Mr. Lanham began his service In the
Forty-eighth Congress. and has served

LINCOLN'S EARLY DAYS.
Some "reminiscences of His BOyhOod Days in Indiana.

Until a few years ago there was in
Gentryville an old wooden fire shovel.
on which Lincoln had traced these
verses:
Time-What an empty vapor tits,
And days. how swift they are;
Swift as an arrow speed our lives,
Swift as a shooting star.
The present moment
The stanza was not finished, but It
was kept for many years until the old
FIRE shovel disappeared, and its where
abouts are unknown to this day.
There used to be a character around
Gentryvine in its early days known as
"old Holmes" who was often intoxi-

Parker's Presidential Boom.

The Parker Presidential boom is hav-
ing a renaissance in the South. Here
and there in all parts OF Dixie sentiment
IN favor Of the Empire State jurist
abounds. The statesmen Of the South.
after following the illusive rainbow OF
promise in the West. have again turned
their eyes toward the East. and their
gaze rests upon the modest and retiring
man who might have been governor OF
the State had not certain events hap
pened OF which every man in New York
with any political instinct knows fun
