coarseness 10 ner features long before
the period Of her death. Toward the
close her life and her face were equally
sad, and the latter habitually wore the
woeful expression which afterward dis
tinguished the countenance Of her son
in repose.
By her family her understanding was
considered something wonderful. John
Hanks spoke reverently of her ..high
and Intellectual forehead" which he
considered but the proper seat of fac
ulties like hers. Compared with the
mental poverty of her husband and rel
atives, her accomplishments were ce'-
tainly very great, for it is related by
them with pride and delight that she
could actually read and write The pos
session of these arts placed her far
above her associates, and after a little
while even Thomas began to mediate
upon the Importance of acquiring them.
He set to work accordingly in real
earnest, having competent mistress
so near at hand, and with much effort
she taught him what letters composed
his name and how to put them together
in stiff and clumsy fashion. Hence
forth he signed no more by making his
mark, but it is nowhere stated that he
ever learned to write anything else or
to read either written or printed let
ters
with her uncle and aunt, Thomas and
Betsy Sparrow, and became so COM
pletely identified with them that many
supposed her to have been their child.
They reared her to womanhood, fol-
lowed her to Indiana, dwelt under the
same roof, died of the same disease at
nearly the same time and were buried
close beside her. They were the only
parents she ever knew, and she must
have called them by names appropriate
to that relationship, for several persons
who saw them die and carried them to
their graves believed that they were i'll
fact her father and mother.
The Hankses claim that their ances-
tors came from England to Virginia,
whence they migrated to Kentucky
with the Lincolns and settled near
them in Mercer county. The same, pre-
ciscly, is affirmed Of the Sparrows.
Branches of both families maintained
a more or Tess intimate connection with
the fortunes of Thomas Lincoln, and
the early life Of Abraham was closely
interviewer with theirs.
Lincoln took Nancy to live in a shed
on one of the alleys Of Elizabethtown.
It was very sorry building and nearly
bare of furniture, was about fourteen
feet square, had been three times re-
moved and twice used as a slaughter
house and once as a stable. Here a
daughter was born on the 10th day Of
February, 1907, who was called Nancy
during the life of her mother and after
her death Sarah.

Mr.. Shaw's Wasted Kicks.

One evening the popular ticket
agent of the Boston and Maine rail
road, Mr.. Shaw, went out with his
wife to pass the evening with
friends, and upon returning home
decided to 90 in by the side door.
When Mrs. Shaw stepped on the top
step she put her foot upon what she
supposed was man asleep. She
screamed and came near fainting.
Mr.. Shaw rushed to her assistance
and furiously kicked what he sup
posed was a man, his wife all the
time shouting. Don't kill him

Thinking he had kicked the man

No Punishment

A certain crusty squire in an
England midland county, who had
gained unenviable notoriety for
harsh dealings with his tenants,
had violent alteration with far
mer named Johnson. About this
time a valuable wheat sack of Far.
mer Johnson was destroyed by
fire, and there were not wanting
those who attributed the cause to
the squire himself A few DAYS
later the squire, when driving to the
market town. met another of his
tenants. After q few perfunctorv
remarks the tenant said Squire.
do you know anything about the
law?'
The squire smiled satirically. 81

Gen Grants ShreWd Scheme

The officers on Governors island
are telling an excellent story on
Gen. Fred Grant It seems that
two soldiers had been in the habit
of getting into a scrap every day
and were constantly up before their
colonel for discipline Every sort of
mild punishment was tried without
avail till at last the commander of
the department of the east was ap-
pealed to. After taking a horizon
tai view of it the general sent for
the sergeant major and said: ''Just
see that those two men, Crowley
and Hitchins, clean all the barrack
windows, Crowley to do the outsde
while Hitchins attends to the inside.
and, recollect, neither man is to
leave any window till the other has
finished" The scheme was highly
successful. The enemies scowled
thunderously. even murderously, at
each other for five windows, but
flesh and blood could hold out no
longer. At the sixth they burst out
laughing and have been the best of
friends ever since.-Ex.

Like Humor Of Bill Nye

A resident Of Etna, N. H., has
exposed a sign which is as amusing
today as the day the most of it was
evolved from the fertile brain of the
late Bill Nye: "Owing TO the cold
and severe weather l am going to
move somewhere, and will sell at
my residence in Etna, which is a
part of Hanover, according to the
old survey, one plush raspberry
colored COW, aged 8 years. She is a
good mixer and is not afraid of
automobiles or anything else. She
is of great courage and gives milk
frequently. To a man who does not
fear death she would be prize
worth having. She is very much
attached to her home, being tied at
present with a strong tie chain, but
will be solo to anyone who will use
her well. She is one-fourth Jersey
and three fourths something else.
j will also throw in a double
barrel shotgun, which goes with
her. Her name is Tornado. I
would rather sell her to a man in
New York or Massachusetts, than
any one in this vicinity, and it will
be positive sale rain or shine

Edward on his visit to St. Paul's to
dedicate the Chapel Of St. Michael and
St. George. He says:
II find 1t impossible to convey an
adequate idea of the splendor Of the
scene as the king entered the magni-
cent cathedral. The throne OF the
king was on the north side OF the
nave and had a splendid oonopy Of
cardinal red silk. The tapestry at
the back was the same bearing Of
royal arms. Against this on the OPP
posite side was the princes throne
similarly decked and only little less
gorgeous.
"The nave was lined with o detach-
ment Of foot guards In scarlet TUNES
and bushes. From the west door OF
the cathedral to the chapel Of St. |
Michael and st. George gangway was
lined on either side by the kings |

Each Of the four great dependencies
Australia, India, South Africa and
Canada-was represented by fifteen Of
this force, who looked very smart in
their drab uniforms with scarlet fac.
ings and their colonial hats set of
with cocks feathers.
"A band Of the SCOTS guards was
stationed under the dome. There
were several bands. Four trumpeters
OF the royal horse guard blue. re-
splendent in gold lace, stood ON the
chapel steps ready to sound the royal
salute. There besides the psrticip-
