Senator Mills has a new story about Lincoln. It was told to hhn liy a son of John L. Helm, of Kentucky, who lives In Coisjcana. "OM John L. Helm," said the sena tor, "was a famous character In Kvrr tu ky. He was, It I remember rightly, a governor of the state, but at any rate IiIh position wua a most prominent one. When the Civil War came on Helm was a ra'uld secessionist. He touli not praise the bouth too highly, and could not heap enough abuse upon tne noun, tie was too old to go Into the wur with his sons, and remained home, doing all lie tould to help the Confederate cause and harhrss tho Yan kees who Invaded the htate. Finally ho became so obstreperqjia that"the Fedcial general who was in command i.ear Jlelm'a Iioijhs put him In prison. The old man's age. the high position which" he occupied In the state, Ills wide connection, and especially his in ability to do any actual harm, were all pleaded In his extenuation and he was releasi'd. Instead of profiting by the warnin.i, the old man became more peislatent than ever in his course. Once more he was clapped Into Jail. This happened two or three tlmea. and fin ally, whllo ho was still locked up, tha matter was brought to the attention Hood's Cuie sick licjiUche, bad tasto In the mouth, coated tonzue. bus in tha stnm&nh. Piils dlltrau And Imllvaitlan. Iin not eken, but )iv tonle ttttct. Ss centi. Tlit only Villi to UU IIU llood'i EaiiajurllU. of tho Federal authorities. Even Pres lden Lincoln was appealed to nnd asked to commit the ardent southerner to an Indefinite confinement In order that he might be curbed. "Lincoln listened to tho statement ot the case with more than usual Interest. Then ho leaned back and began to speak with a smile upon hin face. "You nre talking about old man John Helm? Well, did you know that I used to live, wben I was a boy, In Helm's tnwn. He was kind tn me. Ho seemed to like me ns a boy, and ho never loBt nn opportunity to help me. llo seemed to think,' said Lincoln, with another of hU almost pathetic smiles, 'that I would probably mako something of a man. Why, when I went out to Illi nois, poor and unknown, that man gave me the money to pay my way and kep me until I got a start. John Helm? Oh. yes, 1 know him. I think I can fix his case.' "And then." eald Senator Mills, "Lincoln went to a desk and wrote a few words. The bit of writing Is treas ured In the Helm household to this day. This is what the president wrote: " 'I hereby pardon John L. Helm ot Kentucky for all that ho has ever dona agalnjt the United States and all that he ever will do. " 'Abraham Lincoln.'

"Safe from what?" asked Miss Klttlsh. "Burglars." "Wero ou in danger from burglars?" "I think I was. Everybody Is, more or less, but mote especially an unprotected lady In a big house. I've been afraid of burglars ever since John nnd his wife went west nnd left mo by myself." "What hae you done to lnsuie safety?" "I hae bcuMit'foui men's hats, of dif ferent styles and hizes, and I have hung them on tho hat-rack In the hall. When Mr. Burglar suneys the art ay, ho will de cide that there are too many men In that house to make his exploit as safo cs ho might wish, and he will go on to somo other house. I rather flatter mjstif that this Is a pretty good plan. Don't you think so?" GREAT RAILROAD WRECK.

Wall Ktrert Review. New York, Jan. 3. The money mar ket failed to show an easier tone to dny and the Januiiary boom in the prlco of stocks which come people had expected to begin Immodlxtelv failed to arrive on the llnjt business dav of the new year. On tho contrary, there was quite a flush' In the monev rnir ket before tho day passed, and tlu call ing of loans precipitated something very much like a squeeze. The rate for call money ran up to six per cent., and l'tans were placed at that amount, though offerings were made later at 2V4 per cent. There was no actual loan reported dining the day however at less than "V2 per cent. It Is difllcull to say how far the low sales at tho closo may have been manipulative. Cor talnly the stock market all day did not Bh'ow evidence of any great plentltudo of funds available for speculation. Tho situation In the money market kept tho tone of stocks heavy and restricted the grading within narrow limits. Total sales were 230,000 shares.
