large spring about 100 yards from the
| log cabin in which Lincoln was born.
In its present state the tract embraces
| 10 acres, and is cut in twain by a
broad thoroughfare, picturesque to a
degree. and winding through as lovely
spot as heart could wish to know.
Two miles to the north is the nearest
town, Hodgenville, typical Kentucky
village, with population of about
LOCO A branch of the Illinois Central
connects 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 he had
earned as a carpenter. In 1914 joint
deed was made by Thomas Lincoln and
Nancy Lincoln. At the time the farm
came into the family of Lincoln, Thorn
as Lincoln was not yet 25, showing that
he was man possessed of more than
ordinary thrift, instead of careless and
shiftless, as some biographers have seen
proper to picture him.
In general contour the land is much
broken. and for this reason alone is an
ideal place for national park. There
are pretentious knobs which could be
converted into park ornamentatlon at
comparatively little cost. Extending
along the road is rectangular rale
which could easily be converted into a
lake affording excellent boating facilities.
OF course the original farm as titled by
Thomas Lincoln, was not nearly so large
as the present place, being only about
six acres cleared in the immediate vicin-
ity of the cabin for cultivation. The
balance of the tract was perfect will
derness, inhabited only by wild animals.
1t was only short time before Lincoln
bought the land that Daniel Boone sue
ceeded in driving out the Indians.
The site of the old cabin where was
installed those ideas of truth and high
minded personal integrity that made
Lincoln a man among men, is 500 yards
west of the road and is reached by a
much worn path that winds crookedly
over the hills. The cabin was built on
gentle slope commanding view of
all the surrounding country, affording
panorama of rich harvest fields and
woodlands rarely equalled. The cabin
was taken to the Columbian exposition
in 1898, but was returned to its orig
inal site in 1895. 1t was again moved
to the Nashville exposition and later to
Central park, New York, where it is
now. The site of the cabin is marked
by flag pole erected about five years
ago.
The most beautiful spot on the entire
farm is the clear, cold spring that gushes
from the side of hill in stream three
inches in diameter. Walls of solid rock
rise on two sides of the spring and for
distance of fifteen feet the stream
flows over floor of natural stone and
then disappears through a fissure. 1t
cannot be traced further, and is suppos-
ed to empty into some subterranean
lake. The spring is inclosed by giant
trees, under the shade of which Lincoln
played as boy, and which still pro-
tects the waters from the fierce glare
of the monday sun.
Since the above was put into type
the home has been sold. r. j. Collier
bid it in for $500. There were several
bidders on hand.

BUTTER is GlLT-EDGED.
That Examined by the Commission
Yesterday Scored High.

FROM lnurSdayS s Daily.
The highest butter scores of all con-
tests of the Minnesota dairy and food
commission are those in the contests
which closed Yesterday OF l45 entries
thirty-seven were over %, and the aver
age was 931s.
So near perfection was the prize tub
of butter, that of John Grosser of West
brook, that the butter experts at first
planned to mark it 100, but fearing that
some time in the future history OF Mime
sofa slightly better tub of butter might
be found, decided to mark it SO. This
is the highest score made in all contests
held bv the commission. The winners of
the contest follow:
First prize, $5-John Grosser, West
rbook, score, 80.
Second, So j. Reimers, Glencoe,
score, 81.
Third, $2-Peter Christensen, Olivia;
score, 96$4.
Herman Meiser of Westbrook scored
9S$4, but since the butter came from the
creamery of Mr.. Grosser, who won the
firsft prize, he was not given any prize.
''This is an excellent lot of butter"
said J, C. Joslin, butter expert of the
commission. "While the average score
was not the highest, there were more
real high scores than at an previous CON

ANOTHER NORTH-SOUTH ROAD
Des Moines and Northern Viii Build

The Des Moines, Iowa Falls & North

Minneapolis. Representatives of the
line have canvassed tn Getty seeking
data as 10 whether it would be profit
able to invade this territory. To save
the expensive item of terminals, it is
possible the company may build to the
city limits and negotiate for station and
terminal facilities with some other line.
The matter has been taken up active
ly with the leading business men and
it is likely that plans will be carried
through to give the city another outlet
to the southwest and the Iowa capital.

INAUGURATION BALLS.
The First Was MadisOn's, Saturday
Evening, March A, 1909.

-Four hundred guests, as all the con-
temporaneous accounts agree, gathered
at the first Inauguration ball, which
took place on the evening of Saturday,
March 4, 1S09 at Mr.. Longs hotel, on
Capitol hill, in celebra ton of the ac-
cession to the presidency of James
Madison. Each Of the three presidents
who had preceded him In Office had
been permitted to close the day of his
inauguration by going early to bed.
General Washington and John Adams
had been inaugurated at temporary
capitols, and Thomas Jefferson would
have rebelled against ceremony
plainly modelled upon the customs of
royalty, but when Madison's inaugu-
ration came the new federal city had
been visible fact for nine years and
was determined to assert a right to
enjoy itself. Even In doing so 1t fol-
lowed habit always hitherto associ-
ated with the celebration of the coro-
nation Of kings.
Royal customs were really the only
ones the people knew, for every Amer
lean In Washington over thirty-two
years of age had been born the subject
of king, and the new order Of things
had not given birth to new ideas Of
how to manifest rejoicing. Moreover,
if the method chosen seems to some to
have been an imitation of monarchical
customs, they should reflect in extern
uation that it Is an instinct Of man
coequal with his feeling the sensation
of pleasure to show his joy by dancing.
So an official ball closed the day of
Madison's Inauguration and has closed
the Inauguration day Of every presi-
dent who has succeeded him.-Gail-
lard Hunt in Century.
Milk Veins OF q Good Cow.
The milk veins found along the stom.
ach of the COW should be very tortuous.
They wind about on the belly and pass
into the body through orifces in the
rear of the fore flank, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Their duty is to convey
the venous blood to the lungs for
publication. Hence the larger the
veins the better indication it is that
the circulation Of the blood through the
udder is very large, and naturally the
larger the circulation Of the blood the
greater will be the milk production,
because milk, after all. is really prod
net OF the blood.

BIuRed and Lost.

An English nobleman was once pres
ent at church service when a collec-
ton was announced for some charitable
object.
The plate began to go round, and the
duke carefully put his hand into his
pocket and took out form, which he
laid on the edge of the pew desk be-
fore him ready to be transferred to the
plate.
Beside him sat a little snob, who,
noticing this action, initiated 1t by os-
tentatiously laying a sovereign along
side the ducal form.
This was too much for his grace, who
dipped his hand into his pocket again
and pulled out another form, which he
laid by the side of the first. The lit
tie snob followed suit by laying another
sovereign beside the first.
His grace quickly added a third for
in, which was capped by a third sover-
eign on the part Of the little snob. Out
came fourth form to swell the dukes
donation. and then the little snob tri-
umphantly laid three sovereigns at
once upon the board.
The duke, not to be beaten, produced
three forms.
Just at that moment the plate ar
rived. The little snob took up his
handful Of sovereigns and ostentatious-
~ ratified them into the plate. The
duke, with grim smile, put one form
into the plate and quietly swept the re-
naming six back into his pocket.-Lon
