This is, perhaps, not a penalty of Mr. Lincoln's remarkable. Htory-toll-ing gift, since thoro is nothing punitive or discreditable to his fanio in ouch a tondoney of posterity. All the good sto ries are erediteU to liim, for tlio Haiiie reason tjtnt all tlio infamies of the French revolution aie shouldered largo ly upon Robespierre. In ,neither case, perhaps, does it much matter where the truth onds and fiction begins. That the storytelling Lisncoln of tra dition is telling it giont nuaiy nioru sto ries than ho really told in the ilesh is proved by u current magazine writur, unwittingly, Tor ho inserts in his article the following: Puritig a critical time in tho Civil war, when the senate hnd been juirtiexi larly obstructive, one of his ardent sym pathizers burst in upon him and hotJy (enojineed the senate, and fluisucd his tirade by asking: "WhiitNi the use of the senate, any way?" Mr. Lincoln was drinking a cup of tea. In his homely fashion ho poured the tea Iroui his cup to the saucer and back again to cool it otf, undisturbed )) the (Miller's vohomoncc. "Well," said the man, impatiently, "what's the use of tho senate?" "X have just shown you," was Lin coln's answer, and once inoro tho tea was poured. The man looked puzzled. Then a great light broke upon him. "1'ou mean it enable juiblit' passion to coon off." Tho grcntost of American presidents nnddqd nod vdrunk his tea. Years ngo tho snin opoint was illus trated in a story told of Washington and Jtitrersou. Jefferson askod, accord ingto the older yersion: "Of what wto Is tho sonntef " Ho had just poured a cup of hot tea iuto n saucer and Wash jngton said: "You hae just answered it yourself; the. sonato is the saucer into which we pour our legislation to cool it off?" If Homevno should comeJ jilong und show that homo eighteenth century Englishman of Jtobcrt Wal polo's time had niado tho same point in oxaetly the same way concerning tho houso of lords it would not bo surpris- iR. Ljncnln undoubtedly np)iopriated nil the stories he cotdd acquaint himself with, regardless of thoir antiquity; anil often, no doubt, he adapted their point to tho conditions of tho people ho lived among. His own explanation of his extraordinary propensity to anecdote in speech or conversation is oxccllenQy given in the current Century magazine by Colonel Silas W. Hurt, who relates a romarkablu incident, hitherto unpub lished, of the Ciil war history. It is not ntci'sary in this connection to more thlfh quote tho words that fell from Mr. Lincoln's lips: "I believe 1 have tho popular repu tation of being a story-teller, but I do not deserve tho name in its general "onsc; for it is not the story itself, but its purpose, or effect, that interests me. L often avoid a long or useless discus sion by others or a laborious explana tion on my owu part by a short story that illustrates my point of view. So, too, tho sharpness of a refusal or the edge of u rebuke may be blunted by an nppioprinto story, so as to save wounded leeling and yet servo the purpose. No, I m not simply a story teller, but story telling as an emollient saves me much friction and distress." It may bo added that this accords with the view which most students of Lincoln's character had reached. Coi onel Burt's authoritative report of the president's remarks is, however, none the Jess interesting and valuable.

Sand Cure for Dyspepsia A number of persons in Westchester, Pa., who are sufferers from stomach troubles are trying the sand cure. The sand, so n dispatch tells us, comes from Mississippi in bags of two quarts each. It is taken in doses of a toasK)onful and as often as tho patient feels trou ble coming. "When any animal has an attack of stomach trouble," argues one of tho be Jievers in tho cure, "it goes nt once to the grouuil for some clay or sand, and why fchould not a man!" Why not indeed f There is no reason under tho sun for man's gohig else where than to tho ground for a cure when ho has stomach trouble, unless it be that when u man has stomach trouble ho is more unreasonable than ut any other time. Tho sund cure will appeal strongly to tho great majority of people ivhose stomachs are all right, and in time those people, when their stomachs go wrong, may, by tho exercise of will power, con vince themselves that duty to them selves and to their families, to say nothiug of friends and country, de nmnds that they shall go to the ground for a cure. Chicago Inter-Ocean. . . Tho Price of Silence A well known business man in u town not far from Cincinnati discovered one morning recently on entering his office that his safe was out of order. Ho im mediately telegraphed to Philadelphia for an expert. Whca thelatter arrived he found that the safe, an old-fashioned affair locked with u key, could' not be opened. After a hasty examination the expert, taking a piece of wire, dug out from the key a mars of dust and lint. He then opened the safe in the twinkling of an eye. The business man woro a sickly smile as he asked meekly: "How much" "Twenty dollars." "Do any of your firm's patrons here know of your viitl" "Not a soul but yourself." "Then," added tho business man, "here's $40. I'll take it to be n great favor if you'll hustle out by tho first train. If anyone in this town knew that I had paid n man $20 to dig dirt out of n key for me, I'd never do an other dollar's worth of business in the whole state." Now York Times.
