GRADUATING ESSAYS. Abraham Lincoln. BY FRED T. HIMPAU Harden county in Kentucky, now known as La Rue, was not a country covered with cities and large fine buildings, but on the contrary, it was covered by large forests and inhabited by red men. Yet white men pushed their way into this State to found settlements and get wealth. This State was also inhabited by slave holders, and consequently was a slave State. The settlers obtained their wealth by large plantations and other modes of farming. The dwellings were not fine costly buildings, but were what we term "log cabins," built from the logs of trees which the owners themselves fell. The people were very industrious, for we could see it by their farms and plantations. They were not well educated for the only education which was afforded them, was by means of a little district school and by little reading, especially the bible. Such was the condition of the country and its people, when on the 12th of February, 1809, our sixteenth President Abraham Lincoln came into existence. His father, Thomas Lincoln, and his grandfather, whose name he bore, were natives of Rockingham county, Va. The grandfather migrated to Kentucky, where he was killed by the savage red men. His father, Thomas Lincoln, was then left alone to pursue his way in life at the age of twelve years. He left this State to seek his fortune in another, but afterwards returned, where in 1806 he married Nancy Sparrow, a native of Virginia. Both were members of the Baptist church and well known in religious circles as a pious but uneducated couple. The father could neither read nor write, save to scribble his name in rude hieroglyphics, which could hardly be read. The wife could not write but could read. This accomplishment made her remarkable for the time and place. Moreover it gave her the power to read the Bible to her husband, which he used as a guide, and to Abraham, which he found very interesting. Lincoln was born in obscurity and passed his early life in obscurity. Yet he came into this world to perform a grand mission, and in some sense to be the savior-of many. In these trials he at least resembled the master, whose footsteps he afterwards loved to follow. At the age of seven he began to attend school in a small academy. Not long after the Lincoln family had moved into Indiana the mother died. This family was the hardest, saddest and severest of all his trials. A year after this great crisis, his father married Mrs. Sally Johnson, who Nervous People often wonder why their nerves are so weak; why they get tired so easily; why they start at every slight but sudden sound; why they do not sleep naturally; why they have frequent headaches, indigestion and nervous Dyspepsia The explanation is simple. It is found in that impure blood which is continually feeding the nerves upon refuse instead of the elements of strength and vigor. In such condition opiate and nerve compounds simply deaden and do not cure. Hood's Sarsaparilla feeds the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives natural sleep, perfect digestion, is the true remedy for all nervous troubles.

Richmond, the sepulchre opened, and the strong, powerful champion of liberty, Abraham Lincoln, entered it. Fashionable Follies. BY CLAUDINE WEBER. Of the fashionable follies practiced in these modern times, perhaps the foolishness in dress is most general. Every one is in fear lest he should be behind the fashion. If there is a new garment to be made, the fashion plate is consulted and some style selected, whether it is becoming or not, just because it is the style. Pointed-toed, or tooth-pick shoes must be worn, because they are in style, no matter how uncomfortable. Every imaginable extravagance is gone to, in the styles for hats. At present they might be called flower gardens. One year it is all the feathers that you can mass on, the next no feathers, but a mass of ribbons and flowers, making them so heavy you can scarcely hold your head up under the burden. Even sailor hats change in style twice a year. There was a time when the handkerchief had to be folded just so, while now it is all crushed up. Perhaps the most important thing about dress is the shade of the cloth. If a certain shade or color is fashionable, you will seldom see another worn. Let Madame Fashion say green, and it is green, let her say purple, and the blonde, the brunette, and the girl with no complexion at all, all appear in that has his craft capsized because he can too much sail of point lace. In New York and other large cities is a fad at the present time to fashionable dinner parties for the lady sends out invitations to friends' dogs, for a dinner party certain day. Each woman brings dog to the party where they are so with a sumptuous repast, and attained very much as persons are trained. This is not only an expense but a very foolish fad. They feed so much sweets that their teeth drench poor doggie has to undergo a operation and have his teeth filled gold. They even go so far as to expensive funerals and next I see they will have their bodies cremated and their ashes put into a golden casket to adorn the parlor mantle. Not tent with dressing and pamper themselves, they must carry it if they lower themselves by spending an animal which is insensitive to their efforts. Another foolish indulgence of wealthy is the spending of several weeks at fashionable health resorts at certain seasons the town is deserved by the society people. The world is transported to some fastable mineral spring, where each person drinks the waters and takes mud in the morning, and indulges in the gayeties in the afternoon and evening. When these people go back to they are little benefited by the chicPerhaps the most disastrous for the age is the fashionable way of ing every book that comes out in today you have read it. This we intellect for reading any without trying to remember it; or any helpful thoughts from it; or time, leave the mind unable to any thought. Another extravagant and useless penditure of money is the doing table work for the sake of being church, when it is fashionable so. Such charity is mere waste money; for expenditure of money the poor without sympathy is a devoid of result. The poor are offended, or those not worthy of getting the money, or articles given can be of no possible use to the public. If I should go on to enumerate follies of which the fashionable of to-day is guilty, it would be very familiar story of "And all locust came and carried off an grain of corn," the another never cease. Woman's Work in Referee BY MYRTLE BREWER. Do not think you are going to talk on woman's rights for not touch on that subject. My deeds rather with woman in a sphere. Why was woman created be the helpmate of man. To fulfil mission is the highest, most work she can accomplish. Moreover it gave her the power to read the bible to her husband, which he used as a guide, and to Abraham, which he found very interesting. Lincoln was born in obscurity and passed his early life in obscurity. Yet he came into this world to perform a grand mission, and in some sense to be the savior of many. In these trials he at least resembled the master, whose footsteps he afterwards loved to follow. At the age of seven he began to attend school in a small academy. Not long after the Lincoln family had moved into Indiana the mother died. This calamity was the hardest, saddest and severest of all his trials. A year after this great crisis, his father married Mrs. Sally Johnson, who proved to be a worthy step-mother. Mr. Lincoln at the age of twenty-one left home to begin his career in life. His first public office was the post-office. From a postmaster he was elected a member of the Legislature of Illinois, first as Assemblyman then as Senator. Abraham Lincoln being now prepared moved toward the appointed place of labor. The hour of his destiny struck Chicago the 18th of May, 1860, when the Republican convention met. There were four hundred and sixty-five delegates. While the city was filled with earnest men, Lincoln was at his home in Springfield. When he received the announcement of his nomination by the third ballot he was calm, while his friends shouted in triumph. Election day arrived and Lincoln was chosen President of the United States by a handsome majority, for two million votes carried for Lincoln the electoral votes of sixteen States. On February 11th the President-elect left home for the place to which he was chosen. When he arrived at Washington everything was successful, for even the opposing party helped greet him, as they were pleased with him, for his true heart won their friendship. Inauguration day, 4th of March, 1861, arrived. The ceremony of this inauguration was in some respects the most brilliant and imposing ever witnessed in Washington. After the ceremony he retired to the White House, his future home. Thus the lonely born son of a Western pioneer sat in the presidential chair of a grand republic. Already the mutterings of a great storm were to be heard. Lincoln sat helpless in his seat, while seceding States unlawfully possessed themselves of forts and other governmental property, and began to prepare for civil war. Never before was a people in so great need of a leader than during this period, for a pillar of fire in the night of war was fast descending upon them. But Abraham Lincoln was the chosen man of the people. After hearing the names of Caesar and other great characters, we find that the name of our Caesar, Abraham Lincoln, would not look pale among them. Such was the appointment of Abraham Lincoln, whose devotion to human rights was more than a genius or power. This appointment resembled that of David, by the Lord, over the people of Israel, and whoever is called for such an appointment as Abraham Lincoln was is certainly greater than Caesar. With a prescience belonging to the Quaker inheritance a gathering cloud was seen and the thunders of war were heard by Lincoln, who was called to be the head of a great nation in its most troubling times. Yet he tried to prevent the clashing of steel, for the golden emblems in his inaugural address were a desire for peace, but these utterances of peace were drowned in the noisy clamors of war. Yet Lincoln had no desire of being a flower gardens. One year it is all the feathers that you can mass on, the next no feathers, but a mass of ribbons and flowers, making them so heavy you can scarcely hold your head up under the burden. Even sailor hats change in style twice a year. There was a time when the handkerchief had to be folded just so, while now it is all crushed up. Perhaps the most important thing about dress, is the shade of the cloth. If a certain shade or color is fashionable, you will seldom see another worn. Let Madame Fashion say green and it is green, let her say purple, and the blonde, the brunette, and the girl with no complexion at all, all appear in that royal color. We cannot even wear our hair as nature provided. How can we live in peace with a suit of black or brown hair, when fashion says it must be a reddish gold? It is simply impossible, so we go to work to convert the black to the desired shade, and when this is accomplished we expect to be happy. But alas! flicker fashion changes, and those who bleached their hair last year have the pleasure of dyeing it now. As to the men, they are about as bad as the women on the subject of dress. They have to have a certain kind of shoes too. First the pants were tight, then flaring at the ankles, then they were very large, and now they are back to a close fit. So you see the style of the men's pants vary as the sleeves of the women. When the Willie Boy suits came into style, it was not two weeks till almost every man of style had one. A man is not considered a gentleman of the style unless he wears a silk hat and carries a cane. Men are even so foolish as to write to papers to know what color and styled necktie to wear at certain places, such as balls, weddings and receptions. They laugh at the women about their fashions, but there are foolish men as well as foolish women. Now-a-days, to be fashionable, every one must ride a wheel, not to ride only, but must have a certain styled wheel. First you get one make, and perhaps use it two or three months, when some other style will come in, and the old one is discarded for a new kind. It is same with the color of wheel and style of suits. Some people ride to extremes and injure their health, but because other people ride a great deal they think they must, even if it isn't healthy. In racing there is danger of accidents, which often prove fatal. We should indulge in no amusement which will injure the health. No pleasure can be called recreation that does not leave a person as pure in mind and sound in body as when he begins. What is the happy medium of social life for a person? The common sense moderation point. A person should indulge in no pleasure either in kind or extent, which is detrimental to his health. A pleasure should exhilarate; then it is good. If it exhausts, it is bad. Another folly is in taking music lessons, both vocal and instrumental, when there is no talent, and paying a stylish price to have some famed teacher come to give the lessons, when there is no good done. Again there is this giving of informal five o'clock teas, and daunting afternoon luncheons, to see who can set the finest table; the giving of card parties and playing for prizes; the giving of one party each season and trying to outdo every other one in their set; and the going out into society and neglecting home duties. A fashionable woman once said she kept up a lengthy calling list, so that she would be assured of a large funeral. Another great folly is going beyond hats. At present they might be called flower gardens. One year it is all the feathers that you can mass on, the next no feathers, but a mass of ribbons and flowers, making them so heavy you can scarcely hold your head up under the burden.

Yet he tried to prevent the clashing of steel, for the golden emblems in his inaugural address were a desire for peace, but these utterances of peace were drowned in the noisy clamors of war. Yet Lincoln had no desire of being a second Calin, for not a gleam of military glory dazzled in his eye, nor any murderous purpose lurked in his soul, for when war was declared, as it could no longer be avoided, he did so with a sadness of heart. He guided the ship of state month after month, year after year, and though the wild waters heaved tumultuously, and the huge breakers lifted their crested heads, and filled the ear of the listener with their tremendous voice, in the hour of a nation's dismay, the hand of God grasped the helm and the eye of Abraham Lincoln glanced to the star that rose in the East and heralded the day of freedom. Years went on and President Lincoln kept up with the time. It was not an easy thing to conduct such a civil war to its triumphal close. But Lincoln bore the burden of the nation's woes. This was a necessity which Lincoln accepted and he would not do otherwise; and while in these days Lincoln waited for light he beheld obscurity, yet he did not despair. All great and noble men have their great and peculiar trials, for no one stands on the heights of history who has not been fitted for their position by trials and sufferings. Abraham Lincoln was among the ones to face the bitter afflictions of this world. We know some of the trials of his early life, his bitter grief at the loss of his mother; his struggles and poverty and other discouragements. And when he became President of this vast Republic a burden of grave responsibility was laid on him. By a strange and cruel misfortune, the duty of waging war was imposed upon the most peace-loving and amiable ruler. When Lincoln was breaking the chains of slavery, freeing millions of future citizens, and the stars of the Union sparkling with golden fire, Grant's cannon was proclaiming its emancipation, and when at the moment the stars and stripes were waving over the subdued cities of Petersburg and Another folly is in taking music lessons, both vocal and instrumental, when there is no talent, and paying a stylish price to have some famed teacher come to give the lessons, when there is no good done. Again there is this giving of informal five o'clock teas, and dainty afternoon luncheons, to see who can set the finest table; the giving of card parties and playing for prizes; the giving of one party each season and trying to outdo every other one in their set, and the going out into society and neglecting home duties. A fashionable woman once said she kept up a lengthy calling list, so that she would be assured of a large funeral. Another great folly is going beyond your means to keep up with the fashions. The expensiveness of sham is a great hinderance to living within one's income. If every man's financial condition were written above the door of his house or of his place of business every morning, there would be less occasion to constantly sham, or try to make other people believe we are richer than we are. To dress as well as other people is well enough, but if we cannot afford it we are very foolish to try. To dress less finely than one's associates, to pay less rent, and to economize in a multitude of ways is infinitely more wise, than to go about a walking deception, as he does who wears clothes for which he cannot pay, or in other ways spends money beyond what his income justifies. It is absolutely necessary that we draw a line between that which is the lawful use of beautiful adornment and that extravagance which is the source of so much crime; wretchedness, and abomination in our day. It is sinful extravagance when you go into anything beyond your means. That which is lawful for one may be wrong for another. When men and women cross over this by exceeding their income, they have passed from the innocent into the guilty. Across this line have gone a multitude that no man can number. We judge of what we ought to have by what others have. If they have a sumptuous table, fine residence, gay turn out, exquisite apparel, and brilliant surroundings, we must have it, irrespective of our capability of standing the expense. We like to see fine horses, fine carriages and coachmen, but if people are in debt for them, it would be better for them to get down and walk like the rest of us. We throw ourselves down in despair because others have seal-skin coats, when we have only ordinary ones, because others have diamonds when we have garnets. This wide spread extravagance is the source of many absconding bankrupts and suicides. The husband and father great books. The influence of wisdom on the same everywhere. Her courage influences the morals, manner characters of the people in all tries. Where society is debased she is morally poor, and where enlightened society will be cognitatively elevated. Hence we want to instruct man; to elevate her chin is to raise his own, to enlargement mental freedom is to extend and that of the whole community. We must therefore, have sufficient time to fit her for the duties in real life. Her education should be conducted throughout with a view to her position as wife and mother among all classes, even in the last education of girls is rare ducted with this object in view. Among the working people, they are sent out to work; among the classes, they are sent out to gain flashy accomplishments, and left to pick from them, very often little judgment the future will give mother. Men themselves, attach little importance to the intelligence dustrial skill of woman, and cover the value of these qualities they find their homes stupid and less men are caught by the bright eye, by a pair of rosy eyes by a handsome figure, and when "fall in love" as the phrase goes think whether the "loved one mend a shirt or cook a pudding yet the most sentimental of his must come down from his "ecstasy when the knot is tied, and soon finds out that the clever handsman are worth far more than glances; and if the shirt and qualifications be absent, then to the unhappy man, and woeful management of the home depends for part upon woman. She is here the manager of every family and hold. How much therefore need upon her intelligent co-operative Man's life revolves around She is the sun of his social life is the queen of domestic life fort of every home mainly dependent her character her temper her organization and her busin agement. Generally speaking,the ing and discipline that are most for one sex, in early life are all suitable for the other. And this tension and culture that fills them of man will prove equally who for women; indeed all the argue which have yet been advanced in regard to the higher education of man equally strong in favor of the education of woman. In all elements of home,intelligence will woman's usefulness and efficacious NEW YORK and other large cities it had at the present time to give onable dinner parties for the dogs. Only sends out invitations to her dogs, for a dinner part, on a day. Each woman brings her to the party where they are served a sumptuous repast, and entertains very much as persons are entertained. This is not only an expensive every foolish fad. They feed them such sweets that their teeth decay; poor doggie has to undergo a dental crown on the parlor mantle. Not con- with dressing, and pampering ourselves, they must carry it father power themselves by spending time, money and energy in pampering an animal which is insensible to their efforts. Another foolish indulgence of the baby is the spending of several days at fashionable health resorts. Certain seasons the town is deserted the society people. The social life is transported to some fashion-mineral spring, where each person takes the waters and takes mud baths in morning, and indulge in the usualties in the afternoon and evenings. In these people go back to town are little benefited by the change. Perhaps the most disastrous folly of age is the fashionable way of read every book that comes out in order you have read it. This weakens intellect, for reading anything but trying to remember it, or to get helpful thoughts from it, will in leave the mind unable to retain thought. Another extravagant and useless ex-tulture of money is the doing charl- ee work, for the sake of being in the city, when it is fashionable to do such charity is mere waste of money; for expenditure of money for poor without sympathy is always cold of result. The poor are either injured, or those not worthy of help, the money, or articles given that be of no possible use to the people. I should go on to enumerate the idea of which the fashionable world-day is guilty, it would be like the familiar story of "And another bast came and carried off another man of corn," the anotheres would ever cease. Woman's Work in Reform. BY MYRTLE BREWER. Do not think you are going to listen talk on woman's rights, for I shall touch on that subject. My subject is rather with woman in a higher here. Why was woman created? To the helpmate of man. To fulfill this mission is the highest, most perfect task she can accomplish.

Man himself cannot be sound in mind or morals if woman be the reverse.

Highest Market price Paid for Live Stock! while the mind and character should be cultivated with a view to woman's own well being, they should not the less be educated liberally with a view to the happiness of others. Man himself cannot be sound in mind or morals if woman be the reverse. We often hear it remarked that the condition of the people mainly depends on the education of home; if so, the education of woman is to be regarded as a matter of great importance. Ruskin says, "that a girl's education should be nearly the same as a boy's, but differently directed." A woman in any rank of life should know whatever her husband is likely to know, but in a different way. His command of it should be foundational and progressive, her's general and accomplished, for daily helpful use. Woman can no more do man's special work in the world, than man can do woman's. And whenever woman has been withdrawn from her home and family to enter upon other work, the result has been disastrous. The highest position a woman can fill is not only to help her husband but to help others as well. The office of wife is not to be despised, nor is it by any right thinking woman of today. Woman cannot raise man from the degradation in which he is content by going down to him, then striving to gain her former position dragging him up with her. She will find, if she tries it, that she not only fails to influence him to climb with her, but that she herself is kept back, with him, and in time brought to the same condition. On the other hand, let woman remain pure on her lofty throne, and man will climb till he reaches the same plane with her. He is pleased with the idea of attaining the pure and perfect and will climb the harder, and strive more to reach her level than he will after he has seen she may be had without striving. So that should woman demand that man be pure and perfect, he would certainly strive to meet her wishes. Now comes the question of her rights concerning the affairs of state. This question answers itself. If she works in harmony with her husband and sons, if she influences them in the right way, then her work is done. Man is not wandering as his own less acute judgment directs him, but is following the judgment of her whose duty is to judge. She must understand the questions that interest him, must be able to direct him. We love to follow advice of which we are always certain. Now we women begin to shrug our shoulders and say: where could we ever find time to do all of that, cook, keep the house in order, sew for the family, take care of the husband and children, then find time to direct the thoughts in the right channels, be their infallible counselor in any question that may arise and keep the home entirely free from worries. We say that it utterly uses less to undertake it. Yet this is what nature intended, and nature we know is infallibly wise. This is what we mean when we say woman is to be the helpmate of man. If we are qualified to fill the position in all its meaning, we will have time not only for this, but to help direct the struggles of our less fortunate neighbors. This is what we should do instead of trying to vote men into doing right when we ourselves are in the wrong. Let us fit ourselves for the place we are to fill and there will be no need of reform. Then indeed will woman have her rights. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Southern Pacific Local Time Table. Southern Pacific Railroad Time Table.—Trains pass Anaheim as follows: To Los Angeles Lv.

A GASOLINE STOVE EXPLODES WITH FEARFUL RESULTS. The Burning Fluid Falls all Over Mrs. Nora E. Hill. She is Fearfully Burned—Inhales the Flames and is Seriously Injured, but Proper Medical Treatment Saved Her Life. From the Chronicle, Chicago, Ill. Perhaps in no case as yet recorded has the efficiency of a popular remedy been found so clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora E. Hill. While her condition, caused by a frightful and distressing accident, places her beyond the pale of perfect recovery, she has received such marked relief that the story of the accident and the sufferings resulting from it, will be of more than ordinary interest to thousands of invalids. Mrs. Nora E. Hill, before September 1893, was a hale, hearty and strong woman, past the middle age of life. She tells the following story: "September 1, 1893, while attending to my duties about the house, a gasoline stove which I had used for some time, suddenly exploded, throwing the burning fluid over me. Before my clothes which were on fire could be torn off, my right arm and hand were fearfully burned. This however, was not my most serious injury, as I had inhaled some of the flames, and I found the inside of my mouth blistered. My hand and arm to the elbow were burned to the bone, and my physician believed amputation necessary, but after weeks of great suffering, I was spared the operation, and I have fairly good use of my hand and arm now. "Shortly after the process of healing of arm and hand, my stomach commenced to give me trouble. I did not then realize what it meant. After each meal I was seized with a cramping sensation, and then in a few days there were frightful pains, which threw me into clammy perspiration. For eight months I was under the care of my physician, battling hard with death. I had lost 93 pounds, becoming a mere skeleton, my appetite was gone, and my nervous system completely shattered. "I lost confidence in everything, was totally discouraged, and determined to go to my former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and have my old physician make an examination of my condition. He did so and during all this time, which had the effect of completely upsetting my stomach and nervous system. "From January to July 1595, I suffered frightful agonies resulting from the trouble in my stomach, and was again thrown into gastric fever, which kept me in bed three weeks. "A year ago last October I commenced to take Dr. Williams' Pick Pills for Pale People. After I had taken two boxes they broke the gastric ever after enabled me to get up. I found also that they gave me strength, and my appetite came back. I found that I could digest the food I ate, and the pains disappeared. I also noticed that I became less nervous; in fact my general condition improved very much. "The following March (in 1896) I was again troubled with the abscesses but to a much less degree than formerly. This was due to the efficiency of the pills which undoubtedly had brought my blood to a much better condition. I want to explain here that the doctors said that the cause of the appearance of abscesses was due to the ulcerated condition of the stomach, which vitilified the blood through my entire system. "The pills have allayed my nervousness, they are putting my blood into better condition, they have cleared my brain, and have given me an appetite which I can gratify by eating light food without causing the terrible pain which formerly almost drove me insane. The pills are doing for me more than any medical aid I have ever received, and they have stopped my suffering to a very great extent. I do not think nor do I expect that they will cure me, because all physicians are agreed who have examined me that it is impossible. Past experience however has shown me that they will to a great extent make my life bearable. This I believe is doing wonders, and I feel that if they have done this much for me, there must be many people who are suffering whom they can surely cure." "I was born and raised in Michigan, and came to Chicago some ten years ago. I know quite a number of people on the west side, and have told them of the marvelous relief I have gained by taking Dr. Williams' as it used to be. This may be true as far as the generality of money-makers is concerned, but the chosen few, of which Rockefeller is the premier, are piling up riches to-day faster than ever. Where in the history of the world did any man ever make $55,000,000 in nine months? The luck of the bonanza kings of early California days dwindles to piggy proportions compared with it. Nothing like it was ever heard among the diamond mines of princess of South Africa. Wall street or Lonard street furnishes no parallel. The histories of the financiers of Europe or the pet owners of the East could be ransacked without unearthing its duplicate. Rockefeller's wealth is not all locked up in the Standard Oil Company. He has nearly a solid $100,000,000 invested in many enterprises of vast magnitude. In real estate he has tied up $15,000,000; in steamship lines $2,000,000; in iron mines $15,000,000; in railroad stocks and bonds $25,000,000; in bank stock $8,000,000; in natural gas stock-$4,000,000; in manufactured gas stock-$3,000,000; in mines in Western States.$5,000,000; in Government bonds and miscellaneous securities.$12,000,000, and in cash about$2,000,000. All of the figures just given are approximate, as the securities are constantly fluctuating, and the inconsistent flow of income necessitates new investments. A total estimate of $244,000,000 can be regarded as conservative. His fortune may be greater by $10,000,000, but it is hardly less than the figure just gives. This places John D. Rockefeller at the head of the millionaires, not only of this country, but of the world. At one time it was said that Li Hung Chang was worth $500,000,000, but this was proved a great exaggeration, the noted Chinaman not owning property worth one-fifth of that sum. At Kew Town Expense.
