LlNCOLN'S FOREFATHERS.
A Strain of Tragedy Runs Through
Their History.

Abraham Lincoln's forefathers were
pioneers-men who left their homes to
open up the wilderness and make the
way plain for others to follow them.
For ITO years, ever since the first
American Lincoln came from England
to Massachusetts, in 1888, they had
been moving slowly westward as new
settlements were made in the forest.
They faced solitude, privation and all
the dangers and hardships that beset
men who take up their homes where
only beasts and wild men have had
homes before, but they continued 70
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 born
on Feb. Y, 1909, his parents lived in
deep poverty. Their home was 4 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 pioneer. not, indeed, like his an
cestors, leader into new woods and
unexplored fields, but a pioneer of
nobler and grander sort, directing the
thoughts of men ever toward the right
and leading the American people
through difficulties and dangers and q
mighty war to peace and freedom.
The story Of this wonderful man be-
gins and ends with tragedy, for his
grandfather, also named Abraham, was
killed by a shot from an Indians rifle
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, 4
savage of ciyiliZation.-St. Nicholas

Russian Affairs.

The people of Russia seem to be slow
ly but surely drifting into political
chaos. There are at least three factions
there-the Reds or Radicals or Social
lists who want to pull down or upset
everything; the Moderates, led by Witte
and the Gear, who wish to establish a
Limited or Constitutional monarchy
but who seem to move too slowly to
head off the radicals; and the old Grand
Ducal or Autocratic faction who wish
things as they were and find fault with
the Gar for not using the force yet at
his command.
The mutiny in the army and navy at
Sebastopol, last week, was quelled by
force, and is said to have cost the lives
of 5000 men, but disaffection is reported
in the army and navy at all points in
cludlng the Royal guards at the Car 8
country palace, and besides this the
Government has run short of money,
the railroaders, telegraph operators and
postal employees are on a strike,
and things look blue" in Russia.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Paris ''Matin" describes the sinister
aspect of the Russian capital. He saws
that patrols are everywhere, that the
doors and windows of Ecuses are closed,
that stores are barricaded and that Co.'S
sacks are camping in the streets.
IT is worthy of note that none of the
great states have been carrying a sur
plus fund in their treasury anything
like that Of Pennsylvania Illinois
funds in the Treasurer's hands at one
time range from $10O, 900 to $4,000, 900.
New York's general fund is something
over S4,000.000 and the canal fund a
little over %. 900, 900, but may be in
creased to $15,000,O00 or $50. 1000. 600;
this, however, is for specific purpose.
Ohio's funds for deposit averaged ST.
$40, 900 last year. Missouri has little
over s2.000,000. Massachusetts, de-
posits range from 81, 900, 900 to $5, 0OO,-
600. Ii Pennsylvania fund was kept
within reasonable measure of the States
needs the danger of great surplus be-
ing available for political or personal
manipulation would be most effectively
removed.
