VV'e all have to form our own characters. They are not given us, and we have to develop them to suit ourselves. Lin- coln had to form his character, and he based it on sense, cour- age, and truth. Wfe should base ours on these principles, in order to make ourselves most fit for the world, and the things we must do. If everyone were like Lincoln, his greatness would dis- appear. Everyone cannot be like Lincoln, so he remains un- equaled and unparalleled, while we struggle to obtain his greatness. The road to greatness is peculiar. For example, the statesman Cecil Rhodes when a boy had consumption. He went to Afrfca where he made a large fortune in diamonds. He pushed the British boundaries far into that continent. When he died he was buried on a hill in Africa, and now stu- dents, travelers, and all kinds of people visit his grave and remember his greatness. Lincoln's character began to grow while he was reading the few books he could get hold of. He lived in a time when people made their own opinions regardless of anyone else. Lincoln's opinions had purity, straightness, and some thought of the other fellow in them. All his actions and opinions were in the light, nothing that he did was hidden from the people. lf the countries of Turkey, Russia, Italy, Germany, and Japan l'ad these methods, there would be no fear of what they would do next. If the world had Lincolnis stability of purpose there wouldn't be any war debts or Arms Conferences. If the world had Lincoln's straightness and unselfishness, there would be no jealousy between the countries. H I Lincoln gave to the world a sweep of universal policy. All people were his brothers, the Northerners, the Southern- ers and negroes. We should have a universal policy. The success of the countries of Europe and other continents is our success. their failure, our failure. Qur attention to the VVorld Court should be one of diplomacy and association, but not

The downfall of snow that had lasted all day was turning to rain, and the icy pavements made walking very difficult. The lights glimmered through the darkness and together with the rain and mist presented a scene almost terrifying. It was the time in the afternoon when the theatre crowds were dispersing. They vvove their Way hurriedly homexvard, blinded by the rainy snow. In the hurry of getting to their homes, no one noticed the wee slip of a girl who pushed her Way in the opposite direction, through the mass of pedestrians. That is, no one but Jimmy Hogan, noticed her. Jimmy was the policeman, who for fifteen faithful years had paced his beat from Fifth Street to the bridge. He saw her now vvending her way in and out among the throngs. At times there seemed danger that she would be trampled to the wet pavement. Bravely she elbowed her way along until at last she left the city behind and hastened toward the bridge. She was attired in a slicker, the right side of which bulged out. As she proceeded down the street the bulge changed to the left. jimmy followed, keeping far enough behind in order that he might not attract attention. She turned a corner. By hastening his steps it was not long be- fore .Iimmy again caught sight of her. This time he saw no perceivable bulge, but under her arm she carried a large bundle-large for a person so small. She turned another corner and before Jimmy could again regain sight of her, she was on the bridge, gazing down into the black waters. She was resting her parcel on the rail- ing as if trying to decide whether she was doing the correct thing. As Jimmy came in sight she raised it high above her head and flung it far out into the foaming waters. It was done! At last she was rid of the one hateful thing in her life! How she hated it! How many uncomfortable hours had she spent with that thing! She felt now as though life was Worth living! She started to run, she must get home before her husband got there! She glanced around and savv Jimmy about to dive off the bridge into the icy Waters. Should she yell? No! This was her affair, not his! She hastened on. She turned corner after corner, and at last she fairly flung herself against the door of her home nearly exhausted. The door was opened by her better half who shouted far too loudly from within. Great Heavens! VVoman, where's my saxaphone? It's gone ! RU'l'IrI W. PETERSON, ,272
