The loom of April just passed has fashioned the life of one of America's greatest characters. It has also snapped the thread and ended the weaving. So is recorded of Abraham Lincoln, who laid down his unfinished work in April fifty-nine years ago. The London Punch, that for years had ridiculed 'him, after his death reacted to outspoken praise in a poem that has become a classic: "The Old World and the New, from sea to sea, Utters one voice of sympathy and shame!

And with the martyr's crown crownest a life With much to praise, little to be forgiven!" Lincoln's life is an enigma. His biographers disagree in portraying his characteristicss. He is described by the very opposites. When John Gilbert Holland went to Springfield in search of material for his "Life" he met with such contradictory statements from those who had known him that there seemed to be two Lincolns in place of one. Perhaps there were two Lincolns This may have been the secret of his power. The man who could jest over the most sacred things of life—could shut himself in his room alone for an hour after he had pardoned a soldier boy on the appeal of his mother; the man who could open the Cabinet session, called to hear the decision on freeing the slaves, by reading a chapter from "Artemus Ward: His Book," could also spend half a night in prayer with Henry Ward Beecher. The man who could be called a "damn fool"- by one of his Cabinet members, and walk into his office and "quietly talk things over" until that Cabinet officer was on his knees in admiration and respect. Was Abraham Lincoln a product of heredity or environment? Undoubtedly of both. Lincoln once told Herndon, speaking of his mother, that "she was highly intellectual by nature, had a strong memory, acute judgment, and was cool and heroic." Then he. "argued that from this source came his power of anaylsis, his logic, his mental activity, his ambition, and all the qualities that distinguished him from the other members and descendants of the Hanks family." So much for heredity. His stepmother was responsible for the environment She entered the family when the boy was at the most critical time in his life. Influence would have turned him either way. She "mothered" him, showed him a real heart of love, saw his mind hunger and persuaded his father to "let him have books," encouraged him after the day's hard work. Had it not been for her difficulties would many a time have overcome him. When we think of Lincoln there are always two women by his side, both with the unconquerable spirit of the frontier—his mother and his stepmother. They made him what manner of man he was. It is a pity his wife was not a third, but she was of another world. He was of the log cabin, she of the stately home; and logs and tapestries do not easily blend All the way from the forest to the White House an invisible force was making him fit for each advance. What might Lincoln have become had he made other choices than he did? What might have been? Take, for example, this one incident: Suppose Lincoln had accepted the governorship of the newly set aside territory of Oregon. It was offered him, and in that day was a "big position." He declined.. Had he accepted in all human probability his career would have ended there. "There's a divinity that shapes our ends." He was shaped—'heroic. He was shaped—individual His education came in the "single" method. A college would have changed him into "one of the'many." Nothing came easy; he worked and fought and suffered and died for all he gained. He executed the deed that made us a united nation, but he wrote it with his own life's blood. (From the Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian.) Reports from the West are that this year's crop of wheat in Kansas and adjacent States will be one of the largest on record, though the prospect of higher prices is not included in the forecast. The foreign market for American cereals of all varieties continues to shrink, an ddomestic prices are lower than at the same season of 1923. Comparisons of prices in Chicago on April 13, 1923, with those of the same date this year reveal the extent to which the principal cereals have declined. The closing quotation on wheat in Chicago on April 13, 1924, was $1.02 % a bushel as against $1.26 y2 on the corresponding date of 1923. The prices of other grains on the respective dates were: Corn 80% cents, and 77V2 cents; oats, (September) 45% cts., and 40% cents; rye, 87% cents, and 65% cents. While relatively little of last year's crop of wheat remains in the farmer's keeping, these prices are significant as reflecting the curtailment of his foreign market. The harvesting of a big crop this year would mean for him not prosperity but prices below the cost of production. TREASURY OF PATRON'S CLUB IN DEPLORABLE SHAPE.
