which still bears many marks Of It's
original wilderness, was dedicated
monument to the resting place Of the
mother of Abraham Lincoln. All the
world knows the touching story Of the
death of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the
frau wilderness woman who taught her
husband to read. 1t was of the mys-
FERROUS milk sickness" that she died.
Putting her hand on little Abes head
she told him to be kind and good. Abra-
ham Lincoln felt the pressure Of that
feeble, dying hand to the day of his
DEATH No minister or priest was pres
ent when Thomas Lincoln performed
the duties of undertaken and sexton,
making with his whipsaw the boards for
the coffin and helping to lower with his
own hands the emaciated form of that
tall, dark woman with the brown hair,
gray eyes, high forehead and melan-
choly face. No more bitter tears were
ever shed by Abraham Lincoln than
those which forced themselves from his
boysh eyes as he stood, scarcely know
ing why, hand in hand with his sister
at his mothers grave. 1t was high time
the world which so honors the Madonna
and the child should honor the mother
Of Abraham Lincoln. The soil which
wraps the clay Of that log cabin mother
is sacred soil. When Nancy Hanks
Lincoln bent over the cradle of her boy,
who knows what dreams of his great
future may have come to her? The an
gels told Mary what her son would be-
come. May not the angels have whis-
pered to this wilderness mother some
portent of her strange sons future?
Nancy Hanks Lincoln. The world will
not forget that name. And in the years
to come the feet of many pilgrims will
turn toward that little hill in southern
Indiana as to sacred shrine.

A little waif was arrested in New
York the other day, and, when he faced
the Judge, he told his story. His moth
er didn't care for him and he became a
child of the street. And" he said.
''when yer mother don't care for yer,
yer amt got no mother" There's a ser
mon. Its dictiOn is uncOuth, but the ut
terance is sincere and by one-God pity
the waif-who knows. IF yer mother
don't care fer yer, yer amt got no
mother" There is always a chance for
the boy whose mother cares. But for the
tiny acorn of a man which the wheel
of a passing cart may crush. how shall
it push aside the leaves and sprout and
grow into an oak? Every boy is most
ly animal. The old theologians said man
has fallen. The new theologians say he
has come upward from a brute. And
the marks of his ancestry cleave TO
him, especially in youth. 1t Is only the
mothers that make it possible for a
healthy boy to
Move upward, working out the beast,
And let the ape and tiger die.
And If his mother fail him, hell has
the advantage Of heaven. When Madam
De Stael asked Napoleon what was the
greatest need of France he promptly re-
piled: Mothers" But IF yer mother
don't care for yer, yer amt got any
mother" Poor little outcast. Your ser
mon goes direct to the root of most Of
the sin in this world.

The Senator came out of his private

The unhappy young man wiped his

Again the Senator rapidly read a Sc

"Now, what's that?" he shouted.
The young man gasped.
