PAGE 1 <br> <br> <br> FROM THE CHICAGO EXAMINER FEBRUARY THIRTEENTH 1909 <br> <br> <br> SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Feb. 12. - Abraham Lincoln’s old home gave ample evidence to-day that his memory is kept green. The city where he lived the better years of his life, where he worked and laid by that store of wisdom that was to serve the country in its need, paid a tribute to the life of its foremost citizen that was worthy of the hundredth anniversary of that great citizen’s birth. <br> <br> <br> It was an international celebration of the Lincoln centennial that Springfield carried out. Three great natious joined in doing honor to a great name - France, England and Lincoln’s own country, the United States. And it would be hard to say whether it was Ambassador Jusserand of France, Ambassador Bryce of England or Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver or William J. Bryan of America who awarded the great President the highest seat in the hall of fame. <br> <br> <br> “When Lincoln was born,” said Jusserand. “Napoleon first swayed Europe and Jefferson was President, but the memory of that great [not legible] we try to honor is as fresh as though he had just left us.” <br> <br> <br> Ambassador Bryce’s Tribute. <br> <br> <br> “The memory of Lincoln will live and endure among you, gathering reverence from age to age, the memory of one who saved your republic by his wisdom, his constancy, his faith in the people and in freedom,” was the tribute of Ambassador Bryce. <br> <br> <br> “The eloquence of Cicero and of Demosthenes was no more necessary to their work than Lincoln’s eloquence was to his work, and he deserves to have his name written on the scroll with theirs,” said Mr. Bryan. <br> <br> <br> Springfield gave the entire day to doing honor to Lincoln’s name. Indeed, one day was not sufficient, and the ceremonies that were begun Thursday morning lapped over into Friday. <br> <br> <br> Entire Day Occupied. <br> <br> <br> PAGE 2 <br> <br> <br> Menu <br> <br> <br> COTUITS <br> <br> <br> MARTINI COCKTAILS <br> <br> <br> MOCK TURTLE, AMERICAN <br> CELERY <br> RADISHES <br> QUEEN OLIVES <br> SALTED ALMONDS <br> MEDAILLON OF RAINBOW BROOK TROUT, ILLINOIS <br> <br> <br> HAUT SAUTERNE <br> <br> <br> TENDERLOIN OF BEEF, SANGAMON <br> ANNA POTATOES <br> FRENCH PEAS <br> <br> <br> POMARD <br> <br> <br> LOG CABIN PUNCH <br> BREAST OF ENGLISH PHEASANT ON SPLIT RAILS <br> COMPOTE OF FRUIT <br> <br> <br> POMMERY, SEC <br> <br> <br> LETTUCE, FRENCH ENDIVE AND WALNUT SALAD <br> GLACES VARIES <br> PETIT FOURS <br> CELERY FILLED WITH CREAM ROQUEFORT CHEESE <br> SOFT TOASTED CRACKERS <br> <br> <br> CORDIALS <br> <br> <br> COFFEE <br> <br> <br> BY THE RICHELIEU CATERING CO., CHICAGO <br>
