patrick mill. That President Lincoln so
wildly remembered the old mill was
due probably to the fact that he came
near losing his life one day while play
ing about the stream which runs by the
place.
The accident occurred on Sunday.
Lincoln and a companion, Austin Gal
lagher, tried to cross the stream on a
log The stream was in flood at the
time and Abe fell off the log. Gallagher
had the presence of mind to reach him
a pole, and the future President was
hauled to shore more dead than alive.
1t was considerable time before
young Lincoln recovered consciousness.

The Iron Man.

A story writer who catered for the
boys Of fifteen or twenty years ago
built up many thrilling tales about
a man. Such a machine-"Hercules IS,
the Iron Man"-was actually on exhi-
bitiOn last summer in an American
park, about which he perambulated in
the following undesired and inconven.
lent fashion:
He was eight feet high, and when
the oil fire inside him was lighted, and
steam generated, he walked about
pushing a sort Of iron wheeled cart.
He wore a tall hat and a hideous grin,
and puffed exhaust steam through his
nostrilS.
Late one night some Of the campers
at the park lighted the fire in Hercules
after the resort was closed and the
owner Of the figure had gone away.
The valve had been left open when the
fire was put out, and when steam was
generated again the man began to walk
about the park. For little while he
surpassed Frankenstein's monster.
No one knew how to stop him. and
he walked all over the park, through
the lake and the camping ground.
Sleepers in his path had to be awak-
ened to get them out of the way, for
it was impossible to control the steam
mans movements. Inequalities in the
ground, trees, and other distractions
turned him aside, but did not stop him.
He terrOrized the park for an hour,
but. like many human being. came
to grief at the gate. He marched up
to it, bumped against it, toppled over
and alighted on his head. Thus he
remained, kicking his feet in the air.

OLD MILL TO BE PRESERVED.
Kentucky Landmark Built by the
Father of President Lincoln.

A movement is now on foot for the
preservation of the old kirkpatrick

by the father of Abraham Lincoln. The
mill is located a mile from the place
where Lincoln was born and was erect
ed in 1916. Abe often trudged across
the fields leading from the humble log
cabin to the mill with a sack of corn
across his shoulders. During his term
as President, Lincoln frequently asked
about the old mill. and in an old note
book of his was found leaf upon
which he described his birthplace as
being about a mile from the old Kirk
