"I couldn’t think of such a thing, if I consider individual cases 1 should find work enough for twenty presidents.” The caller urged bls needs persistent ly. and Mr. Lincoln declined good na- turedly. “But,” said the persevering sufferer, “couldn't you just give me a line to Colonel---- about it—Just one line?” "Ila, ha. ha!” responded the presi dent. crossing his legs. “That reminds me of old Jack Chase out ln Illinois. “You see, Jack—I knew him like a brother—used to be a lumberman on the Illinois river, and he was steady and sober and tbe best raftsman on the stream. It was quite a trick to take the logs over the rapids, but he was skillful with a raft and always kept her straight in the channel. Finally a steamer was put on, and Jack—he’s dead now, poor fellow!—was made captain of it. He always used to take the wheel going through the rapids. One day when the boat was plunging and wallowing along the boiling cur rent and Jack’s utmost vigilance was being exercised to keep it ln the nar row channel a boy pulled his coattail and hailed him with: “ ‘Say. Mr. Captain, I wish you would Just stop your boat a minute! I've lost my apple overboard!’ “Think that story over, my friend, and see if you can find any lesson ln it” A LOVER OF PEACE.

I asked blm where the green spot was tn my eye. and while I was pluming myself the man in the other part of the section pulled out three tens and pocketed the ring. Did I look down upon him with pity and contempt? Did I smile? Did I grin? Did I ask him where his guardian was? Oh. yes—oh. yes. and he spoke up and claimed that the stones were diamonds and tbe ring well worth 200 plunks. It nettled me to see the ass so cocksure and to hear : him say that of course I was no Judge of diamonds, and I put up $50 that he’d been done for.
