Stow*??* Lincoln's Remarkable Intellect By George JL Knapp F.we put aside the popular preconceptions Of Lincoln, and look instead at the recorded facts, we shall find evidence ot his remarkable intellect at every stage of his adult career. In his youth, indeed! he had the misty-vagaries proper to youth and like eo many great men, he came to maturity late. , But from thermo'that he entered seriously on. his life wwfiw work^ his ?.sntal. poweh were held ^ high> almost reverent Ttjutfltitl regard by all who were close to him. In one sense, he was -T-T? not a great lawyer. He lacked the broad cUucation, to begin with; and he lacked even more the soldier-of-fortune conscience that-enables -a man to fight on one side as well es on abutter, in a. bad cause as well as in ai good one. Lincoln's intellect was too keen, too cold, too accurate, to t?r ate quibbles or evasions; heliated crooked reasoning- quite as virulently as crooked dealing. But when he believed in his case, he could state that case la a way which made argument almost needless; and he had that sure and certain mark of genius, the ability to brush aside non-essentials and seize at ?nee on the central, vital issue. And yet in the- struggles of politics, the. work which he really loved, the sam? qualities show out. in yet higher relief. Seldom if ever was there a more consummate politician ?han Abraham Lincoln. The aim o:t his early political life was to save the Union. If Lincoln ever made a wrong move to gain his goal, history has failed to record it When he put pis famous ques tipa to Douglas, as to the possibility of excluding slavery from the territories, his friends thought he had thrown away his own future and that of his party. I Jr. co In knew better. He was trying, not to keep Douglas from the Senate, twt to keep him from the White House. He could see already that the crisil o? the struggle would come, not> in 1858, but la 1860. He offered the gambit, and Douglas accepted it-to And himself checkmated two moves later.-Lip pin colt's. .vVy.V^"'.^ "' ?: ''',-L '. .'. ..r.'? ?'.''J ?. ~ '?

He acted like it He squeezed and pushed and shoved through the crowded side of the street as if something of the'greatest Importance depended upon his haste. It never occurred to him that he could make more progress on. the other side of the street, which was not so crowded, or that he would be less Impeded on another parallel street Now and then he would be heard to say "Excuse me!" or "I beg your pardon!" but he was not heard to make such a remark when he roughly brushed against s o ure child. He was said to he very polite, but his politeness seemed to be toward some certain few, not to ward everybody. But he was in a hurry, and of course he thought his haste excuued a multitude of his sins of omission. , He thought the old colored woman, whom he pushed to one side, had no husiness on the street when people were in a hurry-when he was in a hurry. He did not know that this old colored woman was making as much haste as ?li? possibly could, to summon a doctor to attend her sick mistress. Of course, if he had known this, he would not have acted so selfishly. Indeed,, it is doubtful if he saw the little girl whom he almost knocked down. If he had, he certainly would have begged her pardon. To he sure, lie did not know that she was a cz. s h girl in/one of the department stores and that she was so tired that she could hardly stand upon her "feet The blind beggar who stopped him and begged a penny got only a rebuke, hecause ho was in a hurry. "Haven't got time!" he gruffly said to the poor .XeHow. When he finally reached home, he even forgot tb greet his wife with his customary kiss; he was in a hurry. And why was he in such a hurry? He 'had an engagement rx? attend the theatre that evening with several friends. ' It is a good thing that everybody ls not In a hurry. fer & lt at M a ... Why Woman Lies... 1 P ty Marcel Preoost in Paris Figaro I XCEPT when in love, man is much less given to lying than his long-haired companion. There is good reason for this. Primeval man, who controlled woman by the right of the conqueror, or, at least the stronger, had no need - for lying to make Hie as pleasant for himself as he saw tit Woman, on ithe other hand, was a slave, using her in telligence in slave fashion-that is, as a rank egoist. Her * . prime object in life was to please her lord, to work as little as possible, to avoid punishment, to fool her master and to conceal from' him everything that might possibly result In annoyance to her self. So the wife-slave of old developed into a most accomplished Har. It would be foolish''to deny that woman's status has changed since then, . at least among civilized peoples. But ther.i are still many laws on the statute hooks compelling women to use deception and lying in self-defense. "J If man did not use his physical and legal muscles against, woman, woman would be more honest! She might even In time forget how to He. Most of the Hes women tell ought to Ue credited in the Book" of Judgment to man's account * It goes without saying that long-continued experience-i. e., the heredity ct lying, so to speak-has made woman an expert prevaricator. Man is a robust Har only. Listen to the nuin Har's statements in any court of Justice. For the most part they are ridiculous, utterly absurd. And woree still, when a man liar is found out-as he must be found out-he utterly goes to pieces. Of course, men encourage woman's lying. The man who is caupht In a lie loses caste, is kicked out of his club, whUe few, If any, men find serious fault with woman's"flbs. {??rn ?

Jackson, Tenn., Special.-The cases of th? eight night riders, 6 of whom were under the death sentence charged with the murder of Captain Quentin Rankin, at Walnut Log, on Reel Foot late, October 19 last, were reversed hy the State Supreme Court Saturday and were remanded for hew trials. The six men, who were under the death sentence are Garrot Johnson, alleged leader of the night riders'or ganization in Obion county; Arthur Cloar, Fred Pinion, Sam Applewhite, Tid Burton and Roy Ransom. The other two, Bud Morris and Bob Huff man, were convicted of murder in the second degree. The opinion in the case was deliv ered by Speeial Justice Henry Craft, of Memphis, appointed .in the stead of Justice M. M. Neil. In reversing the case, he assigned two principal reasons. The first was that the grand jury which found the indictments against the alleged night riders, was not seelcted in a proper manner. The grand jury was select ed out of a panel named by Judge J. E. Jones, the trial judge, whereas the law provides the panel must be chos en by at least three members of the county court. The second error on which the reversal was based is that the State did not allow the defend ants a sufficient number of chal lenges. The eight were tried on one indictment and trial court upheld the State's contention that the eight de fendants were only entitled to the legal number of challenges, twonty four, which would apply if one man was on trial. When Justice Craft concluded his opinion a storm of applause broke out in the court room, but was quick ly stopped by the marshal and his deputies. The prisoners will be tak en back to Union City and an effort will be made to secure their release on bail pending a second trial on their cases. Those most . active in the prosecu tion of the alleged riders of Reel Foot lake consider the situation now such as .may again assume a serious phase. That it will be difficult to secure a jury to again hear the cases is conceded and as yet no decision has been reached by the representatives of the State as to their future plans. An immediate trial of other pending cases O?A similar nature, however, is not looked for. Bolled Whole Family. Aberdeen, S. D., Special.-J. W. Christie, a farmer living near hera, his wife, his daughter Mildred, aged 18 years, and a boy named Roymaine, were murdered Saturday. Mr. Chris tie was milking a cow in his barn yard when the unknown person or persons shot him dead. The murderers hurried to the honse and fining Mrs. Christie and her daughter and the Roymaine, boy, who was visiting at the house, they be gan firing upon them. The first shots took effect and the two women and the boy fell ' dead. . It is supposed the men who com mitted the crime were acquainted to some extent with the Christie family and their habits, for few people knew that Christie kept large sums of money in his house. It is believed he had several thousand dollars in his home at the time of the murden The1 entire countryside is wrought up.

Two Terrific Quakes Fol Inhabitants In Panic-F Babe And Dies WI Messina, By Cable.-Messina ex ' perienced two terrific earthquakes ht about 7:30 o'clock Thursday morn ing, which were accompanied by roaring sounds and are said to have had a stronger and more undulatory move ment than the earthquake of last December which destroyed Mes sina, Reggio and other cities, laid waste to many villages in Calabria and killed 200,000 people. Although the shocks Thursday hod no such terrible consequences the 25,000 residents of this city were thrown into a state of terror. : They I ran into the streets panic striken and Thursday night nearly the entire pop ulation was encamped in the open. The broken walls of the old ruins were thrown to the ground and Mes sina was for a few minutes smother ed in a cloud of dust. The casualties were few and the only persons killed, so far as is known, were a youu^ woman and her infant. The woman had come here only a few days ago and had settled in rooms, which the great earthquake had left relatively un damaged. She was standing at the ORVILLE WRIGHT MAKES Tl Washington, Special.-Calm, confi dent and nerveless, Orville Wright late Thursday encircled the Ft. Meyer drill grounds time after time in his aeroplane in three successful flights while a crowd of thousands cheered him for the success that attended his persistency and pluck. While the ma chine oscillated at certain points in its flights and dipped and rose sud denly at other points, it was evident from the regularity with which these things, happened that they were due to the condition of the atmosphere and not to any fault of the machine. For the first flight the machine got away with a fine start. Down the field the aeroplane sailed, curved gracefully and came back up the east, side of the field along the edge pf Arlington Cemetery. The machine seemed to be behaving beautifully. The first round was made in fifty sec onds. Five times the machines skirt ed the field, attaining a height which varied from 15 to 30 feet. On the sixth round Mr. Wright came to e?rth within a few hundred feet of the starting point, completing the flight in exactly five minutes. The landing was perfect, the machine swooping down in successive glides until Orville pulled the string which stops his motor and the aeroplane glided smoothly over the grass on its skids until it eame-to a stop. The ma ohine was returned to the starting ap paratus and again was placed in posi tion, and another flight was essayed. COMMISSION DECIDES ADV Washington, Special.-The Inter state Commerce Commission has de cided adversely in the matter of the complaints filed before them by five bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who claimed that they had been the victims of discrim ination while passengers on Southern railroads.

Leon, the murdarer of Elsie Sigel. The man's height, weight and general appear ance tallies with that of Leon Ling, but as thc body was nude, except for a silk undershirt, and had been in the water for more than a week, a thor ough examination will be necessary.

Be fore she could escape from the room the second shock threw down the walls, burying both mother and child under the debris. Soldiers and en gineers who rashed to the rese?e heard the voice of the mother call ing for help and they worked heroic ally for several hours, when they found the dead bodies, the mother with her child in her arms. \ The first shock was followed quick ly by a second and the people fled pell mell to the American quarter, which they seemed to feel was the safest place of refuge. So great waa the rush to the American huts , that the authorities were unable to check the invasion and as a consequence these structures, which were design ed for the most needy of the popu lace, were taken possession of by the first comers. The soldiers, however,. sooB drew a cordon around this quarter and a guard was mounted at the bridge leading to it. Many of the panic stricken people were driven off and orders were issued that no one be permitted to occupy the American quarter pending further instructions. Li REE SUCCESSFUL FLIGHTS The start was as successful as the first. In the second flight Orville made much wider turns and rose tc? a greater height. Wilbur Wright watched every detail of the flight with care. It was noticed that at tunes the motor skipped, but this seemed to have no effect on the progress of the aeroplane. The starting rail runs downward into a little hollow in the i field and whenever the aeroplane passed over this hollow it dipped no ticeably and whenever it passed over a vacant space between two of tho stables, it was seen to rise as though on billow of air, but these atmos pheric conditions were easily over come by the clever manipulation of A - the levers. On his second flight, Orr ville made nine rounds of the field in a few seconds less than eight min utes. ^ . In his last attempt he remained aloft for a few seconds more than nine minutes and encircled the field nine and one half times. Fer one complete round he flew very close to the ground, evidently preparing to land. This he did within two hun dred feet of the aeroplane shed. Dur ing this las: flight bo went highei than on his previous trials, reaching a height of forty feet. Just before making his landing the left wing scraped the ground and raised a cloud of dust, but Mr. Wright con tinued to fly half way around the field before descending._ ?RSELY IN BISHOPS* CASE an J Potomac, the Southern and the Central Railway of Georgia.

If it is Leon the cause of his death will, be another mystery although one theory, that of suicide, would appear reasonable. In salient features the body bore a marked resemblance to Leon Ling. The teeth were good, as were Leon's, the height about 5 feet 4 inches, which was Leon's height, and the weight 125 pounds, which was about Leon's. !AKE DASH F?R FREEDOM Yakutsk district revolted and killed the guards and started on a retreat of 2,000 miles for East Cape, where \ they planned to take small boats and ( make the mainland of Alaska, thirty six miles away.
