LlNcoLNs FoREFATHERs.
A Strain OF Tragedy Runs Through
Their History.

Abraham Lincoln's forefathers wero
piOneers-men who left their homes to
open up the wilderness and make the
way plain for others to follow them.
For 40 years, ever since the first
American Lincoln came from England
to Massachusetts, In 1868, they had
been moving slowly westward as new
settlements were made in the forest.
They faced solitude, priyation and all
the dangers and lardships that beset
men who take up their homes where
only beasts and wild men have had
homes before, but they continued to
press steadily forward, though they
lost fortune and sometimes even life
itself In their westward progress.
Back in Pennsylvania and New Jer.
sey some Of the LincOlns had been men
OF wealth and influence. In Kentucky,
where the future president was horn
on Feb. ~, 1909, his parents lived In
deep poverty. Their home was a small
log cabin Of the rudest kind, and moth
ing seemed more unlikely than that
their child, coming into the world In
such humble surroundings, was des-
tined to be the greatest man of his
time. True to his race he also was to
be a pioneer, not. indeed, like his an
cestors, a leader into new woods and
unexplored fields, but a pioneer Of a
nobler and gTander sort directing the
thoughts Of men ever toward the right
and leading the American people
through difficulties and dangers and a
mighty war to peace and freedom.
The story Of this wonderful man be-
gins and ends with a tragedy, for his
grandfather, also named Abraham, was
killed by a shot from an Indians rife
while peaceably at work with his three
sons on the edge of their frontier clear
ing Eighty-one years later the presl-
dent himself met death by an assas-
sins bullet. The murderer Of one was
a savage Of the forest; the murderer Of
the other that far more cruel thing, a
savage Of clvillzation.--St. Nicholas.

Don't Forget Good there is in Life.

While the air is filled with
gloomy stories Of graft, of dishon-
esty in high places, of bosses and
their satellites who have plundered
the public, of divorces, scandals
and wrecked homes, let us not for
get that as people we are no
worse than our forefathers, while
there is good ground for the belief
that the race may have improved
IN moral tore and manly vieor.
There have been corrupt men,
evil men, in all times and in all
lands. A thousand years ago
stories of graft, of corruption, of
evil ini,s manifold forms, disturbed
and distressed the people of ma
t1ons long since dead and gone.
Through the thousands of years to
come, while nations rise, flourish
and decay, the bosses will continue
to mount the slippery steps of moral
depravlty to power and the voice of
the reformer will cry out during
the countless years against the op-
pressor's wrong, even as it cries
out now.
We talk of the desire to get rich
quick as though it were a new dis
ease Implanted only in the minds
Of the people now On earth, a form
OF spiritual decay entirely unknown
in other ages. The hunger for
riches is as old as life itself, as
widespread as want.
Corrupt men may mount the
ladder of financial success until
they stand at the top as leaders in
insurance, in finance, in politics,
but the slow-moving, patient pub
lic-the honest, sound, wholesome
members of society - eventually
tears the masks from their faces
and sends them to prison cells or
makes of them pariahs, cast out by
clean society.

Prefer Dry Land Farming

1t is surprising, in view of the
sure-thing opportunities afforded
bv intensive farming. that so many
homeseekers who come west prefer
dry-land farms. 1t is not because
they are unused to diversified farm
ing, for most of them have always
rotated their crops and dealt in live
stock, poultry and the products of
the dairy. And yet nine out of ten
will examine an irrigated section,
get prices and turn to the dry lands
for investment. 1t is the western
men who are demonstrating the
possibilities of small irrigated tracts
as sure MI oney makers. 1t is the
western men who are making more
than living easily, and without
worry on the small five to fifty acre
tracts. Several reasons may lie
assigned for hesitancy on the part
Of eastern people to try something
new, among which are a lack of
knowledge concerning the posi-
bilities of intensive farming, the
comparatively high price rer acre
asked for small tracts, and the fact
that the exclusive wheat farmers
of the Pacific Northwest are almost
ertain of a never-failing crop.
Without doubt the dry-land farm
ers are making money, and there
is no reason to doubt that they will
continue to do SO. 1t is a fact,
however, that the man who is not
dependent upon the success of any
one crop can sleep the soundest.
The small-tract man, who is his
own rainmaker, has a distinct ad-
vantage over the one dependent
entirely upon nature. He can sup
ply his table with the very best of
everything, work reasonable hours
and be sure of a fair price and a
ready sale for his surplus. The
original cost of the land nsr acra
may appear large at first, but the
ease with which the debt is reduced
and eventually wiped out is aston
ishing. Eastern men will do we'll
to investigate closely before turn

ition.-Northwest Homeseeker.
