When Mrs Helm was just a girl Mrs Lincoln and children came to Lexington Ky to visit at the home of her father and the scenes of her early childhood Mary Todd frequently visited her sis ¬ ter Lillian

so thatfit was through Mr Stuart that Lincoln met f his future wife Mrs Helm is the only member of her family living today A peculiar fact she relates is that five generations of the Helm faiiiily are

ana on a visit and speut two years there making his home with the Lincolns who had pre- viously moved to Indiana from Kentucky Mr Hanks and Mr Lincoln worked together during those two years The former then returned to Kentucky ALL CAME TO ILLINOIS In the fall of 1828 Mr Hanks moved to Illinois going by way of Spencer county Ind where the Lincolns lived Abes father told him to write and iet them

it has beenthisrinter in ladn with the tariff on wheat Fdc y years the fven told that > pthcted Tibe duty t cents bushel os wsst i VrX I I t JSS 1 r j trf1 01 I although as a matter of fact theftis- Ijxed Os by the Liverpool market and I the tariffduty has never given th far meirone cent of prontj This season however a stoortage of hatdwh3at in the northwest adyan j2d prices until the Americansfarmers were receiving twenty cents mor0 per bushel jusuamossl mills did not propose to pay the Amer ¬ ican farmer the extra twenty cents unless compelled to do so and they thereupon appealed to the secretary of the treasury to permit them to import the Canadian wheat pay the duty grind it into flour export it and secure in the form of a draw back the duty they had paid the government The secretary of the treasury referred the matter to the attorney general for gen¬ eral for an opinion and that govern- mental official promptly decided in fa ¬ vor of the millers Senator Hans brough thereupon introduced a bill to prevent the drawback provision of the Dingley act from being applied to wheat The fate of this bill which is in the form of an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill will de ¬ termine just how willing and anxious the republican protectionists actually- are to pass legislation which will pro- tect ¬ the farmers while it at the same time somewhat curtails the profits of the Minneapolis millers And the whole affair is a striking illustration of the love of the republi party for the farmer Glasgow Times Should I Sleep Tonight Should I sleep

Santa GausI
> J
The question of retiring SantaClaus is a monstrous one Assoon as talk of retiring the sun
tshine the ffGwers and the singing birds
i Gloomy would this world bef without the redfaced jolly heart-ed old fellow who for generationshas been coming once a year tomake the children glad Andyet they call him a myth
It is true that but few have
ClausI I
he has never been seen But
thingsIareA fact that is not necessarily I
something that we can see andI
take hold of and measure withthe foot rule or put on the scalesandweight like a bale of hay orload of cool
Santa Claus is real in the samesense that we arehe is a spirita presence a power an influencewhiph is all that the rest ofusare The only trouble is toom ny of us are getting to be somaterialized and mercenary w-
eIrappreciate the noble old
A noble old fellow he certainlyis
Good natured he is to a faultNo one of the priviliged few whohave been fortunate enough tolay eyes on him ever saw a scowlupon his brow He is alwayshappybecause he is always
I
thinking of making other peoplehappyHis
unselfishness is absolutehis generosity is unbounded andto make even one little child gladhe would go to the ends of theworld
He believes that happiness isthe greatest thing in the worldand when he starts out on Christmas eve to scatter this blessingaround among the children nothing can daunt or discouragehim
The disappearance of the bigwide chimneys and ample fireplaces makes lots of trouble forhim but he always manages I
somehow to be on hand with theJ
presents that shall make the littie folks t happy If he cannotslip down the chimney he willclimb on the fire escape anywayto make the children glad
And is it not monstrous nayinfamous that as his reward forsuch unselfish generosity SantaClaus should receive such contumely and reproach as is beingpoured upon him in certain quarters
He has beard of the dispositionfelt in some minds to speak ofhim with flippant credulity anddisrespect and jolly as he is bynature it makes him feel anything but happy
We ought to be ashamed ofourselves We owe the grandold fellow an immediate apology
I j
Santa Claus is the best friendthat the children have on earthLet us not poison their minds
insinuaIrIThey know nothing aboutmythsbut they io know J

Should I Sleep TonightShould I sleep tonight would the cold
wind blowRelentless and cruel oer the soft white
snow-
Entwining its breeze in the the voicesof night-
Sweeping the earth in its hasty flightWould it pause to sigh and softly weep
tonightShould i sleep
Tonight Im weary of the worlds gaythrong
And I lose my thoughts in a sadder songOf the waves that lash upon times
shoreJust to ride the sea to return no moreWould that still voice call tonightShould I sleep
Shall I rest by peaceful flowing streamsWhere sweet contentment and joy be
my dreamAnd no phantom shadow lingers to ter¬
rify my soulNo tidal wave of trouble athwart my
path to rollHow sweet twould be could I only
knowShould 1 sleep tonight tW
