GIFT OF THE sTUDEsAKERs.

r a. QUIGLEY, local manager for
-. the Studebaker Bros. company
of South Bend. Ind. received a tele-
gram on New Years day announcing a
gift of 5000 600 from the company to
the Young Mems Christian association
of South Bend in commemoration of
the company's fiftieth business ami
versary.
The gift is one of the notable bene-
factions of a notable house. While
only one of the original founders of
the company survives. the story of Its
generosity and public service Is evil
IDENTIFY to be continued indefinitely.
Always progressive. the Studebakers
have maintained a constant interest. in
educational and practical religious
work through days OF adversely as well
as of afiluence. In Indiana the name is
Synonymous with good citizenship and
applied Christianity; and no one has
refoiced in the tremendous success of
the South Bend concern more than their
neighbors and friends who have seen
their good works in every walk of life.
It is common for individual Ameri-
cans of wealth to give freely to the
public. but Il is rare for Il corporation

from it's earnings out of pure philan-

whether any corporation in America
has ever given such evidence OF disin-

with pride that the Studebakers have
been identified for years with the bush

this city and state.

In little graveyard close to the edge
Of the town rests the body of Abraham
Lincoln's sweetheart. says the Gentry
vile, Ind, Correspondent of the St
Louis Republic This fact has just
recently come TO light. Four years
ago. Mrs. Elizabeth Bryant died at the
age of 81 years. and it was only in the
last few years that anyone, even in the
neighbOrhoOd. knew that she could
have been the wife of the great presi-
dent.
Her daughter. Mrs. Rachel Bryant,
woman of 70 years, still lives here,
with her husband. DR.. Bryant, who has
pTacticed medicine in Gentryville for
more than fifty years.
4 have heard my mother talk OF
Lincoln many a time said Mrs. Bry-
ant. My mothers maiden name was
Elizabeth Tuly, and she was consid-
cred the most beautiful woman in
southern Indiana in those days Lin
coin was considered the homeliest man.
My mother never cared anything for
him, and tried to stop his coming to
see her, but he would not stop. I
know you don't want me coming around
to see you he used to say, but can't
help it.
There was no question in my moth
ers mind that Lincoln was deeply in
love with her but she would not mar
~ him. They used to go to spelling
schools and such meetings as they had
in this country in those days, and he
would come ten miles horseback after
my mother.
g g @
4 know she told me many times how
she used to try to run away from him,
but he would ride after her on his big,
rawboned horse, his arms Tapping like
pair Of wings and his long legs point
ing out.
AT that time. Of course, she had no
idea that he would ever be president Of
the United States, but even if she had
known 1t she would never have mar
ried him. She was in love with Ben
HessOn, and she married him after Lin
coin had gone with his parents to Hi
nOiS.

DUCKS FROZEN
IN THE. WATER
Chicago Inter Ocean.l


Every time it gets cold 1 want to
get out on the prairie and hunt ducks, y
said a man to a friend in a downtown
restaurant last Sunday, when the mer-
curry danced about zero. 4 went
duck hunting once and made a repu-
tation for myself that time. and for
the last ten years I've wanted to re-
peat my old trip.
Il was visiting down in the corn belt
one December. The ducks that year
flew across the prairies by the millions.
OF course. most of them had gone fur
Their south by that season Of the year,
but hundreds of them still. remained.
The prairies in those days were dotted
with small ponds. and there was no
end to the shooting season.
Il had been hunting several days
that December, and had not made much
OF a reputation for myself. 1 bagged
a few teals and an occasional spike
tail. and at intervals 1 would bring
down bigger one. Well, one morn
ing I awoke and il was as cold as
Greenland. I thought IL would be use
less to look for winged game that day,
but wanted 20 do a little rabbit shoot
ing I got up, and before breakfast
started out along the hedges and found
a couple of cotton tails. l suppose
l had walked about a mile from the
house when hearu strange uOlSe Ou'
in one of the fields.
Il walked in that direction and soon
saw about a quarter of mile away a
good sized pond. I knew the racket
came from there, and i got over as
fast as my legs could carry me- II
{ live to be 500 years old I'll never forget
the look Of that pond. 1t had frozen
over during the night and hundreds Of
ducks were imprisoned by the sheet OF
ice When they tried TO fly as l came
upon them, the ice held their legs fast
! A few of them did get away but / got
most Of them I didn't fire a shot.
/ Just walked out and dubbed the birds
| to death 1 could hardly step with
out crushing a duck. When 4 got
tired of clubbing them. l began pulling
off their heads, and after working fol
more than an hour / had a pile of game
that would fill a big dump cart.
1T was the greatest hunt 1 ever had
and I don't believe there is a man in
the state that ever bagsed more game
/ in one day. I never counted the birds
! but 1 think 300 would be a very safe
/ estimate of the number l killed.
But those days have passed. The
ponds have been drained, and the
! prairie hunter who can now bag hal
dozen ducks in an all-day hunt con
siders himself pretty lucky

UTAH LAKE DYKES.

z S. JONES. former mayor of Provo,
~ has communicated to The Herald
some ideas about dykirg Utah lake
which seem at least worth trying. Mr..
Jones appreciates that to dyke the lake
from the south side of Lake Shore" on
the south TO beyond Lehi on the north
would involve the expenditure of a
very large sum OF money. Besides,
objections have been made to the sug-
gestion on the ground that it is alto
gether impracticable.
Mr.. Jones believes that it is not, and
he proposes to dyke a little part of the
distance at first in order to demon
state the correctness Of his theory. In
his communication to The Herald, pub
ished last Sunday, he showed that it
would be easy enough to get the dyk-
Ing material and not at all difficult
to put il in place. At the outset only
Z few acres of what is now swamp land
would be reclaimed but in the end
many hundreds of acres could be
brought under profitable cultivation.
While such a result Is greatly TO
De desired anu WOulu uelp materially
IN paying the cost Of constructing the
dyke system. it would not be all profit,
by any means. Indeed. the primary
object of the dykes is to raise the level
of the lake in such a manner as to
hold the flood waters without doing any
damage to land now being cultivated
This object. Mr.. Jones believes. can
be accomplished if the proper spirit
Is shown. It is not necessary to point
put the advantages to Salt Lake and
Utah counties that would follow an in
crease in the water of Utah lake.
An added quantity OF water from
that source of supply would go far
toward settling for all time the water
problem in both counties. The pump
ing plant is a good Improvement, but
1t is expensive to operate and will al
ways be expensive. The dykes. If sue
cessful. will cost money also, but the
expenditure win cease with the orig
lnal outlay.
It will not cost great deal to ex-
pertinent a little with Mr.. Jones plan
and it might result most favorably.

SUNDAY HOLIDAY
IN OLD ENGLAND
baltimore Ameriean.)

Baltimore American)
For a considerable period prior to
the English revolution Sunday was
day of great festivity and high revel-
~ in the old country. Incredible
though it may appear, its observance
was governed and ordered by para
dOxical royal declaration, issued by
King James I. This document is gen
orally known as THE Book of Sports"
In its preamble, it reciteS a royal re-
buke administered to some Puritanes
and precise people" for prohibiting o
unlawful Furnishing of our good people
for using their lawful RecreatiOns and
honest exercises upon Sundays and
other holy days. after the afternOone
sermon or service" and then he refers
to 1.-The general complaint of our peo-
pie, that they were barred from all
lawful Recreation and exercise upon
the SundayeS afternoons, which cannot
but produce two evils; the one, the
hindering of the conversion of many,
whom their priests would take occasion
hereby to Vexe, persuading them that
no honest miTth or recreation is law
fully or tOllerable in our Religion which
cannot but breed a great discomfort
ment in our peoples hearts; the other
! inconvenience is that this prohibition
barTeth the common and meaner sort
OF people from using such exercises as
Ware when we or our successors shall
have occasion to use Them
Then follows the royal mandate that
no lawful Recreation shall be barred
to our good People" and The Bishop
and all other inferior Churchmen and
ChurchWaTdens'' are enjOined 10 bee
I CAREFUL and diligent, both to instruct
the ignorant and convince and reforn1e
them that are misled in religion" Our
tpleaSure likewise is that the Bishop OF
/ the Diocese take the like straight order
with all the PEritans and Precis1ans
/ within the same. either cOnstrain-
/ ing them to cOnforme themselves or to
! leave the country according TO the
Lawes of Our KingdOme and Canons
! Of our Church." The declaration pro-
! ceeds to define lawful Recreation." as
/ Dancing, either by men or women
Archerie for men, leaping. vaulting
. or any other such harmless Recreation,
including May games, Witsun-Ales and
| Morris-dances and the setting up of
/ May poles and other sports Herewith
used. But withall wee doe here account
still as prohibited ali unlawful games to
4 be used upon Sundays onely, as BeaTe
/ and Bull baitings, Interludes, and at
all times in the meaner sort of People
by Law prohibited, Bowling" A penal
ty was inflicted upon those who did not
join in the Sunday sports. and no one
could take part in them without first
having attended divine. service in the
( parish church. which was also enforced
under pain of penalty
In those days the clergyman would in
obedience to the royal decree, publicly
recite the Book of Sports from the
pulpit: after divine service he. with his
church wardens, would proceed with
the congregation to the village green
there to indulge in all kinds of lawful
Recreation" While the sports were
going on it was the custom for the par
son and his church wardens to retire
TO the adjoining inn.

The woman in the boarding house

talked much about the Lincoln family.
She said that when she was a little

was better acquainted with Mr. Lin

Genuyville is a town Of about 450
people. 1t has one long. struggling
street, with one or two cross roads. It
is built on the side of the hill. one part
of it being in the hollow and the other
on the bill. From the station to the
hill part of town il is more than half
a mile, and a long board walk leads. 10

At the bottom of the HILL close to the
railway station. stands the old build
ing in which Lincoln used to be a
clerk. At that time. however. the store
was on the hill. When the railroad
came the building was moved down the
hill, and the place where it stood is
now a tobacco patch.
This store was kept by William
Jones, who was afterwards killed at
the battle of Atlanta while serving as
lieutenant colonel Of the Fifty third
Indiana. Lincoln used to drive around
the country for Jones, and of evenings
would act as clerk in the store
He was a great favorite with the
people around there, and they used to
go up to Jones store to hear Lincoln
speak pieces and argue politics. Sew
eral debates were held in the room
above the stOre-a room that is now
the town haIl-and in all OF these Lin
coin took an active part.
Mr.. Jones was very proud of young
Lincoln and used to say frequently
that he wanted to live long enough to
vote for him for president
In those days there were no other
towns close by, and Lincoln used to
come here frequently. It is said of
him that he was a long, awkward boy,
full of fun and mischief, who could hit
harder, jump farther, run faster and
ride better than any boy of his crowd
While he had friends, he also had en-
emies, but after he got into jones store
he settled down. and when not attend
