Throat and Chit By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN ITH the coming of February 12 each year sees the celebration of Lincoln's birthday with increasing fervor, it »is true, in one sense, that no new thing can be said of Abraham Lincoln. It is two generations since it was said over his deathbed, "Now he belongs to the ages." As has been well said in the National House of Representatives: There is no new thing to be said of Lincoln. There Is no new thing to l)e said of the mountains, or of the sea, or of the stars. The years go their way, but the same old mountains lift their granite shoulders above the drifting clouds, and the, same mysterious sea beats upon the shore, ani$ the same 6ilent stars keep holy vigil above a tired world. But to mountain and sea and star men forever in unwearied homage. And thus, with Lincoln, for he was mountain in grandeur of spirit; he was sea in under voice of mystic loneliness; he was star in steadfast purity of purpose and of service. And he. too. abides. The years go their way, but with the name of Lincoln childhood still learns to voice a patriot's devotion, and with the name of Lincoln tears are called from old men s eyes, and there is no new thing to be said of him. But while the republic endures, upon whose altar he laid his great mind and heart, while liberty is cherished, while civic virtue and service and sacrifice are honoreq In the earth, the name uf Lincoln will be spoken in undying love by the sons of men. Jrtut from another viewpoint is it not true. For between celebrations of that birthday all the world is studying Lincoln, tilling in details of bis life and career, making new estimates of ids character, writing books on him. searching for relics of him, telling the familiar stori»; tha,t he told and hailing new ones, likening to aged men who knew him, increasing its appreciation of him. Verily, of Llncolniana there is no end. And this Is as it should be. For the world never saw a greater man than Abraham Llncoiu. ° No.man ever deserved letter of his country. America rejoices in him as a man entirely American. But the world has Ions since taken him to its heart as an ornament to the human race. Though for many a year the great of earth have laid wreaths on his sarcophagus. he is a living personality in the minds of men. And anythinjfnew about him Is received with eagerness. For his principles are acknowiedged^ to_be-the onlyj principles upon which a democracy can safely-rf>e based. There is nothing more Important, therefore, than to know what kind of a man he was. One new thing at least is this: There has begun a pilgrimage by Young America to that most sacred of all the many Lincoln Shrines, his home at Springfield and the tomb where rests his sacred clay. In the closing days of hist year 1.850 school children from 22 towns in southwestern Iowa and northwestern Missouri united in a pilgrimage to Springfield, and laid a wreath on his sarcophagus. Next, boy scouts from Chicago made this pilgrima8e* This year will see many such pilgrimages by jounf crusaders for national welfare, eager to gain vision and strength from actual contact with these Lincoln Shrines.

On Lincoln's birthday that year he • said: When t was In my early 20s I met and became a confidential friend of Abraham Lincoln.

What is believed to be a new story of Abraham sLjncoln is tohLjw a letter received by President (VoTlTIge rronfltev. E, E. Tyson, a Methodist minister of Atlantic City, N. J. At the time of the Civil war Mr. Tyson, then a boy of twelve, was a messenger boy in the War department. He is familiar with the old Washington of war times, but his Lincoln story concerns an experience of an older brother. The story as told in the letteV received by President Coolidge fellows: "He (Rev.

I live down here short distance; come see me. I have a law office uptown; drop in when you can. read Ihe papers and make yourself at home.' "Thanking him again, lie said; 'I believe you will certainly be elected, Mr. Lincoln.' " The letteV goes on to tell how Lincoln met young Tyson at church and took him home to dinner. 1 pon being mustered out, after three years' service. Tyson met Lincoln on the street in Washing- Ion. Thereupon Lincoln called him by name, examined his war record and again took him home to dinner.. Tyson saw Lincoln once more--in his coflin. l>id you know that Lincoln was an Inventor? Officials of the department of history of the Smithsonian institution the -other day came across the Inodel of an invention by Lincoln. It bears the label, "Improvement in method of lifting vessels over shoals, May 22, 1840." This patent was" tlie result of an experience, in IK'11, at the beginning of~ that voyage down the Mississippi which was fated to have an immense influence upon his whole life. Lincoln and several of his friends built a fiatbont for Oenton Offutt at Sangiimootown, which has disappeared from tlie map of Illinois. The boat was loaded with pork in barrels, corn and hogs for New Orleans. April 111 they reached New Salem, a place destined to be an important spot in the career of Lincoln. There the boatmen met with an unexpected obstacle. The boat stuck on the mill-dam or James Uutl^dge. He Was the father of Lincoln's love, Ann ltutledge, whose death nearly drove the future statesman to insanity. And there the boat hung for a duy and a night, with no prospect of release. Finally, under Lincoln's direction, some of the cargo was transferred to another boat. Then the barrels of pork were rolled forward. Still the boat stuck. Then Lincoln got an auger and bored a hole in the bottom of the after part, letting out a lot of water that had leaked in. Then the boat slid over the dam. Lincoln and his flatboat floated safely down the Sangamon and the Illinois. On the Mississippi they made brief stops at Memphis, Yicksburg and Natchez. They reached New Orleans early in May. It was then that Lincoln conceived his hatred for slavery--the only thing he ever did hate--that played so important a part in his career. As one of his companions said, "Slavery ran the iron into him then and there." It was a slave auction that most excited his anger. Lincoln, so thp storv goes, bade his companions follow him. saying: "Boys, let's get away from this. If 1 gel a cbance to hit that thing, I'll hit it hard." Remember that Lincoln's election to the Presidency hinged on his deliberate question to Douglaf In the historic "Freeport Debates" of 1858: "Can the people of a United States territory, in any lawful way, against the wish of any citizen of the United States, exclude slavery from its limits prior to the formation of a stute const I tution?" s Douglas answered "Yes" and won the senator ship. And two years later Douglas lost the Presidency, Just as Lincoln had foreseen and predicted. Lincoln made no blunders regarding slavery He saw-that through the Union only coiild if he abolished.

THE mother who permits constipation in her baby or older child is risking the health, even the life, of her little one. Fretfulness, feverishness, night terrors, grinding the teeth in sleep, biliousness, coated tongue, loss of appetite,any of these may indicate constipation. Poisons from the child's stagnant intestine are flooding the little body, and if left unchecked may lead to serious consequences. Avoid Laxatives--Say Doctors A noted authority says that laxatives do not overcome constipation, but by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition. M idical science has found in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and softens the hard food waste and hastens its passage through and out of the body. N ujol is not a medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water, it is harmless. Let your infant or child have Nujol regularly, and see rosy cheeks, clear eyes and happiness return once more. Nujol is used in children's and general hospitals and is prescribed by physicians throughout the world. *•«. us. MAT. on. For Internal Cleanliness MY IF@R<§£? New Idea Is Tractor That Walks Like Man A fullsized tractor that walks has been Invented by a Moravian. Instead of rear wheels, the vehicle is equipped with a pair of legs and moves either forward or backward. In front are two wheels that are used for steering ptir po*es. The ear travels at the speed of a galloping horse, but It can be mnde to go faster by increasing the length of the legs, says Popular Science Monthly. Like other types of wheelless cars, the new vehicle is mainly intended for traction on otherwise impracticable ground, especially for agricultural purposes. While a wheel drive has to deal with all obstacles found on rhe ground, the walking drive only strikes about 20 per cent of those actually existing. It also will draw a plow with three blades fitted with runners. so as to pass over the most Impracticable ground. The mechanical legs move quite as smoothly as th<»se of a Uving animal and,readily pass any obstacle that is encountered. Recently A German inventor produced a walkipg automobile. Instead of wheels, this queer vehicle has four legs, which propel It over all kinds Of places inaccessible to the ordinary car. It is run by a motor. ^ High-Calibered Gun The editor of a Kansas paper states that he borrowed a Winchester rifle recently, and started up the street to deliver the weapon to Its owner.
