Abraham Lincoln was born in
Larne county, Kentucky, ..Februa-
ry IL, 1909. His mother and faith
er were poor. They had an old
table, some stools and a bed of
leaves. There were no stores near
so they could not buy cloth to
make clothes, so his mother wove
the cloth for his clothes and spun
the yarn for his stockings. He
loved to read and study. He bor-
rowed a book. 1t was the life of
Washington. He read it day and
night and took it to bed with him.
He was brave and good boy. He
was never afraid to do right, and
when he was man he helped the
negroes to be free. He was shot
by man named John Wilkes
Booth. We keep his birthday
every February. because no one
has done SO much for our country
as he did.

ington drew picture with his

Mrs. Betsy Ross, a good milliner,
who made bonnets for the Quaker
ladies of Philadelphia. Washing
ton told her to make the stripes
red and white and the stars white
on blue sky. aud told her to
make the stars si1-pointed,. She
said, mo, they should be five
pointed Stars in the sky seem to
have only five points" And she
folded a piece of paper and with
one cut of her scissors made per-
feet five-pointed star. So Wash-
ington and his friend gave up and
said the stars should have FIVE
points. Then in her own little
home she cut out and made the
FIRST flag with the stars and stripes.
The stars and the stripes stand for
our beautiful free country, and its
freedom which we all love so dear.
ly The red in the stripes means
"Be pure" and the blue square
means BE true"
Agnes Debus-6th grade, room 3.
In Kentucky there stood little
log cabin. 1t had no fancy win
dows or doors as our houses do
now. In this little cabin there
was hole in one side for a win
dow and one on the other side for
a door. Mrs. Lincoln hung a bear
skin over each OF the holes. There
were large cracks in the wall cf
the house. One cold day in Feb.
ruary, 1909, little boy came to
live in this house. He learned to
love the birds. the bees, and the
flowers. When Abraham was five
years old his mother sent him to
school. He studied SO hard that
he was at the head OF his class in a
few days. Men and women went
to this school too. They all stud
led from one book and that was a
spelling book. Abraham would
take his mothers shovel and write
bis lesson on it with a charred
stick. All the school boys liked
him because he would get upon a
stump and make speeches to them
while they sat on the ground at
recess and noon. The school was
held in little meeting house.
When there was no school he
would go with his father on long
journeys through the woods hunt
ing wild turkeys. At last Mr..
Lincoln sold the little cabin and
built raft to go down the river to
find new home. Abraham saw
the negroes whipped and the little
ones sold to go far away from
their parents. 1t made him sad
whenever he thought about them
and wished he could do something
to set them free, but he was only
a poor boy and could do. nothing.
He once got a place in a store and
one day lady came in to do some
trading and through mistake he
cheated her out of pound of tea
and he walked six miles to give it
back to her. Abraham was so no.
BILE, brave and true that our coun-
try honored him bv makings him

When Abraham Lincoln WAS a
little boy he liked to study. Ore
day he walked twelve miles to bor-
row book to read by light from a
pine knot or candle. He put his
book between the logs when he
went to sleep. In the night it
showed on it and soiled it. He
told the man he let the book get
wet, 80 the man said he must pay
for it. Abraham said he didn't
have any money and the man said
he must work in tho corn field
three days, so he worked till he
paid for the book. Then he gave
Lincoln the. book. He only went
to school year, but his mother
taught him at home after his work
was done. She would tell him
and his little sister stories she had
read. He read and got to be a
good scholar. When he grew to
be man he became the president
of the United States. The people
of the United States were having
trouble at that time about the
slaves. Lincoln did not believe
in slavery, SO they were freed. The
negroes thought Mr.. Lincoln the
very best man on earth. He was
sho. in theater and died April
Is, 1865.

Abraham Lincoln was a poo,
little boy. His mother cooked in
a big iron kettle set on fire OF
twigs. They called this dutch
oven. He went to school when
he WAS five years old. He walked
two miles. He had no slate and
pencils, so he usel his mother S
coal shovel for slate and stick
of burned wood for pencil. His
mother helped him all she could,
but his father could neither read
nor write. Abraham loved to stu
dy and got to be lawyer, and a
very good one, TOO. He was loved
and trusted by every one, 80 he
was chosen president of the Unit
ed States. Mr.. Lincoln lived in
the white house at Washington
and the people wanted him presi-
dent again, so he stayed at the
white house and tried to get the
North and South to be friends.
He was shot and killed and all the
people mourned for him.
