Riding Out to the Soldiers' Home One Day With Abraham Lincoln hio friend discovered that the President, like many others of us, had the habit of loading his trousers' pockets with little scraps of paper culled from the newspapers and magazines. Mr. Lincoln, at a sudden turn of the conversation, put his big- hand into his pocket and brought out a bunch of scraps and picked out the little piece bearing this verse, which was apropos to what he had been saying of the urgency of prompt action : "A weaver sat at his loom Flinging his shuttle fast, And a thread that should wear till the hour of doom Was added at every cast." Who wrote the verses the writer does not know. Possibly Mr. Cox in the Book Store will tell.

They come from those particular clothing organiza tions with intelligence enough to know that for their own interest it is good to put quality into their product.
