LINCOLN MEMORIAL
COMPLETED. 

The great Lincoln Memorial at Washington, costing about two and a half million dollars, is virtually completed and will likely be dedicated this year. Its architectural beauty impresses and inspires all who visit it, but big as it is, as beautiful as it is, it can only serve in its mute limited way to remind this nation in the centuries to come of the great spirit of the man whose memory it commemorates, the humble Abe Lincoln, American — born Feb. 12, 1809; died April 15, 1865.
