As a peoplo we aro Indeed bo yond measure fortunate in tho chai-nctors- of tho two greatest of our pub lic men, Washington nnd Lincoln. Widely though they differed In ex ternals, tho Virginia landed gentle men and the Kentucky backwooM- man. they wore alike in essentials, thoy wore alllco in tho great qualities' without any' of tho visionary's fanaf whlch rendered each able to rondor'lclsrn or egotlsia, wlthdut any of the service to his nation and to all miln- kind, such as no other man of his' generation could or did render. Each i had lofty Ideals, but each In striving to nttaln theso lofty Idenls was guid ed by tho soundest common snnso Each pos&CDsed Inflexible courage In adversity, and a soul wWolly ur spollcdby prosperity. Each posso9.eJ all tho gontle virtues commonly x hlbttcd by good men who lack rug ged strongth of character. Each pos sessed also nil tho strong quallfla.- tlons commonly exhibited by Hi kc towering masters of mankind who havo too ofton shown themselves de void of so much us th. understand ing, of the wordB by which wo signify tho niinllttos of duty, of mere, f devotion to tho right, of lofty dlaln torodnoss In battling for tho good of others. Thoro have been othor men as great, and othor mon ns good; but In nil tho history of mankind thoio nro no other two grcnt mon as good as these, no other two good mon ns I i great. Widely though tho problentB of today differ from the problems HPt or solution to Washington when he founded this nation, to Lincoln when ho saved It and freed tho slave, yet tho qualities they showed In mooting those probldmo arc exactly the finite aa thoso wo nhould show la doing our work today. , Lincoln saw into tho future vltn the prophetic lmngiha'tlo'hJ faunflv vouchsafed .'only to tho poet and trie seer. Ho had in him nil tho lift to-. ward greatness of.' i tho , visionary, visionary's narrow Jealousyof tho practical man nnd Inability to strive In practical fashion for the realzatfan of an Ideal. He had tho practical man's hard common sensp nnd will- lno?s to adapt means, to ends; br.t thoro was in him nono of that morbid growth of mind nod soul which bltti'Is so many practical mon to tho higher things of life. No moro practical man over lived than this hoineiy backwoods Idealist; but ho had noth ing In common with those prnctlcol mon whose consciences nro warpnd until they fall to distinguish between good nnd ovll, fnll to undomund that strongth, ability, shrcwdncao whether in the world of business or of politic), only serve to make their possessor a moro noxious, a more evil mombcr of the community, If thoy aro not guided nnd controlcd by n fine and high moral sense. Must Follow IIIh KootMeps. We of this day must try to sol'-e ninny coclal and industrial problems requiring to an especial degree- tho combination of Indomitable revolu tion with cool-headed sanity. We enn profit by tho way in which Lin coln used both these traits nB ho strove for reform. , Wo, can learn much of valuo from the very, nttneks which following that course brought upon his head, jit tacks alike, by the extremists of rovoliutlpn andfby ilm extremists of, reaction. Ho novr wnvorcd in devotion to his principles, In his love for tho Union, nnd In his abhorrence or slavery. Timid ni.d lukewnrm peoplo woro alwnyn de nouncing him becnuse ho was too ex treme; but ns n matter of fact he novor went to oxtromes, ho worked step by step; and becnuse of this tho oxtromlstB tinted and donounccd hi in with a forvor which now Hooms to tit fnntnstlc in Ita dolllcntlon of tho u.i roal and tho impossible. At tho votv time when ono sldo was holding him up ni tho npostlo of social revolution bocnuBo ho was ngaintt slavery, the loading abolitionists donouncod him nn tho "slave hound of Illinois." When he wns tho socond tlmo candi date for Prosldont, tho mnjorltv of his opponents attacked him bccinuo of what they tormod his extromo rnd Icallini, whllo a minority thro..onoj to bolt his nomination bocauso he was not radical enough. Ho had cou'li ually to cheek thoso who wlshol to go forward too fast, at tho vory time that ho ovorrode tho opposition of thos who wished not to go Vjr ward nt all. Tho goal was novor dim before hl vision; bit he picked hut way cautiously, without olthor hau or hurry, a, he strode toward Ii. through a mornae of dlttloulty tfit no man of logs oourago would hate nttomptcd It, while it would uroly have ovorwhelmod any man of judg ment loss serene.

Yet perhaps tho most wonderful thng of all, and, from the standpoint of tho America of today and of the future, the most vitally Important, wns tho oxtraordinnry way in which Lincoln could fight valiantly ngvJpat what hedecmed wrong and yet pro served undiminished his love and re- " sped for the brother from whom ho differed. In tho hour of a triumphs that would have turned any weakrr man's licacT, In tho heat of a struggle which Spurred many a good'maiT'ft0 dreadful vindlctivcncBS, ho said truthfully that so long ns Ho liatt been " in his office he had1 never willingly plantod a thorn in, any man's bosom, and besought his supporters to qtudy tho Incidents of tho trlnl through which they were passing as philoso phy from which to lenrn wisdom, and not ns wrongs to bo avenged; ending with tho solemn exhortation that, hi tho strlfo wns over, all should re unite In a common effort to snvo their common country. Ho lived In dnys that were great and terrible, whon hrothor fought ngnlnst brother for whnt each sln corely deemed to bo tho right. In a contest so grim tho strong men who alone can carry It through nro rarely able to do Jfustlco to tho deep convic tions of those with whom thoy grap ple In mortal strlfo. At such times men see through a glass darkly; to only the rarest nnd loftiest spirits Is couchsnfed that clear vision which grndunlly comes to nil, cv;n to tho lesser, ns tho struggle fndes Into dis tance,, nnd woundB nre forgotton, nnd pence creeps back to the hearts that were hurt. Hut to Lincoln wns glvon thlB supreme vision. Ho did not hatn thc man from whom he differed. Weakness was ns forolgn ns wicked ness to his strong, gcntlo nntu.ro; nut h's courage was of a quality so high thnt It needed no bolstering of dark paslon. Hcj ww clqaly that the same hlgli qiialltlestho snmo cour age, and?wi)llhgncB8 for self-sacrifice and devotion to the right ns 't wis given them to seo the right, belonged both to tho mon of tho North and to tho men of tho South. As tho years roll by, and as all of us, wherever wa dwell, grow to feel nn equal prldo In the valor and solf-dovotlon, nliko or the mon who woro tho bluo and the mon who wore the grny, so this whole nation will grow to feel n peculiar sonso of pride In a mnn whoso blood was shed for his UnloNi, his people nn dfor tho freedom of the race; the lover of his country nnd nil mankind nnd the mightiest of mighty "men who mastered tho mighty days Abrnhnm Llncol ,n Do Witt's Littlo E.rly RIsorB, gen tie, .rnfy, plenNtnt, littlo llvor pills Sold by nil r'n-gglsti. o Mrs. A.
