Miss Mary Lea Davis: I think one of the best and most useful gifts for a wife to give her husband on Christmas is a pock- etbook containing as much mon ey as she can carefully save up.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—There is in this ity to-day a. man to whom the world | in indirectly indebted for Lincoln s Gettysburg address 50 years ago. Colonel (hark E. Carr, of Galesburg, Is the man. He sat directly behind Mr. Lincoln while the President de livered the address. Colonel Carr was the man who Insisted that Mr. Lin coln be Invited to speak when other members of the arrangements com- | mlttee were trying to decide on an- ' other orator. "I was a young man then, only 27 years old, and was living at Galfs- burg. Governor Richard Yates hon ored me by appointing me colonel on his personal staff. Lincoln asked ’he Governors of all the loyal States to appoint one person to be a member of the Gettysburg Cemetery Commis sion. The Governor apopinted me. "1 was the youngest member of the commission that met on the battle field shortly after the battle to gather the dead. They had been burled wher ever they fell in the battle, and were scattered over a radius of several miles. ‘‘It was our duty to collect the bodies and rebury them in divisions according to States. I found six brave men to bury in the Illinois di vision. "Well, after w r e collected the dead the commission concluded that the rround ought to be appropriately con secrated. We Invited to he present on this occasion the President and ni* 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?’ T suggested. "Lincoln hadn’t struck them as the right speaker for this occasion. They admitted he was a great political speaker—the debates with Douglas were cla.s» ; c, they conceded—-but something different from a political speech was wanted for this occasion. "Well, they finally yielded to my In sistence and the President was Invited to speak—only two w’eeks before the services. Mr. Everett, however, made the big address of the day. "Lincoln’s 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.” HAMMOND, IND.
