begun at the far end of the line-tht
arrival of Benjamin Hanks in Mass
chusetts in 1899.
She discovered that one his sons
William, moved to Virginia and that
in the latter part o fthe eighteenth
century his children formed in Am
ella county of that state a large
settlement All the records of these
families she found in the hall of rec
ords in Richmond. When the migra-

members of the Hanks settlement in
Amelia county. Among others to go

Nancy Shipley Hanks and their child

Hanks, by means of land records, to
Nelson county. Kentucky, where she
found that he died in 1903. leaving
behind a Will. which she discovered
in the records of Bardstown, Ken
lucky. This viii shows that at the
time of his death Joseph Hanks had
eight living children, to whom he
bequeathed property. The youngest
was MY daughter Nancy" as the
will puts it,
Mrs. Hitchcock'c first copy of this
will was; "Can 1t be that this little
girl-she was but nine years old
when her father died-is the Nancy
Hanks who sixteen years later be-
came the mother of Abraham Lin
coln?'" She learned from relations
and friends of the family of Joseph
Hanks still living that, soon after
her fathers death. Nancy went to live
with an uncle, Richard Berry, who,
the records showed, had come from
Virginia at the same time that JOS
eph Hanks came. A little further re-
search and Mrs. Hitchcock found that
there had been brought to light
through the efforts of friends of Alb
raham Lincoln all the documents to
show that in 1906 Nanck Hanks and
Thomas Lincoln were married at
Beechland, Kentucky. Now one of
these documents was marriage
bond. 1t was signed by Richard Ber-

Lincoln's illegitimacy, but they show
ed that this Nancy Hanks was the one
named in the will. The suspicion in
regard to the origin of Lincoln's mo-
ther was removed by this discovery
of the will, for the recognition of
any one as his child by a man in his
will is considered by the law as suf-
ficient proof of paternity.
Now what sort of people were Thos.
Lincoln and Nancy Hanks? 1t has
been inferred by those who haye
made no investigation of Thomas
Lincoln's life that Nancy Hanks made
very poor choice of husband. The
facts do not entirely warrant this
theory. Thomas Lincoln had been
forced from his boyhood to shift for
himself in a young and updeyeloped
country. He is known to have been
man who In spite of his wandering
life contracted no bad habits. He
was temperate and honest, and his
name is recorded in more than one
place in the records of Kentucky. He
was church goer, and If tradition
may be believed, stout defender OF
his peculiar religious views. He held
advanced ideas of what was alread,
an important public question In Ken
lucky, the right to hold negroes a.
slaves. One of his old friends ha.
said for him and his wife, Name,
Hanks. that they were 'just steepet
full of notions about the wrongs o
slavery and the rights of men. as ex
planned by Thomas Jefferson an,
Thomas Payne" These facts shov

| fer to the widespread tradition that
Lincoln was born of that class known
| in the South as poor whites" that
| his father was not Thomas Lincoln.
as his biographers insist on declar-
ing. but rich and cultured planter
of another state than Kentucky, and
that his mother not only gave a faith
| erIess boy to the world, but herself
was a nameless child. The tradition
has always lacked particularly. For
| instance, there has been large differ
ence of opinion about the planter who
| fathered Abraham, who he was and
where he came from. One story calls
him Enloe, another Calhoun. another
Hardin, and several different states
claim him. Only five years ago
book was published in North Caro-
lima to prove that Lincoln's father
was a resident of that State. The
bulk of the testimony offered in this
instance came from men and women
who had been born long after Abra-
ham Lincoln, had never seen him,
and never heard the tale they repeat
ed until long after his election to the
Presidency. OF the truth of these
statements as to Lincoln's origin mo-
proof has ever been produced. Ihey
were rumors, diligently spread in the
first place by those who for political
purposes were glad to belttle a
political opponent. They grew with
telling, and, curiously enough, two of
Lincoln's best friends helped perpet-
uate them-Messrs. Lamon and Hern-
don-both of whom wrote lives Off
the President which are of great in
terest and value. But neither of these
men was a student, and they did not
take the trouble to look for records
of Mr.. Lincoln's birth. They accept
ed rumors and enlarged upon them. |
Inded, 1t was not until perhaps twen-
ty-five years ago that the matter was
taken up seriously and an investiga-i
ton begun. This has been going on

For that reason the

Mothers will find Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup the best remedy to use for their children

The death Of the Rev. Sam Jones,
the noted evangelist, brought to a close
a most interesting and useful life. For
more than thirty years this man was
travelling exhorter, preaching four
times a day for weeks at time, al
ways to crowds, and always stirring
the crowds to ecstasy by the force OF
his rhetoric and the fervor Of his ora
tory. During his ministry he address
ed more than twenty-five million per-
sons The newspapers delighted to
give him prominence, for both the mat
ter and the manner of his addresses
were often startling. and the crowds
which focked to hear him were pictur-
esQue. Thousands OF Americans,
therefore. will always think Of Sam
Jones as a crude, uneducated zealot,
pouring forth fire and vitriol, and
counting notoriety by extravaganza of
speech. Nothing could be further from
LuC lAuIu. CIuuC AC udy nave OOSAA'
and extravagant in speech he certainly
was; but it was not alone what Sam
Jones said, it was the man himself
that moved audiences to tears and
turned thousands of his hearers toward
better ways of living. He spoke as one
who had been a drunkard and a gam
bier; a wild, prOfane boy, who broke
his parents hearts by his evil ways;
youth who turned from his wickedness
only at the bedside of dying father;
a man who had found that to keep his
good resolutions he must lean on the
divine strength. The frankness and
sincerity with which Sam Jones told
his own life story was the secret Of
his power. "You dissipated sons" he
once said, put charge Of buckshot
into your breech-loaders, and while
your mother Is in the dining-room take
aim and shoot her through the heart.
Don't kill her by inches" Any man
who knew how to put his thought into
such concrete language as this must
always have had a certain power over
an audience; but the thing which made
people believe in Sam Jones' message
was the example of Sam Jones' life,
redeemed by earnest striving, by a sim
cere religious faith, and by the help
which God always extends to those
who do so strive.
