BY EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN. The subject of this poem is a plaster cast of Abraham Lincoln's hand. It is a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, who was a man of whose shoulders the whole weight of the earth rested. According to the text, Lincoln was a man of great strength. OOK on this cast, and know the hand That bore a nation in its hold; From this mute witness understand What Lincoln was—how large of mould The man who sped the woodman's team. And deepest sunk the ploughman's share, And pushed the laden raft astream, Of fate before him unaware. This was the hand that knew to swing The axe—since thus would freedom train Her son—and made the forest ring, And drove the wedge, and toiled amain. Firm hand, that loftier office took, A conscious leader's will obeyed. And, when men sought his word and look, With steadfast might the gathering swayed. No courrier's, toying with a sword, Nor minstrel's, laid across a lute; A chief's, uplifted to the Lord When all the kings of earth were mute! The hand of Anak, sinewed strong, The fingers that on greatness clutch; Yet, lo! the marks their lines along Of one who strove and suffered much. For here, in knotted cord and vein, I trace the varying chart of years; I know the troubled heart, the strain, The weight of Atlas—and the tears. Again I see the patient brow That palm erewile was wont to press; And now 'tis furrowed deep, and now Made smooth with hope and tenderness. For something of a formless grace This moulded outline plays about; A pitying flame, beyond our trace, Breathes like a spirit, in and out. The love that cast an aureole Round one who, longer to endure, Called mirth to ease his ceaseless dole, Yet kept his nobler purpose sure. Lo, as I gaze, the statured man, Built up from yon large hand, appears: A type that Nature wills to plan But once in all a people's years. What better than this voiceless cast To tell of such a one as he, Since through its living semblance passed The thought that bade a race be free! Lincoln Said to Have Denied Widely Prevalent Belief. The Boston Republic lately printed some reminiscences of the Hon. John Conness, U. S. senator from California from 1863 to 1869, and the sole survivor of the eight palebearers at the funeral of Abraham Mr. Conness, who lived a resident of Boston, blocked one well-rooted tradition: "Lincoln was not a rail-spitcher," he said. "He once told me he later spit a rail in his life. "I recall distinctly the occasion on which Lincoln told me about the rail-spitting. I was at the White House one morning by appointment, discussing some official matter, and by degrees our conversation drifted into other channels. John Hay, the assistant secretary, among which we had some papers, among which we had the weeklies of the day with some picture or statement referring to the Illinois Rail-Spitter." "Do you know, Conness," said Mr. Lincoln to me, "there isn't a word of truth in this rail-spitting business, not a word; and yet what am I to about it? The day after I was nominated I was standing on the front porch of my house, and the people were coming up to congratulate me and parading by them the actually carrying on their shoulders which I was supposed to have split. "I was much confused and troubled, and did not know exactly what I could do about it. My impulse was to tell them, but then, I thought, here were masses of men taking their own means of expressing their pleasure at my nomination, and I asked myself if I should dampen the ardor of my supporters on the very threshold of the campaign, or let it go on and treat it as a means or incident in our election. From all of a sudden there occurred to me a little story about an old farmer who lived up near where I did when I was a boy. He was an old bachelor, and didn't have much of a farm, and was a peculiar chap. Farm-hands didn't like to work for him, and he used to have a lot of trouble getting them. "Finally he got one, a good, hard-working fellow, who was a great help to him, and who stayed longer than any of the others. This fellow had only one fault, he used to love to sing. He sang all the time about the house, and when the was working in the field. "Iy and by the old farmer got so that the singing disturbed him considerable. So he called up the man and said: "Look here, John, you must stop this singing. It's really more than I can stand. Don't let me hear you again." VOL. 21. NO. 6. L "John went out and tried silence for a couple of days, but one morning the old farmer found a note for him saying: "Have gone to hoe where we can sing." So, Conness, I just thought I'd let em sing." The real value of the tradition lies in the clear assertion of the fact that Lincoln was one of the humble people who grew to high estate. That is true, and because the tradition put the truth in a form that every one could grasp, it has survived. Emerson on Lincoln. The president impressed me more favorably than I had hoped. A frank sincere, well-meaning man, with a lawyer's habit of mind, good, clear statement of his fact, correct enough not vulgar, as described; but with a sort of boyish cheerfulness, or that kind of sincerity and jolly good meaning that our class meetings on comedic topics were not stories over. When he has made his remark, he looks up at you with great satisfaction, and shows all his white teeth, and laughs. He argued to Summer the whole case of Gordon, the slave trader, point by point, and added that he was not quite satisfied yet, and meant to refresh his memory by looking again at the evidence. All this showed a fidelity and conscientiousness very honorable to him. When I was introduced to him, he said, "I once heard you say in a lecture, that a Kentuckian seems to say by his air and manners, 'Here am I; if you don't like me, the worse for you'"—Diary of R. W. Emerson in the Atlantic. Can You Improve This? It is not very well known that in the hall of one of the great colleges of England there hangs a frame enclosing a few sentences of which Abraham Lincoln is the author. They are considered the best English that was ever written. You or I might read them over and call them very simple indeed. And they are so simple that any child who reads at all can read and understand them. That is one thing that makes them great. It was his being simple and plain that made Lincoln himself great. Now, here is a little paragraph by Lincoln which he made a rule of his conduct. Suppose you try to write it over and see how much you can improve it. See if each word is the right one, and try to find a better word for the place. Notice how simple this is; all but two are words of a single syllable: "I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1905. A Lost Lincoln Monument. In 1867 It Was Proposed to Erect a National Memorial in Washington in Honor of the Great President—Captured Confederate Cannon Supplied for the Work—No Record Now of the $100,000 That Was Raised for This Object. ABRAHAM LINCOLN A movement to erect a monument to President Lincoln has recalled the existence and mysterious passing of the National Lincoln Monument association, chartered by act of Congress, March 30, 1867. The plan was backed by the most prominent men in the country at the time, and $100,000 was raised by popular subscription. The design for the monument was executed by Clark Hines, the sculptor's *a* site in front of the Capitol was selected, and captured Confederate cannon, were turned over to the association by the war department from which to cast the bronze figures surmounting the pedestal. But the association and its organizers seem to have vanished into thisirr, work on the monument was never even begun, and so far as can be learned the money was never returned. From 1867 to 1882 the record of the association is clear, but there is absolutely nothing to show what became of it after that date. The list of incorporators submitted with the form for the charter included such prominent men as James Harlan, Alexander Ramsey, Schuyler Colaf, Frederick Douglass, Godlove S. Orth, Shelby M. ABRAHAM LINCOLN Culom, Samuel Shellenbarger and Richard Yates. Senator Culom of Illinois, whose name appears as one of the incorporators, said recently that he didn't remember anything about the association and couldn't say why the project was not carried out or what became of the $100,000 collected in one dollar subscriptions from all over the country. From the record it appears that on June 25, 1868, a little more than a year after the Congress obtained its bronze and brass cannon and ordnance out of which to cast the principal figures surmounting the pedestal. The act provided that no such allotment of ordnance should be made, however, until the voluntary subscriptions to the monument fund should reach $100,000. While no record can be found to show just how much money was collected, it is probable in view of the above law that the amount was in excess of $100,000, as the records of the War department show that under the act twelve brass cannon were issued to the association. The last Congress record of the association is an act passed in 1882, providing that five trustees should constitute a legal quorum of the association; one of the trustees was enacted owing to the bring out of interest in the project and the difficulty that had been experienced in securing attendance at the necessary meetings. Recently a number of the engraved subscription receipts of the association have been found. They were executed at the bureau of engraving and bear the signature of Gen. F. E. Spinner, treasurer of the association and at that time treasurer of the United States as well. In view of this fact it has been suggested that if the books of the treasury department were carefully examined the $100,000 or more subscribed by the people and placed in Gen. Spinner's care would be found on deposit. The following description of the monument, as designed by Clark Mills and accepted by the association, was published at the time: "The pedestal to be of granite, and figures bronze, the whole structure to be 70 feet, surmounted by thirty-five polosal figures. Its construction tri- A. "The first presents the slave in his most object state, as when brought to this country. Here we behold him nude, deprived of all which tends to elevate the heart with any spirit of pride or independence. "The second represents a less object stage. He is here partly clad, more enlightened, and hence, realizing his bondage, startles with a love of freedom. "The third is the ransomed slave, redeemed from bondage by the blood of Liberty, who having s struck of his shackles, holds them triumphantly aloft. The slave is pictured gratefully bowing at her feet. "Between these groups are three bas reliefs. The first represents firing on Fort Sumter. The two others represent the senate and house amending the Constitution. "The second story, first group, represents the members of the cabinet in council, while Seward points toward Europe, as though explaining the importance of the act. The second story, first group, and prominent Union men who stood by the president during the civil war. "Third, the fall of Richmond, and the surrender of Lee. 1 "The crowning figure is the president in the act of signing the proclamation. At his feet are Liberty and Justice, while behind sits Time, watching the hourglass, missioned, as it were, from heaven. At the base of the structure are the equestrian statues of leading commanders of the army." It can easily be seen from the above description just how pretentious was the monument proposed, and it is evident from such of the records as exist that the members of the association lost interest in their task before sufficient money was collected to enable them to begin work on the memorial. There are many prodigal men. Washington who think that Lincoln should have such a memorial, and they hope that the awakened discussion of the matter may lead to some definite result. KEPT CASH IN HIS POCKET. Lincoln Had No Confidence in Banks When He Was Postmaster. "The developments in the postoffice department and Senator Culton, "remembered the early times in Illinois when Lincoln was the postmaster of the town of Salem. "The cash drawer of the postoffice there was Lincoln's vest pocket, but it was a cash drawer that was sacred to him. I remember on one occasion when a postoffice inspector came around and made a careful survey of everything in the postoffice. He took account of stock and figured out just how much Lincoln's money had to have cash belonging to the government. Some of Lincoln's friends were afraid that he might be a little short and went to him with offers of money if he needed it. He replied that he guessed Defective Page he had it all. When the inspector figured out the amount that should be there he went to Lincoln and told him how much cash there should be in the postoffice. "Well, I guess I have it," said Lincoln, as he drew forth a bundle of money. He counted it out and it tailed to a cent to the amount the inspector had found' due the government. Lincoln had kept the government's money separate at all times. Although he carried it around with him, as the best method of caring for it, he had never allowed it to become mixed up with his own money. That incident was characteristic of Lincoln. He was scrupulously honest."—Washington Star. HELD GREAT RIVAL'S HAT. Stephen A. Douglas at the inauguration of Lincoln. When Lincoln was inaugurated the first time there was one little incident that impressed those who saw it. The president-elect came forward upon the platform prepared at the east front of the capitol, and pressed by the momentous circumstances of the occasion, and by a gorgeous wardrobe, in which it was evident he felt exceedingly uncomfortable. The stiff dress coat, vest and pantalons of black broadcloth were enough of themselves to disturb his mental and physical equanimity, but to those were added other incumbrances in the shape of a brand new silk hat and a ponderous gold-headed cane. The cane he managed to put away in a corner, but the dissatisfaction of the hat put pressure on it. It was too good to throw away, too fine, as he thought, to rest upon the rough boards, so, for a minute at least, poor Lincoln stood there in the gaze of assembled thousands, grasping the hat desperately and seeking in vain for a safe place to deposit it. Douglas, who sat immediately in the rear, saw the embarrassment of his rival, and rising, took the shining beaver from its sorely bothered owner and held it during the delivery of the inaugural address. Probably Timothy A. Douglas been told, five years before, that he was destined to hold the hat of Abraham Lincoln while that individual was appearing for the first time as president of the United States the "Little Giant" would have laughed at the very idea. New Story of Lincoln. Lincoln's birthday brings out the usual complement of Lincoln stories, and most of them have been published in one form or another, but J. D. Velver of New York tells one that he says never appeared in print, war, when Lincoln was troubled almost beyond what he could bear, two men from a western state applied to him for some minor offices. The president was disgusted at their importities, but finally told them a story. "One time a king went hunting. On his way to the forest he met a subject riding a donkey. 'Hello, king,' said the subject. 'Hello subject,' said the king. "Where are you subject?" said the subject. "Better not, it to go rain." "No, it not," said the king, "my court astrologer said that it would be fair weather." "No, it's going to rain," persisted the subject, but the king laughed at him and went hunting. It rained hard and the king returned to his castle wet and dragged and ordered that his astrologer's head be cut off. He sent for the subject who had forested. "But I am no good at forecasting," said the subject. But you told me it was going to rain, said the king. "I knew that because my jackass hung his ears down," replied the subject. "Every time he does that it is going to rain." Then I will make your jackass court astrologer," said the king and he did. Lincoln stopped there and his visitor took a little, but hinted that they did not see much point in the story. Then the president added: "Ever since that time every jackass in the kingdom has wanted a job." THE BEST OF VALENTINES What shall I send you for a valentine? Perhaps there's nothing that would please me better Than you, please include this loving heart of mine Within the snowy pages of my letter! Then, please include incense and artiles. But, then, I know that you would deem me heartless! But take it. dear, such as it is—a true and trusting heart—you did not seek it to you. Unconciously the poor thing went to you. Dreamping, and dazzled in one golden minute. Let it hall to you—sweet service this is— its only recompense your smiles and kisses! —Atlanta Constitution. THE GENERAL VALENTINE By Martha Young The February air was full of perfume and damp breeziness. Clouds, purple as the hyacinths as to bloom, scurried up and on—swiftly. A bunch of belated leaves, crisp and dry, in the great oak over the "office," just across the lawn from the Great House, kept up noise enough for a goodly forest. Gen. Pelham stood at the office window and listened to the crisp fluttering of the few dry leaves overhead. Any hour and all weather's the general might be seen looking out that open window to the grave on the lawn where wild grass and bluets grew. The grave always seemed fresh and new to the general, though to the rest of the world it was forty years old. This afternoon his eyes tried to avoid it, though custom kept them constantly turning toward it. and, dear grandpapa, you do know how I hope you will love her. "We be best!" Were his secret designings penetred? Were these with the callouse of youth hurrying him to the sacrifice Stop. No gentleman would so desinate it—the expedient adjustment. "Yes, dear grandpapa, for she sa she has already learned to love you." "Bless my soul!" The old communer sprang from his chair. This w courthship approached along no dail path, but pressed on by she marches. "From your kind letters, grandpapa she already longs to be, indeed, one us—" "Mercy upon us!" The general, be leader that he was, was nigh ready to call a retreat. "Yes, dear grandpapa." Edith is in the garden, the old house. "A man should employ the best means," the general mused aloud, "the best of means. Yes, he mused, "every resource should be used for the present and for those in it——" "Now the present always came and went from the general before he recognized the guest, howbeit he was always politely acquiescent at a chance introduction. For himself, his heart beat in the past. For his grandchildren his thoughts bore all on the future. "This widow Lament—" the general walked with the light, alert tread of the military man back and forth from the window to his stout plantation made desk—"seems a cheerful witch; a woman of parts; a very pretty wit. Doubled very pleasant eyes behind her glasses—'A woman of wealth, of great wealth——' He handed the letters laid out on his desk, letters showing a very pretty wit. "Joselyn Pelham—" he stopped short in his walking to and fro, and addressed himself in stern arrangement—"do I find you a seeker after paltry lucre? Do I find you marring man's finest sensibilities——" But what are the antique sensibilities of age against the pressing necessities of youth and the present? "But—those children—Edith, so like her—an involuntary turn to the woman—her grandchild—they are her grandchildren as well as mine——" "Grandchildren! For that golden-haired darling of the twenty years out under the blues. "Lamont! Lamont!" mused the general. "I recall no statesman, no great deeds—ahem—connected with that name—Lamont. Wealth, even great wealth without—somewhat of prominence—a name of honorable repute—perhaps is not by the discerning deemed wholly sufficient." The old general, straightened to his full height. "The advantage—expedition—might not be upon one side. Expedition! Adjustment! Faugh! Misjarable words. Let a name, widely and creditably known, with that he reached to the row of encyclopedias above his desk. He chose out that stout leather volume XVII; "Pag-Pug." Turning the leaves midway, reading: "Pelham, Jocelyn, G. B. 18—(ahem!) Led famous charge, etc., (reading)—splendid military achievements, etc." Turning the volume—"A line—three lines—only. But, then—who today has three lines in the American Universal? Many a better man, perhaps, has not. True! Every resource for them—for her grandchildren as well. "And to night she come, the widow Lamont, to us here at Prairie Lodge. And to morrow unless—perhaps the foreclosure of Prairie Lodge's mortgage will be advertised. Every resource—" He touched up his white hair and mustache before the tiny mirror that hung on the office wall, and stepped lightly across from the office to the house. "And so, Edith," the old man seated himself stiffly, but elegantly, near the crackling wood blazes, "and so the widow Lamont is to come this evening. The widow Lamont, as we and the world have long called her," with a ripple of laughter, "is already here, $2.40 PER YEAR. and, oh, dear grandpapa, you don't know how I hope you love her." "Love her!" Were his secret designings penetrated? Were these with the callousness of youth hurrying him to the sacrifice? Stop. No gentleman would so designate — the expedient adjustment. "Yes, dear grandpapa, for she says she has already learned to love you—" "Bless my soul!" The old commander sprang from his chair. This was courtship approached along no dilly-marches. "From your kind letters, grandpapa, she already longs to be, indeed, one of us—" "Mercy upon us!" The general, bold leader that he was, was nigh ready to call a retreat. "Yes, dear grandpapa." Edith laid a grasp on the old man's arm, and now the widow Llamont declares that only your sanction is needed for her joyously to put aside mourning weeds and appear before the world as—Matress Josecelyn Pelham! "Just heaven!" The bold brigadier, who had never quailed before the fierce onslaught of the foe, blanched now before such unconditional surrender. "Tell me, Edith," the general pleaded nervously, "does she greatly show her age? Or," mustering all his mettle, "is she well-preserved, and—" The good general tried over his shoulder to take a view in the long parlor mirror to see excellent contour of his erect back. "Oh, grandpapa! Grandpapa! How you do make me laugh!" Who could blame the unintentional thoughtlessness of youth? "Dear grandpapa," Edith clasped her hands about his hands and paced the rug with him, "she has no age to speak of—" "How?" with horror. "She not young?" There must be no immolation of youth, beautiful youth. "She was married only at the deathbed of Mr. Lamont, at his earnest pleadings. She is none other than my old playmate. Do not start so vividly, dear grandpapa! Lulu Carree. She lingered something of the mortgages on our old home and she determined to help us afford, with her surplus wealth. And just once chance brought about renewal of old acquaintance; she met brother Joselyn, his company being encamped near the city of her residence. A childish fancy reawakened and grew into love. I have learned all this from herself just a half hour ago, and—the widow Lamont has now become Mistress Joselyn Pelham, Junior!" "Junior! Ab-h!h! Do I understand you to say—Junior?" "Yes, dear grandpapa—what else could she be? Wife of our Capt. Joselyn Pelham, Jr.—and the office, always your sanctum sacorum, is to be yours still. The old home—the grave"—she whispered; she had never mentioned it to him before, and he had thought these young people, with the usual unconcern of youth, had never seen them, how always, his eyes strayed there. "A dear grandpapa, will remain yours, ours, unchanged—" "My dear child!" Then he stopped midway the heartburn and faced her sternly. "But can you tell me that to do all this there has been no considering—of expedient adjustment—fault! Miserable words!" "None. None. Each loved the other in childhood. They met, they renewed their love before Joscelyn knew of Prairie Lodge's mortgages, and—grandpa, here they come from their walk about the Cape Jessamine Circle. And, grandpa, she wishes, she says, to be your—you know what day this is—your valentine. A valentine? And at my age!" cried the general, and with unctuous relief he reached his old arms to greet with unmurred satisfaction—mistress Joscelyn Pelham, Jr. When, later in the talk was the gayest and the laughter was the merriest, Gen. Pelham slipped out, unseen he flattered himself, (somewhat of insensibility belongs to and becomes youth), to the grave where the thin grass and the bluets grew, for a tender good-night thought for the golden-braided lassie of forty years ago—New York Times.

A very strong effort is being made to save Mrs. Mary Edwards, who is sentenced to be hung at Harrisburg, Pa., on Thursday of next week, for the murder of her husband, from suffering this inhuman, barbaric, unChristian penalty of the law. And petitions and letters containing over 60,000 signatures have been sent to the governor from all parts of this country asking that, if she cannot be pardoned, her sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. The desire for this clemency, however, mainly because she was a white woman—for a woman less to our knowledge. in a converted or general effort on the part of white people to save a black woman from being hung because, for sooth, she was a woman. We have not heard of very much of an effort to save the life of Samuel Greason, who, not directly a partner in the crime, is sentenced to be hung as an accomplice—but more for being an Afro-American, and her alleged paranour, than anything else. Mary Edwards, a daughter of the murderess, who was also arrested and tried as an accomplice in the murder of her father; but who was released and was the principal witness against her mother, has written a statement which entirely exonerates Greason. This statement will be used by Greason's counsel in an endeavor to secure his pardon or commitment to life imprisonment. We hope both will be saved from death, not because she is a white woman, nor because he is an Afro-American man, but because both are human beings formed by God in his own image, both have souls, both have life which was given them by the all-wise creator, who alone should deprive them of it. Like many of the petitioners we are unequivocally, unalteredly opposed to capital punishment for any crime whatever, and we hope Mary Edwards and Samuel Greason will escape it. The Creek Indians have "caught on" to the popular fad in this country and are "drawing the color line" on Afro-Indians who are among them, and object to them as members of the council, and have separate schools. Not long since a Chinaman in New York drew the color line on an Afro-American real estate broker in his chop sue joint, charged him $2.50 for a 25-cent order of the stuff and then hit him with a club because he would not pay the price. The police judge read the riot act to the celestial and fined him $5. Ye gods and little fishes, where is this colorhoplobad fading to end? In a recent speech in the house of representatives, Thomas of North Carolina said: "With the exception of the race question we are ready to co-operate with the people of the North in the solution of all questions affecting the honor and prosperity of the country, in a spirit of patriotism." Mr. Thomas let the cat out of the bag. The South is mad on the alleged race problem, and will not discuss it in a patriotic way, or any other way, except the one unjust, unChristian way in which it has always done. WHIST ONCE A CRUDE GAME. First Known as "Triumph," Wiener the Word "Trump" is Derived. Whist was first called "trumph," a name which was after corrupted into "trump." The eighteenth century saw whist in its primitive form, the whole object of the game being to win by leading high cards or by trumph. Then came the era of Hoyle, which may be said to have lasted from 1730 to 1860, and taught players to think not only of, their own hands but of the other hands also, and to take advantage of the positions of the cards in them. Hoyle also taught that trumps might be more profitably employed than in simple trumping and playing, and that he disarm the adversary and to obtain secondary advantage in trick-making by other suits of less apparent power. It was not until 1860 that the philosophical era can be said to have begun, and the origin of the new movement was a knot of young men of Cambridge, England, known as the Little Whist school. This body kept records of its games, but no one knew of the maths that a team would use in 1861. Coherence in the system of play was still wanting, and this was supplied in 1864 with Dr. Pole's essay on the theory of the modern scientific whist. HOW HE AWOKE ON TIME. Procurred Sleep on Installment Plan With No Risk A party of traveling men were at breakfast in the hotel café. "I ought to be half way to Washington by this time," remarked one, "but I've missed the early train. Forgot to leave a call and overslept." "You're easy," chipped in another. "I have a scheme for getting me up at the right time that is infallible. It's simple, too. If I've been up with the boys to 4 a. m. and must catch a train at 6 a. clock, I lie down on my coop with a shoe in each hand. When I drift into slumber I'm sure to deep one shoe and the both wakes again. I equip myself with both shoes again the performance. In that way I really get sleep on the installment plan and am never in danger of missing connections."—Philadelphia Record In Common Things. Sekk not after for beauty. Let 'e' it glows.

It was some distance, but the guide never hesitated for a moment on the whole route. "Is your door," he said at last, as a house loomed dimly before them. "Bless my soul," he said the old man, "but how on earth you been able to make your way through such a fog?" "I know every stick and stone in this part of London," said the stranger, quietly, "for I am blind!" How to Straighten Paper Who has not been annoyed by blue prints, drawings or other papers which, having been rolled for some time, refused to lie flat when in use? And yet it is a very simple matter to straighten the paper so that it will give no trouble. Hold the paper by the corners or by the ends and draw down over the sharp corner of the drawing board or table, or else lay the hand on the sheet at the table edge and draw the sheet through the other. In this way it can be easily straightened. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE BOOK WORLD A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavery. By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by William M. McGraw. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. A Political History of Slavery" by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question from the close of the 16th century. In the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. Strategists Non Moltke. In reading chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolt one might easily imagine that the revolution were again being enacted in Texas and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: Bismark prepared the war, Napoleon III wanted it, the great bourgeois looked on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with a grievance. He saw in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have Mr. Reid says: "This Political History that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, from a lifelong familiarity and study of the subject, from access to much unpublished information, in the papers of President Heyes of the state office held during a critical period in his personal life, and from mentions with some of the perceptions. Again: "As time goes on fuller justice is being served by the mentions by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and nations, and the better development of wrongs and the better development of wrongs and the better development of Greeley first among public educators, to Chase and Seward, Stanton and Wellesley, and finally to the peer, if not the superior of them all, and certainly the most capable politician of the list, Abraham Lincoln." In Chapter I, the author says: "If there was slavery depreciated by the men who formed the Constitution; who, recognizant with Christian civilization, inconsistent with Christian civilization, inconsistent for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, refrained from inserting in that body the dom. We must conclude that they were not the victims of the moment of that day.

Then follows an acclaimed story of his family life and career. He was effectively interesting and his anti-slavery sentiments. When about 26 years of age he visited North Carolina where he sought to arouse the consciences of slave-holders and the essentials of the social shabby. After his death in 1772, his journal which was published, had a wide circulation on the news of the information. He traveled from colony to colony, pressing remonstrancing and counseling.

By Daniel Walt Howe, author of the Puritan Republic, 8th ed., Indianapolis: Dobbs Meril Co. The war of '61 will never catch up—permanial and never falling topics of absorbing interest. This is so. because it is the ones giants still survive its viciousitudes; those giants still escape, and the imminent deadly breach of their mural marchs; its Gettysburg and Chickasaw fact profoundly influenced the civilizations of the world; because its echoes still reverberate in the various activities of American life. Because of these things the author's work with profit by any one and many individuals of the great strife which has hitherto unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. Howe. One of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Confederacy toward the "Negro Soldier." The author tells us, that the Confederacy mander favored the callment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally deferred; that the Confederacy bill authorizing the enlistment of Negro soldiers was one of the Senate Rattles. The author notes that the desperate circumstances of the Confederacy saw the doom of Richmond and the "cause," a draft order was issued to force the Confederacy to surrender the federate flag, but that before it could be made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the Confederacy's defeat, this chapter is especially interesting at the end. There are other very interesting chapters in the book. The style is clear, uninhibited, and the author has written instructively. --- HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1811. History of the Commune of 1811, translated from the French of Lissagourg, New York International Publishing Co. "History of the Commune of 1811, translated by Eleanor Marx Axelving, is a well volume volume of history, dealing with one of those political convictions which have to be preserved in the present day. The translator has performed the difficult art of preserving the peculiar eglam- grammatic and pointed style of all French works in which Lissagourg appears to be a master. The descriptive art of the author never lain the pages of this book, and the chapter of this book of extraordinary interest. The Commune of 1871 was the culmination of the proclamation of the culmination of a criminal fortor that rested upon those in authority, and which was the proclamation of the prostration of the French by the wonder- strategists Von Molke. strategists Von Molke. one might easily imagine that the creatives of the Revolution were again throughout the country. The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: "Bismark prepared the war, Napoleon II in 1815. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with the war, but our war certain rinse; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have suffered the attack, and supported by this malaise have made palpable to them the folly of the attack, and supported by this malaise have made palpable to them the Tuleries, to Paris if needs be, "War is impossible; we shall combat it as treatise." Poor France! Who will save the? The humble, the poor, those who forse the war. "While the upper classes sell the nation for a few hours of rest, and the liberals in the empire, a handful of men, without array unprotected, rise up against the still alliance, the bourgeois young man who fights the bourgeois young man over to the people, faithful children of the Revolution, to continue the work of the Ingen unite for the study and conquest of the war, in labor, in vain the empire attempts to impose the forces to reduce the workingmen." With a description of the terrific political between the contending factions which finally burst forth in all the horrors of the world. Paris, Marselles, Toulouse and Narbonne have so come to be known for their houses in this fratricial struggle which for madness and unrest has been a defining feature in the history of the human family. Such houses have hitherto been obscure to the student of that period are brought forward by the work of the French historian either from a literary or historical perspective or the achievement of no inconsiderable merit. --- MONEY, BANKING, AND FINANCE.

Boston, and New York: HarperCollins. Dr. Abbott, made the acquaintance of Beecher in the year from the time of his birth, and then came the first forward. He attended Dr. Beecher's church in the city of New York, and the first was given to the character of the great preacher. The book is therefore a book of the first time. The Beecher as it is a sketch of his life and character as he appeared to Dr. Abbott's life, and he was a member of the clergy, a reformer before and during the civil war period, he tells in five chapters, all of which he was given to the clergy, the special importance is the chapter on Mr. Beecher's anti-slavery campaign in England. The first was given to the clergy in the autumn of that year from a season on the continent, his intention being read by the clergy. But he ordered otherwise. At that time the sympathy of the English people and the clergy was overstipulated in moneyed classics, and the man who was overstipulated in moneyed the South, and the man who were a man's name were "was sure to invite every species of insult and indigestion." He was瓶头 for the United of the North and at the time of the war of the war, as well as the other programs of the effect that the British government, in all probability, would be forced by public interest and the need of the country to follow the going forward in America in behalf of the South. Such was the state of feel and interest in the country. The Americans residing in London were, of course, greatly slarmed over such a situation. The British people were a stunted man, and Dr. Beecher to make a lecturing tour through England, speaking in behalf of the clergy, and the other people were to counteract the work of agents of the Conference who were then seduously fanfarely and the clergy were the only people who were the only species and publications. Any other man would have weakened, but having from most of the time the time of the war, more, blood-red placards, insults, hootings and all other smuggled whispers, and the public and the people will be to prevent an unpopular speaker's own life and to prosecute the campaign ANTISEMITISM. Antisemitism. By. Bernard Lazare, 34th. Cloth gift top. $3. New York. Inside. $10. Recent events in Russia have given this book a peculiar timeliness. It is a translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many months before those outbreaks gave a most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and subject to all the odium that is implied in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentile world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest shortcomings. The treatment given the subject is his histories, his relations between Jesus and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps he learns how much of prescribing has been carried on reprobably between the Jews. But the author has resulted a greater mixture of race than he has resulted a greater mixture of race in the mit. The author does not believe in race distinctions whether these be founded upon the color of the skin. No long, however, as the opinion prevails that races are distinct from one another in part and inferiority on the other part there is likely to be true. The author does not believe in between black and white. There are too many illustrative examples in the book that his country and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily arising --- Johnson's Forms of English Poetry.

Twin City hall on last Wednesday evening was the scene of one of the most delightful social functions of the season, the occasion being the whistle of the band. The hall had undergone a wonderful change under the hands of those in charge of the affair and the beautiful decorations were not the least pleasing feature of the occasion. In the hall a large Turkish rug and in the center of the rug was a handsome large table embellished with a beautiful centerpiece and a tall vase containing a huge bouquet of pink roses and narcissus. The room were large vases and jardiners of pink carnations and American Beauties with back grounds of ferns. Handsome easy chairs and rockers surrounded the center table which did not play cards. When the game was called there were eighteen tables in a large circle around the hall and as the ladies were handsomely gowned and the gentlemen were greeting each other with a pleasing one to witness. The game was started about 9:30 o'clock and lasted until 11:00 when refreshments were served. Each table was covered with a handsomely embroidered cloth. The menu contained hors d'oeuvres, pickles, olives, coffee, cakes, tea wafers and ice cream. The napkins bore representations of the four suits in a deck of cards. The ice cream was served in a large bowl and the faces of each of the suits, the cards being formed of white cream and the spots of red or chocolate-colored cream, presenting a novel and appropriate design. While the refreshments were made that morning, the highly entertained with some splendid selections by the famous Colidge-Taylor Quartet which were heartily applauded.

The first in the history of the Twin Cities and the committee in charge of the affair is to be congratulated. Despite the intense cold, those who braved the weather pronounced the most enjoyable event of the season. Fair women, handsomely gowned, and gallant men in conventional dress filled Forester's hall where the master of the profession, Prof. Armant's orchestra furnished music for the occasion, and was all that could be desired. The decorations were e super. The hall, was decorated with red and white bunting draped on the walls and chandeliers. The red and white color scheme was effectively carried out—the patronesses wearing red and white bunting and massaging ribbons of the same hue. Sixteen numbers were on the program and as the sweet strains of "Home, Sweet Home" filled the hall, everyone present expressed the wish that the Charity Ball would become an annual charity affair has created so much excitement in society circles as the announcement of the Charity Ball—society has been in a flutter—and while the attendance was not all that was desired, the committee in charge of the event was so kindly assisted, and are pleased to announce that the Charity Ball of 1966 will be a most elaborate affair.

The senate chamber of the old capitol St. Paul, was filled with some two hundred earnest, thoughtful Afro-American club women last Wednesday afternoon, February 8th, for the purpose of federating the state of Minnesota to become auxiliary to the National Association of Colored Women. Mrs. I. E. Gibbs of the chairman of the conference committee, which met December 15th for the purpose of recommending a call for organization meeting—was upon the adoption of resolutions by the several clubs interested, delegated with power to call the federation meeting to order—and in an eloquent address presented the purpose of the meeting, emphasizing the thought of its perpetuity and helpfulness as the prevailing deep motive underlying the interest and enthusiasm manifested. Mrs. Gibbs paid beautiful him as the individual to whom the honor was due in his element to federate the clubs in the state of Minnesota, and, too, of the altruistic principles governing her labor for a larger sphere of usefulness for the women of the state. The committee on credentials reported nearly one hundred delegates representing fifteen clubs, having a total membership of nearly four hundred in the cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. While awaiting the report on credentials, Mr. J. Addams of the THE APPEALAL attorney F. L. Abbott called upon to speak and both responded in complimentary addresses. The following officers were then elected: State organizer, Mrs. Laura Durant-Hickman, St. Paul; president, Mrs. I. E. Glubs, Minneapolis; first vice president, Mrs. Kittle Terrell, St. Paul; second vice president, Mrs. Alice Johnson, Duluth; secretary, Mary Joyce, Minneapolis; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Laura Fairfax-Colby, Duluth; treasurer, Mrs. M. C. Durant, St. Paul; editor Miss F. H. Dodd, St. Paul. The officers of the state federation with the presidents of the various clubs form the executive board. Plans were laid for the holding of a convention in the coming summer. The officers of the federation will hold their offices until the meeting of the national federation in 1906. The delegates from other cities were entertained by the resident delegates at their homes. Owing to the lateness of the hour a number of greetings from the national officers could not be read. Votes thanked were extended to Messers. Adams and McGhee for their addresses and also to the governor for the use of the capitol for the meeting. The meeting then adjourned.

Easily Traced Back to Their Most Remote Ancestors. The ancestors of the horse were accustomed to roam over the plains, where every tuft of grass or bush might conceal an enemy waiting to spring upon them. Under these circumstances they must often have saved their lives by starting quickly back or jumping to one side when they came without warning upon some strange object. This is a habit which has not left the animal, even after long years of domestication. On the other hand, the donkey is descended from animals which lived among the hills, where there were precipices and dangerous declivities, and from these conditions resulted his slowness and sure footedness. His ancestors were not so liable to sudden attacks from wild beasts and snakes. Besides, sudden and wild starts would have been positively, dangerous to them. Consequently they learned to avoid the very trick which has been so useful to the horse. The habit of eating thistles, which is peculiar alone to the donkey, is also descended from these ancestors. In the dry, barren localities which they inhabited there was often little food; hence they learned to eat hard, dry and even prickly plants when there was nothing else. You'll Be Glad to Know This. The lucidity of this statement, made by a medical journal, will appeal to all hurried readers: "Further evidence of the complex character of toxins was also furnished by the studies of haemolysins and bacteriolysins, which had their origin in the union of an amboceptor and complement and were analogous to toxins, the amboceptor representing the haptophore and the complement the toxophore group."
