the electric light. She changed her BIZ

tea and a biscuit, and then sat down with
brown box on her lap. a faint perfume
as of sandalwoOd greeted her as she un-
locked it and raised the lid. Nothing
there except some bits of seaweed, a few
shells and photograph of a girl, herself
ten years before, and queer ring of dark
metal with the word aloha" engraved
on it.

the pile was greater than before, for

$500.
During the last decade or so many
attempts have been made to perfect
plans looking to the converting of
the property into a national park,
and, while these efforts have aroused
some comment, nothing substantial
has resulted.
The farm derives it's name from a
large spring about 100 yards from
the log cabin in which Lincoln was
born. In its present state the tract
Is cut by a broad picturesque thor
oughfare. Two miles on the north Is
this village, typical of Kentucky,
with a population of about 1000. A
branch of the Illinois Central con-
meets the town with the outside
world, and combination freight and
passenger train makes two trips daily
to Cecilia, seventeen miles away.
The records of Hardin county show
that the farm was bought by Thomas
Lincoln in 1903 with funds which be
had earned as carpenter Thomas
Lincoln was not yet 25, showing that
he was a man possessed of more
than ordinary thrift, instead of care
less and shiftless, as some biograph-
ers have depicted him.

Thomas Hood to sing of it, for long
ago sanitary law took away the ma

thing to stir all England when the

stitching out ones life, may be more
or less matter of course.
But this condition in the State street

thing more than her own soul and

She has sister dying of consumption

But from nearby building some

case shows that under the simplest of
sanitarium ministrations this young
woman could get well.
Sister Has Same Disease.
But there is stitching to be done,
stitching of endless threads into the
endless seams of endless finery, and
unless this young woman keeps up the

her place, someone who will not care

that she has, had tuberculosis for

purchaser. There were three other

OF Chicago, and E. J. McDermott, of
Louisville, representing New York in
terests.
Mr.. Collier will get possession in
December. He has not yet decided
what he will do with it, and proba-

Chicago parties telegraphed to have
the farm bought for them, but the
arrangements could not be perfected

Since the birth of Lincoln, on Feb

hands only twice. Thomas Lincoln,
the father of the President, sold the
land to Richard Creel about the time
