AVher .Abraham Lincoln was a young man he ran for the legislature of Illinoit and was badly swamped. He next entered business, failed, and spent tho next 17 years of his life paying up the debts of a worthless partner He fell in loVc with a beautiful young woman, to whom he became engaged, then she died. Entering politics he ran for Congress and was badly de- feated. He then tried to get an ap- pointment to the United States Land Office but couldn't. He became a candidate for the V. S. senate and was badly defeated. In 1856 he be- came candidate for the vice presi- dency and was again defeated. Two years later he was defeated by Doug- las.

The courage ot Lincoln knowns no failure.

The request is reasonable, and a favor- able response from the powers that be, would, we feel assured, be gener- ally approved. Miss Eva Little is recovering from a very painful attack of quinsy.
