FRANKED FOR THEM.
A SOLDIER’S STORY OF -PRESIDENT
i LINCOLN AND BOYS IN BLUE.
As Envelope That I* More Valuable Than
tka Beat Stamp In Any Collection—-The
Soldier Who Wouldn’t Tell Lincoln a
He.
1 ‘Let thia go. A. Lincoln.”
Unless it has been destroyed there is
la a home in Fond du Lacconuty, Wis.,
s soldier letter in an onvolope bearing
the above words, signed by tho great war
president. King Lamartine boy,
Frank was a
fresh from the farm, and a character
eer whole oempany took to kindly from
the first.
When the army was camped in Vir
glnia, near Washington, the winter of
1861 - 8 it was a common practice with
, to
the soldiers, when they got a pass
visit the city to buy a package of on
vslopes and call at the oapitol send in
for their senator or representative and
get him to frank them.
One of our boys came back to camp
in high feather. He had two packages
Howe, who sneoeeded Captain James as
postmaster general in President Arthur’s
cabinet. For 80 years senators and mem
bers have been giving a good deal of
their time to helping the soldiers with
their Willingly pension claims. If they have done
it as and pleasantly as they
used to frank envelopes for the boys,
they must be pretty nearly angels.
‘‘You fellows, thero, are making a
big blast over getting a conplo of sena
tors to frank your envelopes,” said
Frank King. “Just yon wait till you see
jue come back from Washington with
the president’s Daiueousome letter cov
f »»
Within a few days Frank King and
Harry Dunn, who for years after the
war was a Chicago business man, wont
to tho city. They called at tho White
House. It was easier to soo tho president
then than it is now. At certain hours
of the day a soldier could reach the
chief executive with fully as much ease
as a senator can in these later years.
King was tho ringleader. Approach¬
ing the gnard, he said: “We want to
■M Mi. Lincoln. Please stand aside and
let ns pass. ”
“Who are you, and what is your busi¬
ness?’’
“Yon tell old Abo we have chargo of
• regiment over on Arlington
•nd want to seo him on an important
matter. He’ll lot us in. ”
“Where are your shoulder straps?”
“We came over iu our everyday
clothes. Come, wo are iu a hurry. Let
ns go iu and see Mr. Lincoln.”
The parley had attracted tho attention
ot the president. The door swung open
and the good natnred chief of the nation
smiled npon the choeky young fellows
and bade them step right in.
“What can I do for yon, my men?”
“Mr. Lincoln, I want you to frank
these envelopes,” said King.
* ‘Better get yonr congressman to dc
that.”
“I’d much rather have yon do it, Mr.
Lincoln. The folks at home would like
to see your name on my letters.”
“I’ll fks thorn IttUa tho moai
fo your congressman. Who is he?”
“I don’t know.”
“Where is your home?”
“Lamartine, Fond du Lao county,
“That is my friend Scott Sloan’s dis¬
trict. You go to Mr. Sloan. He will fix
the rest of them.”
The president shook hands with the
two privates, asked them to be brave
soldiers and wished tiiem a safe roturn
' to their western homes.
Frank couldn't make his teutmates
believe that the president had written :
“Let this go. A. Lincoln. ” But tho next
day he wrote a letter to his fathor. The
name of Lincoln was personally exam¬
ined by all of the neighbors.
In January, 1864, our regiment was
in Washington on the way home, having
re-enlisted—“veteranized,” ns they
called it In company with two others
I went to the White House. Tho presi¬
dent shook hands with ns, thanked p?
for swearing in for three years more and
expressed the hope that we would have
• nice visit ou our veteran furlough.
“Mr. President,” said Jouos—Ed
Jones—“you franked a letter for one of
the boys iu our company, Frank King.
I wish you would frank one for me. ”
“Odd as it may seem, you are the
second soldier to rnako such a request,
So both are of the same company? Very
well.”
On Jones’ envelope he wrote “A.
Lincoln, President,” and as he handed
it back he asked what had become oi
that other man who hnd asked him to
pass a letter.
“He was killed at Gettysburg.”
I shall never forget ths look of sad¬
ness in the president’s face when the
answer was given, and it had not disap¬
peared when we left the room.
“Jones, what did yon tell him about
King for? Did you seo how it pained
him?”
“What did he ask about him for? Do
you suppose I was going to lio to a man
I would die for?” was Jones’ indignant
Times-Horald.
The Court’s Decision.
“You remember Howforth, who mar¬
ried tbe woman who kept houso for him
■o long?”
“Yep. ”
“Well, the court granted her a di¬
vorce last week.”
“Alimony?”
“Not in cash. Tbe decision was that
she could keep the house.’’—Cincinnati

The legend about the names of the
group of islands on the south coast pre
scuts an instance of how fancied resent*
blauces give rise to stories. It is related
that these islands once belonged to a
man with four daughters, lo Nancy,
the oldest, the father gave the first
choice, and tho fact that “Nan took it »•
is recorded in the name of Nantucket,
the island she selected. Nautncket, of
course, is in reality an Indian name,
Martha’s \ ineyaid and the Elizabeth
islands went to Martha and Elizabeth,
respectively, while for the fourth daugh
ter, whose name has been lost to mem
ory, there was nothing left hut the most
remote and undesirable of the groun,
which was called No Mans Land, bo¬
cause its owner was a woman. The
Elizabeth islands, iu fact, wero named
for Queen Elizabeth by Bartholomew
tiosnold, their discoverer, whoso name
been given to the town that corn
prises them.—Boston Transcript,
Mailing Candy Abroad.
A young man who apparently knows
a girl iu London came into tho office the
other day and asked whether candy
could bo sent abroad through the mails.
So he Was takeu over to the postoflice
and the state of affairs was laid before
an official, who instigated an investiga¬
tion. After a long time he returned and
reported as follows:
“I am very glad,’’said he, “that you
asked that question. Ua answer shows
a curious state of affairs. In this coun¬
try yon cau send candy up to 4 pounds
as merchandise for 1 cent for each
ounce. If you want to send candy
abroad you only have to pay 1 cent for
evory 2 ounces, but you can only send
12 ounces in each package. If it weighs
more than 12 ounces you have to pay
letter rates, or 10 cents auouuoe for the
whole thing.
“That is to say, you tan send 10
ounces to London for 5 cents, but it
would cost you 10 cents to tuid it to
Brooklyn, bo if you are yanking of
sending a pound it will cost you $1.60.
The stamp department is right over
there.”
“Thank you very much,” said the
young man. “I ju.it happen to remem¬
ber that the doctor has forbidden the
to eat candy.”—New York Mail
and Express.

ONE OF NELSON’S CAPTAINS.
A New Yorker Commanded a British Ship
In ihc Battle of the Nile.
The fifth ship was tho Theseus, Cap¬
tain Ralph Willett Miller. This gentle¬
man, whom after Ins premature death
Jfelsou styled “tho only truly virtuous
man 1 ever know, ” was by birth a Now
Yorker, whose family had been loyalists
during tho American Revolution. A let¬
ter from him to his wife gives an ac¬
count of the fight which is at once
among the most vivid and from tho
professional standpoint tho most satis¬
factory of those which liavo boeu trans¬
mitted to ns. Of the Theseus’ entrance
into the battle ho says:
“In running along the enemy’s line
in tho wakepf ths Zealous and Goliath,
I observed their shot sweep just over ua.
And knowing well that at such a mo¬
ment Frenchmen wonld not have cool¬
ness ouougb to change their elevation,
I closed them suddenly, and, running
under the arch of their shot, reserved
iny fire, every gnu being loaded with
two and some with throe round shot,
until I had the Ouerrier’s masts in a
lino and her jibbooru about six feet clear
of our rigging. We then opened with
such effect that a second breath could
not be drawn before her main and mis
sen masts wero also gouo. This was pre
cist-ly at sunset, or 44 minutes past 6.
Then passing between her and the Zeal
ous and as close as possible round the
off side of the Goliath, we anchored by
the stern exactly in a line with her and
abroast the Spartiate. We had not been
many minutes in aotiou with the Spar
tiate when we observed one of our ships
(and soon after knew her to be the Van
guard, place herself so directly opposite
to us ou the outside of her that I desist¬
ed firing on b-r, that I might not do
mitchkf toonr friends, and directed ev¬
ery gun before the mainmast on tho
Aquilon (fourth French) and all ubuft
it on the Conquerant, giving np my
proper bird to the admiral.”—“Nelson
Iu the Battle of tho Nile,” by Captain
Mahan, iu Century.
THE CRANE DANCE.
Whvro the Svubrettes Got Their Idea for
a Specialty.
There is a dance called the crane
dance, which is popular at the vaude¬
ville houses. At Lincoln pqrk there is a
real crane which does a crane dance,_
and those who hr.ve seen its saltatoriul'
ft .its say the bird does it much better
than do the feafberlesa, two legged ani¬
mals.
No purely imitativo dancing could
fail to gain by being an exact copy of
the performance of the Jong nocked,
spindle legged sand hill crane. Its steps
are not only grotesque, but they are of
a kind to make the gravest onlooker loso
his dignity and laugh like a delighted
boy at the circus. This Lincoln park
bird at the outsot of his dance is the
personification of dignity. Whou in the
days of his freedom he tripped it ou his
native sand hills for the solo benefit of
his mate, be did so only in the spring¬
time, but now, iu his lowly captive
state, he dances in and out of season if
the keeper who feeds him will but wave
his arms and take an awkward step or
two to give him encouragement.
The crane begins its dance by shoving
one long leg, with its claw attachment,
straight out in front of his body. Then
he lowers it and draws it back slowly
until it is within an inch er two of the
ground. Then there is a lightninglike
double siiullio, and the other leg is
pointed to the front. Then the dance
begins in earnest. The wings are
stretched and beat the air iu perfeot
time to the movement of the feet, be
they going fast or slow. There is the
semblance of a clog; then the sinuous
foot and body movement of the uautoh
girl, and iu a moment the whirl of the
d. neing dervish, to bo succeeded as a
finale by a sort of wild “all hands
round,” in which every feather of the
bird is alive, as it enters into the joy of
the dance with an utter abandon. The
act of stopping is like the “halt” of the
German soldier—sudden, stiff and in¬
stant. Tbeu the crane marches away to
a coruor with a still stately tread, but
with an eye which appears to reveal em¬
barrassment.—Chicago Timcs-Herald.
Eugli*h Adriinlt <(nUivn of Jutuaica.
The English administration of Ja
j maica is a thing to be thankful for.
There are law and order, excellent
roads, comfortable houses, adequate po
lien, lawn tenuis aud orioket, plenty of
manly, companionable English army
aud navy officers aud a governor who is
strong, able and genial. At the same
time it would be folly to maintain that
the island is producing a tenth part of
the wealth that is latent.in eoil and
atmosphere, or thab most of the wealth
that is beginning to make its ap
pearance is due to anything so much
as to tho American enterprise and cap
ital which are opening np railways
cultivating freits. Another serious
fact, though not necessarily an unwel
come one, Is that the island’s 4,000
square miles contain a population of
600,000 persons, 85,000 of whom are
white.—Julian Hawth orne in Century.
How Sbo Dieted.

Maccabees, told the following story:
“The fat girl of 0., gentlemen, is not
a myth, new a show person, but a solid,
private reality that I have seen. Hei
fatness weighed upon her; so she went
to a physician to be rid of some of it.
Ho drew np a careful dietary. She was
to eat dry toast, plain boiled beef, etc.,
and to return in a month to report re¬
duction. At the end of the month she
could hardly get through the doctor’s
doorway. He was aghast. ‘Did you eai
what I told you?’ he asked. ‘Religious¬
ly. ’ His brow wrinkled itself. Sudden¬
ly be had a flash of inspiration. ‘Any¬
thing else?’ he asked. ‘My ordinary
