When Abraham Lincoln was young
man, his prodieious strength and his
skin in wrestling were matters of note
throughout central Illinois. Few in.
deed were the men who could boast of
having laid him on his back.
Somewhere along in the thirties there
was a case on trial in one Of the circuit
courts in that section in which an ef-
fort was made to impcach the testimo-
ny of one of the witnesses. The evil
denCc was conflicting Some would
believe the witness on oath and others
would not.
At last n middle aged man with de.
termined expression of countenanCe
was called to the stand. The usual
question was put touching the reputa-
ton Of the witness for truth and yerac'
ity:
"Wou,d you believe him on oath?
"No ! wouldn't" he answered, and
before the lawyer On the opposite side
could interpose he gave his reason:
II heerd him braggin' Onct that he'd
throwed Abe Lincoln in fair an
square rassle,"
No other witnesses were called. The
attempt to impeach was successful

to buy n dozen eggs when their hens
failed to lay enough.

the boy supposed that this was prompt
