he led this country through tho hell of fraternal strife. And

"Honest old U>e" he was when, lying dead with C.od s

peaceful smile on his rugged face, a great nation dropped its

tears into his grave.

Honesty is the quality that makes the world hold in rev-

teach us.Honesty is the virtue for the lack of which we arc gutter-
