Miss Norms Talmndae has a rolej
which is admirably adapted to bring
out the many talents of this popular
1 young film star .In “Tha Woman
' Gives,” which Is at the Oi iisetim for
! the last time tonight. She plays the
1 role of Inga Sender sun, who risks
| h-Lppinef's to repay iti .full a debt of
! gratitude she owes lor her start to
success as a inagntdln» artist. The re
l sailt o? this course .and the circuni
ances which lead to the happy con
? I elusion make ouo of the most euici

ij Of all the emotions gratitude is
I probably the weakest, and when it Is'
i struggle between Jealousy and grati
tude the winner is easy to select.
Hie fact that Kobcrt Milton ran true
to Bonn and quarreled with Inga
Son lers n over her method ot re
laying She debt of gratitude they both
awe Daniel Gart'ord furnishes the
basis or the story.
Bob is a splendid typo of man but
an is unable to stand the sight of his
promised bride devoting herself to
me her man n drug fiend. How
inga, played by .Miss Talm.tlge, in
sdsts ion paying her debt regardless

Priceless Letters Recently
1 Uncovered by Martyr’s
Love of Fellow Men.
A BRAHAM LINCOLN, the Man
of Mercy, was born 113 yeara
ago today.
On a frontier farm that was
little more than a clearing in the
primeval wilderness of Hardin
County, Kentucky, he made his
obscure entry into life.
Had a soothsayer made a pil
grimage to the rude cabin that
day, viewed its poverty and isola
tion, or spoken to the shiftless,
illiterate father, he could have
found nothing that foretold the
man who was to steady a totter
ing nation’s destinies—the giant
in spiritual power who was to wage
to victory the bitterest war of our
history and still be acclaimed the
Man of Mercy. The seer could
have done no more than speculate
vaguely on the “perfect number
seven'* present in the letters of
his given and family names.
Documents Newly Revealed
It is Lincoln, the Man of Mercy,
that is particularly revealed in the
group of almost priceless docu
ments recently collected by G.
Lynn Sumner for the library of
the International Correspondence
Schools. All of them are of great
value and interest. One is wholly
unique. For it preserves in one
nsMiuscript a plea for a soldier
foond asleep on his post; a brief
endorsement by Senator Charles
of Massachusetts, and
y a paragraph by Lincoln him
in which Lincoln
saved a guiltless man from execu
tion, and as such is characteristic.
George C. Alden, of Company
K, Seventh Massachusetts Regu
lars, had fallen asleep on his post.
His offense was to be punished by
the most disgraceful death a sol
dier may die. The fact that he
was subject to fits of a sleeping
sickness against which he was
powerless to struggle found no
place for consideration in the
crude, summary justice of the
field. He was asleep on his post,
and the sequel was death.
Lincoln Saves Gutltleis Man
As he awaited the execution of
a Court Martial’s decree, Samuel
Breck, a friend and fellow towns
man, heard of his plight. In a let
ter to Sumner, he set all the facts
before him. Sumner’s endorse
ment on the back of the letter, by
which it was referred to his Com
mander-in-Chief, is as follows:
“I ask attention to this lettei
from an estimable citizen hoping
that proceedings should be delayed
against George C. Alden, Co. K
Seventh Mass., for sleeping at hu
post.
“CHARLES SUMNER.’*
Than follows Lincoln’s respits
“I know nothing of this ease—
know not where Mr. Alden is—
whether any proceedings are on
foot against him — I should not
knowingly let him be punished, if
shown he has the infirmity stated
in the affidavit, though the infirm
ity may be sufficient reason for
dismissing him from the service.
"A. LINCOLN'.
“May 21, 1862.”
Although the saving of the
Union never drew upon the time
and energy of Lincoln more than
in the dark days of ’62, he found
time to pen with his own hand an
opinion that placed human values
above an inflexible discipline.
Letter* Show Kindly Heart
In the collection at the Scranton
institution are scores of original
documents concerning Lincoln his
Cabinet and his Generals. Where
L
Lincoln »vei life of deepinff (entry.
original documents cannot be ob
tained there are faithful replica'.
Virtually all of them reflect the
great, kindly heart of the martyr.

when they came to the White
House it was to beg furloughs to ,

“Sec. of War, Please see thlg
Pittsburg boy. He is very young,
and I shall be satisfied with what*
ever you do with him. J
“A. LINCOLN, . j
« Aug. 21, 1863.”
The "Pittsburgh boy” had en
listed at seventeen. He had long
been ill with a fever and wanted
furlough. With the confidence
every soldier had that Lincoln
would help him, he slipped into
the White House, by chance meg
the President and told his story, j
One day Lincoln was stopped fx<
park by a negro with a pitiful
story. The Emancipator did not
stop to get his name but handed
him a hastily written check drawn
to the order of “colored man with
one leg.” Riggs A Company, of
Washington, with whom the Presl-.’
dent banked, knew their customs* 1
and honored the unusual inatnpJ
ment.

straightway make him fi demigod
