TBULYGftEAT. » Ninety-nine years ago to-day (February 12) a great man was. horn. s His birth ooottrr<ed in Kentuoky, His name is known throughout the civilized world. He was horn in poverty and ^obscurity,

*ut he later ruled a nation. His life was the highest embodiment of the spirit of true democracy, i ixV which the humblest citizen may share equally with the proudest. He it was who Went from the log* cabin to the White- House and be cams the nation's chief. Abraham Lin­coln was at once the highest product of democracy and the gift of God to a atyided nationl

To him came the harden of prosecating a war of brother against brother, but with it the heaven-sent opportunity to free from bondage- three million souls. Humble, but steadfast in purpose; gentle, yet strong; warring, but at heart a man of peace; Abraham Lincoln brought har­mony out of discord, love out of hatred and saved a nation in its supreme crisis.

?The story of Lincoln is familiar to, eyery school boy; the story of his life is cold along with that of Moses and Israel at eVery American fireside. la his boy­hood, his political career, his presidency, ois nyrtyrdom—-in every period of life be was\true to the noblest instincts of bis nature and faithful to ' hi^ Heavenly Director. There can be no more inspir­ing example to the American youth than Abraham Lincoln, nor can any American as well deserve the title, *' the country's greatest man "

One jeat hence will occur the cen­tennial anniversary -til Lincoln's birth. With a country united and strong, with the bitterness of civil, conflict forgotten and with that appreciation of the martyred President's work which perspective gives to the North and South alike, it is predicted tbat 1909 will see the greatest demonstration on Lincoln's fcirthday that eVer took place on the natal day of^any man; and well may it be sot AU honor to him who best represented^ the trne typeof American citizenship, ana; whose name and memory couimmd a respect accorded not even to kings. The- people-

love him, the nation appreciates him and the whole world reveres him. . Lat'"'ns have the celebration! Congress will ap­propriate "money for it;the public will enjbhuse over it; song, poem and s,tory will add to the lustre of his name aud Heaven will shed its benediction ou a fitting recngniiion of him who did most to give us "government of the people, by the people and .for the peopla "-^Abraham Lincoln,

'TTHE hand of Lincoln, bronzed-by honest toil, •** That drove the. ax and felled the forest oak, V

TheiV working u» ainid the world's turmoil -"' At one proud1>|oW four million fetters brake:

It is not dust— still does i t reach and clasp Past, present, future^in its kindly grasp!

The Girl Wlio Rejected}

rw

NE of Abraham Lincoln's love attairs of which but little hasj*

.'. been. written, was knowni > ; vaguely to Whllani H. Herh-

floh, his law partner at Springfield and Onfe of bis .biographers. Mr. JHerndon4

Jtxfis chronicled m.an extended footnote; | n his;biography*about, all that Is; hh'OWn concerning ifJUSinstance,-of Lln-CoLn's loVemaking. The girl's name Wfts,SarahJftlckard,'- . . . - ' . . .>-•• ' ,• -'v For years priof* iris marriage to "Mary ?Toddr Lincoln bad lived 'in .the

difference in our ages. I had given the subject of matrimony very little if any thought I entertained the highest regard" for M R Lincoln. He seemed al­most like, an older brother, being, as it were, one of my sisters family."

Thus Sarah Richard, with her detli* nation of the proposal, seems to have passed forever out of the IJJte of the future president His regard "for her seems to have been little more than a passing fancy "Possibly Lincoln may have intimated

to Herndon something concerning his liking, for Miss RIckard, for the biog­rapher states thai ''for many years he had reason to believe that the girl had been the recipient of attentions at the hands of Mr, Lincoln."

'*? ' ,SABAH BiC/XABS>* house of William Butler, a close friend. He was practically the same as one of the family. Sarah' lUekard was a yonngerlsiater Of Mrs.. Butter,

In the summer of 1M), when Lincoln was thirty'-one years of age." he made a proposal of marriage, to Sarah. The firf was then only sttteen. tears after Lincoln's: death this lady, long mar­ried* and a resident of a western state, reinctftntly admitted to Mr; Herndon that Lincoln had proposed to her, add­ing that she corild ''scarcely see what good it could do hlstoryy'

Being nearly twice as old as the girl, • no doubt Lincoln fonsldorcd himself quite an nnctet^t person. At flby. rate, he- 0eea«t t> hn.\'t> taken that view of htoiBeH in tttkiut? to Sarah about mar­riage. Hi- recalled .fo hep the BiBle slory K4 (lit* marrlUKi* of tin.' patriarch Abraham ta Siirah.
