"On the other hand, the slits and

105th birthday. His immediate fam

children and great-grandchildren, as-

“I'm not behind the times because

CHICAGO. Dec. 6.—There is in this
* city to-day a man to whom the world
I is indin « tl\ indebted for Lincoln s
I Gettysburg address 50 years ago.
Colonel Clark E. Carr, of Galesburg,
is the man. He sat directly hehi.id
Air Lincoln while the President de
livered the address. Colonel Carr wis
the man who insisted that Mr. Lin
coln' he invited to speak, when other
members of the arrangements com
mittee wen* trying to decide on an
other orator.
“i was u young man then, only 27
years old. and was living at Gales
burg. Governor Richard Yates hon
ored me by appointing me colonel on
iiis personal stuff. Lincoln asked the
Governors of all the loyal States to
appoint one person to be a member of
the Gettysburg Cemetery Commis
sion. The Governor apopinted me.
“I was the youngest member of the
commission that met on the battle
field shortly after the battle to gather
the dead. They had been buried wher
ever they fell in the battle, and were
scattered over a radius of several
miles.
"It was our duty to collect th* 1
bodies and rebury them in divisions
according to States. I found six
brave men to bury in the Illinois di
vision.
"Well, after we collected the dead
the commission concluded that the
around ought to be appropriately con
secrated. We invited to be present
on this occasion the President and ms
Cabinet, foreign diplomats and prom
inent army and navy officers.
“As a speaker the committee de
cided upon Edward Everett, then the
greatest American orator.
“ What's the matter with having
President Lincoln talk?’ I suggest <1.
“Lincoln*hadn't struck them as the
right speaker for this occasion. They
admitted lie was a great political
speaker—the dfebates with Douglas
were classic, they conceded—but
something different from a political
speecli was wanted for this occasion.
“Well, they finally yielded to rny l n-
sistence and the President was invited
to speak—only two weeks before th'?
services. Mr. Everett, however, made
the big address of the day.
“Lincolns speech that day was a
disappointment to the commissioners.
It was so short that they wondered at
Its early conclusion. It was not until
they read it in newspapers afterward
that they Realized what a classic It
was.”
TRADES BABE FOR CHICKS.
KANSAS CITY. Dec. 6.—How a moth

Fall Cures His Knee
When Surgeons Fail
SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 6.—Al
though an injury to his knee was pro
nounced Incurable by twenty surgeons.
J. F. McKinney, Deputy County Record
er, cured it by falling out of a tree.
McKinney suffered the fall a week
ago and was taken to a hospital. He
left that institution able to walk natur
ally for the first time since both legs
were broken in a train wreck at Colton,
six years ago

! looked the fact that his kneecap was
[ merely dislocated. His recent fall

Studies Pharmacy
As He Serves Time
LAWRENCE, WANS , Dec. 6. Every
night in a cell at the penitentiary at
Lansing a convict turns the pages of a
book entitled “Introductory Pharmacy’’
with hard, rough hands which have
spent a long, weary day mining coal.
For one and a half years this pris
oner has spent his spare time mastering
the principles of pharmacy, according
to instructions sent him each week by
the Extension Department of the Uni
versity of Kansas. He has just finished
the first part of his course and by the
time his first term is served he will be
able to go out into the world and take
id, responsible position.
Tango in Schools
Is Declared Legal
OLYMPIPA, WASH., Dec. 6.--After
nearly twelve years, during which dan
cing in public school buildings has been
forbidden rigidly, Attorney General Tan
ner. in an official opinion rendered,
throws the bars down to devotees of
the tango, as well as the more con
servative forms of the terpsichorean art
Dancing is a form of recreation, the
Attorney General holds, and since the
“social center’- law of 1913 throws the
schools open at night for study, im
provement and recreation, it follows, he
says, that school dancing is strictly
legal.
ATHENS, Dec. 6.—Professor Alfred
Akerman, head of the department of
forestry of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture, has returned from
North Georgia, where he has been ad
dressing meetings of citizens in three
of the mountain counties about the
importance of prote< Ing the forests
from fires in the fall.
At the time of the meetings the
atmosphere was -pungent with odors
of burning leaves, smoke hung like a
pall over all the mountain country,
and the nights were lit up by fires
that consumed the leaves and under
brush of the forest areas.
The heavy rains of the early part
of the week quenched the fires, and
the damage which the fires will do
this year*s over. At least it is ex
pected that there will not be any
more important outbreaks.
Professor Akerman told the moun
tain people of the great losses which
they were suffering each year from
carelessly setting leaves on fire.
Young sprouting trees are destroyed,
shrubs and well started young trees
ale either completely destroyed or are
done irreparable harm; the litter and
humus of the ' i’-gin soil is so dam
aged as to cut off a part of the fu
ture food supply of the forests, while
even the large trees are checked In
their growth and their value as lum
ber depreciated by the ground fires.
The people who attended the meet-
irys expressed a determination to
exercise greater care and to see to
it that the careless who do start
such fires are taught a lesson.
“Enlarged Act” Throws Non-
Irrigable Sections Open for
Settlement.
WASHINGTON. .Dec. 1.—The 320-
acre homestead law, or, as it is often
called, the enlarged homestead law,
has made possible the entry of many
million acres of dr>' land in the Wes'
ern States in tracts double the si z »
allowed under the original homestead
Only land which has been “desia.
nated” by the secretary of the Inte
rior as "non-irrigable” can be entered
under this act. More than 200,000 non
acres have been thus designated but
petitions and sworn statements re
questing further designations ;lr .
constantly being received.
in an interview Just given out Sec.
rotary Lane calls attention to the fact
that there appears to be considerable
misunderstanding among Western
homesteaders as to the procedure nee.
e.-sary in order that enlarged hom...
stead designations may be made.
The Secretary states that only th*
simplest and most direct action bv
the settler is required, and that it is
wholly unnecessary for him to incur
the charges now made by attorneys
who draw up formal petitions tiuj
are in fact no more effective than th*
homesteader's own letter would be.
