Bom in an humble cabin in Kentucky, the wonderful rise of this man to the chief magistracy of the United States," 'clearly exemplifies the height to which a native born eitizen of this republic may rise. As president, Lincoln justified the faith of the people who elected him, by guiding his country safely through the four most critical years of its existence. Had not his life been cut short by the hand of an assassin, Lincoln probably would have been held even dearer in the hearts of his countrymen, both north and south, by the wise policy he intended pursuing during the reconstruction period.

It is hard for the reporters to hear everything that is going on. After getting a "tip" it is no trouble for them to hunt it up. All they want is a "tip." To win the dollar prize it is not necessary that the "tip" be a tremendous piece of news. A little item may win th k prize. Try it once and see if you can't win. i i 1 ; ? !

BUT THEY WERE 'IMPERI FECT" AND SERGEANT ' ' SMITH SAID "NO GO." HAD VARIETY OF AILMENTS There is a trio of men in this county to whom Uncle Sam looks good, but who do not, in turn, appear very fancy to the Government. Recruiting Sergeant Smith, of the local station, was visited by this strange party a few days ago, but they had to leave without making a contract. It seems that ever since there have been recruiting stations in this part J of Indiana, these men, always together, visit the station and make a stab at srettinsr into service. It has come J to be such a habit with them that thev will walk miles" to be turned down, as they invariably are, on account of certain "imperfections." The three came to Sergeant Smith and wanted to enlist. Very well, thought the Sergeant, and he proceed to ask a number of questions, without which there would ha.ye been no trouble. . ; One of the gentlemen was afflicted with "cross-eyes" and on the, firing lire would no doubt kill two men at once, if he did not shoot between them. He tried to hide this flaw in his make-up by a pair of glasses that were tilted so toward the middle that they looked like a carpenter's "square." Another replied gingerly, when asked if he was subject to any disease, that "once in a while he had fits." This would probably Cause more' commbtion than a night attack if one of those "once-in-a-while's" happened '"'oh dress parade, ""and" he had to drop out of the. race. The ' other . roan looked sound enough arid 4e Sergeant thought that herewas where he would put one man 'on' the. ' "right side. When the questioning Was about half oyer, however, this one had to own up to the fact, that he was married, with a wife and Avhat .would be considered a good start at a family. He was tired of a double existence and wanted to shake it all and forget some things. This let him out, and the sergeant looked as if ho -had-fallen down an elevator shaft when lie saw those three file out of the office, each with hope in his heart that some day he would be able to break into good company and wear "blue suit." Sergeant Smith could not understand until it was explained to him that these three men come every six months and try to enlist but are always refused as the Government wishes only "sound, able bodied, unmarried" men as soldiers. All the same, the Sergeant is spending much of his time thinking about his run of "hard luck." IN UNIFORM ONCE MORE. Jot Goar Will Pitch for Conners- . ville's Independent Team During the Coming Summer. (Palladium Correspondence.) Cambridge City, Feb. 11. Jot Goar, of New Lisbon, the great local favor ite ex-league ball pitcher, who was re!ported to have quit the diamond, will there has been a rivalry between Connersville andHartford City as to who would be ; able to secure Goar who has decided to stay with Connersville. He has been doing light exercise all winter and the soreness in his arm, which developed the latter part of last season4 has entirely disappeared. Goar says that his arm was never in better condition and that he hopes to ba more effective than ever before.

REV. GRAHAM ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN

TELLS CONGREGATION He IS THE GREATEST CHARAC- -TER SINCE CHRIST. PAYS A BRILLIANT TRIBUTE To Memory of World's Emancipator His Text From John, "Behold the Lamb of God.V At the First Presb3'terian Church Sabbath morning, in a sermon on "The World's Emancipator," from the text, John 1:29, "Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world," Rev. Thomas J. Graham paid the following tribute to Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is celebrated today. "The present week brings prominently into the minds and hearts of many the name, "Abraham Lincoln," of whom the late Hon. John Hay, the former private secretary of Lincoln and not long ago our agle and honored secretary of state, said: "As in spite of some rudeness, republicanism is the sole hope of a sick world, so Lincoln, with all his foibles, is the greatest character since Christ." "Our heroes we love to honor. Many pulpits this Lord's Day praise this worthy man, a man who, in .reply to a question of Gen. Palmer, "Why in the crisis the people had chosen a one-horse lawyer from a one-horse town for their leader," answered, "Because he' was not bound toany theory which was liable to prove dangerous, but was bound to the right to do the right." "He wrought well. We magnify, aye, even glorify his name and, character today, both of which once passed through the fiery furnace of antagonistic and malicious criticism. "Men of all shades of political sentiment and conviction vie to do him honor.' The Christian Endeavor World gave prizes for the best stories of and concerning him- . The flag over the school houses and exercises in his honor, remind and interest the youth. Banqueters stop to hear his praises. The press joins the chorus, in one instance commenting thus: "In commemorating the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the American people pay a just tribute to a very great man," and points us to heed his ways and words in these davs, "as our society becomes more complex and -, pur national problems increase and expand." "He was an emancipator, man, attorney at law, statesman, President. He proved himself a friend of the oppressed in his high calling. Lowell's tribute to him was in ex alted .tone: "Nature, they say, doth dote, And cannot make a man Save on some worn-out plan, Repeating us by rote : For him her Old World moulds aside she threw, And, choosing sweet clay from the breast o f the unexhausted West, With stuff untainted shaped a hero new., Wise, steadfast in the strength of God and true, How beautiful to see Once more a shepherd of mankind indeed, Who loved his charge, but never loved to lead; One whose meek flock the people joyed to be.

AN IMPOSING STATUE OF LINCOLN. Abraham Lincoln has been dead over forty years, but be Is still a favorile subject with poets and sculptors. In the rotunda of the Historical building in Delaware park. Buffalo, stands a fine statue of the martyr president by the famous sculptor Charles IljXiehaus. This structure was formerly the New York building at the Buffalo, exposition. The statue was executed for the Lincoln Memorial association, by which body it was presented to the Buffalo Historical society. The date of Lincoln's birth was Feb. 12. 1SOO. He died April 15. 1SG5.
