It Contained a Losson For ths Man
With a Grievance.
An old farmer once called at the
White House and complained that tbe
I'nlon soldiers ln passing bls farm bad
helped themselves not only to hay. but
to his horse, and be hoped tbe presi
dent would urge the proper officer to
consider bls claim Immediately.
“Why, my dear sir,” replied Mr. Lin
coln blandly. "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.

to Abolish War.
THE SMART DRUMMER.
There Was Something Coming to Him,
and He Got It.
“Gentlemen," said the drummer of
druggists' sundries as be looked around
on the half dozen men who were ask
ing him for the latest story, “I believe
I have felt about 400 different feelings
ln my life, and tbe balmiest one of all
was the feeling that 1 had something
coming to me and would get it If 1
stayed on the road loug enough."
“And have you got it?” was asked.
“I have. I got It coming into Chi
cago. I was very comfortable In my
Pullman when a young man came
along and told me a pitiful story and
wanted me to buy bis diamond ring
Tbe game Is older than the bills, and
I was on ln a minute—bogus story
and bogus diamond; willing to sell
me a $200 ring for $30. 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. The conductor
held the money, and when we got Into
town we made for a jewelry store. We
took ln four of 'em before I laid down.
Same story in each place—ring worth
$200.”
“And you lost your $50?”
“Slick as slick.”
“And there was a game In It?"
“Of course, you camel. Seller and
buyer were confederates, and they
probably worked the scheme six days
a week. If I'd got ready to buy. some
excuse would have been made to head
me off. Yes, gentlemen. 1 had some
thing coming to me, and I got it. and I
feel relieved.”—Baltimore American.
