And in so doing we honor ourselves. Lincoin the Boy “So much has been ‘writien and said | about the life of Abraham Lincoln that for me to attempt to say any- thing new would be a presumption which might well be resented. He himself, as he once said of Washing- ton, has long since become the|‘mighti- est name ir the cause of civil Hberty; still mightiest in moral reformation.’ The historical outline of his life is so well known to us all that I shall not dwell at any length upon that. “While he was yet a little boy his parents moved to Indiana. There his mother, worn out with toil and priva- tion, died. She was buried in a rude coffin made by the hands of . the father, Thomas Lincoln. Nd minister of the gospel was within reach, and, with a few and short prayers by the family and friends, she was laid to rest. Little Abe was deeply moved. ‘Those fine feelings which afterward shone so beautifully in the nobic letter to Mrs. Bixby, in Mis attempt to console her for the loss of her five sons on the field of battle, already appeared. He was insistent, so tra- dition tells, that a sermon should be preached over her grave. Herndon says this was done .. few months later by an itinerant preacher whom she had known in her lifetime. “It was to this mother, so obscure and so humble, yet with a heart of gold, that Abraham Lincoln owed 80 much. Her last wish to Abe and the others was ‘Be good to one another, love your kindred and worship God. Amid the hard surroundings of a cabin in the wilderness Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the mother, passed across the dark river. Good Mothe?,’Good Stépmother “The mother is the parent that oftenest gives the germ of character to sons. In many of the best, as well as the worst, of the historical charac- ters of the world may be discerned the character of the mothers who bore coln does not overshadow the mother who bore him. , “Lincoln’s father did not long re- main in Indiana. He had the restless spirit of the pioneer. ‘Shortly after the death of Nancy Hanks he mar- ried Sarah Bush Johnston, and moved t> Illinois. Abe's stepmother was a good woman. She taught him to read and write, looked after his moral and bodily welfare, and cared for him like |} a mother. He many times refers to her with filial love and respect. Abra- ham spent less than twelve months in school. He learned reading, writing and arithmetic. He was helped and encouraged by his stepmother. “With this meager schooling he be- came one of the best educated men in the world. By educated I mean them. Great as he is, Abraham Lin- | arose in the war. tion of the doctrine of contraband of we: as applied to slaves used by the secessionists in the conduct of the j war; his clear and decisive interpre- tation of the laws of nations in the Trent affair; his legal reasons under- lying his emancipation proclamation. “While learned lawyers were puzzled for legal and constitutional reasons Lincoln saw clearly that slaves were one of the means employed by the enemy to fight, to produce food and {munitions and sustain the war against the Union. While lawyers and states- men were theorizing as to how the se- ceded states could be constitutionally said they had never been lawfully out of the Union. Lincoln’s profession was ‘the law. He was in active practice for more than 15 years. The variety and scope of his business places him as one of the leading lawyers of his time in T'pois, He had more than one hi large’ number for any lawyer. had many cases in the federal coures His standing in his profession, both for ability and character, was A-1. His practice was interrupted by single term in congress, where he op- posed the Mexican war. He followed the law until his election to the presi- dency. Drew.

He had adamantine deer- mination. He was always ready to listen, sometimes to yield in non- essentials, but was absolutely unyield- ing when principle was at stake. “No amount of opposition or dis- couragement could turn him from the truth. He never lost sight o! the main point in a lawsuit. He stuck like grim death to the mai point in the Civil war, which was to save the Union. He succeeded because he did this in spite of ill-advised counsel of radicals from both north and south. For in- stance, his emancipation proclama- tion came at the right time, and when its tinal succ was assured. He made sure he was right beiore he went ahead. , First Rank 2s Statesman “Under the heaviest burden ever borne by a president he w: ays patient. In the bitterest an: most trying time of the war he encouraged his weary associates, and said even this will pass away. As a statesman Lincoln takes first rank. Probably no other man could have led the na- tion so successfully through the Civil war. “His character partakes of the di- vine. Who but one inspired as a prophet o: old could have uttered the second inaugural and Gettysburg ad- Gresses? Who but one filled with the divine attributes of love, tenderness and sympathy could have penned the letter to Mrs. Bixby? Many of the utterances of Lincoln have a perma- nent place in lite:ature. Today his fame reaches all the world. Stately monuments and memorials honor his memory and proclaim the gratitude |of a nation for her most beloved son. “His soul goes marching on, and as was said by Bishop Simpson at the funeral: ‘T“others shal! t«-ch thy | dred cases in the supreme court in name to their lisping children. The youth of our land shall emulate thy Riles. Statesmen shall study thy record and learn lessons of wisdom. Mute though thy lips be, yet they still speak. Hushed is thy voice, but its echoes of liberty are ringing through the world, and the sons of bondage listen with joy. Prisoned thou art in death, yet thou art eee abroad, and chains and manacleare bursting at thy touch!’” 1.0.0. F. Benefit Dance, Sat., Feb. 16, 1. 0. O. F. Hall, by the Ladies Auxiliary, P. M.

MacGREGOR “Gay Paree” it was called, but it had. the tang of Iowa. Charles “Chic” Sale, son of the middle west, greatest character comic of his time, stole the show in tae Messrs. Shubert newest rendition of “Gay Paree” ‘vhich played the auditorium Friday night to an ap- preciative audience that huddled the house. Never having been in gay Paree nor seen the Bal des Quatre Arts, we can- not say how true to Parisian lif> the Shubert revuc was. Having lived in the middle west any number of years, however, we can say “Chic” Sale as a country undertaker mimicking a min- ister, and the old veteran en route to the Soldiers Home were so true to ‘CHIC’ SALE GIVES ‘GAY PAREE’ TANG OF IOWA IN SNAPPY REVUE songs Alley’ melodious jaz composers did not contribute tuneful lyrics for their the rustic life they were more tragic | singing. than funny. They were revivals of old Sale hits, freshened, of course, but none the less appreciated. ‘Chic’ Sale Scores As he has proved before, a comedian need not be smutty to get laughs. As the rural school-teacher, the but- ter and egg man wallowing in Gotham night club life and the fore- man of the jury, Sale proved that everything on the stage can be clean and produce heartier laughs than skits on the borders of decency. Companioning Sale in his conquest were the Kelo Brothers and Chari:s Mac. The acrobatic brother dancers risk their necks to draw laughs there- by scoring applause triumphs. Mac’s drunken dance is still one of the American stage's bits of finest clever- ness. And there were others. Raucous Frank Gaby is also a comedian. A; a ventriloquist Frank is versatility | himself. Also there is Stanley Rogers. As a female impersonator with a flair for comedy Rogers bi dciaheenan tie the great Eltinge. The “black outs” in which Gaby and Rogers lnterspereed. the fvening Gschrey and Hully were unusual in their slap dance. It was a bit of rhythmic nimbleness that caught the fancy of the audience. Margharite Marano’s girlishness, lithesome danc- ing and jazz tunes were charming. Chorines 0 jatstanding Seldom does the petsonality of the girls wing its way over the footlights but at least two members of the troupe's chorus and pageant of beauty revealed themselves as worthy of something better. If our inquiries are correct, Marian Horn and Bobbie Casewell were the girls. Miss Horn was easily picked out in the Bracelets and “Sake” numbers while Miss Casewell’s smiles were as readily identified in the scenes in which the Berkhoff girls appeared. Nudity was not underestimated. There were many beautiful and shapely girls and the lights were none too low. The unclothed damsels were given artistic backgrounds. La Pul- chra was voluptuous but less appeal- ing to the audience than many other members of her supporting casts. “Mothers of the World” was im- pressing. It was one of the highlights. the new states to caution. regularly and make mood is on you.
