Fourscore and
seven years ago
our fathers
brought forth
on this conti-
nent a new na-
tion, conceived
in liberty, and
dedicated to the
proposition that
all men are cre-
ated equal
Now we are en-
gaged in.- a great
civil war, testing
whether that nation,
or any nation so con-
ceived and so dedicated can
long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield
of that war, we have come to dedi-
cate a portion of that field as a final
resting place for those who here
gave their lives that that nation
might live. It is altogether fitting and
proper that we should db this, but, in
a larger sense we cannot dedicate—we
cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow
—this ground. The brave men living and
dead, who struggled here, have conse-
crated it far above our poor power to
add or xletract
The world will
little note nor
long remember
what we say
here, but it can
never forget
what they did
here. It is for
us, the living,
rather, to be ded-
icated here to the
unfinished work
which they who
fought here have thus
far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us—that
from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain; that this
nation, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom; and that govern-
ment of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth.

Wte ja*nS- JOHN LYMAN CniLD,
lm/1 who *■ ®lgbty-two years old.
IW ■ knew Lincoln personally,
■**T *“* heard Lincoln and Douglas
debate, has a store of Interesting In-
cidents connected with her father-in-
law. an ardent Abolitionist, ns well as
tales of her father, who served as ad-
jutant-general of Illinois.
Mrs. Child’s maiden name was Mary
Ellen Anderson. She* was born and
reared near Springfield, lived in that
locality for eighty years, and now re-
sides In Chicago.
"Yes. I remember when Springfield
was nothing but a mnd-hole, when
the horses were driven to the court
house, unhitched, tied to the bnck of
the wagon and fed there. I lived on
a farm not far from town; we knew
the people In town and went In to the
political meetings. In those days,
you know, two would talk together,
each trying to get voters for his side.
I heard Lincoln and Douglas stump.
Folks said that Douglas was the
smartest man but that Lincoln was the
shrewdest. Once I heard Douglas say
to Lincoln; ’You, sir. used to sell
whisky !’•
"When Lincoln got up, this was his
answer to that:    ’Yes, I did. And
while I officiated In one way. you
Douglas, did In another; you did the
drinking.’
"Douglas was a drinker. They snhl
he made the best speeches when he
was under the influence. The day my
father Introduced him to a little boy
who was for Douglas, though the boy’s
father was strong on the other side,
I know he had been drinking.
"This boy’s father, Stephen Child—
the boy had the same name—wus
known all around as an abolitionist.
The boy, only ten years old. for some
reason was not on that side. Once
the father while at work In the field
saw his team being driven by little
Stephen out to the road ns fast ns
they could go. He hollered for the
boy to bring the horses hack but he
paid no attention. After awhile Mr
Child saw a gang of boys drive buck
to the house. They had a pole In
their wngon. They took this out nnd
pretty soon began trying to raise it,
for a flag pole, In front of the house.
Mr. Child (by the way. he later be-
came my father-in-law) went over
an** -offered to help, although It wa*
a hickory pole. But little Stephen
said. ’No, this la a Democrat pole
and no Abolitionist shall touch It!’
, “Little Stephan had twa eats that
he called Dougins nnd Lincoln. He
took fine care of Douglas but he used
to beat Lincoln unmercifully. That
was a long time ago, hut he Is still
living and still remembers his cats.
“My father was a Democrat. We
lived neighbor to the Childs, and one
day father took little'Stephen to a
meeting where Douglas spoke. After
the meeting father had the boy shake
hands with Douglas, and he Intro-
duced him as a ‘ten-year-old Democrat
son of an Abolitionist.’
“My father-ln-lnw* was an awful
strong Abolitionist. He sheltered col-
ored people and helped show them
the way north. He had a horse named
Pomp. They said he would put a col-
ored runaway on the horse, send It
off and he pretty sure It would do
wliat was expected of It; would run
Todd, too, slightly. She was haughty.
After their marriage It hurt her that
Lincoln wus so plain nnd dressed so
plain; she wanted him to dress up.
When I first knew him he liked to
wear the linsey woolsey. He was a
homely man but drew people to him.
He was a great friend to the poor,
made more over a ragged boy or girl
than any other kind.
“Everyone around Springfield sor-
rowed when Lincoln w’as killed. 1
remember as though It was yesterday
Ids body lying In state there In the
state house. And I remember the day
my husband nnd I w-ent to pay our
respects that there was the biggest
fight on the streets of Springfield that
I had ever seen. Colored people
had flocked there from all sides, they
were present In such numbers they
more than filled the sidewalks. There
really didn’t seem to he any room for
any of the white people that wanted
i to go to the state house. It was shout-
ed that the colored people should go
out Into the road, not take all the
sidewalks. A big fight followed, there
was much noise nnd confusion. But
the police finally stopped It. Lin-
coln l»y In state n day nnd night, an
army of people hnd opportunity to
pass along ns lie lay there with the
guards about him.”

and throw off Its load right at the door

“My father-In-law used to hide the
runaways In his cellar, which had no
outside door, Just a trap door In the
house. Once he had n lot of them
there nnd searchers enme along, sus-
pecting him. Mr. Child told them
they were welcome to search. They
looked nil around, but not In the right
place. That night he loaded the col-
ored people In the bottom of the
wngon, piled on top hi.),a of lmy nnd
started out for Salt Creek. On the
trip at the side of the road he met a

He got the people safely to Salt Creek,

manhood: the Bible. Aesop’s Fables

simple, tender, beautiful literary style,
both for spenklng and writing. The

Really Not Her Fault.
Aunty took Elsie to the shoe shop
for a pair of shoes. They were oat of
certain sizes and the child fancied a
particular pair. Auntie told her to be
sure and get them large enough and
was quite provoked the next day when
having worn them for about an hour,
Elsie complained of their being too
tight and hurting her.
“I Just knew those shoes were too
small for you I” angrily said annty.
“They wasn’t a bit too small, aunty,"
defended Elsie, “but I dess my foot*
