For his merciful kindness is great toward us; and thè truth of thè Lord endureth forever. Psalm 117:2. Indiana’s Most Neglected Spot IN THE back end of thè public school yard in one of thè villages of Indiana stands a small tablet carrying thè reminder that on thè spot once lived one of thè greatest men this Nation or thè world has produced. The school yard is without trees or grass and thè tablet is surrounded within a few feet by thè coal sheds and outhouses of thè school and thè neighboring dwellings. These sheds are of thè tumble-down tvpe usually sound in communities that are lacking in wealth and backward in progress and improvements. ' The tablet erected by locai popular subscription is thè only recognition that thè people of Indiana have ever accorded thè fact that on this spot was located thè cabin in which Abraham Lincoln spent fourteen years of his lise. In excavating for thè foundation of thè tablet, workmen sound thè stones of thè hearth before which young Abe Lincoln lay and studied by thè light of glowing logs. These stones form part of thè foundation of thè tablet. During thè coming week thè trustees of thè Indiana Lincolq, Memorial Association will visit thè site of thè Lincoln cabin at Lincoln City, and it is to he hoped thev will return with some definite recommendations by which thè State of Indiana may acquire this historic spot and convert it into a suitable memorial of thè martyr President who laid thè foundations of his greatness in thè Hoosier State.

Faster Fortune Tellers THE New York Stock Exchange will soon bring out a stock ticker running about a fifth faster than thè model in use now in Indianapolis brokerage offices bringing thè sad news to thè gentlemen who spend their days in chairs before thè blaekboards. It seems that thè sad news doesn’t come fast enough. On a busy day thè ticker sometimes runs a quarter of an hour or more behind prices on thè floor of thè stock exchange. Since thè market can do a lot of shifting in fifteen minutes, plungers will welcome a faster-geared ticker. It brings them eloser to thè battlefield where their dollars are fighting heavy odds. The stock ticker was invented by a preacher, Dr. Samuel S. La ws, back in Ci vii TVar days. A Gold Exchange had been established in New York, to adjust thè price of gold at regular intervals, thus letting bankers and other business men know what their paper money was worth on a gold hasis. A board of trustees met each morning. to adjust thè price o? gold. As thev emerged from conference hundreds of messenger boys pounced on them, eager to rush thè gold price to bank- 1 ers, hrokers and merchants. The trustees, hv thè time thè messengers got through mohbing them, sometimes had to buy new clothes. So they jumped at thè chance when Preacher Laws showed them sketches for thè first electrical ticker machine. Young Thomas A. Edison had charge of thè t- legraphing Service. The first tickers, used exclusivelv for stock reports, were 2rude compared with thè machines in glass eages that todav spit out not only market qvotations but baseball scores as well. More than 7.000 tape tickers are now in use, four-fifths of them recording thè price waves of stoeks and bonds. Of these well over 100 are in use in Indianapolis in thè height of thè baseball season. Of all machines invented hy man, thè stock ticker is one of thè most interesting. Daily it regulates thè emotions of hundreds of thousands of people. lVhat a story it could teli, if it could talk 1 In thè main, thè story would he tragie—blasted exploded dreams, thefts. prison terms, lost fortunes and suicides. The brighter side —thè story of lueky strikes—is thè fame that lures thè moths.
