Unrolii anil tlir Little Girl.
Youth's Companion.
Will the world ever know wl at depth
of tendernen?s there was in tin 1 heart ol
Abraham Lincoln? An anecdote, which
has never b*en published brings out one
more instance in which his sympathies,
awakened b\ a little child, nobly con
trolled his action. In one of the first
skirmishes oft he civil war, a young union
soldier was so severely wounded in the
leg that the limb had to be amputated.
On leaving the hospital, theyoung soldier,
by the aid of influential gentlemen, ob
tained a position as a government weigher
of hay and grain. Not long after he had
entered upon his duties, his superior of
ficer said to him:
“See here, Mr. M , this hay weighs
so much on these scales; but to the gov
ernment it weighs so much more. ’
“1 do not understand, sir. that way of
doing business. I can enter but one
weight and that is the correct one,
answered theyoung weigher.
Jlis superior walked . away uttering
threats. Theyoung man from that day
suffered many petty persecutions for his
honesty, and it was not long before he
received notice that the government had
no further need for his service. Ihe sum
mary dismissal made him so down-hearted
that when he told the story to his family,
he seemed a man without hope.
“Father, replied the eldest daughter, a
girl of thirteen, “cheer up! I am going
to see President Lincoln. I know lie will
make it all right.’’
Her father and mother tried to turn
her purpose, saying that it would be
useless to see the president, as he would
not attend to such a petty matter as the
dismissal of a weigher of grain. But her
faith in the president’s sense of justice
was so strong that she went to the \\ bite
House, and, alter three days of patient
waiting in the ante room, was admitted
to Mr. Lincoln's presence.
The hour for receiving visitors had
nearly expired, and as she entered the
room the president, throwing himself on
a lounge, said, wearily, ‘'Well, my little
girl, what can I do for you?
She told her artless story. Mr. Lincoln
listened attentively, and with a smile
asked, “But how, my dear, do I know
that your statement is true?’’
“Mr. President,” answered the girl,
with energy, “you must take my word
for it.”
“1 do,” rej died the president, rising and
taking her hand. “Come with me to Mr.
Stanton.”
‘■Stanton,” said Mr. Lincoln, as they
entered the office of the great war secre
tary, “1 wish you would hear this child s
story."
“1 have no time,” answered the’over
worked man.
■“But you must,” replied Mr. Lincoln.
“1 have not a moment to spare to-day,
Mr, President."
“Come again, my dear, to-morrow, and
Mr. Stanton will hear you then,” said the
president, leading her away.
The next day she was admitted at once
to the president, who took her over to
Mr. Stan ton *s office. The secretary listen
ed to the child’s simple story, and was so
moved by if that he indignantly exclaimed
before she had finished, “The infernal
rascal !" He went to his desk and wrote
an order for the immediate dismissal of
the dishonest official, and for theappoint
ing the little-girl’s father to the vacant
place.
Mr. Lincoln never forgot the child; he
told her story to several congressmen,
and through their influence her two
brothers were enrolled among the pages
of the House of Representatives.
Gambling in Futures.
The people and the press are pitehingin
t-o“01d Hutch” tin' successful wheat gam
bler and venting their vials of wrath on
one man, while they should be attacking
and denouncing the system of the whole
crew of future speculations. Judge Roo
ney is right when he says gamblers are
not punished, and he might have gone
further and ordered the future dealers all
hauled up in this community.
Every community is suffering from the
same canker, and poor people are made
to bear the burden in the high -prices
which result from cornering the market
in breadstuffs. The great commercial
centres aie cursed with big dealers and
small dealers, and all should be punished
alike, The law should look after them
and lawmakers should legislate so that
the necessaries of life can be placed out
of the reach of gambling deals. We agree
with the Charleston News in its remarks
about the latest instance of this kind,
when it says;
H. P. Hutchinson, the great Chicago
gambler in wheat or “Old 1101011,'' as he
is called by the tender-foot brokers who
have attempted to beat him in the game
of futures, has been denounced from one
end of the land to the other as the most
stupendous villain of the day. It is
probable that he is every bit as vile as he
lias been painted. It is certain that this
corner in wheat will occasion much dis
tress among the poor people, who, after
all, will have to foot the bills and fill his
pockets with gold. “Old Hutch” will
make about #3,000,000 by his deal, and
the bread winners and bread eaters of
the country will have as a kind of sea
soning for their frugal meals the reflec
tion that they are helping to build up
the fortunes of a most successful gam
bler.
“But why should ‘Old Hutch’ be more
-severely denounced thau all the other
gamblers who were in the game with
him? He is no worse and no bettertha-i
the brokers who operated on the other
side of the market. He simply held the
points, and called their hands when they
could not show up. In fact, we do not
know but ‘Old Hutch’ is the best man of
the whole lot. Jack Dudahey, Nat Jones,
(’barley Singer and Napoleon B. Ream,
‘the famous Big Four syndicate,’ were
trying to accomplish ‘o ? d Hutch’s’ ruin,
and he beat them fairly, as gambling
goes, beat them squarely and overwhel
mingly.
The only thing that there is to regret
about the wretched business is that so
many innocent and hard working people
will suffer by ‘Old Hutch’s’ corner. But,
so far as the idea of criminality goes, he
is not less clean and pure than the men
who conspired against him.
“So far as the interest of the people is
concerned, the shame and outrage of the
transaction do not rest primarily upon
‘Old Hutch,’ but upon the system of
gambling in futures, which is winked at
by law, and which can be cured only by
stringent and specific legislation. It is
the veriest nonsense to say that a man
can sell what he does not have, or that
his neighbor can buy from him what he
does not own.”
