PROPER TREATMENT OF PNEUMO-
 MA.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneumo- mia always results from a cold of from an attack of the grip, and that by giv- ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. DF w. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is also a druggist, says of it: "I have been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotten the best results" Sold by R.

THE HOME CIRCLE.
LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

WRITTEN BY CHARLES G. CLARK,
 FOURTEEN YEARS OLD. A PUPIL
 THE UPPER SCHOOL, LONG HILL.
 Abraham Lincoln was born in Ken lucky, February F, 1909. His father, Thomas Lincoln, was very poor man. At an early age the Lincoln family moved west and settled in Indiana. Young Lincoln had to help his father build a log cabin. Lincoln had now hard trial to bear, for his mother was taken sick from exposure and died. A few months later, Thomas Lincoln brought home a new wife. She was a thrifty intelligent woman and tried hard to help young Lincoln. He re- ceived a years schooling in a poor country schoolhouse. Until Lincoln was twenty, hls father hired him out to all kinds of work, where he gener- ally received S6 month and some times 3lc day. Just before he be- came of age, the Lincoln family again moved west but this time into lll1- nois. Lincoln now made journey to New Orleans. While here he happened to attend slave auction and he was very indignant at the treatment of the slaves. Lincoln now returned home and while there, he bargained with Mrs Nancy Miller to split 400 rails for every yard that she needed to make him a pair of trousers. 1t took 14OO rails, pretty high price for a pair of pants. Lincon now went into a store as clerk and while here he gained the nickname of "Honest Abe. " On one occasion, it is said that a wo- man came into the store and paid Lin- coin six cents too much for some arti- cle she had bought. After the store was closed Lincoln walked to the wo- mans home, tthree miles away, and paid her the money. He now went to the Black Hawk war as captain of a company of volunteers. When he re- turned he began to study law. After he was admitted to the bar he was made member of the Illinois Legis- lature in 1884. In 1858 he was nomi- hated by the republican party as sen- ator against Stephen A. Douglas: He was defeated but in the debates with his opponent he had gained national reputation. In 1860, Lincoln was nom. mated for the Presidency. He was elected and took the oath of office March 4, 1861. During LincOln'S ad- ministration, the great Civil War was carried on and ended in 1865. The cause of this war was slavery and the South wished to withdraw from the

his representations concerning the

extend the tobacco monopoly so as to
include manufactured tobacco. He
urged the fair treatment of American
interests and adequate compensation
in the event of a monopoly being Gre

gave his satisfactory assurances. Amer
