Lincoln served his country and his fellowmen according to his best judgement and ability; if he had made no mistaks he would have been more than human; but he did his best. We can ail do what he did, in our own work: it may be running a clothing store, or a farm, or a home: it may be as an employee or or as an employer: it may be something big or something little. Let us do it as well as we can. ftolthoUsG, Schulte £ Go. Good Clothes Sellers for Men and Boys
