The True Woman.

The qualities which constitute the
true woman are many and varied,
writes Mary Holloway Bergen, and lie
within the casket of her soul like bright
gems, sparkling with rare, intrinsic
beauty. Unaffected simplicity sits as
a brilliant crown upon her brow, virtue
clothes her In snowy white char
fly throws a silvery sheen around her.
her footsteps glide in the rosy paths of
truth, and Justice and kindness strew
her way with beautiful fl)Wers. Gen
tleness lures her on, and she stands be-
fore the world an ideal embodiment of
all the graces.
To be q true oma Is to conquer
every malicious thought and fill the
mind with earnest endeavors to take
up the rough and tangled threads of
life and weave them into Il beautiful
cloth of gold. Patience, perseverance
and well directed thought pave the
way to success. The true woman is
the concentrated essence of all that is
pure and sweet in Gods great labora-
tory.
Her nature Is attuned to the songs of
angels, and, though her feet may
through necessity and environment

The Borderers' Paradise.

Kentucky was then the paradise Of
the borderers' dreams. Fabulous tales
of it's sylvan charms and pastoral beau
ties had for years been floating about.
For awhile it had been known as the
cane country Many expeditions
were undertaken to explore it, two or
three Adventures and occasionally only
one at a time passing down the Ohio in
canoes. But they all stopped short of
the Kentucky river. The Indians were
terrible, and it was known that they
would surrender any other spot of
earth in preference to Kentucky. The
canes that were supposed to indicate
the promised land-those canes of won
drous dimensions that shot up as thick
as they could stand from a soil of in
estimable fertility-were forever re-
ceding before those who sought them.
One party after another returned to
report that, after incredible dangers
and hardships, they had met with no
better fortune than that which had at
tended the efforts of their predecessors,
and that they had utterly failed to find
the Canes At last they were actually
found by Simon Kenton, who stealthily
planted a little patch of corn to see

Thomas Lincoln's ancestors were
among the early settlers of Rocking
ham county. in Virginia. but exact
ly whence they came or the precise
time of their settlement there it is i'm
possible to tell. They were manifestly
of English descent, but whether emf
grants directly from England to Vir.
ginia or an oifShoot of the historic Lin
coin family in Massachusetts or of the
highly respectable Lincoln family in
Pennsylvania is Il question left en-
tirely to conjecture. Thomas Lincoln
himself stourly denied that his progen-
itors were either Quakers or PuritanS,
but he furnished nothing except his
own word to sustain his denial. On The
contrary, some of the family (disrant
relatives of Thomas Lincoln) who -e-
main IN Virginia beleve themselves TO
have sprung from the New England
stock. They found their opinion solely
on the fact that the Christian names
given to the SOM of the two families
were the same, though only in a few
cases and at different times. The pro-
g~enitors of all the American Lincolns
were Englishmen, and they may have
been Puritans. There is, therefore,
nothing unreasonable in the supposition
that they began the practice Of confer
ring such names before the emigration
of any of them, and the names, becom-
ing matters of family pride and family
tradition, have continued to be given
ever since.
DR.. Holland, who, of all Mr.. Lincoln's
biographers. has entered most extern
sively into the genealogy of the family.
, says that the father of Thomas was
named Abraham, but he gives no au-
thority for his statement. The HankseS
John and Dennis-who passed Il great
part of their lives in the company of
Thomas Lincoln, tell us that the name
of his father was Mordecai, and SO also
does Colonel Chapman, who married
Thomas Lincoln's ~stepdaughter. The
rest of those who ought to know are
unable to assign him any name at all.
DR.. Holland says further that this
Abraham Tor MordecaD had fou broth
ers-Jacob, John, Isaac and Thomas;
that Isaac went to Tennessee, where
his descendants are now; that Thomas
went to Kentucky after his brother
| Abraham, but that Jacob and John
are supposed to have remained in
Virginia.
This is doubtless true, at least so far
as it relates to Jacob and John, for
there are numerous Lincolns in Rock
ingham county, the place from which
the Kentucky Lincoln emigrated. One
of their ancestors, Jacob, who seems to
be the brother referred to, was Il lieu
tenant in the army of the Revolution
and present at the siege of Yorktown.
His military services were made the
ground of a claim against the govern
ment, and Abraham Lincoln, while a
representative in congress from Hi
nois, was applied to by the family to
assist them in prosecuting it.
Lincoln, the emigrant, had three SONS
and two daughters. Thomas was the
third son and the fourth child. He was
born in 177S, and in 1880 or a little
later his father removed with his en-
tire family to Kentucky.

The father fell dead, Josiah ran to a

grain wOui grow beside its "brother'
o.. the Wilderness. He was one day
leaning against the stem of Il great
tree watching his little assemblage of
sprouts and wondering ut the strange
~fruitfuluess of the earth which fed
them when he heard Il footstep behind
him. 1t was the great Daniel Boone's.
They united their fortunes for the pres
ent. but subsequently each of them be-
came the chief of Il considerable settle
ment. Kenton's trail had been down
the Ohio, Boone's from North Carolina,
and from both those directions soon
came hunters, warriors and settlers to
join them.
But the Indians had no thought of
relinquishing their fairest hunting
ground without Il long and desperate
the possession of it, and no tribe or
confederacy of tribes had ey er been
able to hold it to the exclusion of the
rest. Here from time immemorial the
northern and southern, the eastern and
western Indians had met each other in
mortal strife, mutually shedding the
blood which ought to have been hus-
banded for the more deadly conflict
with the common foe. The character
of this savage warfare had earned for
Kentucky the appellation of 'the dark
ana bloody ground and. new that the
whites had fairly begun their encroach-
ments upon it, the Indians were resolv-
ed that the phrase should lose none
of its old Significance. White settlers
might therefore count upon lighting for
their lives as well as their lands.
Boone did not make his final settle
ment till 1918. The Lincolns anne about
17S0. Nearly the whole of the north
west territory was then occupied by
the hostile Indians. Kentucky volun-
teers had yet before them many a day
of hot and bloody work on the Ohio,
the Muskingum and the Miami, to say
nothing of the continental surprises to
which they were subjected at home.
Every mans life was in his hand.
From cabin to cabin, from settlement
to settlement, his trail was logged by
the eager savage. If he went to pillow, he
was liable to be shot down between The
handles; If he attempted to procure
subsistence by hunting, he was hunted
himself.
On the journey out the Lincolns are
said to have endured many hardships
and encountered all the usual dangers,
including several skirmishes with the
Indians. They settled in Mercer coun-
ty. Their house was a rough log cabin,
their farm a little clearing in the midst
of ii vast forest. One morning not long
after the settlement the father took
Thomas, his youngest son. and went to
build a fence a short distance from the
house, while the other brothers, Morde-
cal and Josiah, were sent to another
field not far away. They were all in
tent about their work when a shot from
a party of Indians in ambush broke the
"listening Stiffness of the woods.

Girls, Watch and Catfish.

There were three of them The
goddess of the morning found
them we'll on the way for week S
fishing. Their cheeks suffused
with bushes, they looked like
morning roses washed with dew.
At sun rise they pulled out from
the shore in a frail boat. Three
rods were up, three craw-dads
wiggled on three sneck hooks, sup
ported by three enameled lines,
running on three steel rods, held
by three lovely Gatesville girls.
The day was ideal, the catfish
ravenously hungry Near noon
the expert in the bow of the boat
hooked a big fellow and, in her
efforts to land him, lost her watch
and chain in six feet of Cow House
creek water. This was distressing
but as it was rock bottom the girls
improvised a set of draw hooks by
attaching lot of hair pins to a
section of steel rod. But the
watch was not recovered and they
resumed their fishing. 1t was near
returning time to the camp when a
second big fellow was hooked.
After much excitement and no
little worry he was landed in the
boat. While the hook was being
removed from his mouth the dam
sci screamed. The fish had swal-
lowed the watch, chain and all,
except that the charm on the end
of the chain was visible The
watch was quickly removed. 1t
was going and pointed to the hour
of 5. The girls returned to camp,
vowiug they never would tell the
watch story, as nobody would be-
lieve; and they didn't at the camp,
but it reached Gatesville ahead OF
them. Here It is, and its true

Some Things Worth Knowing

Here are some suggestions made
in the Housekeeper by Agnes Lock
hart Hughes. which are both time
| Iy and to the point:
Use a small piece IF softened
white soap, with whiting. or silver
polish. TO greedy expedite the pro-
cess OF cleaning silver OF paint.
Rice IS improved by many wash
ings before cooking, the more it is
washed the better, as the loose
starch IS thus removed and each
grain becomes more distinct. It
should be washed until the last
water IS absolutely clear, to be at
its best.
If a tablespoonful of black pep
per IS stirred into the first water in
which gray or buff linen is washed,
it will prevent colors running in
cambrics and muslin, and it will
not affect the softness of the water.
Dry buckwheat applied literally
to grease spots on carpets will
readily remove them.
A fly blister, about the size of a
nickel, applied over the spot where
pulsations indicate a feIon to be
growing, will, at the expiration OF
six hours after application, show
the felon beneath its surface. The
felon can then be removed with
the point of a needle that has been
sterilized.
Lemons will remain good for
months if placed in a tight jar and
covered with water. The jar should
be kept in a cool place and the wa
ter changed every two or three
days.
Never use salt on steak while
broiling, as it extracts the juice in
cooking.
Ginger put into sausage meat
will improve the flavor.
To remove egg stains from silver,
rub well with damp cloth dipped
in salt.
In serving tartar sauce with fried
fish, place the sauce in curled
leaves from the heart of lettuce,
and notice how the appearance of
the dish is improved.
The addition of a bay leaf in
stewing Irish potatoes gives a favor
very pleasing to most palates.
To clean sauce pan that has
been burned, put into it a lump of
soda with some cold water. Let it
stand on the stove to boil for at
least an hour, then scrub it with a
stiff brush. Southwestern Farmer.

Enterprise is favored above his
kind in having two pretty, bright
daughters who are printers, along
with other accomplishments. The
girls. set all the type and It don t
make much difference whether Sam
is at Troy or gone fishing, the
paper comes out just the same.
But Sam has troubles along with
his good things, and he is going
to find it hard job to keep those
boys away. He lays down the law
in the last issue of the Enterprise
as follows: We have made our
arrangements to get the Enterprise
out every Friday morning, hence
we will need every moments time
of our printers from Monday morn
ing until Friday noon. That will
give them two and a half days of
every week to entertain company.
That is enough and that IS all we
are going to allow, and the boys
who frequent this shop for the
purpose of consuming their time
from business can remain on good
terms with US by visiting Our print
ers at home instead of at the Office.

brow and great, wondering eyes

word, like an arrow shot at a
venture, is going to find its way
into the depths of his still sleeping
soul, and he is going to wake up;
and he is going out into the world
all on fire with his first Great
resolve to be something. And he
is going to be something perhaps
the best man in the community;
perhaps the greatest man in the
state; perhaps the greatest man in
the nation. Is it not worth while
to keep the Sunday school going
for just such chance as that?-
