been knocked off. Mr. WInans found
the stencil in the spring of 1893-just
ninety years from the time the Lewis

thing of historical value is preserved fo1

A number of the speedy boys belong

night for the purpose of choosing team

with favor among citizens, and THE

minds to have one.
The Orchestra held its regular practice
last evening. The question had bee n
asked several of the members during the
day whether or not they would give
open air concerts if band stand were
erected. The boys unanimously agreed
to play at least one evening a week
free of charge. This generosity on the
part of the Orchestra should find a
hearty response from people of The
Dailes and the building of grand stand
should quickly result.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S EARLY
OCCUPATION.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes; was personally &C.
quainted with Mr.. Lincoln, and have
often heard him relate his experiences
as rail-splitter and as fiat boat man,
and have portion of one of the black
walnut rails he and John Hanks split in
Macon County, in Illinois. in $780, In
stead of being ashamed of his early work,
Mr.. Lincoln took great pride in it and
in relating his connection Herewith.
From his earliest youth he was fond of
being on the water, and when only
seventeen years old assisted James Tay-
lor in managing fatboai that was used
as ferry to cross the Ohio river at the
mouth of Anderson's Creek, in Indiana.
For this service he received 81 cents per
day. When nineteen years old he deter
mined to become fatboat man, but
was persuaded out OF the notion.
Ia March. 1928. James Gentry. an In
diana neighbor. fitted out fiatboat with
a stock of grain and meat for a trading
expedition to New Orleans, and hired
Mr.. Lincoln to work on the boat. This
he did, and was paid 81 per month and
board for his labor. On the boat he " as
"bowhand" and that position entailed

ting and carving flesh, but it's conven-
fence in eating soon became apparent.
The origin OF the spoon is uncertain
1t must have been invented at very
ancient date for it is found among peo
pie that have never come into contact
with civilization. The necessity of hav-
ing some implement for dipping water
seems to have led first to the invention
of the calabash, or the use of the cocoa
nut she'll, and later on to the spoon.
We must wait four thousand years be-
fore we find the fork. Or, as French
writer on table etiquette has said, from
the creation Of the world to the begin

a mistake of four hundred years; for we

kept for special purposes. Thus John,
Duke of Brittany, is said to have used

the voyage. In 1880. Mr.. Lincoln came
to Illinois, and settled five miles north
west of the then small village OF Decat-
ur, in Macon county. Here he and John
Hanks "broke up" fifteen acres of sod,
and as John Hanks told me. ABE and
myself split walnut rails enough to fence
the place in"
saw John Hanks bring pile Of these
rails into State Convention in Illinois
where Mr.. Lincoln was a candidate for
some office. and l distinctly remember
the excitement that was caused thereby.
When living at Goose Nest Prairie, in
Coles county, ILL.,, Mr.. Lincoln said he
worked at odd jobs in the neighbor-
hood, land OF these jobs rail splitting was
not an unusual work. AS late as 1881
he split 5000 rails for Major Warwick
and walked daily three miles to his
work. and the same distance in return
ing from it.
In 1881. he met Denton Offut, gen.
eral trader and speculator, who often
sent flatboats loaded with grain and
provisions to New Orleans. Lincoln
was introduced to Offut by John Hanks,
and they two and cousin Of Lincoln's
named johnson hired themselves to
Offut to work as fiatboat men on boat
he was then getting ready for trip to
New Orleans. For this service he was,
paid so cents day, and was to have a
small share Of the profits OF the trip.
For some reason unknown to me, Offut
failed to start the boat, as originally in
tended, but determined to build another,
and Hanks and Lincoln and johnson
were employed about four weeks in
building the boat, and during that time
Lincoln acted as cook for the building
party. By April 10 the boat had been
built and loaded and had reached New
Salem in Sangamon county, Ill. From
New Salem they hoated down the San
CANON river to the Illinois, and down
that to the Mississippi, and thence to
New Orleans, where they arrived in May.
He returned to New Salem in August,
1881, and after that on at least two occa-
sions acted as pilot on steamers on the
Sangamon river.
What young man will say he could
make something of himself, if he was
not poor and did not have to work? In
all of these duties, there we're open eyes
and ears and an active mind back of
busy hands.-ED.)

were dull and dark. The streets were
like rivers.
Lou and Clara stood at the window

weather. They found fault because the
mountains were hidden. They did not
know what a wonderful treat was being

little fellow, there was one thing that
John loved even better than play;
and that was to make pictures. The
walls of the house, the doors, and, In
some cases, even the ceilings were
covered with sketches in charcoal or
crayon. And poor John was the
worst boy to send on an Grand; for
he was sure to be diverted by some
thing he saw on the way, and would
stop to draw picture of it on the
side of a building, or, occasionally,
on the back of his jacket, which he
would slip off for the purpose. This
sometimes brought him into trouble.
His mother was usually very patient
with him, however; for she had a
mothers faith in his talents. And
his father acknowledged that, latter
all, the young rascal's pictures were
uncommonly good"
Others soon began to think so, too
When John was nine years old, lit
tie sketch of his won silver medal
from the Society of Arts. He then
entered a regular class at the Royal
Academy, and gained two more med
ais.
He was now tall, prepossessing
young fellow; and some people said he
ought to be better employed than in
dawdling with colors and canvas.
His parents were growing old; they
had made many sacrifices that he
might pursue his studies, AMI now
they were badly off for funds.
"Don't you worry, mother; it will
be all right. father" he told them
cheerily. Keep up your spirits I'M
til my Ferdinand is finished. 1t is
the best thing | have done, and can
not fail to bring good price"
And SO they hoped on; and he
painted steadily, trying to portray
his beautiful ideal. The subject was
Ferdinand and Ariel" from Shak-
spere's play, 1.-THE Tempest"
One day he persuaded dealer to
go and look at the picture. The man
after examining it carefully, said:
at promises well. When it is com
pleted, if / like it as much as / do
now, I will give you f100 for it."
At this good news there was great
rejoicing in the little home. John
worked with new enthusiasm. AS
the picture grew more beautiful ev-
cry day they naturally regarded it as
sold.
At last it was finished. Johns
father and mother, and the few
friends to whom he exhibited it were
loud in it's praise; and the young art
ist, in high spirits, and feeling al
ready the JOY of success, brought the
dealer to see it. But, alasl the man
had changed his mind in the inter
val, or he was out of humor, or some
detail did not please him. At any
rate, he looked the picture over cold
ly, and finally said;
Il spoke of buying your picture if
1 liked it; but / don't like it, and l
won't take it. Good morning.
Turning on his heel, he was gone
before the unfortunate painter could
realize what had happened. The
consciousness came soon enough,
however; and then John faltered,
wondering how he was to tell father
and mother. But he was not one to
shirk duty because it was hard
one; and so he went to the sitting
room, where they were awaiting the
verdict with calm confidence.

failed. The picture has been re-
fused"
"Never mind, my dear boy" she
cried, laying her hand affectionately
upon his arm. "Why should you be
