By J. A. EDGERTON. Copyright, 1915. by American Press Association. IT Is one of tbe anomalies of history that the thing which was considered during Abraham Lincoln’s administration bls chief source of weakness has become bls greatest strength. His cabinet and gen 6rals complained bitterly of his numerous pardons. To them his inability to refuse requests was tbe one flaw in his character. To us it seems the brightest jewel in his crown. The world will not soon forget his service In preserving the Union and liberating a race, but even if it should it could never forget his sentiment “With malice toward none, with charity for all.” Men never yet have meas ured the conquering power of love. There is nothing so strong as meek ness, nothing so enduring as mercy. inasmuch as Lincoln embodied these principles, they will render his memory strong and enduring. Tbe world will consider him mightier for having saved life than were all those who destroyed it; that his kindliness was more potent than his cannon and that while his armies conquered the south and freed tbe slatfe. bis bumariity will be potent in conquering the race and liberating all nations. Sympathy wins men unawares, clemency is mightier than powder and ball, and the victories gained by forgiveness are permanent. Lincoln was an elemental being. There were no shams or artificialities about him. He was what he appeared to be, "even as the oak or rock Is what it appears to ba His first characteris tic was love of truth. He was plain because plainness does not deceive. Having nothing to conceal, be was un affected. He was willing to honor the handiwork of God by letting himself shine forth as God ihade him. He was unpretentious, tor pretense would but have dimmed bis luster. He did not accept mere authority, but dug to the original-sources of knowledge for him self. He thought much and read tittje. but what be did read was of the best and was thoroughly digested. He was so utterly logical that he bad to be honest, for dishonesty Is the most 11 logical thing in the universe. He was weak in a wrong position, but no man was stronger In tbe right He made little profession of religion, but lived It His second quality was love of man He could not resist an appeal £o bis compassion. But he could be immovable when a questton of principle was involved. Having made up his mind that a thing was right no power on earth could budge him. Where no moral issue was at stake no man was more pliable. His heart was tender, and he was easily moved to laughter or to tears. His sense of justice was strong, but his charity was stronger yet Loyal to his friends, forgiving to his enemies, mighty in his wrath, bnt mightier still in bis patience and for bearance. Abraham Lincoln was the best exponent of the teachings of tbe Nazarene that has appeared in our times. in December, 1863, a lady called on President Lincoln In behalf of a Cap tain Ross, grandson of one whom she termed the “greatest” of American emancipators, placing emphasis on the word “greatest” it appears that the grandfather. Captain Isaac Ross, freed all bls own slaves and sent them to

Liberia at great expense to himself, f All this the lady recounted, drawing attention to the fact that Mr. Lincoln was only freeing other people's slaves. <} So far from being offended at the woman’s invidious comparisons, the « great war president evinced the most lively interest in the story, granted the | request and showed great good nature concerning the incident General Augur, when in command of S the defenses at Washington, caught a spy whom he regarded as a peculiarly obnoxious specimen of his tribe. There was no question of guilt and quick <j work was made of a court martial and * conviction. The spr was to be hang | ed the next morning, and General Au > gur went to the war department to have the papers approved. It happen | ed that Lincoln and Stanton were both | absent from the city, .and Charles A. Dana was left in charge. He promptly signed the papers, and Augur and be 3 congratulated each other that this one | spy would trouble the Union cause no <. more. The next morning Dana met | Augur and asked about the execution. « In a disgusted manner the general said | there had been no execution. I Lincoln had reached home at mid | I night, and before he wept to bed the | accused man’s friends got around the president and secured a pardon. General Augur could never refer to the in 4 cident without showing anger. | High Prices for Uncoin Relics. | A record price for a plate was | brought at a sale in New York city, 4 $42.50 for a pale blue ironstone china | plate with a little landscape in the <; center, a plate with no value as such, | but sold as a Lincoln relic. The sec- | ond record breaker was an old knife 4 and fork, steel, with bone handles, | which started at S2O and went to $52.50, the selling point ; The plate, was used by Lincoln in his <5 1 home in Springfield, Ill'., in 1837, and | i the knife and fork at the same time | j A tall tin pedestal lamp, with a double | ; whale oil burner and acorn shaped oil | font, with a tall standard and panlike | base, used by Lincoln in his law office 6 at Springfield, brought $l6O, and an | old chair of rather pretty shape with | rush bottom brought the same price. These four relics of the martyred | president were taken by Dr. Norton <. with other relics from the Lincoln log | cabin, which was exhibited In New « York In 1866, in lieu of fees which were to have been paid him for lectur- a Ing at the cabin. 3 Booth's Brother on Lincoln Shooting. | A letter to General Adam Badeau by | Edwin Booth, brother of John Wilkes 4 Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln, | written only three days after the as 4 sasslnation, was published recently. In | j part It reads: 5 “For the first time since the damna | ble Intelligence stunned me that my | brother Wilkes enacted this fearful. | hellish deed am I able to write. * * ’ | You must fee! deeply the agony 1 bear | h tn being thus blasted in all my hopes | by a villain who seemed so lovable and | in whom all his family found a source | of joy in his boyish and confiding na ture. • • • Abraham Lincoln was | my president, for in pure admiration of | his noble career and Christian princi- | pies i did what 1 never did before—l <! voted and for him.” I

Croxone is the most wonderful remedy yet devised for the cure of such troubles because it removes the cause. It is entirely different from all other remedies. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and linings; cleans out the clogged up pores ; neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid, and makes the' kidneys filter and sift from the blood all the poisonous waste matter that clog the system and cause such troubles. It matters not how long you have suffered, how old you are, or what you have used,, the very principle ot Croxone is such, that it is practically impossible to take it into.the human system without results. There is nothing else on earth like it. If you suffer with ijains in your back, and sides, or hav’e any signs of kidney, bladder trouble, or rheumatism, such as puffy swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if you are nervous, tired, and run down, or bothered with sleep disturbing urinary disorders, Croxone will quickly relieve your misery.
