LINCOLN'S BIRTHPLACE.
The Spot Now Marked by n Rude
FlagpOle-Journeys of the
Log Cabin

The little log cabin in which Abra
ham Lincoln was born in is no longe.
upon the place. During the Nashville
exposition it was carried down there
and since that time it has been a
regular feature at all the affairs OF
this kind. Its latest journey was to
Buffalo, in 1901, and understand that
1t is still there, says a writer in
Womans Home Companion. The
place where it originally stood was a
high, barren hilltop, and the exact
spot is now marked by rude flag
pole. Thomas Lincoln was undoubted-
eddy determined in building his cabin
there by the spring of delicious cold
water that pours through a cavern at
the foot of the hill. The spring is
at the bottom OF a sink-hole, where
the underlying limestone rock has
given way and left a rocky chasm
about dozen feet deep. The break
exposes an outjutting ledge on one
side, while on the other is q steep
slope of earth and shattered stone,
and close around grow numerous
bushes and trailing vines and few
fine trees that cast a pleasant shad-
ow on the hollow. How many times
Lincolns mother must have toiled
up the hill from the spring with her
water-bucket, aud how often the
little boy must have toddled down TO
this cool retreat and dabbIed in the
flowing waterI The spot is favor
ite resort for pleasure parties for
miles around. Indeed, these parties
constitute the bulk of the '7isitors to
the shrine; yet in spite OF: its COM
parative inaccessibility, an occasion

WILD-HOG KILLINGS.
Annual Event That Ii Popular Among
the Natives of the Tennessee
Mountains.

Every fall along the latter part of
November the scattered jewellers Ia
the mountain regions of Tennessee
gather together for their annual wild
hog killing.
The race Of wild hogs found there
is supposed to have originated from
stock brought into the region by the
early settlers. The original swine
were permitted to run free in the
woods to fatten on the roots, nuts
and mast. Some of them wandered
away and remained in the woods, and
from them has sprung the present
race of wild hogs, says the New York
Sun.
These hogs show a marked differ
ence in appearance and habits form
the original domestic stock. They
are tall and slab-sided. Their ears
stand erect and are twice as long as
those of domestic swine. They have
curved tusks which in the boars are
often three inches long. Their hair
Is coarse and wiry. The savageness
of the wild hogs is such that the
mountain wolves, which are yet plen-
tiful in the region, give them wide
berth.
To this day the people who dwell
among those hills depend for their
winter supply of meat on wild game,
and chiefly on the Wild hogs. The
hogs are not in fit condition until
late in the fall, and then they have
grown fat on TIE mast of the woods,
and their flesh is sweet, hard and
juicy. They are hunted by parties
of half dozen or more.
The wild hogs travel in droves.
They are shy of man and exceedingly
wary. When pig-killing parties find
signs of a drove the hunters close in
on the hogs.
Dogs trained for the purpose open
the attack. The hogs will show fight
at sight of the dogs and at once
stand at bay. The dogs are trained
to seize the hogs by the ear. No guns
are used in the killing. Each MEM
Der of the party carries heavy hick-
DRY cudgel and long-bladed butcher
knife.
The rushing in of a party on
drove that the dogs have rounded up
usually puts to flight all the hogs
that are not held by dog. These,
squealing and snorting and fighting,
are bounced upon by the killers, who
stun them by blows on the head with
the hickory clubs and then out their
Threats.
1t frequently happens that some
overconfdent dog is killed before the
man with the club gets in his blow
and then there is likely to be an ugly
fight between that man and the hog,
fight that very often results In the
mans serious injury. There are not
few instances on record where |
fight such as that has resulted in the |
death of the man.
Sometimes in a struggle with some
particularly determined and vigorous
wild hog, the pig-killer has been
known to jump astride the hogs
back, and, holding fast with one hand
to the long, stiff bristles on its neck,
endeavor to stab the hog in the
throat. In one case man who re-
sorted to these tactics was carried
more than a mile throuG The brush
on the hogs back.
None of these wild hog pig-hllings
is ever ended without the death OF
one or more dogs, and more or lesA
desperate fights between the men ane
the hogs. A hog-killing trip fire..
quently covers three or four days be
fore sufficient pork has been secured

ELECTRICAL GAMBLING.
The Latest Application of Modern Sci ence to the Game of Keno.

D. -
 The Latest Application of Modern Sci
 ence to the Game of Keno. <
 Gambling by electricity is the latest fad in the west" said a tourist who re- gently returned from a western trip. Tn this progressive age am not easily surprised, but when came upon this latest application of that silent and in visible force to q game of chance \ had to pinch myself to see if I was awake. But coming down to reck-bottom eacts, it is not at all surprising that electrici- ty should be used in conducting game of chance. found. after a little refiec- ton, that my surprise was that it had not become common thing instead of presenting the aspect of something ex- traordinary. HI
 .'In this day, indeed. electricity is used for everything from curing dys- pepsia to propelling an airsfip or sub- marine boat, and the time is not far dis tant, perhaps, when electric bank cash iers or baseball rmpires will be sold at moderate cost or founl at a bargain in second hand stores. A few days ago I visited San Antonio, the metropolis of Texas, where the incimations of the people are paramount to law and the ordinary restrictions rest but lightly on enjoy more liberty than any people ] have ever encountered. A catholicity of sentiment pervades every sphere, and what would be an unusual thing in oth- CT cities does not even excite comment except from strangers. Y
 T walked into a big gambling house, and was almost speechless for mo- ment on seeing number of women seated at a keno table. But was soon told that it was very common thing. It was in this place that the game of keno is played by electricity. Two and three hundred people can play at the same time by means of the apparatus. The players are seated at two long ta- bles on either side. At the end of the hall Is a large rack which is connected by electrical wires with button-board or keyboard. As the dealer turns the cards, the operator touches this or that button or wkey, and a number falls in the rack corresponding to each key or button pressed and to the cards, as they are turned from the deck. The num- bers are clearly visible to each player at the two long tables. The advantage afforded is that any number of people can play at the game at the same time. I am told that the system has proven highly satisfactory. When the Anna Held company was in San Antonio the girls almost broke the bank playing keno. It is a question in my mind now as to how far a reach it is to playing poker or shooting craps by electricity New Orleans Times Democrat.
