ABE READS HIS FIRST LAWBOOk
/ V

Although imbued with marked dislike
for manual labor, 1t cannot be truthfully
said that Lincoln was indolent. From
q mental standpoint he was one of the
most energetic young men of his day. He
dwelt altogether in the land of thought.
His deep meditation and abstraction east
ly induced the belief among his horny
handed companions that he was lazy. In
fact, II neighbor, John Romne, makes
that charge He worked for me, " testi-
fies the latter. "but was always reading
and thinking / used to get mad at him
for 1t. | say he was awfully lazy. He
would laugh and talk, crack jokes and tell
stories all the time-ddn love work half
as much as his pay. He said to me one
day that his father taught him to work,
but he never taught him to love it"
Verify there was but one Abraham Lin
coin.
His chief delight during the day. If un-
molested, was to lie down under the shade
of some inviting tree to read and study.
At night, lying on his stomach in front Of
the open fireplace, with piece of charcoal
no would cipher on a broad wooden shovel
When the latter was covered over on both
Sides he would take his fathers drawing
knife or plane and shave 1t off clean, ready
for fresh supply of inscriptions the next
day. He often moved about the cabin
with piece of chalk, writing and cipher
tng on boards and the fiat sides of hewed
logs. When every bare wooden surface
had been filled with his letters and ciphers,
he would erase them and begin anew.
The first lawbook Lincoln ever read
was The Statutes of Indiana" He OBJ
tanned the volume from his friend David
Turnham, who testifies that he fairly do
voured the book in his eager efforts to alb

adam and Ewes Wedding Song"
When Adam was created.
He dwelt in Eden's shade,
AS Moses has recorded,
And soon a bride was made.
The Lord then was not willing
That man should be alone,
But caused a sleep upon him,
And from him took bone.
And closed the flesh instead thereof,
And then he took the same
And of it made woman
And brought her to the man.
Then Adam he rejoiced
To see his loving bride
A part Of his own body,
The product of his side.
The woman was not taken
From Adams feet, we see.
So he must not abuse her,
The meaning seems to be.
The woman was not taken
From Adam 8 head, we know,
To show she must not rule him
'Tis evidently So
The woman she was taken
From under Adams arm.
So she must be protected
From injuries and harm.
Poor Sarah, at whose wedding this song
was sung, never lived to see the glory nor

Tho Extended Picnics Now Being Enjoyed
In Florida.

Land yachting Is always n favorite sum
mer amusement In Florida, bat this year
the wheeled vessels arc out In greater mum
bers than ever before and earlier In the sea-
son. The main roads are dotted with
them, and ono cannot make days jour
ney In any direction without tcncountcringa
half dozen family parties travelling leisure
ly along In their own wagons or camping
by springs or on river banks.
The condition Of tho orange groves Is re-
sponsible for the early start this year
Work IL finished I'm most sections, and the
orangcmen have absolutely nothing to do
till the end Of summer. In fow weeks
the vegetable growers will also be at liber-
ty, and then the number of land yachts in
tho roads will be ut least doubled.
The land yachting party is always o
family affair The resident Floridian has
friends up In Georgia or Alabama, or psi
haps In some distant part Of the state or
II he has not he travels for the sake Of
change and seeing the country. He has u
pair OF mules and the big wagon In which
he draws his crops to the railway, and he
reasons that IL costs him no more To travel
than to stay mt home, IN no has to buy his
horse feed In either case.
The night camp Is where real pleasure Is
looked for. The best stopping places are
known to most of the land yachtsmcn-the
coolest springs, the best woods, and the
towns where provisions can be bought. At
the spring or on the river bank two or
three more land yachts are almost certain
to be met, and n big fire is built to cook
the supper Of all the parties. Somebody in
one OF the wagons Is sure to have cousin
or an immediate friend I'm the neighboring
town, and boy Is sent I'm on muleback to
announce the arrival of the party ut the
spring.
This brings out not only the friend, but
the friends friends, to the number some
times Of dozen or twenty More wood Is
piled on the fire to make blaze, n smooth
spot Is cleared for dancing, and with plcn-
ty Of music half the night goes by merrily.
1t Is not the "crackers' who travel
about Florida In this way In summer, but
generally people Of means and substance,
who could well afford to go I'm the cars IL
they chose. They prefer the wagon because
It makes a prolonged picnic for them and
gives them the best possible chance to see
the country and meet their friends. The
total expense Of one Of these long land
cruises Is reckoncd at about 81 day for
the two mules and four persons.-New
York Sun.

THE ROANOKE TIMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER ~ 1ses-

this reads we'll enough, but ever since
the rebellion began, nearly year ago,
General Csmpos has been promising
some grand coup which was to have
startled the world and crushed the in
surreotion. Instead of display of such
fine generslship on the part of the
Spanish commander, the Cuban srmy
has been constantly increasing In num-
bers and efficiency until now oil the
island, except some Of the principal
cities, appears to be in their possession.
Il may be that the movement against
Havana Is feint to conceal some other
design, but the insurgent generals have
heretofore proven Themselves so much
abler in the direction of military affairs
than thelr opponents that but little fear
need be felt for their safety 90 far
as capture and humiliation by the
armies OF Spain is concerned. Indeed,
tho Cuban cause Is growing brighter all
the time, and Cuban independence,
which six months ago seemed only an
idle dream, promises before the close of
next year TO prove q substantial re-
atty.

REASONS FOR WANTING SILVER.

The reason why we advocate the
restoration of silver is because 1t will
make more money and give immediate
relief, snd because there is no other
way to relieve the people OF the United
States from the curse of gold oontrac-
ton. The reconciliation OF silver Is
no experiment.. It has been used for
thousands Of years. Silver Is the money
OF the constitution. The silver dollar
was the work Of Hamilton, Jefferson
and Jackson, and the people of the
United States know that they were
patriotic.
The people of the United States know
that silver never did any harm, but al :
ways brought blessings in it's wake.
The people o,the United States know
that silver Is the money OF the people,
Therefore. we again appeal to them by
the presidents OF thousands of years, by
the wisdom aud patriotism of the found
