Nancy Hanks.

Most people will recognize Nancy
Hanks as the maiden name of Abraham
Lincoln's mother, who became the wife OF
Thomas Lincoln. died at the age of thirty
five years and was buried in southern In
diana Common tradition and some writer's
have done her memory and character great
injustice, and this little book. by Mrs. Car
oline Hanks Hitchcock. is an attempt to
clear her name from the falsifications that
have been attached to II. The author estab-
fishes for the first time by new documents
and facts the true story of the life or
Lincoln's mother. and by simple,
straightforward account clears away the
mystery that has surrounded her. showing
her as a true woman OF good, honest Eng
lish and American descent. and wholly
worthy to have been the mother of such
a man as Abraham Lincoln. The book sup
plies a missing link In Lincoln's family his

This story, by Samuel Gordon, seems to
get its name from the fact that IL deals
with the destinies OF some very common

represent an important element in the

mainly with the fortunes Of two Eng

of prosperity The story ends with
the marriage of both girls. 1t deals large

the most uncertain and the action of the
markets for the past two days shows the
correctness Of this old adage. With the
government indications for clearing
weather in the Mississippi valley to-
81 day. our market closed TO find that the
rain had continued during the night and
that the morning predictions showed a
probable continuance of showers. These
advises we're enough to open the market
at 10 points advance and bring buying
orders from the West 90 advance the
prices another 10 points. At this i'm
prove ment the market became quiet,
trough many sensational dispatches were
received from the valley. The course of
the market will be controlled by weather
advices. Clearing weather would find the
markets without support, as the short in
terest appears to have covered during the
past two days. Continued wet weather
would attract the trade who have not
