wore uddiessul by D. W. Phillips, ox

Life and Cham-let of Abraham Lin

Hpenker said "Pebruary Is u most
fortunate month o far as birthdays
lire concerned. For It wan In thit
month that the two grandest men In
American hl-tory woro born charac
ters that stand out In bold relief from
tho rest of the insignificant personages
that surround them.
"Abrahum Lincoln wni born mi tho
12th of February, ISO The first seven
years of his life were spent on Hock
Spring farm In Hardin county. Ken
tucky. 'Chainctcr Is the mirror th.it exhib
its man's true life anil his (lag of de
fense In times of public opinion. So It Is
with delicacy that I reflect on the
character of tho illustrious Abraham
Lincoln, the redeemer of our country.
The predominating elommts of Lin
coln'? peculiar character were: Klist,
lilr great capacity and power of rea
son, secondly, his excellent under
standing, thirdly, his evalted Idea of
the seiie of light and equity, fourthly,
his Intense veneration lor what was
Ifood and noble.
"I know It Is generally believed that
Lincoln's heart, his love and kindness,
111- tenderness and benevolence, vvete
I1I3 ruling qualities; but this Is an er
roneous Idea in every particular. He
lived, breathed and actid from the
throne of logic, the place ot pMnclple
and deity In man.
From this point Lincoln's life must
be viewed; his views were cornet and
oiiglnnl
"As. Washington stands alone In hls
toiy for freedom, so stands Abraham
Lincoln for humanity, and on bis htow
the world has placed such an immort
elle for his human heart by stroke of
pen make millions of piopcrty men."
The next addict.', will be given by J.

ery one was asleep, there weie sounds
as If a body had fallen, squeals and
screams weiu heurd, followed by a rush
as though cavalery were galloping, Mr.
Moss Investigated nnd discovered a
communication between the stables and
the roof of tho parsonage. The rats
nightly Invaded the house, jumped
down on the celling, used the bell wires
us paiallel bars, lung the bells, squeal

away like frightened sheep
One night Mr. Moss was aioused by

her bedroom tnat evety few moments

is of its resulting In pneumonia. If
icasonable care in used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe we have yet to
learn of a single case having tesulled
In pneumonia which shows conclusively
that this remedy Is a certain preventive
of that dangerous disease. It will cure
la grippe In less time than any other
treatment. It is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by all druggists. Mat

VARYING VIEWS.
What Work or Event of the Century
Is Most Important P
A Uerlln paper opened a wide and
Intel estlng field tor discussion by ask
ing, "What work, or what event, of the
nineteenth century Is of the most im
portance''" In Germany, very na tut ally, the most
answeis favor the foundation of thu
German empire by Rlsmatck. Next In
ouler of numlwrs come those who be
lieve thnt the Darwinian theoiv Is the
most imcortnnt contribution to the
w oi id's knowledge and is entitled to
occupy first place. Then opinions take
on manv hues, some standing up for
the discovers of chlotoform and others
for some particular discovery In the
field ot astronomy.
Along a line entirely distinct Is the
suggestion of n Mi. Suttner.who votes
for the czar's manifesto, while her hus
band, who must be a shallow-pated
man, suggests the Drej fus affair. Many
women consider the "woman move
ment" In general the most important
development of the centurj, which Is
not so bad.
We nie most surprised that the corn
met clal u v of electricity did not re
ceive precedence. It Is of inoie Ini
pottnnce to humanity than the unifica
tion of Germany, which may not he at
all permanent, or the Darwinian the
ory, which, us a well-established theory,
Is still rejected by some ablo scientists.
Rut the field Is open for guesswork
and people with hobbles will favoi their
hobbles.
