Seven stars already were gone from the blue field of the flag at Lincoln's nauguration, and still others were fading away. How to keep more states from seceding and how to win back to the Union those in secession was the heart-racking problemn which he faced while standing on the steps of the Capitol, to register in heaven, as he said, his vow to preserve, protect and defend the constitution. When he sat down at his desk in the white house the next morning, he found lvintr rn it n. rpnnrt that

had food enough to last only a few days more. Genera' Scott assured the new president that it was impracticable to attemp to provision the fort and all except one member of

the cabinet agreed with the veteran soldier. When the commanding general recommended that still another fort be given up, there came to Lincoln a sleepless night, through which he watched by his sacred charge, the rended union, in its mortal crisis as the shadow of dissolution lay upon it. The morning found him fixed in his determination to save it. The fort3 should be defended. He had kept his own council in all the soul torturing struggles of that first decisive month of his term. While the Inner Lincoln walked alone under his awful burden, the outer Lincoln shuffled along good-naturedly through the daily routine. As cabi-

1861 March 4, Abraham Lincoln Inaugurated sixteenth president, aged 52. March 15, advised by the cabinet to surrender Fort Sumpter. March 29, he determined to provision and defend it. April 1, because of his supposed unfitness, he was ask ed by Seward to relinquish to him his powers and responsiblliti cs. April 14, Fort Sumpter surrendered. April 16, Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers. July 21, the Union army routed at Bull Run. 1862 July 1, McClellan retreated from before Richmond. August 2, second defeat at Bull Run. Sept. 16-17, victory at Antietam. Sept. 22, Emancipation Proclamation. Dec. 13, Union defeat at Fredericksburg. 1863 May 2-4, Disaster at Chan-cellorsville.

but McClellan stopped Lee In Maryland. Five days after the first victory for the union at Antietam, Lincoln met his cabinet w4th a humorous story by Artemus Ward, and then, suddenly turning from the ridiculous to the sublime, he gravely announced that he had promised God to free the

slaves If the arms of the union should

win the battle. Thereupon he drew

from a drawer the emancipation pro clamation, whose existence had been known to no man.

The darkest winter In American

history since Valley Forge.was yet to come. A fourth army that Lincoln hurled at Richmond met disaster at

Fredericksburg and Chancellorsvllle. and the western army under Grant seemed to be floundering hopelessly In the swamps of the Mississippi. 'My God! My God!" cried Lincoln

In broken tones as he held in his hand the direful message from Chan cellorsville. "What will the country say? What will the country say?" All that night he paced the floor of his office. When the clerks came in the morning they found him eating his simple breakfast at his desk and beside him the Instructions to the army of the Potomac that he had thbught out in the long, silent watches he had kept alone on the bridge. Lincoln never became a great administrator. Except for a term as village postmaster, he came to the presidency wholly without executive experience, never having had a clerk under him. The greatness of this man is to be

found only in his simple humanity and In his leadership of the people. In the first dark year of the conflict, this gift of his had made possible

and probable the ultimate victory by winning to the union the states of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri ani the eastern section of Tennessee. Himself born among the people of the borderland, he knew them and, with his finger on their pulse, h$ had slowly, patiently lea them away from the south and

into the path of loyalty to the union.

The secret of his leadership every

where was the same his kinship with

the people, who never failed him. When statesmen fell away from him they talked of forcing him to resign after Chancellorsvllle the people pressed forward-with the shout. "We are coming Father Abraham, 30(000 more." ; 1 : . . ' The faith, the spidlt, the soul of Lincoln was the fortress of the Union whose stout walla withstood every assault. Even when he confessed, in the gloom of the winter of 1862-63, that he was nearly as inconsolable as he could be and live, he sat down and wrote out this secret pledge to himself: "I expect to maintain ths conflict until successful or until I die, or am conquered or my term expires or congress or the country forsake me." .

measured this quaint, simple-mannered man, smiling and joking as he met the biggest and hungriest swarm of office-seekers that ever assailed a

i president, they were puzzled or dis

heartened. After four weeks, Seward, the secretary of state bluntly pmposed that the new president shouid leave statesmanship to him, and to contlnuo to amuse himself handing out Jobs. Without betraying the least resentment, but with a firm hand, Lincoln put Seward in his place so effectively that in a little while the secretary was writing to his wife, "the president is the best of us." At the first test he had established his moral supremacy over the eminent statesman, whom he had defeated for the nomination. The arrival of the Federal supply ships at the mouth of Charleston harbor was the signal for the Confederate bombardment of of Fort Sumpter. The south had struck the first blow, and the people of the north rallied to the support of the Union. When congress met in extraordinary session on July 4, the president already had enrolled 300,000 thousand volunteer troops. In a few days he started the first army toward Richmond, the Confederate capital, but

Their Medicine Chest For 20 Years

When Folks Quit Coffee because of cost to health or purse, they naturally drink IMSTAOT

IT is characteristic of folks after they pass the allotted' "three score years and ten," to look bark over the iays that are cone ud thoughtfully live theia over. I find myself, at seventy-one, frequently drifting back a quarter f a century, when I see myself in the little drug store I owned at Bolivar, Mo., making and selling a vegetable compound to lay friends and customers what was then known only as Dr. Lewis' Medicine for Stomach, Liver and Bowel Complaints. For many years while Iwai perfecting my formula I studied and investigated the laxatives and cathartics on the market and became convinced that their main fault was not that they did not act on the bowels, but that their action was too violent and drastic, and upset the system of the user; which was due to the fact thai they were not thorough enough in their action, aomo

simply acting on tne upper or small intes

tines, while others would act only on the

lower or large intestines, and that they

almot invariably produced a habit re

quiring augmented doses. I believed that a preparation to produce the best effect mut first tone the liver, then acton the stomach and entire alimentary system. If this was accomplished, the medicine would produce a mild, but thorough eliminatiou of the waste without the usual sickening sensations, and make the user feel better at once. After experimenting with hundreds of different compounds, I at last perfected the formula that is now known as Nature's Rsaitdy, which I truly believe goes further

and does more than any laxative on the market, today. The thousands of letters from users have convinced me I was right, and that tho user of Nature' Remedy as a family medicine, even though ho may have used it for twenty-five years, never has to increase the dose. My knowledge of medicine and the results of its use in my own family and among my friends, before I ever offered it for sale, caused me to have great faith in Nature's Remedy from the very first.

And now as I find roypelf nearing the age

tn

sit each day and read the letters that each

when I must bow to

to anotner life, my

le inevitable and e

greatest pleasure is t

mail brings from people as old or older than I, who tell of bavins used Nature's Remedy for ten, fifteen and twenty years, and now they and their children and grandchildren have beejj benefitted by it. It is a consoling thought, my friends, for a man at my age to feel that aside from his own success, one has done something for his fellow man. My greatest satisfaction, my greatest happiness today, ia the knowledge that tonight more than one million people will take a Nature's Remedy (NR Tablet) and will be better, healthier, happier people for it. I hope you will be one of them.
