A GREAT AMERICAN
Inspiration In the Life and Character of Abraham
Lincoln-His Wonderful Political Career

The twelfth day Of February. in the
year 1909, was a day Of great import
to the United States, for it was on
that day that Abraham Lincoln came
into the world, says a writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The place of his
birth, unmarked today save for a rude
Flagstaff, was in Hardin county, Ken
lucky, known o as LaRue county.
No great man was ever born into a
humber home.
Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abra-
ham, had married a handsome girl
named Nancy Hanks in 1906, and
there was a little girl named Sarah
in the family when the little Abraham
was born.
The homely little boy, born in the
rude log cabin of a single room, that
\eventful day, came to an inheritance
1of poverty and toll, neither of which
gave him a great deal of concern be-
cause he had also inherited a wonder
fully cheerful spirit, and he had the
happy faculty of seeing the humorous
side of every situation in life.
Lincoln. was a boy Of but v
years when his father, who had m
thing of a restless spirit, followed a
brother of his, named Joseph, to
Spencer county, Indiana, and located

until the fatal fourteenth of April
1865, Abraham Lincoln lived for his
country and he was ready to die for it.
His nomination for the presidency
had been predicted before he had any
aspirations for that Office. When the
subject was first preached to him he
said: Whats the use Of talking of
me for the presidency whilst we have
such men as Seward Chase and
others, who are so much better known
to the people, and whose names are
so intimately associated with princi-
pies of the Republican party? Every
body knows them; nobody scarcely
outside of Illinois knows me. = I
am not insensible to the compliment
you pay me, but there Is no such
good luck in store for M as the pres
idency of the United States"
The good luck" was on the side of
the United States when Abraham Lin
coin was finally elected president.
Not in all the union was there a man
better fitted to hold that Office during
the perilous days of the civil war,
and when the war was over the people
felt that Lincoln was the only man
who could heal the wounds of the
nation and bring real peace and har-
mony out of the bitter strife that had
lasted for four fearful years. His
assassination filed the land with the
gloomiest forebodings and plunged the
country into the hitterest grief 1t had
ever felt over the death 81 IN in.

on a farm in the wilderness within a
mile or two Of G~entryville.
\ Abraham Lincoln was nine years
old when his mother died in her home
in the Indiana wilderness, and was
buried In the rude casket her grief
stricken husband had fashioned with
his own hands. Left a widower with
but natural that he should want to
give them a second mother. and af-
ter fifteen months Of widowhood he

young widow with three children,
Sally Bush Johnson, who vas far
removed from the typical stepmother.
Lincoln grew to manhood In In

side world. with the exception Of such
fieeting glimpses as he caught Of 1t
while working as boatman and ferry
man on the Ohio and Mississippi riv-
ers. He earned the first dollar he
ever possessed while working as a
.fboatman. When he was about 10
years of age he hired out ito work

produce, bound for New Orleans. He

while on this trip. This was his first
glimpse Of the world Of which he was
to form such an important part In the
years to come.

ing in the brief Black Hawk war.
Lincoln kept store in New Salem, Illi-
nois, and it was in this place that he
fell in love and became engaged to
pretty Ann Rutledge, a girl of seven
teen years, who died DON after the
engagement. This IA a sharp blow
to a man Of Lincoln's affectionate ma
ture, and years later he could not
speak Of it without tears in nis eyes.
1t was after leaving New Salem and
while studying and practicing law in
Springfield that Lincoln met Mary
Todd, who became his wife. She was
of a somewhat Jealous and exacting
disposition, and there were plenty Of
lovers quarrels during the courtship.
Indeed, the engagement was broken,
but 1t was finally renewed and the
couple were married on the fourth
day Of November in the year 1912, and
began their married life in Spring
field.
It would take many columns to give
anything like a comprehensive &C
count of the political career of Abra-
ham Lincoln. 1t was almost newt
able that a man of his force Of ar
acter, his patriotism and his interest
In the welfare Of the nation should
drift into politics. We find him run
ming as a candidate for the State As
sembly Of Illinois in 1882 and suffering
a defeat that did not depress him in
the least; It was after this defeat that
he and a partner bought the store In
New Salem. In 1884. lincoln again
