Notwithstanding the fact that the
law, prohibiting the sale of tobacco
to children under I6 years of age is
frequently violated, but few dealers
are detected in it. There are many
venders Of the prepared plant, daily
handing out cigarretts to boys OF
tender years, and they ought to be
made to suffer. Fourteen dealers
were arrested in Williamsport last
week, and it is very likely that
they will pay dearly for their
neglect.

LINCOLN, THE MAN
Born Feb. Y, 1909. Died April IS, 1865.


and never particularly cared for their
society
His kindness was such that he could
never refuse a polite request-where
no principle was involved.
1t was his habit always to read
aloud so that he might remember it
better
He was not a good listener, but
was most at his ease when telling his
own stories.
< The vein of superstition in him never
died out He even related dreams
and portents presaging his own as
sassination.
He was unmethodical and had no
love of detail.
He loved his children and was
idolized by them.
He was above all things merciful
1t is well known that he believed a
soldier should not be punished for
cowardice.
He had tender, sensitive, romantic
nature. He needed sympathy COM
partnership, understanding.
He had marvellous personal cour-
age, but a horror of the sight of blood.
He was fond of homely, old-fashined
poems and used to repeat them. His
favorite was ooh, why should the
spirit of mortal be proud?"

THOMAS AND NANCY LINCOLN.
Fit us for humble service prayed
This kindly, reverent man,
Content to hold lowly place
In Gods eternal plan;
Content, by prairie, wood and stream
The common lot to share,
Or help neighbor in his need
Some grievous weight to bear
Then trustfully resigned the life
That had fulfilled his prayer.
And she in Indiana's grave
This many year who lies
Mother and wife whose yearning soul
Looked sadly from her eyes
Who, dying, called her children close
AS the last shadow fell,
And babe them ever worship God
And love each other we'll
Then to her forest grave was borne
The wind her funeral knell!
So drear-so lone-who could have
dreamed
The boy her bed beside
Forth from that cabin door would
walk
Among the earth's glorified?
But, 10! his name from sea to sea
Gives patriotism wings:
Upon his brow crown is set
Grander than any kings;
And to these fameless graves his fame
Tender remembrance brings.
All. still the humble God doth choose
The mighty to confound;
Still them that fear and follow him
His angels capeth round:
And while by Indiana's woods
Ohio, murmuring, flows,
And Illinois green levels shine
In sunsets parting CLOVIS
While Lincoln's name is dear, oul
hearts
Will hallow their repose.

luminous gray in color, though his
eyebrows were black, like his hair
His face was almost grotesquely
rough and square-lantern- jawed, he
called himself.
During the latter part of his life
Lincoln had rough black beard. He
said he let it grow to cover up his
homely features"
His figure was gaunt, slender and
slightly bent.
He had very large feet &nd wore a
No. II boot on his left foot and No
111a on the right foot
His laugh was delightful-a high
musical tenor.
His clothes were usually black, al

LincoIn's only Male pescendant.

Abraham Lincoln has today only
one direct male descendant. This is
Robert Todd Lincoln of Chicago, the
late presidents oldest son.
Willie Lincoln, it will be remem-
bered, died during the civil war, and
Tad" Lincoln some years after his
fathers tragic death. Robert Lincoln,
who married Miss Mary Harlan, has
had three childre" Two of these,
his grandfather's namesake, died of
blood-poisoning.
Robert Lincoln has had what in any
man who entered life on his own
merits-which a great mans son can
not do-would be called distinguish
ed career. He is not, however,
though he is an accomplished and ur-
bane gentleman, a man of great
gifts, and has never profoundly i'm
pressed his personality on his coun-
try or even in his own political party.
Robert Lincoln, whose education
was the object of his fathers most
passionate longing, passed from
Phillips Exeter academy to Harvard
college and then began the study of
law. Shortly, however, in 1864, he
felt that he could no longer remain
aloof from the army, and assumed a
captaincy under Gen. Grant. The war
over, young Linooln again devoted
himself to the study of the law, in
which profession he continued until
| 1881, when President Garfield appoint
ed him secretary of war.
His later appointment by President
Harrison as ambassador to the court
of ST. James's was equally success
full.
Robert Lincoln is rich, and identi-
fed with the Pullman interests. One
of his daughters, who eloped with an
Iowa brakeman, is now divorced and
lives at home with her 2-year-old child
