In tbia apvec-b Lincoln uot only definitely aevered bla relatione wltb toe wniga, nut ao uayirra ntm new political aMociatea wltb bis own interpretation of tbe times tnat be became at once their unques tioned leader. At this Bloomington Republican convention Mr. John M. Palmer pre sided and made a stirring free-soil speech. Mr. Emery, a "free-state" man Just from "bleeding Kansas," told of the border ruffian" raids from Missouri upon the free-state settlers in Kansas: the burnings, robberies, and murders they were then committing; and asked for help to repel them. When he fin ished, Lincoln was vociferously called for from all parts of Major's large hall. He came forward and took the platform beside the presiding officer. At first his voice was hesitating. There was a curious introspective look in his eyes, which lasted for a few spo ments. Then his voice began to move steadily and smoothly forward, and the modulations were under perfect control from thenceforward to the finish. He warmed up as he went on and spoke more rapidly; he looked a foot taller as he straightened himself o his full height, and his eyes flashed fire; his countenance became wrapped ln Intense emotion, he rushed along like a thunderstorm. He prophesied war as the outcome of these aggres sions, and poured forth hot denuncia tions upon the slave power. The con vention was kept, in an uproar, ap plauding and cheering and stamping, and this reacted on the speaker, and gave him a tongue of fire. The thrilling scene in that old "Bloomington hall 40 years ago arises in my mind as vividly as the day after its enactment. There stood Lincoln in the fore front, erect, tall, and majestic in ap pearance, hurling thunderbolts at the foes of freedom, while the great con vention roared its endorsement. I never witnessed such a scene before or since. As he described the alms and aggressions of the unappeasable slave holders and the servility of their northern allies as illustrated by the perfidious repeal of the Missouri Com promise two years previously, and his diet, his religion, his children, his household, his charities, his personal beliefs, his relations with his neighbor, his horse, his ox, his thought, they would, as far as , possible make obedient to the law and the police. For the moment, this kind of radicalism Beems in the ascend ancy ln Oregon. It has almost.' : swept the present legislature off its feet. If the thing goes on. Seafaring life is hazardous and needs agility, dexterity and stamina. By glv ing the sailors good conditions you make better men.

BOYS AND GIRLS their grasping after the rich prairies of Kansas and Nebraska, to blight them with slavery and to deprive free labor of this rich inheritance, and ex horted the friends of freedom to re sist them to the death, the convention went fairly wild. It paralleled or ex ceeded the scene ln the Revolutionary Virginian convention of SI years be fore, when Patrick Henry Invoked death if liberty could not be preserved, and said. "After all, we tnust fight." While Mr. Lincoln'did not write out even a memorandum of his Blooming ton speech beforehand, neither was it extemporary. He intended days be fore to make it, and conned it over in his mind In outline and gathered his facts and arranged his arguments ln regular order and trusted to the In spiration of the occasion to furnish him the diction w-lth which to clothe the skeleton of his great oration. It was my Journalistic duty, though a delegate to the convention, to make a longhand report of the speeches de livered, for the Chicago Tribune. I did make a few paragraphs of report of what Lincoln said ln the first eight or ten minutes, but I became so ab sorbed ln his magnetic oratory that I forgot myself and ceased to take notes, and Joined with the convention ln cheering and stamping and clapping to the end of his speech. I well re member that after Lincoln had sat down and calm bad succeeded the tem pest, I waked out of a sort of hypnotic trance, and then thought ef my report for the Tribune. There was. nothing written but an abbreviated fntroduc tlon. It was some sort of satisfac tion to find thai I had not been "scooped," as all the newspaper men present had been equally carried away by the excitement caused by the won derful oration, and had made no re port or sketch of the speech. It was fortunate, however, that H. C. Whitney, a cool-nerved young law yer and ardent friend of Lincoln's who was present, with nimble fingers took down so much oi the exact words as they fell from the great orator's lips. that he was afterward able to repro duce the speech almost Identically as it was utterly, and has thus saved It to posterity. m The effect of the speech was such on his hearers that Lincoln bounded to the leadership of the new Republl can party of Illinois, and no man aft erward ever thought of disputing that position with him.-.

' How Lincoln Silenced Cartwright ABRAHAM LINCOLN had aXdra matlc and amusing clash Wits Peter Cartwright, the pioneer Meth odist minister, that has escaped the thoroughgoing rakes of the biographers, who have not misse much of anything worth narrat ing. The story la told in th February . Century by J. B. Merwin. who had it from the great president himself. It seems that Cartwright, who was running against Lincoln for congress, organised a religious revival meeting ln his own home town in opposition to a rival meeting at which Lincoln was te speak. Against the advice of hit friends, who knew that Mis religious Irregularity would make it seem that he was looking for trouble, Lincoln at tended the Cartwright meeting. "He sat in a rear seat." says Mr. Merwin, and probably his presence cast a depression over the meeting. Cartwright spoke powerfully along evangelistic lines, warning the un re generate of their danger. Finally he gave the invitation about as follows; " 'All who desire to lead a new life, to give their hearts to God, and go to heaven, will stand.' "A sprinkling of men, women and children rose. After they were seated the preacher went on: " "All who do not wish to go to hell will stand.' "All the audience responded to this In action with the exception of Lin coln. Whereupon everyone expected something would happen; and It did. " 'Sit down,' said the preacher. "I observe." he continued, when all was again still, 'that many responded to the first invitation to give theif hearts to God and go to heaven. And I further observe that all of you save one indicated that you did not desire to go to hell. The solo exception.' continued the preacher, his voice grow ing more impressive, 'Is Mr. Lincoln, who did not respond to either invita tion. May I inquire of you, Mr. Lin coln' said Cartwright with great earnestness and ln a loud voice, 'where ou are gomgr The tall form of Lincoln rose to Its full height, and he replied: i came here as a respectful listen er. I did not know that I was to be ingled out by Brother Cartwright. I believe ln treating religious matters witn due solemnity. I admit that th uestlons propounded by Brother Cart wright are of great importance. I did not feel called upon to answer as ne rest or you did. Brother Cart wright asks me directly where 1 am gomgT i desire to reply, with ential directness: I am goiag to congress.'" 4 HOW TO BE HEALTHY Oepyiight. ltls, r i. keelty. KOW TO LIVE LONGER. As a man's hair whitens, as his face be comes furrowed and his body bent, we say "He shows the marks of time." Time, however; has nothing to do with the changes we have noted. In itself the passage of time can effect no change upon the human body. There is no scientific evidence to show that it does. Man grows old because he is injured. Animal cells (our bodies are simply an assemblage of cells) have been kept alive for years, under condi tions where they were kept from in- Jury and poison, without showing any signs of aging such as cells usually exhibit. The experiment of Dr. Alexis Carrel, the brilliant American surgeon now ln France, with the connective tissue cells of the chicken embryo gives concrete evidence of what may be done when the body colls are pro tected from injury or strain, from ex ternal or internal poison, from starva tion or from bacterial attacks. A frag ment of tissue cut from the heart of a chicken embryo, placed In nutrient media, periodically washed ln Ringer's solution and transferred to fresh media, keeps on growing. Cultures from this original mass, after three years, behave likewise. How to ke-p the cells which make np our bodies active yot not over strained, nourished yet not over-nourished, and resistant to the attack of microscopic enemies that conttavoaUv aseall them; how to protect them fiom poisons that may be admitted from without or may be found within the body, are problems that the new science of personal hygiene ls solving. The death rate from the Infectious diseases yellow fever, typhoid, ma laria, consumption, diphtheria, pneu monia is actually decreasing. But tbe chronlo maladies of the vital organs ere increasing. They contribute to early old age. The most important step ln protection against these degen eratlve maladies is to. have a thorough physical examination by one's physl clan at regular Intervals, at least once a year. In this way you may regulate your life according to your physical equipment. Avoid overeating of highly seasoned foods and meats. Eat plenty of fruit and bulky or green vegetables which regularly clean the bowels and pre vent Intestinal pdisonicg. Avoid the abuses of alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee. Do not take too little, exercise or too much. Remember that hard work ln which one has an interest is not in itself harmful, if not carried to the point of undue strain or to Inter ference with normal sleep, diet or ex ercise. Avoid chronic Infections of the body, diseased teeth, gums or tooth sockets, nasal cavities, ear cavities tonsils, to which many of the diseases of adult life are due.

The librarians at the University of California are enjoying a Joke on their sister workers in Reed college. A freshman from Reed entered l?erkely for the fall semester. On each occasion that he browsed about the university library it was noticed that ho seemed disgruntled and called tor much as sistance. On one of his visits the head librarian helped him to find some ref erences, and Incidentally queried him to his difficulty. Berkeley, being richly endowed, takes great pride in its library, which comprises famed col lection of rare books. The boy turned on her rather dis gustedly and said: "Oh. this place makes me sick.
