ABRAHAM LINCOLN. As we agaln approach the 12th of February we are consclous of the fact *hat while we are Impressed by the great men of teday we are not able to forget those of the past, and especially those who have rendered such signal serviee to thalr country. Lincoln's life is an in- spiration which has served to guide many in the past and it Will render like servies even In the future. He is one of the outstanding national leaders who will ever be identified with its affalrs and one whose example will never cease to be pointed to and followed. Some years ags General P. S. Gobin, a famous Pennsylvania soldier, at a Lin- coln birthday eelebratlon satd: “Lincoln's personality reveals every attribute of the highest type of Ameri- can manhood. “His state papers ars read with in- terest and reverence as we learn the cir- cumsiances which produced them. onel Ingersol in his estimate of Lincoln epiiomized his character as the grandest figure of the flercest elvil war waged In iistory. “Thus he stands hefore us today as soldier, citizen and statesman, realiz- responsibility tmposed upon him | as equal to If not greater than that as sumed by any other man.

The work shows vast Tesearch and is written In a very sym- pathetic spirit. I am thinking, however, what in all human probability would have happened one hundred years ago if : a great man of philosophic trend had | devoted his trained faculties to such a tople as “play” and espepially if he had treated it ag he would have a learned question of theology! To say that he would have been violently denounced It to put the matter kghtly. Play was something to be looked at askance; it was to be curbed and limited and al- ways to be reduced to a minimum. It was some sign of depravity and unless held In leash was sure to plunge one into destruction. But to regard It as a nat- pral instinet, as much as * hunger or| hearing and seeing, was left to a broader | and more intelligent age to develop. The day on which these lines appear | in print will be near the day more or less { celebrated at St. Valentine's. I wonder | If the young people especially have a clear idea who St. Valentine was? The! valentine custom arose during the Luper- calla, a festival that was celebrated by the Romans in the month of February. A number of young people would assem- | ble uring the festival, and would in- scribe on bits of paper the names of an | equal number of maids and bachelors of | their acqua'ntance, throw the whole Into a receptacle and draw them lottery-wise | —care, of course, being taken- that each ! would draw one of the opposite sex. The | person drawn became one's valentine. It was supposed that one should be devoted | to one's valentine for one year. It was| plain that many life_attachments arose | from thie practice. "When pagan Rome ! feil and papal Rome came. the ckzr;:y{ gave the custom a religious aspect by affixing to it the name of the beloved | St. Valentine, whose day was the 14th of | February. The grotesque feature of the | custom—which has become such a bur- | den to the mails—gradually orept- in; later. I Ove cannot glance over the dally newspaper, however hurriedly, without | realizing the a ‘ming growth of “emo-| tional insanity,” whatever that means. | Sure it is that under the momentary | spell of ~sudden nervous excitement | crimes of the most appalling nature are | committed. Whether one is responsible | or mot for the things dome when in this! ndition is not a question for the lay mind to decide. we do know, ail of us. what terrible deeds are committed under the name of “emotional insanity.” And there is another thing we know *bout it, and that is it is all due to over- wraught nerves, which is the result of | \o unnatural. high-tensioned way in | which we Americans are now living. | res as well as our food Is oyer® To escape tameness we crowa days into one, thinking that this moonshine ¢xcitement the net d ot to our juded The ola hymn, “Take time to he com- mon fense as well as re not 0 t siower and s inzs by the wavside?

The Christian Endeavor societies of the worid have a membership of 4000000 in 87| countries and among 50 denominations. Young people still have some fibre. We are constantly forming opinions, and just as constantly expressing them. and it is clearly our right to pass judgment on persons and things when we | have arrived at definite conclusions. But the great trouble Mes in the manner in | which we form judgments and arrive at| conclusions. We are very apt to let our | passions, preconceived opin- | fons, our likes and dislikes enter to warp the correctness of our judgment. For | instance, a brutal murder is committed and ail the details are set forth In the dally press. At once we make up v our | minds who the guilty parts is. We con-| demn before the evidence has been | submitted or the trial begun. That is the | Vvery reason why so many persons are| disqualified from sitting on jury cases.| We jump at coneluions without looking | on zll eides of a question and then judg- | ing acconding to the welght of evidence, | We oftentimes do people rank injustice by our snep judgments. Let us remem- ber that there are two sides to every question. There Is scarcely any assoclation, of | ldeas between St. Valentine and Abra- | ham Lincoln, although - the days on| Which both receive special recognition | fall nearly together. We know very lit-| tle about St. Valentinme and a good deal | about Abraham Lincoln. We know the | high moral grandenr of Lincoln's charac- | ter, and presume that Valentine also was | high grade personage, for the prefix | ‘saint” has stood before the name Val- | nting for centuries. We ought not. how- ever, to be misied by the word “saint a8 always indlcating holiness of charac- ter. I think it was Macauley who once said “Many of those who have been can- onized ought to have been cannonaded.” Lincoln never posed as a salnt, and it has never occurred to his.most ardent| admirers to confer upon him the very | doubtful honer of canonization. But we shall always know him and love him as a great-hearted patriot. a man whose name will stand high in any classifica- tion that is made of leading Americans. The great character of Lincoln and his amazing political achievements have tended to overshadow the greatness of his political associates. His official fam- ily comprised those whose places are seoure in American history. Salmon Chase in the treasury department was upon to perform the difficult task of sustaining the natiohal credit during the Civil war, and he was equal to the task, a8 he was later as the supreme justice of the United States.

INCOME TAX FACTS | YOU SHOULD KNOW §! | TAX ON DIVIDENDS | The tax on dividends is an impor-| tant item in the returns of many tax- | payers. A “dividend” for the purpose of tha| income-tax law is any distribution in | h or propert¥ made by a corpora- tion to its stockholders of members | (other than certain dividends of a per-| sonal service corporation) out of its| nings or profits accumulated since| Iebruary 28, 1913. Dividends are tax- | able and are taxed at the rates for| the year in which the cash is made| available, regardless of when the earn- ings or profits out of which they were paid were accumulated. Although in- terest on State bonds and certain oth- er obligations is not taxable, when | | received by a corporation, upon amal- | zamation with other funds of the cor- | poration and distributed to stockhold- | ers in dividends, it is taxahle to the! same extent as other dividends. i A dividend is income to the stock- holder as of the date when the cash| or property is unqualifiedly made sub- | ject to his demand. Cash dividends, while exempt from all normal tax, are taxable income to the individual re- cipient at the surtax rates for the vear in which received. Accordingly. lividends must be included as gross income, but they may be deducted as a credit in computing normal tax. Stock Dividens . The revenue act of 1918 provided | the taxation of stock dividends, but since the enactment of that law the Supreme Court of the United States has held that stock dividends do not constitute income within the| meaning of the sixteenth amendment to the Constitution, and are according- | Iy not subject to the income tax. The revenue act of 1921 specifically pro-| vides that such dividends shall not| he taxable when paid in good faith, but that if, after the payment of such | a dividend, the corporation proceeds to| cancel or redeem its stock at such time | and in.such manner as to make the| distribution of a taxable dividend, the | amount received in redmption or can- cellation of the stock shall be treated as a taxable dividend. It a dividend is paid in the stock of some other company, or some other form of property, the fair value of the property received is to be taken as the property received, is to be taken as the value of the dividend paid, and such amount is taxabl o ‘an indivinal received it. A corporation which re- caives a dividend in the stock of some other domestic corporation may deduct ! such amount from its gross incomi Section 262, an entirgly new provi- sion of the nicome tax law, places ci- tizens of the United States and domes- tic corporations whose chief income is from sources within American posses- sions on a more equitable basis in comparison with competing aliens and foreign corporations. Special provisions of the income tax regulations deal with the taxation and personal exemp- tion of dividends received from such corporations. Dividends or interest received by In- dividuals during the years 1922 to 1926 inclusive, from domestic building and ! ociations, operated exclusive Iy for the purpase of making loans to members, are exempt from both nor- mal tax and surtax up to $300. NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, FEBRUAR BEIRUT, THE CITY OF SUNSETS. n » 1922 around tvo - aeens of rock and bored a huge hole through i side of pue ue L. watt when the gtorms come Pigeon Rocks reveal a spirited picture of angry waves and steady stone. Narrow coves extend in from the sea and in these one finds some of the finest natural swimming pools anywhere for the bottom is deep and the water clear and the sides rise gradually so that one can dive from varying heights from the water's edge to_ihirty feet. X “These coves form the playground of the college students and each has its name, There is the Preparatory Cove for young students, the College Cove, and the Faculty Cove where the young American teachers swim. The cliffs are plerced in placed by deep caves and it is a wonderful adventure for a seasoned swimmer to breast the beating waves and weit outside the narrow mouth of one of these till the beating waves lower a little and then enter through the narrow mouth which promptly close behind, illumi- nating the interior with a lovely biue light like that at the more famous Capri. “From the harbor there rises a cog wheel railway which connects the an- cient city of Damascus to the sea- coast. It was this French railway and the French harbor which gave Beirnt its prominence as a point and few In- deed are the Palestinian tourists who have not passed over this road while leaving the world’s oldest city, a green oasis in the midst of the tawny desert and the Cyclopean ruins qf Baalbek, to return to the ship for home. “The mountains offer various sum- mer resorts for the city of Beirut and the green masses of the foothills are not ‘only dotted with pretty Lebanon villages from which' thousands of S rians have set out across the sea as did the Phoenicians from the same port, but to land in America instead beside the chalk cliffs of Albion, where tin was obtained in ancient times. “The natives say that the Lebanon has summer in its lap, spring on its hosom and winter on its head and by moving up the solpes one can find the temperature desired. Rich Egyptians came this way in summer and there are gaming places on Lebanon that rival Monte Carlo. Recently the au- tomobile has come to the Lebanon and up the winding roads there now climh motor cars of all shapes and sizes. There are many commuters in summer time and each night the tired bus ness man leaves the hot coast and takes the business man’s special to the | cool retrat of Aleih or Suk-el-Gharb. | “North from Beirut there runs a famous road and at Dog River the cliffs are carved with the proud in- seriptions of conquerors who have passed this way since history was hold- ing a rattle, “The population of Beirut is mixed and the holidays many. Some of the churches are wealthy though the mos- quest are generally small. Long fa- mous for its learning, it is today a city of colleges and schools. One of the great institutions in Beirut is the American press which publishes mast of the Bibles and Gospels that are issued in Arabic. Its product reaches the whole of the world. “Puring the war whole sections of the’ city were razed to make way for new roads and thoroughfares and the center of the city is becoming less and less picturesque as the days go by The seller of sweetmeats, carrying tray on his head and his rude tripod on his arm, no longer has to look up like a dving Gaul while balancing his load in the midst of buildings whose awnings and balconies strove to rob him of his livelihood. ““What your soul desires’ he shouts as he tries to work up appetites to the buying point and the seller of copling drinks with a great ball of 1ébanon snow stuck above his highly colored bottle clinks two brass bowls together in a way that is more nearly related to the sound of clinking ice in a cocktail mixer than any adver. tisement for sickish syrups has any right to be. “Through this close packed city picture book houses there go the Christian women, bare of face and none too beautiful, and the Moslem women whose relizfon mergifully sup- plies a veil. Unless one hears the shout of the arbaji driving his spirited steeds before a shiny victoria he is likely to have his shoulder grazed by the pas- sage of a Levantine beauty, loquent of face and redolent of perfume, ac- companied some pale faced offi- cial with waxed moustaches and a of b w | blazing tarbuche. “The Syrian loves the sunsets and evening settles down, there is a eneral exodus to the heights of Ras Beirut where the waves pil from the west and the sun goes down In a ra- diant sea. Then the line of carriages is almost unbroken and the barren slopes are dotted with small groups of Moslems with their ‘harems’ which in- clude all the female relatives from the child to grandma. As though so.much beauty could not exist unchallenged. there are wretches who come to thi: loving tryst with the setting sun with talking machines, against whose agon- ized screams in Arabic melodies the roar of the waves is all in vain.” as FAMOUS TRIALS LOUIS DE LA PIVARDIERE One of the most remarkable cases of the 17th century, and one which has seldom found its parallel in the records of criminal jurisprudence, was that in which Louls De la Pivardiere figured as the hero. He was the young- est of three sons of a gentleman of noble lineage, but decaved estate. At | the death of his father, and being left without resources, he contracted a marriage with a wealthy widow named De Menon. The marriage took place in 1687 and for two years all went well, then the husband hecame jeal- ous, and began treating his wife coldly while she found, apparently consola- tlons in the attentions of the Abbe of Mizeray. 1 While traveling from place to place on pretense of military pivardiere met at Auxerre a pretty girl with whom he feil in love. Con- cealing the fact that he had a wife living, he married this new object of his attachment. He went through the ceremony with the family name of Bouchet. He lived this double life for four years, when wife number two discovered the deception that had been practised upon her. On the evening of the fete of Natre Dame, in August, 1697, a brilliant party assembled at the chateau in which De la Pivardiere and wife number two lived. The wife had arranged the party believing the husband to be absent in another city. When the guests had all assembled the head of the house sud- denly appeared, and the strange beha- vior of husband and wife caused all the guests to make a hasty departure. The next day De la Pivardiereden- Iy disappeared and nothing was heard of him for several days. Then there started into life a sinister rumor that he had been assassinated in his own house at Narbonne. How, when or where the report originated could not be ascertained, but the bed in which he had slept was solled with blood and two of his servants who were arrested testified that Mme. De la Pivardiere introduced two male ser- vante of the Abbe's inte her hus- duty De la THANKFUL FOR A LITTLE CHILD Mrs.Mertz Tells How E 's Ve w Kutztown, Pa.—*1 ith wo- T ham’s Vi ol QW an( s e ;v_en tryl?:mht; ang i use ‘Xer li‘tlu | tongue.

Mme. ‘was thereupon ordered into custedy. The investigation set on foot re sulted in the discovery that De la Pi- vardiere had not been murdered, but instead was living in his humble home | at Auxerre. When informed that he was sought for by his wife, the idea that he was to be arrested for bisamy | then a capital crime, at once presented {itself to his mind. He took to flight { Overtaken at Fiavigny, Pivardiere he at once learned of the real state of affairs and his apprehensions for himself weer !lost in anxiety for his wife. He returned to Auxerre where he ! was compelled to avow his true posi= i tion to the woman who had believed herself his wife. When he gave him- { self up to the authorities at Narbonne he accounted for his hasty departure rom the chateau in that he had been warned that it was not safe for him to remain there. It would seem natural that the re- !appearance of De la Pivardiere would have ended any case against him. But far from it. The law appeared to con- | sider that if De la Pivardiere was not murdered. he certainly ough to { have been, and"declined to accept the contrary without much more satisfac- | tory proof than that supplied by the | reappearance of the murdered individ- ual among his gratulating friends. The lieutenant ecriminal resolved to con- tinue investigation of the murder of a living man. He caused De la Pivardiere to be | taken to the prison and confronted with the two maidservants who had | related the story of his murder. To | the surprise of everyone, they posi- | tively denied his identity, pointing {out ‘the differences they discovered { between their visitor and their mas- | ter.

READ YOUR CHARACTER ‘ By Digby Phillips, Copyrizhted 1921 Pursed Lips It is hard to say whether the eves or the mouth tell us more of the char- acters of the people we are observing. Both of them are the outward evi- dences of the inward or mental atti- tude, eloquent in their revelations and very hard to silence. It is easy, too, to tell by the eyes and lips whether the type of though you read in them at the moment is a ha- bitual one or not. To do this you only have to glance at the face in repose. If the relaxed expression shows the wrinkles and other eyidences which it must show of any expression which i habitual, your answer is obvious. What, then, would be the story of those funny little lines radiating from a mouth naturally held contracted and narrowed, as though getting ready tol whistle but never getting to the point of doing so. lines caused by what we call “pursed lips?” Habitually pursed lips denote a ten- dency to give undue consideration to little and unimportant things, to the exclusion even of the more important things. Primness, prudery, self-satisfaction egotism and the exaltation of trifles; poor judgment, narrow views, lack of | Eenerosity and of a vision of the big- ger things of life are all indicated in greater or less degree and in varying combinations by the habitual expres- sion of this type. Monday—Hooked Terména's ‘l Stories That Recall Others Hot, Anyway. A ltle girl went to the desk of the livrary and asked pol for “red-hot buns.” She was directed to the near- est bakery when she said: “I want something to eat, it's a boog I want for mamma.” Then the librarian sent her mother Grace Richmond's “Red Pepper Burns.” Reason For His Appearance. “John( your face looks terribly batter- ed up,” said the teacher to John, aged seven, as he showed up for school in the morning. “You haven't been fighting on ed. 0. sald John, “we moved vesterday and T had to carry the eat.” IN THE DAY'S NEWS KARELIA Karelia, or more properly East Ka- relia, where the Bolshevik troops have been fighting to hold this latest of the old Russian units to seek its free- dom from the Soviet Government, Is the subject of the following bulletin from the Washington, D.

Yit stubborn boundary aquestions could be solved by the simple device! of appiving descriptive names.” says the bulletin, “Bast Karelia, now po- litically a part of Russia, would be included in Finland. For Finland (a name applied by outsiders to what the Finns call Suomi) means ‘the land of fens or swamps, and East Karelia has as many swamps and hogs. consider- ing its size, as its western neighbor. The undistinctive boundary between Russia and Finland cuts directly across many swamps and rivers and for very few of its 800 or more miles does it coincide with a geographic dividing line “And just as this Imaginary line dis vides geographic features, so it di- vides people of the same race. The eastern portion of Finland, is often spoken of as Karelia. and it is for this reason that the adjacent Russian ter- ritory Is distinguished as East Kare- lia. So tpo. the people of eastern Fin- land are known as Karelians and are one in blood and traditions with the Karelians in Rus:ia. In fact Russiar Karelia, free from the Swedish #nflu- ence that has molded much of the cul- ture of Finland, and large neglected by the Russians, has preserved in pur- er form the ancient customs of the Finnish race From East Karelia were collected some of the most importani of the old runes, sung by generatior after generation, that make up the great Finnish epic, the Kavala. which ranks as one of the greatest of the ra- cial epics. “Long before the Slavic Russians moved westward to the Baltic the Ka- relians occupied the present East Ka- relia, the territor tward to Lake Onega and the White Sea, and north- ward to the Arctic Ocean. They occu- pied, too, the rezion in which St. Pe- tersburg was built; and the stones of that magnificent city were laid in an- guish largely by captive Karelians taken by the armies of Peter the Great in forays along the Finnish border. “In the St. Petersburg district the establishment of a great city largely drove out the former inhabitants, but throughout the remainder of the old Karellan territory north to the Aretic they have been little interfered with Even on the Kola peninsular between the White Sea and the Arctic Ocean the Karelians in 1915 made up 59 per cent of the population and the Rus- sians only 27, the remainder being composed mostly of Lapps. “It was through the edge of Kare- la that the Russians built their fa- mous Murmansk railroad in 1916 after German successes had cut them off from contact with their allies through the Baltic. This road affords an out- let to an Arctic port—Aigmansk— open the year round. American expedi- tionary forces went into northern Rus- sia through Murmansk and were kept supplied over this far northern road. “The difficulties encountered in building the Murmansk road form an excellent indication to the character of the country in Karelia Throughout its southern section teh line had to zig-zag its way among countless lakes and swamps and in the north it was necessary to build it across many per- manent bogs. Parts of the original roadbed in the far north, constructed in winter, were supposedly built on rock, but when summer came the ma- terial turned out to be ice, and the rails sank into the mire. “East Karelia is somewhat coMde than southern Finland. but though it 18 as far north as southern Greeniand its climate is by no means extremely rigtrous. Like adjacent portions of Finland, it is tempered by proximity to the Baltic and by winds from the far-reaching Gulf Stream It is this stream, incidentally. sweeping across the Atlantic from America’s southland, that makes vear-round commerce pos- sible at Murmansk and along the en- tire Murman coast. “Finland's Interest In Fast Karelia is a double one. Not only does she wish to be united to her own kinsmen, but she also desires an open port in the north.
