house in Boonville, then small ham,
let of less than 900 Inhabitants, in
strong contrast to the beautiful
new structure that now adorns the
beautiful little town, stood in the very
spot where the new one now stands,
in the center of large court square.
1t was frame building; the architec-
ture was, to say the least, very novel.
A ditch, two feet wide and two feet
deep, was filled with smoothly hewn
logs, on which was built a stone wall
Is inches high. This furnished the
foundation upon which the building
proper rested. The building itself
was never entirely completed. 1t was
weather boarded, but neither plastered
nor lathed. It remained in this condi-
ton until 1886, which was after the
Lincoln family had moved to Illinois.
It was capable of holding only a hun
bred people and could only be used in
the summer. In the night the cattle
which grazed about town would go
there for shelter. Such was the struc.
ture where President Lincoln received
his first impulse to become lawyer.
Here it was that he received his first
rudimentary practice in pleading cases
that afterward aided in making him
the lawyer of the reputation he had
Shortly after the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln a picnic party from
the little town of Dale went up to
Lincoln City to the Lincoln farm and
spent the day. The excitement was
so high at that time that old people

CATCHING A LION CIR


"Jim," South African native,
won the applause of his employer by
a feat which gave him among his
brethren the title of "The one who
conquers the waters" In "Jock of
the Bushveld" Sir James Percy Fitz-
patrick tells the story as related by
the boys employer:
Well, it's really simple enough.
We came right on to the lioness wait
ing for US, and I got her, and then
there were shouts from the boys, and
l saw two cubs, pretty well grown,
making off in the grass.
THE boy Jim legged it after one
of them, cub about as big as New.
foundland dog; not so high, but
longer.
Il followed as fast as 1 could, but
he was big Zulu, and went like a
buck, yelling mad all the time. We
were in the bend of one of the long
pools down near Komati, and when I
got through the reeds the cub was at
the waters edge, facing Jim, and Jim
was dancing round it, heading it off
with only one light stick. AS soon as
it saw us coming on the cub took to
the water, and Jim after it.
1t was as good as a play. Jim
swan up behind it, and putting his
hand on its head, ducked it right I'M
der. The cub turned as it came I'D
and struck out at him viciously, but
he was back OFT Of reach.
When it ted again to go Jim
ducked it aGair, and went on like
that six or eight times, till the thing
was half drowned and had no more
fight in it.
Then Jim got hold of it by the
tail and swan back to US, still shout
ing and quite mad with excitement.
OF course" added Bob, with n
Wagsof his head, you can say it was
only a cub, but it takes a good man
to go up naked and tackle a thing
like that, with teeth and claws TO cut
you into ribbons"

Diet For SIeeDIeSSnpSS.

DR.. William Stevens says that in
sOmnia is not a disease itself, but
the effect of an unhealthy condition
of body Or mind. When the cause is
removed the insomnia may be ex-
pected to disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases of it which would not yield
to any treatment and for which n
change of air or of scene became
necessary. But such cases as these
should not occur, and do occur only
when the sufferer has neglected pre-
cautions that shonld have been taken
when the trouble first made itself
manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed if attended to in
season. The most common cause is
found in the digestive organs. Either
unsuitable food, causing insomnia as
a feature of indigestion, or INSULT
cient food, causing the patient to be
kept awake by hunger.
There are few things which can
be universally recommended as diet
for sleeplessness, since what will
agree with one man will disagree
with another. But two things that
may almost always be recommended
are lettuce and celery.

Every Man by Himself.

God beholds thee individually, who
ever thou art. HE calls thee by thy
name" He sees thee and understands
thee. He knows what is in thee, all
thy own peculiar feelings and
thoughts, thy dispositions and likings,
thy strength and thy weakness. He
views thee in thy day of rejoicing and
thy day of sorrow. He sympathizes
in thy hopes and in thy temptations;
He interests Himself in all thy anx-
ieties and thy remembrances, in all
the risings and fallings Of thy spirit.
He compasses thee round, and bears
thee in His arms; He takes thee up
and sets thee down.
Thou dost not love thyself better
than He loves thee. Thou canst not
shrink from pain more than He dis
likes thy bearing it; and if He puts it
on thee, it Is as thou wilt put it on
myself, if thou art wise, for a greater
good afterwards. H. Newman.

There is no tucker or guimpe quite

it is not considered half as smart

Joint of the arm from shoulder to

Why this marked and unmistaka-

by the fact that the collar bone in
the feminine anatomy is some inches
longer, and set some inches lower
down, than in the masculine frame.
