbid growth of mind
and soul which blinds so many practical
men to tha higher things of life. No
mora practical man ever lived than thla
homely backwoods Idealist; but ha had
nothing In common with thoae practical
men whose consciences nre warped until
they fall to distinguish between good and
evil, fall to understand thst strength,
ability, shrewdness, whether In the world
of business or of politics, only serve to
make their possessor a more noxious, a
more evil member of the community. If
they are not guided and controlled by a
fine and high moral sense.

The Secret of Poverty.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New
York unlocked the secret of general
poverty in an address at the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History in
New York early this month, when he
eald: "What is killing the people of
this city may be stated as overwork,
underfeeding and overcrowding; and
two of these may be included under
the one word 'underpaid.' The mes-
sage of the church and of medicine

to the poor," but 'Don't take so much
away from them.'—The Public.
GOOD CHANGE
Coffee to Postum.
The large army of persons who have
found relief from many chronic ail-
ments by changing from coffee to
Postum as a daily beverage, is grow-
ing each day.
It is only a simple question of trying
It for oneself in order to know the joy
of letuming health as realized by an
Ills, young lady. She writes:
"I had been a coffee drinker nearly
all my life and it affected my stomach
—caused Insomnia and I was seldom
without a headache. I had heard about
Postum and how beneficial It was, so
concluded to quit coffee and try It
"I was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. My stomach has gotten
strong and I can eat without suffering
afterwards. I think my whole system
greatly benefited by Postum.

ach trouble while he drank coffee, but

arjr'a fanaticism or egotism, without any
of the visionary's narrow jealousy of the
can learn much of value from tha very
attacks which following that coursa
brought upon his head, attacks alike by
the extremists of revolution and by the
extremists of reaction. He never wav-
ered In devotion to his principles, in hia
love for the union, and In his abhor-
rence of slavery. Timid and lukewarm
people were always denouncing him be-
cause he was extreme; but as a matter
of fact he never went to extremes, ha
worked step by step; and because of thia
the extremists hated and denounced him
with a fervor which now seems to us fan-
tastic In Its deification of the unreal and
the Impossible. At the very time when
one side was holding him up aa tha
apostle of social revolution because ha
was against slavery, the leading abo-
litionist denounced him as the "slave
hound of Illinois." When he was the sec-
ond time candidate for president, the ma-
jority of his opponents attacked him be-
cause of what they termed his extreme
radicalism, while a minority threatened
to bolt his nomination because he was not
radical enough. He had continually to
check those who wished to go forward
too fast, at the very time that he over-
ride the opposition of those who wished
not to go forward at all. The goal was
never dim before his vision; but he picked
his way cautiously, without either halt or
hurry, aa he strode toward It, through
such a morass of difficulty that no man
of less courage would have attempted It,
while it would surely have overwhelmed
any man of judgment less serene

"Tat, perhaps the most wonderful thing
of all, and. from the standpoint of tha
American of to-day and of the future,
the most vitally important, was the
extraordinary way in which Lincoln
could fight valiantly against what ha
deemed wrong, and yet preserve undi-
minished his love and respect for tha
brother from whom he differed.
Strong Sense of Justice.
'He lived In days that were great and
terrible, when brother fought against
brother for what each sincerely deemed
to be the right. In a contest so grim
the strong men who alone can carry It
through are rarely able to do justice
to the deep convictions of those with
whom they grapple in mortal strife. At
such times men see through a glass dark-
ly; to only the rarest and loftiest spirits
