It was erected by the Western Sanitary Commission of St. Louis, Missouri, with funds solely contributed by emancipated citizens of the United States, who were declared free by the Proclamation of President Lincoln. The first contribution of $5.00 was made by Charlotte Scott an exslave of Virginia her contribution being the first earnings in freedom and consecrated, by her suggestion and request on the day she heard of President Lincoln's death, to build a monument to his memory. The page of monuments reproduced on heavy enamel paper ready for framing will be sent on the receipt of 10 cents in coin or stamps to the South Western Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La. ABRAHAM LINGOLN. Abraham Lincoln whose birthday and Centenial Anniversary we celebrate to day is one of the very few great men the world has produced. We have many orators, statesmen, warriors, diplomats, educators and scholars, but so very few really great men this child of natures son of destiny, this boy of freedom, this man of sorrow was born in Hardin (now La Rue) County, Kentucky. Like Abraham of old he was called by Jehovah from the land of Kentucky to Indiana across the Ohio then to the prairies of Illinois where nature reared him in the free air of heaven that freedom, honesty and equality moulded his lovable character and shaped his pure ideals of life from here this log cabin barefooted rail splitter became by the aid of 3 books and a tallow candle light a surveyor, a lawyer, a legislator though defended by Douglass for the U. S., Senate honest Abe marched onward and upward until he became president at the physicological moment of our nations history. With the cries of 4,000,000 of slaves at his feet with the sorrows of the country upon his shoulders. He became president, guided the ship of state and commanded the greatest army in modern times, fought the greatest war and won the victory, saved the union and freed the bondsmen and enthroned liberty, freedom and equality to all humanity then the assian bullet killed him, thus ended the life of the greatest man the Western Hemisphere has yet produced, unlearned, without royal blood or money he marched from the log cabin to the white house. What an object lesson for the young no man was ever born like he lived like he, done so much for humanity and died like him. With love for all and molice toward none this emancipator died leaving a priceless heritage to future generations of faithfulness to duty, love of honesty and hope of equal justice. Let us honor his name so long as human civilization may last. Subscribe now. DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1909. THE MEMORIAL OF THE FOUNTAIN OF THE MAYOR OF BOSTON LINCOLN'S SPEECH AT CETTYSBURG. Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any other nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. we are met on a great battlefield of that war. We MONUM Statue of Emancipation, Florence, Italy. Saint Gaudens, Lincoln Park, Chicago, Ill. Mr. John Wright of Kreger Bakery who was badly burned a few weeks ago is back at work again. The Sewing Circle Club met at the home of of Mrs. H. Jones last week are met to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, but in a large sense we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow this ground—the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far beyond our power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what it did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be MENTS TO ABRAHAM LING and will hold their next meeting with Mrs. H. Harris. The revival meeting closed at the A. M. E. church last Sunday with not very great success. Rev. J. H. Bed with a few of the members of and friends of the church dicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. 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 government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

From recent dispatches from Russia it is stated that a project is being elaborated by the Russian Government for arresting the inflow of Koreans and Chinese into the Russian far eastern possions.

Azalia Hackley the noted singer of America makes her appearance at Kensington Hall, London, England, on Feb. 14th at the head of a list of English and foreign artists who are appearing at a grand benefit concert for the Messenia earthquake victims. Madame Hackley has traveled extensively in America and is without a doubt one of the finest singers of our race has ever produced. Her home was in Denver, Colo., where she graduated from the College of Music of the University of Denver. News comes by way of Paris that King Menelik is dying. All authority is now in the hands of the Empress and the Monks. Emperor Menelik of Abyssinia is dout the best known ruler of a Negro country. His subjects number several million. As a medical feat the post mortem examination of the body M. Steinheilb, the murdered artist in Paris, after he had been dead eight months is to be entirely overshadowed by a medical inquiry which is just about to be opened, an inquiry into the mental and physical state of Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo. It has long been the opinion in France that at the time of the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon was suffering from some secret and incomprehensible illness. Prof. Lawndowy, a well known authority on mental physiology, is at the head of the inquiry. Among the Afro-Americans visiting in Europe at this time are Mrs. Hunton of Atlanta, Ga., wife of the General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and Hon. and Mrs. John P Green of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Green was U. S. S. Samp Agent under Roosevelt. On January 27th the Emperor of Germany celebrated his birthday. This morning the foreign secretary, Herr Von Schoen informed the Budget committee that there was no truth in the report that Germany and the United States intended to guarantee Liberia against British land-hunger. Nothing was known to the foreign office he said, as to the British designs against Liberia. On the contrary England's declared intention had always been not to extend her West African possessions at the cost of Liberia. It was further untrue that Germany had offered Liberia a loan of $ 50 000 on condition that the Black Republic would accept no money from Great Britann. The truth was that Liberia had approached Germany with loan proposals, but meeting with no enclosure had turned to England. News has just received from Cape Town South Africa, telling of the safe arrival there of Bishop J. Albert Johnsoe. Rev. Johnson is one of the new A M. E.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 10.—Much discussion has heen aroused over a question, rulsed, as to whether Sena- tor Philander C. Knox of Pennss!- vaia, who has been selected to be secretary of state in the Taft eabi- het, is eligible under the constitu: tion of the United States, Attention has been called to section vi, article J, of the constitution, which reads as follows: ‘No senator or representative shall, during the time tor whieh he was elected, be appointed to any eivil office under the authority of the Unit ed States, which shall have een created of the emoluments whereot shall have been increased — during such time.” During Mr. Knox's present term as senator the salaries of all cabinet of ticers ewre increased from $8,000 10 $12,000 4 year. As the term of Sena tor Knox docs not expire until March 4, 1911, two years after the time when his name wonld be sent by Mr. Taft to the senate for cone firmation, the question is asked if Mr. Knox will be able constitutionally to accept the state portrolio, Mr, Knox declined to discuss the point when the matter was brought to his attention, The only precedent recalled in a similar ease was that of the late Senator Ransom of North Carolina, who usw appointed by President Cleveland to be minister to Mexico, the emolument of which office was raised while Mr, Ransom was a mene ber of the senate. Under the de cision rendeisd by the controller of the treasury it was held that Senator Ransom could not become minister to Mexicu. SIOUX CITY SNOWBOUND.

The Loves, Courtship and Marriage of Abraham Lincoln ```markdown ``` T HERE was a vein of strong and true romance in the make up of the man Lincoln, as there has been — no matter how deep-bid — in the natures of most men who have made history, writes Fullerton L. Wado in the Philadelphia Ledger. Listen to his own story of the first awakeninges of the tender sentiment—it is very like the dream of Kipling's Brushwood Boy, except in the non-fulfillment: "When I was a little codder (in the logcabin Indiana days), one day a wagon with a lady and two girls and a man broke down near us, and while they were fixing up they cooked in our kitchen. The woman had books and read us stories, and they were the first I had ever heard. I took a great fancy to one of the girls, and when they were gone I thought of her a great deal, and one day when I was sitting out in the sun by the house, I wrote out a story in my mind. I thought I took my father's house and followed the wagon, and finally I found it, and they were surprised to see me. I talked with the girl and persuaded her to elope with me, and that night I put her on my horse, and we started off across the prairie. After several hours we came to a camp and we found it was the one we had left a few hours before, and we went in. The next night we tried again, and the same thing happened—the horse came back to the same place, and then we concluded we ought not to elope. I stayed until I had persuaded her father to give her to me. I always meant to write that story out and Earliest portrait of Lincoln. Daguerreotype taken about the time of his marriage. publish it, and I began once, but I concluded that it was not much of a story. But I think that was the beginning of love with me." When "Abe" was 22 years old he became clerk in the store of Denton Offutt, at New Salem, Ind. It was a general store, and his employment was various. Presently he was made postmaster, and carried letters (for the sparse population of a couple of hundred), in his hat, and humorily read every one of their newspapers before he let them go. He also found employment as deputy county surveyor. He boarded at the tavern of one James Rutledge, grandson of a signer of the declaration, and there he met and fell head over heels in love with the beautiful, blueeed Ann Rutledge. Ann Rutledge had been engaged to a prosperous young farmer, John McNeill by name, but John McNeill had "heard the cast a callin'" and had gone thither upon business best, promising to come back and reclaim her as his bride. His letters, at first frequent and ardent, became non-committal and occasional, and finally there were no more of Mr. McNeill's missives for Postmaster Lincoln to hand to Ann from the crown of his hat. She still was faithful to McNeill's memory. For a long time she would not listen to a word of love from the newcomer. But it was the old story of "first endure, then nity, then embrace." "Abe" likewise felt sorry for the jilted Ann, and longed to be able to comfort her with his sympathy. They were thrown together three times a day at meals, and presently she held him sit with her on the steps, and that led to long rambles through the country roundabout. When at last she was convinced that McNeill was never coming back to her, Ann Rutledge yielded to Lincoln's impassioned pleading and agreed to become his wife. She must have realized the promise in him which others disbelieved or described but dimly, for she felt her need of a better education, that she might be a more suitable helpmec for him. So it was arranged that while Abraham went to Springfield for the legislative session and to study law she should go to Jacksonville, Ill., and spend the winter in an academy there. In the following spring they were to be married. Spring came, but the apple blossoms and the roses were laid upon her grave. The doctors said Ann Rutledge died of brain fever, and doubtless they were right. It may have been due to her pathetic, eager desire to learn enough to be the wife of the future statesman that she saw in the overgrown and awkward clerk of the country store. Lincoln was beside himself with grief, and his friends feared suicide. He never was again quite the man of irrepressible buoyant spirits that he was incessantly before Ann Rutledge was taken from him. "I really loved that girl," he once said after he was president, "and I often think of her now, and I have loved the name of Rutledge to this day." A year or so later Lincoln became involved in a singular embarrassment. A girl named Mary Owens came to New Salem to visit her sister, Mrs. Able, and spent four weeks. Lincoln met her, and liked her for her steady and well balanced character, her evident domesticity, and, neither last nor least, her prepossessing appearance. After she went he jestingly told Mrs. Able that if she would bring her sister back he would marry her. Mrs. Able reported the conversation, and Mary Owens accepted Lincoln's offer as being seriously intended. Lincoln was in a dreadful predicament. Go back upon his word he would not, even if it meant lifelong misery for him. Mary Owens was a year older than he, and when he met her again she seemed to have lost most of her good looks. He wrote to her, "I am afraid you would not be satisfied," he said, "you would have to be poor without the means of hiding your poverty. What I have said I will most positively abide by, provided you wish it. My opinion is that you had better not do it. You have not been accustomed to hardship, and it may be more severe than you now imagine. I know you are capable of thinking correctly on any subject, and if you deliberate maturely upon this before you decide, then I am willing to abide by your decision." This did not sound in Miss Owens' ears like the ardent protestation of true love. She wrote back and gave him a piece of her mind, saying that he was "deficient in those little links [Illustration of a woman in a dress with a headband.] Mary Todd Lincoln, from a photograph made about 1861. which go to make up a woman's happiness", "kahn not a little relieved, accepted this rejoinder as the conclusion of the matter and wrote to Mrs Browning: "I have now come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying." About a year later a high-spirited and fascinating Kentucky girl, 21 years old, Mary Todd—the sister of a Mrs. Edwards, at whose house Lincoln was a frequent visitor—was the cause of a broken resolution. Stephen A. Douglas was among Lincoln's rivals for the hand of the beautiful southron, but Lincoln won out in this first debate against the "little giant," and in a twelvemonth from the time that he first met her Lincoln was engaged to be married to Mary Todd and on November 4, 1842, they were married by the Rev. Charles Dresser, at the house of Mary's brother-in-law, Ninian W. Edwards, who had been bitterly opposed from the start to the alliance on the ground of Lincoln's church-mouse poverty. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln went to board at the Globe tavern, where the charge was $4 a week for the twain. The four children of the union were Edward Baker, born March 10, 1846, who died in infancy; William Wallace, born December 21, 1850, who died in the White House February 20, 1862; Thomas, born April 4, 1852, who died at the age of 18, and the oldest born and sole survivor, Robert Todd, born August 1, 1843. The latter, a lawyer by profession and a Harvard graduate, became secretary of war under Garfield and Arthur, minister to England under Harrison, and is now president of the Pullman Company, residing in Chicago. Mrs. Lincoln outlived her husband's martyrs until July 16, 1882. Dr. Thomas W. Dresser, the doctor who attended her in her last illness, says of the closing years of her life: "In the late years of her life mental peculiarities were developed, which finally culminated in a slight apoplexy, producing paralysis of which she died. Among the peculiarities alluded to, one of the most singular was the habit she had during the last year or so of her life of imuring herself in a perfectly dark room, and for light using a small candle light, even when the sun was shining bright out of doors. No urging would induce her to go out into the fresh air. Another peculiarly was the accumulation of large quantities of silks and dress goods in trunks and by the cartload which she never used and which accumulated until it was really feared that the floor of the storeroom would give way. She was bright and sparkling in conversation, and her memory remained singularly good up to the very close of her life. Her face was animated and pleasing, and to me she was always an interesting woman, and while the whole world was finding fault with her temper and disposition, it was clear to me that the trouble was really a cerebral disease." --- URGES MORE DELAY PRESIDENT ASKS CALIFORNIA TO WAIT ON LAWS. HE SEES MISCHIEF AHEAD Declares the Anti-Jap School Bill Accomplishes Nothing—Repairs Ordered on Pacific Fleet Ships—Senate Discusses Question. Washington—Following a conference at the White House with Senator Flint, Representative Kahn and Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lance of California, Secretary of State Bacon and Assistant Secretary O'Loughlin on the Japanese legislation Monday the president sent a message to Speaker Stanton of the California legislature urging that the present policy of the administration be allowed time to work its benefits without interference. He declares that figures show that the number of Japanese in this country is constantly losing. It is in the message to Speaker Stanton that the president admits that all the talk of trouble with Japan Fas not been idle and that a grave crisis may be precipitated by the passing of the school message. "Such a bill as this school bill accomplishes literally nothing whatever in the line of the object aimed at and gives just and grave cause for irritation, while in addition the United States government would be obliged immediately to take action in the federal courts to test such legislation, as we hold it to be clearly a violation of the treaty," whed the president. "On this point I refer you to the numerous decisions of the United States supreme court in regard to state laws which violate treaty obligations of the United States. The legislation would accomplish nothing beneficial and would certainly cause some mischief and might cause very grave mischief. "In short, the policy of the administration is to combine the maneuver of officeing in achieving the real object which the people of the Pacific stone have at heart, with the minimum of friction and trouble, while the misguided men who advocate such action as this against which I protest are following a policy while totally failing to achieve any real result for good, yet might accomplish an infinity of harm." The conference was followed by another one with Secretaries Newbery and Wright. The subject of the discussion was guarded by secrecy, although it has been learned that orders have been sent to Admiral Swinburn directing the eight armored cruisers of the first squadron of the Pacific fleet to proceed to their home yards on the Pacific coast for repairs after the completion of their target practice at Magdalena bay. The senate in executive session discussed the Japanese question. Incidentally the discussion turned upon the reference to Senator Perkins by President Roosevelt in a telegram to Gov. Gillett. TEN KILLED IN FIRE; 300 FLEE. Occupants of Lodging House, Shut Off from Escape by Flames. Manchester, England. — Ten are "known to be dead, with probably others buried in the ruins, a dozen are seriously hurt in the ruins and a score slightly injured as the result of a fire which destroyed the Grosveno street lodging house yesterday. Three hundred men were asleep in the building when the fire started. A panic ensued and scores of men jumped from the roof and windows. Only a few were able to escape by an exit before they became choked with flames. Most of the deaths resulted from fractured skulls. Hardly any of those who jumped escaped broken limbs. The building is now a heap of smoldering ruins, and as several of the lodgers have not been accounted for, it is believed that their bodies are in the ruins. Attack Forest Service Washington.—The forest service got its usual annual drubbing Thursday, the criticism against it coming principally from Mr. Smith (Cal.), Mr. Cook (Col.) and Mr. Mondell (Wyo.) all of whom charged extravagance in administration and the extortion of money from miners, farmers and even the owners of her hives, Mr. Cook attributed to Mr. Pinchot, the chief forester, the upper motive of scheming for Secretary Wilson's seat in the cabinet.

THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK THEY KNEW HOW TO WORK BUT DON'T NEED TO WORK NOW SO HARD. The experience of the Bisser Bros in Western Canada is similar to that reported to every agent of the Canadian Government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere: "Whecsteyn, n, Sask., Nov. 6th, 1908. "To the commissioner of Immigration, Winnipeg, Manitoba—Dear Shr; I, in company with my brother and other relations, arrived in this country in the spring of 1893. At the time we got off the train at Wolsley, Sask., we had only a few dollars, not enough to start farming on our own account, so we were compelled to work out for a considerable time in order to make sufficient money to enable us to establish ourselves. When we thought we had enough money to start with, I and my brother took up one quarter-section (160 acres) land each in the Loon Creek district. In 1900 we moved on our homesteads with one team of horses and one walking plow. While I was engaged with the work in the field, my brother built a shack and barn of logs, which we have hauled during the time we were not able to work in the field. We were certainly working very hard, but I am glad to say that we made our fortune in this country. Today we do not need to work so hard as we used to, as we have three men hired steady for whom we pay $20.00 to $10.00 a month, besides board and lodging during the summer time! I am also glad to tell you that today we are owners of a section and three quarters of the best land, with first class buildings thereon, besides having all the necessary machinery. We always do our own threshing, for we have a 22 horse-power threshing outfit. "Our success in farming in this country also enabled us to get rid of a number of horses of less value, and instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares, representing a value in the neighborhood of $5,000. "Regarding raising grain, which is the main factor in our district, I am proud to say that we have always had good success. We have raised wheat as high as 35 bushels to the acre; and this year, although we suffered from lack of sufficient rain, our wheat went 27 bushels to the acre, and we had 900 acres in crop. We have broken this year about 100 acres new land, and by next year we will have about 1,110 acres in crop. For one carload of wheat which we have shipped a few weeks ago we got a price of 97 cents per bushel, and it graded as No. 2 Northern, although we have a quantity of wheat which will surely go as No. 1 Northern. During the six years we have been farming for ourselves we have never had one frost around here, so that we always had a good crop. "I, for myself, feel compelled to say that our Great West is the land where a person who is willing to work and trun his hands to anything, can make a fortune, and a comfortable living. Our country is a thoroughly free country, and we have a good Government; and, as long as we have good crops, and a good Government, we are satisfied, and I think that is all we want.

The Oat Crop ranges from 100 to 176 bushels per acre. Hay returns from 4 to 6 tons to the acre. There are no crop failures, and fertilizers are never used.

Mrs. Perkins: Dear Madam—I received the goods all right, which I presume you know by this time. I thought I'd wait to see how I liked your treatment before writing. I also received your letter from Pueblo, and thank you very much for interest shown. Now, as to your treatment. I used the red shampoo and eggs, as I thought the scalp must have thorough cleaning to start with and you didn't designate which to use first. I must say it was the most delightful shampoo I ever had. I felt like I had a new head (laugh). Now, as to your salve, it is the nearest thing to perfection I have ever used, as a dressing, and I don't think you've exaggerated its merits. Dear Madam—I now write you what your wonderful hair remedy has done for me. My hair had been falling out for over a year. It came out in spots larger than a dollar. Black heads and pimples came in the bald spots and my scalp looked like it had been scalded. After using your treatment three months the scalp began looking better and the black heads Mrs. T. D.
