A Birthplace
Worth Saving.
BY MARK TWAIN.

There IL u natural human instinct

town az well as In S,ratforl, and Con-
neGtlcuts chiyter might have been
hidden In "A woodchuck hole as well as
In the Charter oak But 1t was no ac-
cident that planted Lincoln on a Ken
lucky farm, halfway between the
Lakes and the Gulf The association
there had substance In It. Lincoln be-
longed just where he was put. II the
Union was TO be saved, IL had 10 be "A

II needed a man Of the Border, where
civil war meant the grapplc Of brother

knew slavery not from books only, but
as living thing, knew the good that
was mixed with It's evil, and knew the
evil not merely as It affected the ne
groes but in Its hardly less baleful in
nuence upon the poor whites II need
ed one who knew how human all the
parties 10 the quarrel were, how much
alike they were at bottom, who saw
them all reflected in himself, and felt
their dIsscnsIons like the tearing apart
OF his own soul. When the war came
Georgia sent an army in gray and
Massachusetts, an army In blue, but
Kentucky raised armies for both sides.
And this man. sprung from Southern
poor whites, born on a Kentucky farm
and transpianted to an Illinois village,
this man, in whose heart knowledge
and charity had left no room for NAL
ice, was marked by Providence as the
one TO bind up the nations wounds"
His birthplace Is worth saving.

Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland has a
simple taste In perfumes. She uses
only cologne, but at the rate of a quart
a day. Every morning she takes
warm bath into which a pint Of CO.
logne of the finest quality is poured.
She stays in the bath seven minutes,
then stands under a cold shower for
five minutes. She never touches
drop of water for toilet purposes into
which cologne has not been poured.

"a fitting tribute to the memory OF Lin
coin. who bore the heaviest burden ever
carried by an American President and
fell In harness victim Of assasslna-
ton. There IL no knowing when any
action would have been taken had II
not been that the Lincoln Birthplace
Farm was put up NJ auction in Au-
gust, 1905, that the proceeds might be
used to pay back taxes. All but one
of the bidders represented some busI-
ness concern. anxious to get control
Of the property for advertising pur-
p0seg, but this one bidder saved the
farm and aycrted what would have
been n national disgrace. He repre-
sentcd IA private citizen, who believed
the historic ground should be the pro-
pcrty Of the American people, and,
having acquired the place, he turned
1t over 10 an association of public
spirited men, who quickly organized
and determined 10 develop 1t into
Lincoln National Park that should
stand forever as shrine Of patriot
ism and peace, a fitting memorial to
the great citizen who was born there.
The farm Is ideal for such pur-
pose. Consisting Of one hundred and
ten acres In the rolling bluegrass re-
gon Of Larne County Kentucky It is
crossed by a picturesque stream, has
many shady groves, and possesses the
famous rock spring near which 1t Is
proposed that the Lincoln statue shall
be erected But short distance away
along the turnpike, stands the old mill
where Lincoln used to go with his
father, the boy seated astride a sack Of
corn on the broad back Of the old mare.
When the park IL developed it Is said
that the Louisville e. National Rail-
roal win establish branch terminal
near the entrance.
The plan Of the Lincoln Farm AS
sociation is very simple, and seems to
have been inspired by profound be-
lief in the individual patriotism Of
American men and women. Instead of
appealing to a wealthy few to carry out
the work, the Association has given its
cause to the whole people, asking "ev-
cry man, woman, and child in whose
heart is the love OF country and a re-
verence for the memory Of Lincoln"
to become member. Each member
Is called upon to contribute whatever
amount he or she wishes, provided it
Is not less than twenty-five cents or
more than twenty-five dollars, and to
every member is issued large, hand
somely engraved Certificate of Mem
bership bearing the seal Of the Asso-
citation. with the autographs OF the
officers and trustees. The name of the
member is then entered in the Perma-
nent Catalog, which is to be kept for
ever in a place of honor in the His
torical Building to be erected at the
Park. Thus the funds are being rails
ed by popular membership subscrip-
tions, and already the names are COM
ing in by hundreds from every State
in the Union, more than fifteen hav-
ing Joined before November /. The
labor unions, fraternal orders. nistori-
cal societies, women's clubs, and or
ganizations of all sorts have pledged
