Annals of the Poor
Date and Place of Lincol1's Birth-ln-
terview With Newspaper Man.
The Family Record-A Tragic
Dcath-Roving Father of
the President
l

Beyon the fact that he was born on the
18th day of February, 1909, in Hardin
county, Ky, Mr.. Lincoln usually had but
little to say of himself, the lives of his
parents or the history of the family before
their removal to Indiana. If he mentioned
the subject at all, it was with great reluc-
tance and significant reserve. There was
something about his origin he never cared
to dwell upon. His nomination for the
presidency in 1860, however, made the
publication of his life necessity and at
tracted to Springfield an army of cam
paign biographers and newspaper men,
They met him in his office, stopped him
in his walks and followed him to his
house Artists came to paint his picture
and sculptors to make his bust. His auto
graphs were in demand, and PEOPLE came
long distances to shake him by the hand.
This sudden elevation to national promi-
hence found Mr.. Lincoln unprepared in a
great measure for the unaccustomed dem
onstration that awaited him. While he
was easy of approach and equally courte-
GUS to ALL yet, as he said to me one evening
after long day of handshaking, he could
not understand why people should make
SO much over him.
Among the earliest newspaper men to
arrive in Springfield after the Chicago
convention was the late j. l.. Scripps of
the Chicago Tribune, who proposed to
prepare history of his life Mr.. Lincoln
deprecated the idea of writing even a cam
paign biography. why, Scripps," said
he, lit is great piece of folly to attempt
to make anything out of me or my early
life. 1t can all be condensed into a single
sentence, and that sentence you will find
in Gray's 'Elegy:'
''The short and simple annals of the poor.
CHATS my life, and that's all you or
any one else can make out of it. -
He did, however, communicate some
facts and meager incidents of his early
days, and with the matter thus obtained
Mr.. Scripps prepared his book. Soon after
the death of Lincoln l received a letter
from Soripps, in which, among other
things, he recalled the meeting with Lin
coin and the view he took of the bio
graphy matter.
Lincoln seemed to be painfully i'm
pressed" he wrote, with the extreme
poverty of his early surroundings and the

utter absence of all romantic and heroic
elements He communicated some facts
to me concerning his ancestry, which he
did not wish to have published then, and
which 1 have never spoken of or alluded
to before
What the facts referred to by Mr. Scripps
were VIC do not know, for he died several
years ago without, so far as is known, re
vealing them to any one.
Lincoln and His Mother.
On the subject of his ancestry and origin
I'only remember one time when Mr.. Lin
coin ever referred to it. 1t was about 1850
when he and | were driving III his one
horse buggy to the court iii Menard coun
ty, Ills. The suit we were going to try
was one in which we were likely, either
directly OF collaRrally, to touch upon the
subject Of hereditary traits During the
ride he spoke for the first time in my hear
ing of his mother, dwelling on her charac-
ceristics and mentioning or enumerating
Municipalities he inherited from her He
said among other things, that she was the
daughter of Lucy Hanks and well bred
but obscure Virginia farmer or planter,
and be argued that from this last source
came his power of analysis, his logic, his
mental activity, his ambition and all the
qualities that distinguished him from the
other members and descendants of the
Hanks family
Abraham Lincoln, the grandfather OF
the president, emigrated to jefferson coun-
ty, KY, from Virginia, about 1880, and
from that time forward the former state
became an important one in the history of
the family, for III it was destined to be
born its most illustrCus member About

mANlTOBA'S SCHOOL FIGHT.


A document Charging That Catholics
Committed Forgery in Order to Sustain
Their Contention.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Nov. 7.--Of
scores OF documents that have been
issued since the parochial school agi-
tation began, by far the most sensa-
tional has Just been published by the
Manitoba government. 1t has been
kept by the government to be sprung
on the eve of the general elections and
the effect of the document is all that
had been expected.
1t arraigns the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy for alleged classifying. The
Roman Catholics have all along con
tended that their schools were pre-
served to them under the Bill of Rights
adopted when Manitoba entered the
consideration of Canadian provinces in
1870. The Protestant contention has
been that while the reference was made
to parochial schools in a rejected Bill
Of Rights submitted in 1878, there
was no such reference in the bill rati-
fed and adopted in 1870 by both pro-
yincia and dominion government.
In answer to this Protestant conten-
ton, the Roman Catholics produced a
manuscript bearing the date of 1870,
which reads that the rights of Roman
Catholics to their schools should never
be interfered with. This manuscript
bore evidence of being reliable and
authentic, and seemed conclusive.
Now, however, the government shows
that the date of the document was
really 1878, and a scientific photo
graphic process, it is alleged reveals
that the figure 3 was changed into the
cipher. The original figure 3 is by 9
photograph revealed in faded inklikt
traces 10 the document, while the
cipher is in fresher and blacker ink.
