How the Immortal Abe Won His
EARLY Successes at the Bar.
A suit was brought in the United
States court in Springfield against a
citizen for an infringement of a patent
right Mr.. Lincoln was employed to
defend it. Mr.. Lincoln went to the
most skilled architect in the city, in
quired how he spent his winter even
ings and received the reply: ''If times
are brisk, sometimes work. Otherwise
| have no special business. "
Mr.. Lincoln said: II have patent
right case in court. / want you as a
partner and will divide fees l know
nothing about mechanics-never made
it study. want you to make list
OF the best works on mechanism, as |
don't suppose they can be purchased
here. will furnish the money, and
you can send to Chicago or New York
for them. ! want you to come to my
house one night each week and give me
instructions. In short time he had
witnesses to meet him. and they were
thoroughly drilled.
When the trial commenced, Mr.. Lin
coin put his questions at the cross ex-
animation so scientifically that many
witnesses were bothered to reply When
his witnesses were put on the stand, so
skillful were his questions that the
court. the jury and the bar wondered
how Abe Lincoln knew SO much about
mechanism. His witnesses could reply
promptly He gained the suit and a
reputation such that Mr.. Lincoln was
sustained in every patent right case
brought into that court up to the time
he went to Washington. He went to
Chicago, st. Louis, Iowa. Ohio. Ken

cases, and the last year of his practice

From welsh to spanish.

A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools. As result,
in 1856 colony of prosecuted Welsh
miners fed from the British tyranny
and settled in the deserts Of Patagonia.
These men were heroes. and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
In desert where not plant would
grow. where the water was brackish
and the heat intolerable. They were
surrounded by wild tribes Of hostile
savages and made them warm friends
they were ruled by foreign govern
ment and became loyal citizens
Through long years of want and
famine they never despaired. They
have turned the desert into a beautiful
fertile country, have become rich, num-
Der 5000 people, have extended their
string of settlements right across South
America. own a paying railway and
ship large crops of wheat, wool. ostrich
feathers and quanaco skins
They left Wales to escape the tyranny
of the English language and now, rather
than talk Welsh. they converse largely
of their freedom in excellent Spanish.
