Where Was Lincoln Bornp
From Ieslie'a Weekly

Preservers Of historic shrines should be

proceed with the work of preservation. I'm

Kentucky relative to the birthplace of Lin
coin can be disproved, the officers Of the
Lincoln Farm Association will be obliged to
proclaim to the public that they were mis-

national park, they are inviting popular con-

tyr President was born there. According to
the report of ]. w. Lewis and w. D. Clay
brooke of Springfield, KY, who have been
investigating the matter, Abraham Lincoln
was not born on the Larue county farm
purchased for the association, but in Wash
ington county, near Beechland in q small
log cabin, which Is still standing The fam
lily removed to the farm in Larue county
when Abraham was six weeks old. These
statements are made on the authority of
William Hardesty, who died In Washington

said to have been a witness of the marriage
Of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks John
Hardesty. the SON, and w. c. McChord and
w. F. Booker. friends of the elder Hardes-
ty, support these statements by affidavits

Lincoln's birthplace may be clearly estab-
lished, but until such time comes is II not
the duty Of the prominent men at the head
of the Lincoln Farm Association to stop
asking or receiving contributions?

SAVED FROM SING SING BY HUGS
Strategic Wife Delayed Park Bank
Forger at the Tombs

Edward H Frost, who was indicted for
grand larceny in the second degree in July
FOR stealing $4,000 from the Park National
Bank, OF which he was paying teller was
saved from trip to Sing Sing yesterday
by his WIFE,
Frost pleaded guilty a couple of days ago
and received an indeterminate sentence of
from two to four years. He said later that
he had entered his plea only because he
had been promised that he should not be
sent to Sing Sing, but to Elmira.
Warden Flynn notified him yesterday to
get ready to go to Sing Sing The warden
agreed that Mrs. Frost should be notified
and allowed the prisoner to send a hurried
note to her.
In the note Frost gave her instructions.
A couple OF hours later when the warden
rounded up his batch Of half Dozen in
+ Guiding Frost, to take a train for Sing
Sing, and the Black Maria was at the door
waiting, Mrs. Frost appeared
Throwing herself into her husbands arms
she embraced him and began to cry. The

and kindly told her they must be going
She parted from her husband and he was
almost to the door of the Tombs when the
woman ran after him and, Selling him,
again repeated her fearful goodbye. -
When she had done this three times the
warden began to- get impatient, as he
feared he would miss the train. At last he
forcibly dragged Frost to the prison van.
Just then Lawyer c. F. Kinsley, Frost'S
counsel, ran around the corner waving a
writ of habeas corpus which he had OBJ
tanned. He had less than a minutes mar
gin, for the warden was just locking the
door of the van.

means of getting the trial for which Frost
will now make application Mrs. Frost
smiled through her tears at the warden as
she saw the successful termination Of her
artifice, and when her husband climbed out

HANDLING VICIOUS HORSES.
Rarey's Little Trick for Curing Balk-
ing-Some Causes of Shying.

From Country Life in America.
A balky horse can be cured, when under
the saddle, by very simple method. Turn
him around and around in his tracks a few
times and then suddenly straighten his head
and he will willingly, and even gladly, go
forward. This was the method of the cele-
brated John S. Rarey and has never been
known to fail.
The "jibbler' differs from the baker in
asmuch as his so-called vice is caused by
congestion of the brain. The horse thus at
fected is liable to bolt run away after
one of these attacks and is a dangerous an
imal.
Rearing although commonly termed
vice, is often caused by too severe a curb.
Sometimes the rearing horse loses his bal
ance and falls backward. 1t is needless to
say that the rider is then lucky If he or she
escapes without serious, IL not fatal. injury
When the horse rears loosen the reins and
speak to him in soothing tone; but If he
persists give him a sharp blow between the
ears with the butt of the whip. This will
bring him down on all fours with anna zing
quickness.
Kicking is certainly a vice. Sometimes.
however. IL is caused by fear, in which
case much can be accomplished by gentle
management. Exactly the opposite treat
ment of the rearing animal should be .ap-
piled TO the kicker Hold his head up with
might and main, for the horse cannot throw
out both hind legs at once when his head
is elevated Kicking straps are what the
name implies. strap fastened to the
shafts over the horses Group prevents
kicking, but this is only serviceable when
driven in single harness. Shying is dam
gerous fault. 1t cannot properly be termed
a vice. as 1t Is generally the result of de-
fective vision. Gentle treatment. soothing
words and patient persistence in accustom-
Ing the animal to the dreaded object will
often effect a cure. To lash horse because
he shes or is frightened only aggravates
the evil. He will associate the punishment
with the frightful object and win fear 1t
more and more each tine he encounters it.
