They want 1t for ther.selvcs and they want It administered to the rich and powerful. to the trusts and combines and the great corporations which, in many cases. consider them selves above the law.

If that is not done, the law is not fairly administered and Is not impartial

pose the contents of an egg are re-
moved through a hole in II end, and
on the shell is painted a funny face.
Then with Il little ingenuity legs and
arms are attached, and even Il cap
may be added, thus producing a very
comic effect. Equally amusing is an

ing sealing wax and then melted lead
through an opening in one end of an
egg, so that all of the material shall
collect at the other end, the natural
contents having been previously re-
moved by blowing. Then the shell is
painted with a comic face, and a dress
and cap are added. the result being a
figure of fun that will always persist
In sitting upright, no matter how it is

She tells us also that ABE was a sensi-
tive lad, never coming where he was
not wanted that he always lifted his
hat and bowed when he made his ap-
pearance, and that he was tender and
kind, like his sister, who was at the
same time her maid of all work. His
pay was % cents a day, "and when be
missed time he would not charge for
it." This latter remark of good Mrs.
Crawford reveals the fact that her hus-
band was In the habit of docking Abe
on his miserable Wages whel%yer he
happened to lose a few minutCs from
steady work.
The time came, however, when Abe
got his revenge for all this petty brutal
ity. Crawford was as ugly as he was
surly. His nose was a monstrosity,
long and crooked, with a huge, mis-
shapen stub at the end, surmounted
by a host of pimples. and the whole as
blue as the usual state Of Mr.. Craw-
ford's spirits. Upon this member Abe
leveled his attack in rhyme, song and
chronicle, and, though he could not re-
duce the nose, he gave 1t a fame as
wide as to the Wabash and the Ohio.
1t is not improbable that he learned the
art of making the doggerel rhymes in
which he celebrated Crawford's nose
from the study Of Crawford's own
kentucky P%receptor." At all events
his sallies upon this single topic achiev-
ed him great reputation as a poet and
q wit and caused Crawford intolerable
anguish.

vogue among the Pigeon Greek boys.
Abe was especially formidable as a
wrestler, and from about 1898 onward
there was no man far or hear that
would give him a match. Cat throw
ing the MALL" hopping and -four
+ bull pen" were likewise athletic
games in high honor.
All sorts of frolics and all kinds of
popular gatherings, whether for work
or amusement, possessed irresistible at
fractions for Abe. He loved to see and
be seen. to make sport and to enjoy it.
1t was a most important part of his ed
ucation that he got at the corn shuck-
ings. the log rollings, the shooting
matches and the gay and jolly we'd
dings Of those early border times. He
was the only man or boy within a wide
compass who had learning enough to
furnish the literature for such occa-
sions. and those who failed to employ
his talents to grace or commemorate
the festivities they set on foot were
sure to be stung by some coarse but
humorous lampoon from his pen
In the social way he would not suffer
himself to be sighted with impunity,
and if there were any who did not en-
joy his wit they might content them
selves with being the subjects of it.
Unless he received some very pointed
intimation that his presence was not
wanted he was among the first and
earliest at all the neighborhood routs,
and when his tall. angular figure was
seen towering among the hunting shirts
it was considered due notice that the
fun was about to commence.

nifty it gave him of being in the COM
pany of Mrs. Crawford, for whom he
had a genuine attachment, for she was
nothing that her husband was and ev-
erything that he was not. According to
her account. he split rails, plowed,
thrashed and did whatever else he was
ordered to do, but she distinctly affirms
that abe was no hand to pitch into
work like killing snakes" He went
about it calmly and generally took the
opportunity to throw Crawford down
two or three times before they went to
the field.
1t is fair to presume that when Abe
managed to inveigle his disagreeable
employer into a tussle he hoisted him
high and threw him hard, for he felt
that he had no reason to be careful of
his bones. After meals Abe hung
about, fingered long to gossip and joke
with the women; and these pleasant,
stolen conferences We're generally bro

the long legged hired boy would stride

Abe as a Wrestler.

AS practiced on this wild border, 1t
was a solitary, unsociable way of
spending time which did not suit his
nature, and, besides, it required more
exertion than he was willing to make
without due compensation. 1t could not
be said that Abe WAS indolent, for he
was alert, brisk, active, about every
thing that he made up his mind to do.
His step was very quick, and, when he
had a sufficient object in view, he
strobe out on his long, muscular legs,
swinging his bony arms as he moved
along with an energy that put miles be-
hind him before a lazy fellow like Den
mis- Hanks or John Johnston could
make up his mind to start. But when
he felt that he had time to spare he
preferred to give it to reading or to
talk, and of the two he would take
the latter, provided he could find a per-
son who had something new or racy to
say. He liked excessively to hear his
own voice when it was promoting fun
and good fellowship, but he was also
a most rare and attentive listener.

cupation for him.

Longest and Strongest.

only the longest but the strongest man
in the settlement. Some of his feats
almost surpass belief. and those who
literally amazed. Richardson, a neigh
Dor, declares that he could carry Il load
to which the strength of three ordina-
ry men would scarcely be equal. He
saw him quietly pick up and walk
away with "a chicken house made of
poles pinned together and covered that
weighed at least 600, If not much
more"
At another time the Richardson's were
building Il corncrib. Abe was there,
and, seeing three or -four men preparing
sticks upon which to carry some huge
posts, he relieved them of all further
trouble by shouldering the posts sin
gle handed Ind walking away with
them to the place where they were
wanted. "He could strike with n MALL"
says old Mr.. Wood. "a heavier blow
than any man. He could sink an ak
deeper into wood than any man l aver
saw"
For hunting purposes the Pigeon
Creek region was one Of the most in
viting on earth. The uplands were all
covered with an original growth of ma
jestic forest trees, while Oh the hill
sides and wherever an opening in the
woods permitted the access of sunlight
there were beds of fragrant and beau
tiful wild flowers, presenting, in cor
trast with the dense green around
them, the most brilliant and agreeable
effects. Here the game had vast and
secluded ranges, which, until very re-
Gently, had heard the report of no white
mans gun.
In Abe's time the squirrels, rabbits,
cartridges and other varieties of small
err game We're so abundant as to be Il
nuisance. They devastated grainfields
and gardens, and, while they were sell
dom shot for the table, the settlers fire.
quently devised the most cunning
means of destroying them in great
quantities in order to save the growing
crops. Wild turkeys and deer We're the
principal reliance for food, but besides
these were the bears, the wildcats and
the %panthers. The scream of the latter.
the most %ferocious and bloodthirsty of
the cat kind, FASTENED Abe's homeward
steps on ma.ly IL dark night as he came
late from Dave ~Turnham's, "Uncle"
Woods or the Gentryville grocery.
That terrific cry appeals not only to the
natural fear of the monsters teeth and
claws, but, heard in the solitude Of
night and the forest, it awakens a feel
ing of superstitious horror that chills
the heart of the brayest.
Everybody about Abe made hunting
q part of his business. His father and
Dennis Hanks doubtless RECALLED Abe
continually with wonderful stories of
their luck and prowess, but he was no
hunter himself and did not care to
learn. 1t is true that when a mere
child he made q fortunate shot at a
flock of wild turkeys through a crack
in the wall Of the half faced cabin"
and that when grown up he went for
coons occasionally with Richardson or
watched deer licks with Turnham, but
a true and hearty sportsman he never
was.
