Lincoln's old home, near Hodgens-
Vile, Kentucky, will probably be con-
verted into a home for e~x-slaves. Such
Is the plan of Thomas T. Thomas, a
wealthy negro and ex-slave, who has
entered into negotiations with David
Crear, of New York city, the present
owner Of the farm, for the purchase OF
the birthplace OF the great emancipa-
tor. Should Mr.. Crear decide to keep
the farm he will offer the free use of
1t for the building Of a home for ex-
slaves. The logs comprising the origi-
nal cabin, in which the ex-president
was born, which are at present on ex-
hibition at the Pan-American exposi-
ton. will be brought back to the farm
and erected on the site Of it's original
location. Additional land will be pur-
chased and cultivated to supply pro
visions for the ex-slaves.

We were spending the summer at an
old Pennsylvania farmhouse, just out
side a village, shut off from the rest
OF the world by towering pine-crested
mountains. In front Of the wide porch
rippled a little run" as the natives
called It, spanned by a broad foot-log'
with a rickety hand-rail on n side.
Minerva called the place Beersheoa'
and I had persuaded myself that this
stream was the Brook Besor. The n
conical-shaped mountain, towering up
at the south, straight in front Of us, we
called Mt. Sinai; and the farmer had
informed US that the long range at
the west was the 'Pisgah mountings.'
IF this Biblican atmosphere doesn't
cure you, Minerva" I remarked, as
carefully established my invalid in the
long, low steamer chair, it'll do some
thing else, I'm thinking. Do you know
I discovered this morning that that big
gray cat which has taken such a fancy
to you is named Ebenezer, and the
horse which pulled us from the station
is Hosea!"

me.

putting leisurely at a cigar. When l
had reached the bend where the brook

pasture land, l leaped across the water
at a narrow place and came back up

to gather some wild b%lackberries and
spear them on a long blade Of grass.

her on the porch where she reclined,
dreaming in cheerful loneliness.
did you aver strike a place so ut
terly sleepy in your life?" l asked.
Minerva looked at me t%houghtfully
as she leisurely munched a blackberry
and drew another from the stem, hold
ing 1t poised daintily between her
slender f~orehnger and thumb. At last
she replied, do you know, perhaps it's
strange, Socrates, but it seems to me
that / never exactly struck a place in
my life"
II Minerva has a fault, a thing which
I am usually inclined TO doubt, 1t Is
that at times she has a tendency to
take some of my remarks rather too
literally. / am always careful not to
appear to notice this ~shortcoming, so /
seated myself on the porch-hoor, and
leaning my head against her knee,
made no reply.
She dropped a big blackberry into
my mouth as she continued:

of sleepiness that it does one good to
slip away from the unending turmoil
Of the world and get a taste Of. Lis

came the faint sounds Of a soprano
