Abraham Lincoln, the lawyer, was one day confronted by a com¬ plainant against the trespassing chickens of an indifferent neighbor because of the friendly relations existing between the two families the client did not favor a law suit; killing the chickens might cause a fued and a high fence would be an insult. “A hopeless case,*’ said Lincoln “you are taking the remedies from me. However come back tomorrow. The next day Lincoln learned from his client that he had two children and his offending neigh¬ bor three. “Go home,’* said the lawyer af¬ ter grave reflection, “boil a dozen eggs hard and color them alter the manner of Easter eggs. After each visit from your neighbor’s chickens place one of the eggs in the yard. Your children will find them, and when they question you, credit the eggs to the offending fowls.” A few weeks later the client en¬ tered Lincoln’s office and said in explanation : “When my little ones learned the source of those colored eggs they were wild with glee and with them tantalized their little neighbors. “Then the neighbor’s children tried to keep the chickens at home and my little ones tempted them away. \fter each visit there was a colored egg and sometimes two. “Those children worried them¬ selves frantic. Jsick and made their parents This morning a load of palings and barb wire arrived at my neighbor’s.** “I thought the plan would work/’ said Lincoln. A Startling Surpisc. Very few could believe in look¬ ing at W. T. Hoadley, a healthy, robust blacksmith of Tilden, Ind., that for ten years he suffered such tortures from rheumatism as few could endure and live*.

I have been charged with a crime of which 1 am inno- oen People whom 1 have always considered my besc friends have turned against me. It is more than I can stand. Before God 1 am innocent. Pray for me. Thus wrote to us our old friend and comrade, Olin Hagood, just before he sent his soul into the presence of his Maker. It was the first knowledge that we had that our friend was in trouble. But his message came to us too late, for already had the act been commit ted. Less than two hours previous we had received a telegram tell¬ ing us that he had committed suicide. The first train that went to his home carried us. for although we could not bring the dead back to life, we could show our faith and confidence in his integrity. Eight years ago we met Olin and during that time had known him intimately and loved him well as a friend and comrade. There is not a more generous-hearted, noble- minded young man in all Georgia than he. High minded and scru¬ pulously honest, always, the thought that his friends believed him guilty was more than he could stand, and rather than bear the odium that he felt had been cast upon him he preferred meeting his Maker, whom he had always be¬ lieved to be just and faithful. He was buried Sunday afternoon in Lawrenceville, amid one of the largest crowds that had ever been known to attend a funeral in that town. The funeral sermon was preached at his request by Rev. Mr. Timmerman of the Methodist church. In speaking of Olin, Mr. Timmerman said, “I will say that no one ever treated me with more true politeness and courtesy than the young man who lies before us. I was not well acquainted with his everyday life, but I am told that he was a generous, noble, high minded young man, honest and true to his friends. I do not know, but it seem* to me that there is more good be found in the generous, broad minded man, wdio has some faults of character, than there can be found in the close, narrow minded man who pretends to be good.” The preacher, oue of the best and most loved ministers in the North Georgia conference, was right. Thus closes a life that was bright wi.h promise. And in lyis untime¬ ly death there is a lesson to be learned that all should heed. It is I this : Do not be too quick to think ill of anyone. If your friend is in trouble, give him a hearty grasp of the hand and tell him that you are with him. Do not wait till he is dead and then content yourself with saying how much you thought of him. At the inquest Charley Brand, solicitor whose duty it would have been to prosecute the young man, who knew him well and fav¬ orably, was called upon to read a letter found on his body. It was too much for him, and he broke down and cried like a Child, Another was ca t ! ed on to finish the 1 s tter. and could rot keep cr ack the tears. n y saw how innocent n h aj was. and realized that " A " rn( r ** , ^ — ,..„ J 1 V -rj, I • t \ „ \v , ere 4 , u ni;,,’ ( /11 n - fri J < r .
