There were some queer doings at Baltimore eighty years to. Witness this from Griffith's "Annals of Baltimore," publish' In 1U3: "December 14 (1t29), thirty-seven person re drawn by en heroe. In a ear, planned by Mr. Bees Wlnana, f Nsw Jersey, en the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at the rate of about ten miles per hour, or as fast as the her could tret or gallop; which wss done In the presence and te the astonishment ef a multitude of spectators, who, not having witnessed such an exhibition could scarcely realize the effect." And "Peter Barley' First Beek of History, published about the seme time, says: "But ths moat eurteus thing at Baltimore I the railroad.

Lincoln: Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow. Lincoln's birthday passed last Monday without a quiver. It was easy to do. Lincoln stands today as a mere matter of bibliography and lithography. He is no real figure. Most of us agree that he was a great historic figure and let it go at that. We are mighty well glad to let him occupy one of the seats of the mighty and let it go. In campaign time the Coliseum is prolitcally decorated with the Republican worthies sometimes Washington occupies a place by reason of his connection with the Federalist party and Alexander Hamilton but take it all In all for the speech of the evening far the best setting is the picture of Abraham Lincoln. Just why this "cracker" boy of the poor white trash should occupy the position in American history and the esteem of the common or ordinary American citizen just why It should be the fate of this same, great man to be the conjuring word for the most l accomplished demagogue just why it should be hi8 fate to be the foremost by-word of reactionaries. What is the explanation?

The simple truth of the matter is Abraham Lincoln was just one of the IteBt of ls. The simple actions of his life backed up his words when he suid: You will find that all the argumt-nts iu favor of kingcraft were of this class; they always bestrode the necks of the people not that they wanted to do it, but because the people were better off for being ridden. That is the real issue. It is the eternal struggle between these two principles right and wrong throughout the vorld. There are two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says: "You toil and work and earn bread and I'll eat it." No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of the king, who seeks to bestride the people of hia own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one class of men as an apology for enslaving u not her class, it is the same tyrannical principle. This Is essentially a people's contest. On this side it is a struggle for maintaining in the world that form and substance of government whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men to lift artificial weights from all shoulders; to clear the patus of laudable pursuit for all; to afford all an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life. Yielding to partial and temporary departures, from necessity, this is the leading object of the government for whose existence we contend. But regardless of party doctrines and party names, while man exists it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind; and, therefore, without entering upon the details of the question, we defend those means which will give the greatest good to the greatest number. And when this simple great man backed up those words with his actions when he strode unhesitatingly through the perils of national dissolution only stopping to speak words of encouraging cheer to his fellow men; only stopping to listen to all sides he spoke these words as applicable to the situation today as it was the day he uttered them: Understanding the spirit of our institutions to aim at the elevation of men, I am opposed to whatever tends to degrade them. Public opinion settles every question here; any policy to be permanent must have public opinion at the bottom something in accordance with the philosophy of the human mind as it Is. The property basis will have its weight. The love of property and a consciousness of right or wrong have conflicting places in our organization. A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks, and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does, of necessity, fly to anarchy or to despotism. Unanimity is impossible; the rule of a minority, as a permanent arrangement, is wholly inadmissible; so that, rejecting the majority principle, anarchy or despotism In some form is all that is left. This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right ot amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it. Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world? In our present differences is either party without faith of being in the right? If the Almighty Ruler of Nations, with his eternal truth and justice, be on your side, or on ours, that truth and that justice .will surely prevail by the judgment of this 'great tribunal of the American people. Let us be diverted by none of those sophistrical contrivances wherewith we are so industriously plied and belabored contrivances such as groping for some middle ground between the right and the wrong; vain as the search for a man who should be neither a living man nor a dead man; such as a policy of "don't care" on a question about which all true men do care. Let us in this year of our Lord remember that Lincoln's words apply to yesterday today and tomorrow.

-Some Task. The office manager turned to the new boy. "Here, George," be said, "go into the next room and look up 'collaborate.' I am not quite sure about the spelling." The boy disappeared and didn't return. The manager put the letter aside and took up some other duties. Presently he remembered the boy and went out to look for him. He found the lad studying the big dictionary with great lntentness. "What are you doing, George?'' ho asked. The boy looked around. "I forgot the word you told me, sir," he replied, "an' I'm lookin' through the book to find it" The manager gasped. "How far have you got?" "I'm just finishing the second page, sir."

How,. then, to conclude?

Heart to Heart Talks. Bjr EDWIN A.TCYB.

"MOTHERING" A BABY. The Countess Elsie Van Schaak of Berlin, Germany, recently in Chicago, makes a suggestion that is worth while. This is her idea : In Berlin, w here the plan 1s in operation, every woman wbo can afford to do so Is urged to "mother" one baby. The baby is not to be taken from its own mother. The foster mother is to undertake to clothe the baby, provide for it, be sponsor for it and defend it. Isn"t that fine? Every woman, married or single, is a potential mother. She finds her highest self In motherhood. The mother instinct being the strongest instinct of woman, there can come to her no higher pleasure than to care for a child. If she has no child of her own why not be a foster mother to some lioor baby that needs fostering? The newspapers are full of advertisements of mother hungry women for babies to adopt. Adoption of a child is all wrong, according to the countess. She says the baby should be taken from its own mother only as a last resort or because the mother is unworthy or incapacitated. It is the refinement of cruelty to take a babe from its natural mother. But If every married woman who has no baby or every single woman over twenty-one years who can afford it could foster some one of God's little ones she would not only minister to her highest happiness, but would be doing God's service. The countess says it costs about $1.50 per week to properly dress, feed and care for a child up to the age of three years. About $80! Could a hungry hearted woman buy three years of pleasure in any other way for such a sum? If the thousands of American women who can easily afford it would do this high service, what an opportunity they would have to mold and fashion the future of thousands of American citizens! The Berlin plan is good. If followed by the women of this country it would abolish much of the hardships of .the little children of the poor, lessen human suffering and cut down the list of divorces. And In the care of the tiny waifs wealthy women and girls would find the joy that would come by being reeponsS in their hearts for just one baby.

GUARDING THE KING.

Old Engliah Mothoda Who the Monarch Wee Taken Sick. The law raises peculiar safeguards round the person of the English sovereign In case of sickness. They are mere survivals in the present settled order of government, but at one time the opportunity which the king's Incapacity afforded aspirants to the throne or treason makers to shorten his days at a minimum of risk of detection made the precautions reasonable. "If the king be taken sick." says Coke in his "Institutes," "there ought to be a warrant issue from tho privy council, addressed to certain physicians and surgeons, authorizing them to administer to the royal patient potiones, syrnpos. laxitavas. medlclnas, etc. Still, none of these should be given except by consent and advice of the council, and they ought to set down in writing everything done and administered, and they should compound all drugs themselves and uot intrust their preparation to any apothecary." Coke wrote thus of precedent In the year 1610, and today the law is practically as he found it, although at the present time in practice the privy council simply hears reports of the progress of the king's malady and leaves actual treatment entirely to th physicians in direct charge of the case. Exchange. GIANT TREES OF JAMAICA. Thay Shed Maasaa of Beautiful Silk Cotton Evary YaaA The silk cotton trees of Jamaica are one of the most striking natural features of this beautiful Island, and visitors express ii...ju curiosity concerning them. The fiber of the cotton Is too short for textile uses, but Its quality Is delicate and fine. The trees are most interesting in structure. They reach a height of 200 or 300 feet It Is the largest tree on the Island, and the branches often overhang more than an acre of ground. Some of them are centuries old. dating back to the landing of the Spanlards. They have withstood the tropical winds of the region through the adaptation of their structure. The leaves are very few, and there are heavy masses of roots. This giant tree flowers once a year. It bears a number of pods much the size and shape of a cucumber. These pods dry and burst, and out floats the beautiful cream colored silk cotton, covering the ground and sailing In the air for some distance. The seeds, of course, are borne on the silky filaments. This cotton Is used at present only for pillows. Its use as guncotton has been spoken of. The trees are often felled by the native Jamaicans and hewn into canoes, which last for generations.
