A Present for His Sweetheart.

While snmmering at hotel on tho
Blue mountains near Reading q gallant
youth who resides on South Broad
street, this city. bethought him of a
clever plan to prove TO his fancec his
undying devotion. In the six weeks on
the mountain he killed with his own
hand nineteen huge rattlesnakes. The
rattles. mum bering two hundred and
thirteen. were carefully plucked from
the tails of the venomous reptiles. and
all the snakes were bravely skinned.
The skins were taken to furrier in
Reading and section of each was cut
out and pieced into n brilliant Cir
die. The edges of the girdle, top and
bottom, were trimmed with the rattles
after the fashion of Jet beads This
astonishing trophy was then presented
by the gallant youth to his swcetheart
down town. -Philadelphi Record.

Old Home of tho Lincoln Family in I'LL

Near the graveyard where Lincoln's
father and stepmother rest, seven miles
south Of Charleston, Ill, in place
then known as Goose Nest. the Lin
coins made their final settlement on re-
moving from Indiana. Here Abraham
Lincoln assisted his father in getting
settled" as they called it. He helped
him build log cabin, and cleared fol-
him patch OF ground, and when he
saw him under Roadway" in the new
country bade him good-by and started
north afoot. He found employment not
far from Springfield, ILL.,, where the
active part of his early life was spent.
Though he did not linger long in the
Goose Nest cabin, he was there long
enough to stamp his individuality on
every heart for miles around, and many
ore the stories told of his sojourn
among those people. II was my lot to
be born and reared few miles from
the early home of the Lincolns, and
many are the incidents I picked up in
conversation with the old settlers about
our nclknpOtuOOu, III VI w NUN huCW
Lincoln we'll. was shown bridge
he helped to build, md many other
relics Of his boyhood days.
One very old man told me that he
once rode up to Thomas Lincoln's cabin
and inquired II he could spend the night
there He was informed that tn e house
afforded only two beds, and one of these
belonged to a son who was then at
home; but II he would get the consent
Of this boy to take him in as bedfel'
low. he could. stay. The strange dis.
mounted, and soon found the six-foot
boy In the back yard lying on board
reading. The boy consented. and the
man slept with him that night The
boy was Abraham Lincoln. and the
other never tires Of telling how he
spent the night with tho future presi'
