8ifc".ature of /
Lincoln and the Whetstone.
Concerning the great height of
Abraham Lincoln, the following
story is told, which is said to he
new, says the Detroit Tribune.
M hen a candidate tor the Illinois
Legislature and while making a
personal canvas of his district,
he one day took dinner with ii
fanner who also loaned him a
whetstone with which to sharpen
his knife. \ T ears afterwards wnen
Mr, Lincoln had become presi
dent, a soldier came to call oil
him at the White House. At the
first glance the Chief Executive
said:
i ( Aes, I remember you; you
used to live on the Danville road,
I took dinner with you when I was
running for the Legislature. I
recollect that we stood talking
out at the barnyard gate, while I
stood sharpening my jack-knife. » >
i < Y-a-a-s, 5 J drav»4ed the soldier,
< i you did. But wherever did
say,
you put that whetstone? I looked
for it a dozen times, but I
coaid find it after the day you
used it. We ’lowed as how
you took it with you. y y
“No, ) > said Lincoln, looking
serious and noshing away a lotof
documents oHs tate from the desk
in front of him, t 4 No, I put it on
top of the gate post—that high
one.”
Well, a exclaimed the visitor,
ti mebbeyoudid. Couldn’t nobody
else have put it there, and none o?
us ever thought to look there for
it.
The soldier was then on his way
home, and when he got there the
first thing he did was to look for
the whetsto ne. And sure enough,
1 there it was. just where Lincoln
! hud laid it fifteen years beiore.
| The honest fellow wrote to the
j Chief Magistrate of the nati " n >
telling him that the whetstone had
! been found, and would never
| lost again. 3 ?
A Nation’s Growth.
I
When we answer half carelessly,
wholly impatiently, the
put to us by the census takers,
very few of us stop to realize Unit
our crumbs of information, frW
quently so grudgingly given, are
in reality very important parts of
an inconceivably great whole,
something that serves the
world in affording i
a general and
accurate knowledgeconcerning all
the facts connected with the status
of the nation.
Some idea as to just how stu
pendous are the facts gleaned by
the census-takers may he acquired
from certain figures given in a re
cent article in the Century* in
which special stress is laid on the
fact that the modern census sup
plies the lamp to the feet
Patrick Henry once described
perience as being. We learn that
since 1790 the area of the
States has increased from 827,844
to 3,622,933 square miles; the
number of counties has increased
from 807 to 2,867; and the total
population has increased from 8,
929,214 to 76,803,887, or nineteen
fold. There are four states each
possessing, in 1900, u population
greater than that of the entire na¬
tion in 1790, at which time two
of the four were an untrodden
wilderness. The number of cities
with a population of 8,000 or over
has increased from from 6 to 516
and the number witb'n population
of 25,000 or over from 2 to 171.
There are now 88 cities having
a population exceeding 100,000
and 8 of these have over 1,000
each. In 1900 the record of capi¬
tal, wages and value of products
of manufactures rises to figures
almost beyond comprehension.
The capital invested was 19,840,-'

paid amounted to $13,039,279,566.
j n , igriculture the figures are al
west equally impressive. The
total value of farms in 1900 was
$16,674,500,247, and that of •jcrri- *■ o*

we could realize this astonishing
growth in only the most superla
Mve and unsatisfactory manner

power, so surely is it imperative
that we should realize fully what
we have grown to lie and wluit is
may be possible, n. the light of
what lias been done in the past,
