LINCOLN's HARD LINES.
How He Got an Education in Spite Of the
Greatest Disadvantages.


Greatest Disadvantages.
In Lincoln's Kentucky home there were
but three books in the family-the Bible,
catechism, and the spelling book-which
Abe Lincoln studied. He had not been
long in Indiana before he had read the
Pilgrims Progress" his father borrowing
it from a friend who lived 20 miles away.
He was very fond of reading "Esop's
Fables" copy of which came in his way.
A young man taught him to write. As
writing paper OF any kind was very scarcs
and very expensive, Abe used to practice
his writing exercises with bits of chalk or q
burnt stick on slabs and trunks OF trees.
Sometimes he would trace out his name with
a sharp stick on the bare ground. When,
finally, he was able to write letters, he was
called to do the correspondence OF many Of
his neighbors, for very few grown persons
in that region could write even a simple
letter.

The rivers fell somewhat, and will 60 below
the boating stage in day or two. The rise is
running out very fast, as the marks showed a
fall of nearly foot in one hour. At 9 o'clock
it was below the eight-foot mark.
The harbor boat owners are complaining
of the dangerous condition of the Allegheny

made so by the gravel boats. which have been
working there during low water season. One

Talk Of Another Train.

An effort is TO be made to arrange a
TO Fort Worth and other Texas cities for
the months OF February, March, April
and May. The project is in charge of
competent managers of such enterprises,
and will be submitted TO the Chamber of
Commerce at an early date to receive the

body of business men. 1t is proposed,
briefly stated, TO run an excursion every
two weeks from the Eastern and North
ern states, which viii! visit Fort Worth,
the Panhandle, Waco, Houston and CAL
weston, with possibly trip West on the
Texas and Pacific.
The projectors OF the excursion pro-
poses to take every precaution TO pre-
vent scalpers from obtaining any of the
tickets which the roads will be called
upon to furnish the eXcurs ionists, and
system will be adopted similar to the one
employed when so many low rate tickets
were sold TO California a few years ago.
in this way il is hoped TO protect the
roads, aud at the same time get low
rate. The method employee by the CAL
Noruia eXcursionists was to send COM
nittee with each train, to look after The
wishes and wants of the party, and II
one of them left the excursion his ticket
was taken up aud cancelled. 1t Is
thought by February or Maaoh financial
