THE NOBILITY OF LINCOLN.
No ruler ever faced no hard a task
or one versed with so many pitfalls
as that which confronted Lincoln as
he entered the presidency. During all
his terms of service he had to deal
not only with open enemies, but with
secret foes, faithless friends and un
scrupulous rivals. Each day brought
its consumuing labors, its message of
disaster in the field, or reports of
treachery at home, the abuse of hos
tile critics, or the censure of mis- j
guided adherents. But through all
those dark years, though often the!
iron entered deep into his soul, no I
word of tterness or reproach ever,
fell from Lincoln's lips.
Through the long leaden days he
endured the whips and scorn of time
with unfailing patience and serenity.
Sometimes diverting the force of the
heaviest blows with the shield of hu- 1
nmr; and day after day he bore with-'
ou a murmur the load of care that
would have crushed a spirit less
nobly con ecrated. But in the night.
wh?*n deep sleep falleth upon man, tie
trn,| alone the loftiest heights of hu
man thought, communed in solitude i
wi'h (!od, drank deep from the cool
cisterns of Christian charity, and
catue back to the burdens and the
beat of another day with his soul
purged of all envy, hatred and malice
and all uneharitableness, and with th
light of inspiration in his deep set
eyes. We shall search in vain the
messages, speeches, and letters of
Lincoln for the impatient, harsh or
contemptuous word directed against
those who differed with him.or sought
to thwart his designs. ? Taken from
the speech of Henry Sherman Boutell
of Illinois in House of Representa
tives.

SCIENCE RELIGHTS A MAN'S DAR
KENEO MEMORY.
F-ve weeks ago u man was found
wandering dumbly and aimlessly1
around the .streets of New Haven
Me waa taken to a hospital, as many
another had been. All the known
methods to get him to tell something
about himst lf were tried, but they
failed. The man could breathe, but
he couldn't think; and, no doubt, he
would have been put away some
where as a "hopeless case" but for
the idea of a specialist to hypnotize
him and try to ge' in touch with his
memory in that way.
'1 lie experiment was tried and re
sulted In success. I'nder hypnotic
influence the man recalled his life
story; and instead of being sidetrack
ed somewhere among the "un
knowns," as he otherwise probably
would have been, he will be restored
to his family.
The case is said to have no parallel
in medical science. But other men,
;:nd many of them, have been found
in such a state as this man presented.
Their misfortune was that they had
no one to awaken their memories and
help them to identify themselves.
In olden days in some parts of the
country they would have had this
doctor up for witchcraft. Now a
grateful world will applaud his skill.

A STATESMAN'S DUTIES.
I
The first duty of a statesman is ef
ficiently to work for the betterment
of h's country and for Its good rela
tions with the rest of the world. He
m at have high ideals, and in addition
he must possess the practical sagacity
and force that will enable him rneas
urably to realize theiu. If ho does
not possess tbo high Ideals, then the
greater his ability the more dangeroi4
he Is and the more essential it is to
hunt him out of public life. Sagacity,
courage, all that makes for efficiency
? these are of use only if the man's
character is such thai he will use
thorn for good and not for evil. On
the other hand, fine aspirations, 110
matter how good, are useless ii a
man lacks either strength and sense
which will enable him to face facts
as they actually are and to work with
his fellows under existing conditions,
instead of confining himself to com
plaints about the conditions, or to
railing at the men because they an
no* other than he finds them. ? Presi- 1
dent Roosevelt in Outlook Magazine.
OUR MOTHERS.
Mother: The very word -hallows
lips that utter it. The world has not
yet grasped its debt to the mothers
of mankind. The mother is the lus
ter and hope of history. From her
bosom flow the impulses that fashion
governments and alter civilization
With whisper and caress she organ
izes parliaments, revolutions, epoch
She Is the central figure of ;il! human
sacrifice. Life is the flower of her
agony, the fruitage is her pain. Hu
manity is cradled in her tear That
men may be slit.* fronts the grav?
yea, at each birth endures a living
crucifixion. ? Morris Sheppard. Con
pressman from Texas.

Oh. poor, blind world grown gray,
With the lack of a thing *o near.
With the war.t of a thing --J dear!
The n>-ed of the world I know.
I know the need of the world when the
earth shakos under the tread
Of men who march to the fight, when
rivers with Mood are red
And there Is 110 law but might.
And the wrong way seem ? the right.
When he who slaughter tho r.o t

The need of the world I know.
Oh. love Is the need of thu world! Down

Down under Its lust of gr? ? I. for the joys

There lies forever It* need.
For love Is the law and the creed.
And love.l* the aim and the goal
Of llfo from the man to t mole.
