OVERCOME Lincoln 's lie markdble Intellect We $ i i ! By George L. Knapp F we put aside the popular .preconceptions of Lincoln, and. look Instead at the recorded facts, we shall find evidence of his remarkable Intellect at every stage of his adult career. In his youth. Indeed, he had the misty vagaries proper to youth and like so many great men, he came to maturity late. But from the time that he entered seriously on his Mfe work, his mentU powers were held In high, almost reverent regard by all who were close to him. In one sense, he was not & ret lawver. Ha lacked the broad education, to begin with; and he lacked even more the soldler-of-fortune conscience that enables a man to fight on one side as well as on another. In a bad cause as well as in a good one. Lincoln's Intellect was too keeD, too cold, too accural, to toler ate quibble or evasions; he hated crooked reasoning quite as virulently as crooked dealing. But when he believed In his case, he could state that case In a way which made argument almost needless; and he had that sure and certain mark of genius, th.e ability to brush aside non-essentials and seise at once on the central, vital issue. And yet in the struggles of politics, the work which he really loved, the same qualities show out in yet higher relief. Seldom If ever was there a more consummate politician than Abraham Lincoln. The aim of his early political life was to save the Union. If Lincoln ever made a wrong move to gain his goal, history has failed to record it. When he put his famous ques. tlon to Couglas, as to the possibility of excluding slavery from the territories, his friends thought he had thrown away his own future and ,that of his party. Lincoln knew better. He was trying, not to keep Douglas from the Senate, but to keep him from the White House. He could see already that the crlsll of the struggle would come, not in 1858, but in 18C0. He offered the gambit, and Douglas accepted It to find himself checkmated two moves later.

A Man In m ty IV. T. Child kAjn MAN was in a hurry. He acted like rt. Me squeezes uu I IT I pushed and shoved through the crowded side of the street I I as if something of the greatest importance depended upon his haste. It never occurred to him that 1 could make more progress on the othar side of the street, which was not so crowded, or that he would be less Impeded on another parallel street Now and then he would be heard to say "Excuse me!" or "I beg your pardon!" but he was not heard to make sucn a remark when he roughly brushed against some child. He was said to be very polite, but his politeness seemed to be toward some certain few, not to ward everybody. But he was in a hurry, and of course he thought his haste excused a multitude of his sins of omission. He thought the old colored woman, whom he pustied to one side, had no business on the street when people were in a hurry when he was in a hurry. He did not know that this old colored woman was making as much haste as she possibly could, to summon a doctor to attend her sick mistress. Of course. If he had known this, he would not have acted so selfishly. Indeed, it is doubtful if he saw the little girl whom he almost knocked down. If he had, he certainly would have begged her pardon. To be sure, he did not know that she was a cash girl in one of the department stores and that she was so tired that she co;ld hardly stand upon her feet. The blind beggar who stopped him and begged a penny got only a rebuke, because he was in a hurry. "Haven't got time!" he gruffly said to the poor fellow. When he finally reached home, he even forgot to greet his wife with his customary kiss; he was In a hurry. And why was he in such a hurry? Hf had an engagement to attend the theatre that evening with several friends. It is a good thing that everybody is not in a hurry. MUM San Francisco.

Pittsburg Had Frank Klaus, Bast Pittsburg's crack middleweight, Instat ed upon fighting straight rules Friday when he faced Hugo Kelly, of Chica go, at the Bijou theater, he would surely have gotten a draw with the Italian, but as it was, he consented to break clean, the result being that the local boy was outpointed and took a worse beating than he handed his op ponent in their six-round contest. Just what led George Engel, who is Klaus manager, to agree to clean breaks was more than anyone could fathom. but It undoubtedly was a big mistake on his part Klaus never before fought at that style and was entirely lost. Everyone uresent could see that It was new to the local fighter, as he forgot himself on many occasions and hit In clinches. Kelly, however, was right at borne, and landed rights and lefts in quick succession to Klaus' face and body. As early as the first round he had the East Pittsburg boy's nose bleedinn from continual tabbing, and in tn fifth cut his led eye open with a haru right A few seconds later, Klaus caught Kelly on the right eye, ' 1' 'k!r ' .fl 'If "J Cartoon by a a ttacauley, In the New York World. NOTCH EDUCATOR URGES COLLEGE GIRLS TO FLIRT. Adds Spice to Study, Professor Palmer, of Harrard, ThInks-GI?es Proner a tit . . 1 Aiiowieuyc ui auuai uie warns Kaaciine whs too Much Time Glren Up to Books Host Be Made Up by Hard Flirting Afterward Boston. Mass. Professor George Herbert Palmer, of Harvard, sixty seven years old, twice wed and re call- . . . Why Woman Lies . . . JPv Marcel Preoost in Paris Fisraro E XCEPT when In love, man lb much less given to lying than his long-haired companion. There is good reason for this. Primeval man, who controlled woman by the right of the conqueror, or, at least, the stronger, had no need for lvinr fn maka life nleasant for himself rj he Saw At V. J I Woman, on the other hand, was a slave, using her In I telllgence In slave fashion that Is, as a rank egoist. Her ' ' prime object in life was to please her lord, to work as little as possible, to avoid punishment, to fool her master and to conceal from him. everything that might possibly result In annoyance to her elf. So the wife-slave of old developed into a most accomplished liar. It would be foolish to deny that woman's status has changed since then, at least among civilized peoples. But there are still many laws on the statute books compelling women to use deception and lying In self-defense. If man did not use his physical and legal muscles against woman, woman would be more honest. She might even in time forget how to. lie. Most ol the lies women tell ought to be credited In the Book of Judgment' to man's account. It goes without saying that long-continued experience 1. e., the heredltj of lying, so to speak has made woman an expert prevaricator. Man Is a robust liar only. Listen to the man liar's statements In any court of Justlca For the most part they are ridiculous, utterly absurd. And worse still, when a man liar is found out as he must be foand out he utterly goes to pieoes. Of course, men encourage woman's lying. The man who la caught In a lie loses caste, Is kicked out of his club, while few. If any, men find aeriouf fault with woman's fibs.

Is not only advisable, but even imperative, for the average col lege boy and girl. "Flirting Is the surest road toward the proper knowledge, of social life," says the professor, who has the dis tinction of being the oldest member of the . Harvard faculty, and whose second wife, Alice Freeman Palmer, was president of Wellesley College from 1881 to 1887. "I think the girls of Radcliffe and the boys of Harvard devote too much of their time to study. They actually bury themselves In their books, and the result is that when they get through college they don't know a thing about; social life. They should mingle a little frivol ity with their studies in other words, they should flirt a little. Were I to advise the boys of Harvard or the girls of Radcliffe, I would tell them to go around and see things more than they do. , ; I am always reminded of a girl graduate of Radcliffe, who studied so hard that she got the reputation of being over-studious. She never went anywhere. While the other girls were having a good time she malned in her room studying, was graduated with hleh honnr' when I was bidding her good-bye tj torn ner that she had a task before her. 1 she re-i I. She rs,N and; "She thought I would say some-, thing in regard to work, but, contrary, to her anticipations, I told her that? she would have to flirt good and hard; to make up for lost time, and she Bald that she would. i "Of course, it makes a good deal ot difference who does the flirting, where and with whom. The time, the place and the boy and girl have a good deal to do with it. If all could see the tlred-out boys and girls that I see, alt would, I know, admit that a' little bit of flirting now and then would be a real vacation for them. "I have three lectures a week at Radcliffe, and it la surprising how many young girls are letting the very best part ot their Uvea go by without having the . least bit of enlovment. There are many boys here at Harvard! who do not know what social life, means. They study from the time they enter school until they graduate.' ""Of course, there are some who do' nothing but fool away their time; I do not mean to say that that Is what I uphold, for It is not What I mean Is to mix things up a bit, sprinkle s little flirting Into the studies. One can have a little of both and still come out all right at the end." RADCLIFFE GIRLS ARE FORBIDDEN TO FLIRT Dcaa Cole Wssl Dlseass Processor Palmer's Advice.

During the next five rounds honors were about even with Cross using straight rights and lefts and Hyland, occasionally landing hard swings. Hy land planted two hard lefts in Cross" stomach, but the Easterner, by fast and clever footwork, managed to avoid Umany of his opponent's leads. The end of the flfteenth round saw Cross worried and Hyland decidedly In the lead for the first time during the flght. The twelfth, after a sav ave assault In which Hyland look con siderable punishment, Cross went to the floor for three seconds under a straight right. Hyland's face was badly damaged, but he 'was landing, damaging punches at every oppor tunity. ' In the twenty-flrBt round a left up percut to the jaw sent Cross to the floor, but only for an dnstant. Round after round Cross kept backing away, trying to force Hyland to cover. But Hyland, always foxy, never gave the .opening- Cross was looking for. In the twenty-third round Hyland swung two punishing lefts to the Jaw. In the next round Cross, still going away, dazed the Callfornlan with 1 a right chop on the 'jaw. Round twenty five was' a rapid" exchange of vlolous blows, with Cross somewhat distress ed. In the fortieth- Hyland pushed ills clinging opponent away, and Cross surprised the spectators by swinging two hard lefts to the Jaw. In the forty-first Cross came up fighting, but was sent to the ropes with a hard right to the Jaw. ' He dropped to the floor, .and remained for th count of nine. He "again suujterpd to the ren ter of the ring and" Hyland finding the Jaw apparently -.an invulnerable point, suddenly changed his tactics, and sent a terrific right In Cross' stomach. '' He dropped to the mat al most Ufeless and was counted out. In the twenty-sixth Cross was floor ed by a left to the Jaw and took the count of nine-He appeared half beat en ana was punished unmercifully be fore the gong saved him. , , Weetent Girl Wins.

Frank was not only handicapped at the Btrange style of fighting, but he still showed the effects of his Illness which had caused the battle to be postponed until last night, the original date being last Wednesday. When he entered the ring he was extreme ly pale, and could harly speak owing to a sore throat Kelly was not only much taller than Klaus, but appeared to have a few pounds the better In weight His height combined with his cleverness, enabled him to carry off the honors or the evening. Klaus would sail In with head down and attempt to plant right and ieft to Kelly's head, but nearly every Ime the Windy City mltt-wlelder would step back and uppercut with both bands. While his blows cut Klaus a good deal they never slowed him up and every second of the six rounds the local artist was forcing the fighting, not even breaking ground when Kelly would start a rally, which he did on more than one occasion. Kelly showed that he did not hold Klaus cheaply and fought a careful battle throughout, timing nearly every blow and watching every movement of his opponent " 7 Jt was not until the third round that the two got going right, the first and second being taken up in feeling each other out. The second round did not . Improve matters much, but when the third started those who had been mak ing a noise were quickly silenced, as both sailed into each tW with tV Intention of ending it as shortly as possible. Kelly's best blows were right and left uppercuts, but Klaus' defense was so strong that many fail ed to go home and those that did hit their mark failed to do any damage to the rugged "East Plttsburger. . Klaus used his right to advantage and more than ones Jolted Hugo with a hard one to the head. Kelly's stom ach was not any too strong and" when Klaus would send In a left or right to that part of his) anatomy, the visitor would take on a distressed look. -. Owing to the ' rules under which they fought, however, Klaus was un able to follow op his advantage and would have to step back Immediately. In order to get a line on Klaus' abil ity with a topnotcher in his class, a large crowd turned out to witness the show, which was. held under the man agement of Billy Corcoran, the wen known flght promoter of the Middle West. Corcoran arranged a number of good preliminary bouts, and as a whole the entire mill was one to add, credit to the management Boston, Mass. "Flirt by all means. A little flirting now and then Is good for one, and if done in the proper way Is absolutely harmless" advice ot Professor George Herbert Palmer to Radcliffe girls. Miss Coles, the dean of Radcliffe, was asked her opinion of this advice from the oldest member ot the Har vard faculty. "Ob. I can't discuss it I can't talk about It at alL" Sitting near by was a pretty stu dent, and the reporter raised his hat to her. -The girl smiled and the T.oung man queried: "What do you think about a little flirting now and then?" - "Well, I don't know. I have been thinking" That is far as the girl got when the dean swooped down on the coupte. "Here, this Is not right. Tou must not talk to the girls here. I cannot allow it," she said, excitedly. "Then you do not believe Professor Palmer Is that it?" asked the re porter. "Ton know I was Just trying: his advice." "Well, I don't say I Believe it or I don't believe it, but you must not talk to our girls." KILLS SELF WHEN CALLED A FLIRT.
