"When I was an office boy for Abraham Lincoln, back In Springfield, 111., in 1854 to 1856," says Major E. W. Mcintosh, of Omaha, "there were no baseball games for a boy to go to and about the only schemes I ever got to play on our "boss" was when 1 could play 'hookey' long enough to go fashing. "I guess 1 was the first office boy Mr. Lincoln ever had at least, I never heard of him hav ing one before me, But he was a mighty good boss and I thought I ran that office just as much as be office boy of to day thinks he is the only important member of the firm in any big office in the country." Major Mcintosh is an old sold ierin fact, he is the last survi vor of the very first Grand Army of the Republic post inaugurated and immediately after a charter had been drpwn up and the char ter members signed their names, back in Decatur, III., in April, 1866, Mcintosh was the first man to sign and be was the first man initiated into the post. "When I was a little boy I lived right across tbe street from Lincoln," says Major Mcintosh. One day we were playing sol dier. I was beating a tin pan for a drum and was at tbe bead of a company of half a dozen ragged little urchins, when Mr. Lincoln looked over the fence and said: " 'Boys, tram up right. We may need you some day. ' "At Christmas, which was on ly a little way off, Mr. Lincoln gave me a little toy drum. I practised on that drum from morning until night. And vears afterward, when I was a young man and President Lincoln is sued a call to arms, I was the first man to take my stand in front of the old court house at Bloomington, III, and there 1 beat the roll which called for volunteers. I didn't use the Lincoln drum that day, but a new one that could be beard all over town. I have that little toy drum yet It is my most treas ured possession. "1 was just ten years old when 1 did my first work for Mr. Lin coln. That was to whitewash his fence. He liked the work so well that he took me into bis of face as errand boy and I remain ed with him two years, until , my father moved away from. Springfield." BRUSH CREEK.

For whatever happened or didn't happen Tuesday, nobody has a word of complaint to utter against the weather man, for nev er was the weather" more favor able to the polling of a large vote. Outside of the activity displayed by the professional politician, or those having a personal interest in souks one or other of the candi dates, there was an absence of the "hurrah" that characterized the old time political campaigns in this county. The table found at the top of this page will show tbe vote received by each, which, while not official, is very nearly, if not altogether, correct. From the returns received up to tbe time of going to press, and from the claims of the State Chairmen, in the possibly doubt f ul localities, among them 1 ndi ana, Ohio, Nebraska, Colorado, and West Virginia, it seems probable that Taft in the elector al college will have 322 votes against 161 for Bryan thus beat ing him two to one. It is still possible that Nebraska and Ohio may change to Bryan and the vote in some of tbe western suites is so delayed that at best tbe bas is for making estimates is ex tremely meager. Pennsylvania '8 vote, as was ex pected, showed large and uniform gains for Bryan as compared with Parker's vote of four years ago. But tbe Roosevelt plurality of 502,951 in 1904 was only about cut iu halves, and there is no indica tions of important gains for tbe Democrats further than these re duced pluralities show. Mr. Taft achieved tbe remark able feat of carrying Greater New York city by 10,000 plurality over Bryan. Governor Hughes is re elected by a safe plurality of about 50, 000. He beat Cbanler in the State outside of the city by about 12,000, while Cbanler cur ried Greater New York by about 70,000. Four Years For Girl Forger. Four years' confinement In the penitentiary was the verdict of the jury which tried Dora Smith, the seventeen-year old Luray, Va., girl, charged with burglary and forgery. She was given two years on each cjunt. The girl was said to have forged her fath er's name to an order which she presented at one of the Luray stores. When she begins her term she will be the most youth ful prisoner in the penitentiary and the youngest white woman ever given a penitentiary sen; tence from the valley of Virginia. A Valuable Tip. After exposure or when you feel a cold coming on ta ke a few doses of Foley's Honey and Tar and it will expel the cold ftom your system. It cures the most stubborn coughs and colds, and prevents pneumonia. Trout's drug store. Tbe Huntsman. One player is the Huntsman; while all tbe others sit in a circle he gives each one a name, calling oue his coat, his hat, shot, belt, gun, flask, dog, etc. The huntsman then walks round outside the circle and calls, for instance, for his gun. The player who represents the gun at once gets up, tanes hold of the huntsman's belt and walks 'round after him. The huntsman calls for other accoutrements, till all the players are going round, each having hold of the player in front of him. When all are running fast, by order of the huntsman, he suddenly shouts "Bang!" when all, including the hunts man, must let go and rush for seats. One player will necessar ily be left out and must pay a for feit for his failure, or he may be counted out of the game and a chair removed. Or, if so arrang ed beforehand, the one left out may become buutsman and the game go on as before. Attcmpl to Burn Property.
