mother took a notion that they would send
Charles down to Kentucky to visit a few years
with an uncle and al aunt; and they decided
that they would send him down by steamboat,
and he began using the river to go on to see his
aunt and uncle. AS soon as he got on to the
ways of the boat he began to accept all sorts of
people for his friends. man with long fingers,
who wore shining clothes, pleased him the best;
Charles got very thick with this man and told
him all about his fathers money. The man
offered to play cards for what Charles had, but
Charles did not play, and the man played with
another passenger and he lost all he had but his
nerve, and with that he stole a satchel and left
the boat at the next landing. His work was
coarse and the man who owned the satchel set a
policeman on his trail. Charles took a walk
around the town to see the sights while the boat
rested; the man with the stolen grip met Charles
and asked him to hold his satchel while he went
Charles took the grip and held it until the police
man got near enough to arrest him. The thief
did not come back and Charles was taken to Jail
and locked up for stealing. He told his story
but it did not wash, and jury pronounced him
good timber for the penitentiary. He was game
several months before he wrote home. When
his father heard of his sons sad fate he drew
one Thousand dollars out of the bank and it took
eight hundred of it to get his son out of jail: and
he took him back home to cut the rest of his
teeth.-Ex.

Another Lincoln Story.

Mr. Lincoln, says writer in the Burlington
Hd,Ukeye was one of the rare takers who could
always point a moral with an adjoining tale taken
out of his experience. Everybody has expert
ence if he only knows it. Most of lis are so much
in the habit of taking in wisdom and fun through
the printed page or story as another man tells it
that we lack the capacity to see it for ourselves.
A stOry-teller is the man who finds his own
material. An old southern politician was NOR
aiZing thus few nights ago and eulOgizing the
man the South used to dislike.
when Lincoln first came to Washington I
went to see him, so pre- JUDGED against him be-
fOrehand that no man with less genius could
have overcome it. left that first interview his
friend No man ever came under the charm of
Lincoln's personality without respecting him,
and, if allowed, loving him.
lone day. after we had became fairly good
friends, told him of my early prejudice.
Mr.. Lincoln. | said, L have heard every
mean thing on earth about you except one. l
never heard that you we're too fond of the pleas
ures of life MIR. Lincoln sat for a moment
stroking his long cheek thoughtfully, and then
he drawled out in his peculiar western voice:
THAT reminds me of something that boy
said to me when l was about ten years old.
"Once in while my mother used to get some
sorghum and some ginger and mix us batch of
gingerbread. 1t wasn't often, and it was our
biggest treat.
lone day smelled it and came into the house
to get my share while it was hot. found she
had baked me three gingerbread men, and
took them out under a hickory tree to eat them.
"'There was a family living near US that was a
little poorer than we were, and their boy came
along as l sat down.
"'Abe, he said, edging closer, gimme man.
II gave him one. He crammed it into his
mouth at two bites and looked at me while bit
the leg of my first one.
ABE he said, gimme that othern.
81 wanted it, but gave it to him, and as it
| followed the first one said:
"'You seem to like gingerbread?
"'Abe,' he said, earnestly, L don't s'pose
there's anybody in the world likes gingerbread
as we'll as do, and drawing a sigh that brought
up crumbs, L don't s'pose there's anybody gets
| less of it,"
And the old politician said Mr.. Lincoln looked
| as though the subject was ended.

Good Advice.

How foolish is the pessimist.
Despondent and forlOrn,
Who always, when he gets rose,
Goes hunting for the thorn.
The OptimiSt has better sense;
The charm of life he knows,
He doesn't mind a scratch or two,
If he can get the rose.
So do not be pessimist,
CaEkered with discontent;
The optimist has heaps of fun
That doesn't cost a cent.
