TO BECOME THE NATION'S

IDOL.

maha. Neb.. Nov. 14. "When I

was an office boy for Abraham Lin- j coin, back in Sprinfield, 111., in 1834 to 185C," says Major E. W. Mcintosh, of Omaha, "there were no baseball games for a boy to go to, and the only schemes I got to play on our 'boss was when I could play 'hookey' long enough to go Ashing. "I guess I was the first office boy Mr. Linsoln ever had at least I never heard of him having one before me. But he was a mighty good boss, and I thought I ran that office just as much as the office boy of today thinks he is the most important member of the firm in any big office in the country." Major Mcintosh is an old soldierIn fact he is the last survivor of the very first Grand Army of the Republic post inaugurated, and immediately after a charter had been drawn up and the charter members signed their names, back in Decatur, 111., In April, 18W, Mcintosh was the first man to sign, and he was the first man initiated into the post. "When I was a little boy I lived right across the stret from Lincoln," says Major Mcintosh. "One day we were playing soldier. I was beating a tin pan for a drum and was at the head of a company of a half dozen ragged little urchins, when Mr. Lincoln looked over the fence and said: "Boys, train up right. -We may need you some day." "At Christmas which was only a j little way ofT, Mr. Lincoln gave me a little toy drum. . I practised on that

drum from morning till night. And years afterward when I was a young man and President Lincoln issued a call to arms, I was the first man to take my stand in front of the court house at Bloomington, 111., and there

I beat the roll which called for volunteers. I didn't use the Lincoln drum

that day, but a new one that could be heard all over town. I have that littie toy drum yet. It is my most treas-

"I was just ten years old when I did my first work for Mr. Lincoln.

Tnat was to wnuewasn ms ience. tie liked the work so well that he took

m into his office as errand boy, and

I remained with him two years, until my father moved away from Springfield. . .

Vl've always remembered one thing

Uncoln said to me. It was 'Work

hard, be honest, never gamble, keep smiling and you will succeed. The

world has no use for a grumbler who

always keeps his head down and al

ways sees the dark side of life.'

"'If a cow kicks oter a bucket of milk, just milk the next cow and keep on smiling. Don't abuse the cow,'

was another of Mr. Lincoln's sayings

"Lincoln always looked like he

ought to have been arrested for run

zting a boneyard. And his wife was homely as a mud fence in wet weather. He was always joking and his wife never had anything to say. In fact she used to think his jokes awful and never could see any fun or wit .In anything he said. "I went down to Washington one time to see him. . It was the third year of the war, I believe. They were not going to let me see him, but I got a fellow to tell him that his office boy was down there and wanted to see him. A few minutes later the fellow came back and said he did not dare to resist his office boy in any thing he wanted to do and so I got to see him. And that night I went around to his home and took dinner with him. We sat out in the kitchen and talked about Springfield when I was his errand boy. I never saw him after that day."

Roosevelt's Life Endangered in Africa by Deadly Fever and Not 'Ferocious Beasts Will President of United States Be Among Countless Numbers Who Have Gone to Dark Continent to Hunt, But in Return Have Met Death?

Baran A. D. Altamonte. Washington, D. C, Nov. 14. President Roosevelt has decided to go at the end of his presidency to British East Africa, there to try for big game. Frankly up to a few days ago, I did not believe it could be true. But then came the published route of the voyage and the announcement that a magazine had bidden a dollar a word or the exclusive right to publish the adventures of the president. I began to believe that it was really true and I went to see the publishers. Yes, I was told that the president had been considering the trip for some

the city in the interest of equal suffrage. Five of the young women will come from the west side of the Cascade mountains, and a quintet will be named on the east side,, thus giving both , parts of the state equal representation. The purpose is to secure the signatures of thousands to a petition urging the coming legislature to subnit for popular vote an equal suffrage amendment to the state constitution. The girls will also do missionary work among hold-over and newly elected members of the legislature of 1909. Mrs. Hutton, who Is president of the

Whoever advisee him to go is sending the president to almost certain death not from the wild beasts of the jungle, but from disease. If It be true that he refused to be a candidate for a presidential term because airs. Roosevelt was afraid of an attempt on his life, I do not understand how she could be willing to let the president go to Africa to East Africa, especially to hunt lions, rhinocerouses, hippopotami and antelopesand to run the gravest chances

of dying there.

and always between twenty-three and thirty-five years of age. The English government, the Congo Free State, the German government, with the exception of some officers of higher rank, do not send out into the African service any but men over twenty-three and under thirty-five years of age. These employes are ordered not to expose themselves to the dangers of hunting. The most redoubtable dangers are not the ones due directly to hunting. It is not the assault of a wounded lion, nor the destructive rush of the rhinocerous or the elephant, not the attack of the hippopotamus. Neither are the fangs of the crocodile to be feared. No, all these dangers, more or less, exaggerated by African travelers are avoidable and become almost nothing by the skill and cold

i blood of the brave hunter. Theodore

Roosevelt is all of this. No. the real the terrible, the unavoidable danger is the African fever. Very few white people can say that they have visited the center of Africa without having fallen ill of this terrible disease. Among thousands of explorers and hunters hardly any have been spared from it, and these for some special reasons or for an extraordinary physical constitution. Dr. Henry Druminond, one of tire most intelligent African travelers speaking of this, says: "I never knew of a white man who

UNKNOWN BAND LED GOYENS TO BELIEVE THAT HE WAS BEING RESCUED ON HIS WAY TO CRUEL DEATH.

Galveston, Tex., Nor. 14. The

sworn confession of Hoyt Young, one

of the four men arrested with Will Goyens on charges of cattle stealing.

has cleared the mysterious disappearance of Goyens from the Trinity coun

ty jail more than a month ago and

proved that Goyens was taken from the jail by four men implicated in the same crime and shot to death and his

body cremated. E. J. Chandler, a prominent cattleman, of East Texas, has been arrested on a charge of murder with three others as accessories. The confession states that five men had been arrested for cattle stealing and Will Goyens turned state's evidence, which Implicated Chandler as the leader of the organized band and told the hiding place of more than one hundred cattle hides which Chandler had buried after disposing of the beeves at good prices. All of the men but Goyens were released on ball. On the night of September 14 four men procured keys, and, forcing an entrance into the county Jail, led Goyens to believe they had come to his rescue and he accompanied them to the woods. Here they shot him to death; and, building a fire of logs, attempted to cremate the body and his valise of - clothing. " The authorities
