Biz weeks after hla election South Carolina had passed its ordinance of secession. During tha nest month Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida had followed the Palmetto states lead. On February 4 representatives from these states had met at llontgomery. Ala and organised the "Confederate States of America. Five more, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas were almost certain to Join the sis that had already departed from the Union. The future course of three "border states, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, as well as the northern slave state of Delaware, was doubtful. And always In. the background loomed the threat of a fratricidal war between the North and the South. So much depended upon what he said and how he said It that he bad tolled, night and day, for three weeks over his inaugural address. "He wrote It as a composer writes a symphony, says Don Glassman in the Washington Star. "He marshaled all the melody la words, all the rhythm of speech and euphony of language to build a monument out of cold syllables He weighed every one on a musical scale. He employed them as fall notes and half notes. He would pronounce eech word eepsrately and fed convinced of Its necessity both as to thought and style. By the time be finished a sentence ft would harbor no contradictory thought or costae note. The words were riveted together, so that to strike out an adjective or syllable would upset the thought and leave a gaping hole fa the sentence." Bver since his election, his mall had been tall Some of letters hearing southern postamtk ware signed with the names and addresses of tho senders; others were anonymous.

It was hard for him to believe that anyone should desire hla death. But conviction came at last Mors disturbing, though, were the rumors of men hi high places who were about to turn traitor to their country and who might have guilty knowledge of plans for reducing It to a state of anarchy. So he sent the adjutant-generof Dllnols to Washington to sound out Gen. Winfield Scott, head of the army. Scott waa a Virginian and his loyalty was suspected. Back came the reply from that doughty old lighter: "Tell Mr. Lincoln that If necessary, I'll plant cannon at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue, and If any show their heads or even venture to raise a Anger, IT! blow 'em to hell I But not even such reassurance could bring peace to Lincoln's troubled mind. As the train bore him nearer and nearer to the capital and to the day when he would take the oath of hla despair deepened. "To the anxious, listening country hla speeches on the Journey to Washington were disappointing, writes Nathaniel W. Stephenson In "The Chronicles of America. "Perhaps hla strangely saltire mind felt too powerfully the foteful-s- e of the moment and reacted with a sort of lightness that did not really represent tha real Arriving In Philadelphia he waa Informed that u Allan Pinkerton's Secret Service men bad d table evidence of a plot to alnate him.

Beyond that I have no engagements. After the Harrisburg riceptlos a special train consisting of a locomotive, baggage ear and coach sped back to Philadelphia.

Thus Abraham Lincoln came to Washington. enNever before nor since has a President-elec- t tered the nation's capital to assume the duties of his high office under such circumstances. The next eight days were a nightmare of perof sistent annoyance by a borde of rumors of disasters that were about to befall, of threats, of sneers, of countless Indignities. March 4 dawned a blue Monday. It bad been raining. Pennsylvania avenue was a broad highway of spattery mud. Silence hung heavy over the crowd massed arennd the Willard hotel Linas President Buchanan and President-elec- t coln entered an open barouche and started up the avenue toward the Capitol. Sharpshooters with orders to stationed on the house-top- s the avenue with their lire if there wae any uprising. In the side streets troops were reedy for action. Other detachments stationed beside the Capitol stepe and the north entrance a battery of artillery was ready to unleash a blast of death If need be.

When real hard outdoor work la being done the amount of meat, eggs and fish should be Increased. What about the overweight Individual who, of course, does little or no work of any kind? Instead of eating two parts of tat foods to one part of protelda he or she could cut down the fat foods by half and also cut down the starch foods by half. Cutting Down Fat Foods; on This cutting down by tat foods can be done safely by overweights for the same reason that animals can do without any food at certain times; that la because the body processes can make use of the stored fat for their varl-, one-ha- lf -- The point then la that with the of knowledge now In possession overweights there is no reason why every one of them (except the 2 to 5 per cent whose overweight is due to a gland disturbance) should not get down to normal weight In from three to twelve months; I have seen a girl weighing 180 pounds get her weight down to ISO pounds in three months Jiy cutting down her her tats by one-halliquids by one-haland her starches hr keeping up, however, her full amount of meat, egg and fish.
