ing an original and interesting plot for story, play or poem.
 In their brilliant comic opera, Robin Hood Reginald DeKoven and Harry B.. Smith have proven that any theme, how ever old, can be made over into new and attractive song and story when trans muted into gold by the alchemy of fer tile imagination
 Robin Hood, the bold outlaw who with his merry men in their suits of Lincoln green, led such free and happy life in Sherwood forest, was a romantic fig ure way back in the time of good Kins Richard of the Lions Heart. Since then his name is famous in song and story in every century down to our own time Even today the children of every age thrill to the fanced sound of his bugle call, summoning his brave followers to his aid in time of need. Sir Walter Scott paints in vivid lines the bold and merry Robin Hood in his famous Ivanhoe. It has remained for America to immortalize Englands s famous outlaw in the beautiful comic opera, Robin Hood" which has already stood the test of nearly decade, and still retains it's music and charm.

Hans Robert plays the title role, and he makes his appear ance here with New York Cfty's cordial recommendation. The company is large.

dent of the United States.
Abe usually did the milling for the
family and had the neighbor boy, Dave
Turnham, for his companion. AT first
they had to go long distance, at least
twelve or thirteen miles, to Hoffman's,
on Anderson's creek, but after awhile
a Mr.. Gordon the husband of Sister
Gordon, about whom the witty piece
was written), built horse mill within
a few miles of the Lincolns. Here Abe
had come one day with a grist, and
Dave probably with him. He had duly
hitched his old mare and started her
with great impatience when, just as
he was sounding another ''cluck" to
stir up her imperturbable and lazy
spirit, she let out with her heels and
laid Abe sprawling and insensible on
the ground. He was taken up in that
condition ana did not recover for many
minutes, but the first use made of re-
turning sense was to finish the inter
rupted "cluck."
Whites Temperance Article.
Mr.. William Wood, already referred
to as Uncle Wood, was a genuine
friend and even patron of Abes. He
lived only about mile and half from
the Lincolns and frequently had both
Thomas Lincoln and Abe to work for
'him-the one as rough carpenter and
the other as a common laborer. He
says that Abe was in the habit Of car
rying "his pieces" to him for criticism
and encouragement. Mr.. Wood took at
least two newspapers, one of them de-
voted to politics and one of them to
temperance. Abe borrowed them both
and, reading them faithfully over and
over again, was inspired with an ar
dent desire to write something on the
subjects of which they treated. He ac-
cordingly composed an article ON tenn
peranee, which Mr.. Wood thought tex
celled, for sound sense, anything that
the paper contained" 1t was forward
ed, through the agency of Baptist
preacher, to an editor in Ohio, by
whom it was published, to the infinite
qualification Of Mr.. Wood and his pro-
tege.
Abe then tried his hand on national
politics, saying that ''the American gov
ernment was the best form of gov
ernment for an intelligent people; that
it ought to be kept sound and preserved
forever; that general education should
be fostered and carried all over the
country; that the constitution should be
saved, the Union perpetuated and the
laws revered, respected and enforced"
This article was consigned, like the
other, to Mr.. Wood, to be ushered by
him before the public. A lawyer named
Pritchard Glanced to pass that way

a BE and Gentry returned from
~ New Orleans some time in
June, 1923. having been gone
not quite three months. How
much longer he remained in the service
Of Gentry, or whether he remained at
all, we are unable to say, but he soon
took up his old habits and began to
work around among his neighbors or
:or his father, precisely as he had done
before he got his partial glimpse Of the
great world down the river.
In the fall Of 1890 AIr Wood saw him
cutting down large tree in the woods
and whipsawing it into planks. Abe
said the lumber was for a new house
his father was about to build, but
Thomas Lincoln changed his mind be-
fore the house was half done, and Abe
sold his plank to Josiah Crawford, ''the
book man." who worked them into the
southeast room of his house, where
relic seekers have since cut pieces from
them to make canes.
In truth, the continued prevalence of
that dreadful disease, the milk sick
ness, was more than a sufficient rea-
son for new removal now in contem-
plation by Thomas Lincoln. It was an
awful scourge, and common prudence
suggested fight. In the spring of $780,
before the winter had fairly broken up,
Thomas and Abe, Dennis Hanks and
Levi Hall, with their respective fami-
lies, thirteen in all, took the road for
Illinois. John Hanks had gone to the
new country from Kentucky in the fall
of 1928 and settled near Decatur,
whence he wrote Thomas Lincoln all
about it and advised him to come there.
Lincoln sold his farm to Gentry and
his corn and hogs to Dave Turnham-
The corn brought only 10 cents a bush
ell, and, according to the price list fur
nished by Dennis Hanks, the stock
must have gone at figures equally
mean.

published in some obscure paper, this
new success causing the author most
extraordinary access Of pride and hap

But in 1928 Abe had become very
tired of his home. He was now nine
teen years Of age and becoming daily
more restive under the restraints Of
servitude which bound him. He was
anxious to try the world for himself
and make his way according to his
own notions.
