A Reminiscence of Lincoln

One of the greatest biographers of Abraham Lincoln, dwells deeply upon the tremendously depressing effect that the Civil War had on the character of that very remarkable man, who possessed so much of the spirit of the Man of Galilee.

The news had come of a great Federal victory, and a lady visitor at the Executive Mansion said to him: "Mr. President, this news should make you very happy."

"Madam" said Lincoln, with a face that seemed to be carrying all the woes of the world, "I never expect to be happy again."

"Well" replied Albert, s'pose we each pay five dollars apiece, and say no more about it."

Some Collector

A Japanese importing firm had an account against a lady to which she paid no attention in spite of their bills and urgent letters soliciting payment. So the head of the firm wrote her a letter, and it read like this:

"Dear Madam: If you do not at once send the money which is owed here, we will immediately take such liberties as will cause you the utmost astonishment."

Be The Best

If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, Be the best shrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if y\u can't be a tree; If you can't be a \ush, be a bit of old grass, Along the old and some happier make; If you can't be a Mus\r, why then be a Bass, Be the liveliest Bass \n the lake.

We all can't be captains, \e must have a crew I There's a something for\ all of us here; There's a big work to do, fnd a lesser to do, And the task we must do. is the near. If you can't be ahighwayfwhy then, be a trail, If you can't be a sun,/be a star; It is not by your size you win or you fail, Be the best of wyou are.

-Douglas KnotL NONE TO LOAN

A small boy who was sitting next to a very Ritzy lady in a crowded street car, kept sniffing iq a most annoying way, until the haughty lady could stand it no longer.

"Boy, have you no handkerchief ?" she demanded sternly. The small boy looked her over very thoughtfully for a few moments, and then solemnly replied:

"Yes'm, but I don't lend it to strangers."
