Face Hired Girl Problem.

A Massachusetts, man, whose bust.
ness frequently takes him over the
line into Vermont, says that one even
ing he was a guest at a farm house In
that state when he observed that the
wife of the owner-a poor, wan little
woman-was doing every bit Of the
work around the house.
AS he himself put it, she did an
amount of work that would have put
an ordinary Massachusetts horse to
shame and he really felt like a vii
lain sitting there watching her.
Feeling considerable compassion for
the woman, who looked as II ready to
drop from o%verwork, the visitor
asked:
why don't you get help here?
Surely you are not going to try to pull
through the long winter without a
hired girl"

face of the woman. WAL, / dunno"

The graybeards Of Hodgenville, the
hamlet which is situated about two
miles from the Lincoln farm, ever
since they were aroused by it's sale
at auction, have been telling many q
story about Little Abe" when a lad;
about "Tom," his father, and Nancy.

IVY dedicated to the American
people as a national park.
Its ito rocky acres in the heart OF
the Blue Grass state have been pur-
chased, n an association has been
organized to restore its many natural
beauties.
The log cabin in which the future
president was born was recently res
cued from a cellar at College Point,
Long Island, where it had been igno-
m%iniously dumped after travelling
about the country as a show. With
imposing ceremonies, 1t was carried
back to its native soil, and restored
to the very spot where Tom" Lin

a memorial structure which will be
an exact reproduction of the White

Within its walls will be preserved all
the available historical treasures as
ISOLATED with his name and fame.
The date chosen for the dedication
of the Lincoln farm is especially ap-
propriate, for 1t marks the Tooth ami

shaped sentences, expressing his
gratitude for the confidence reposed
in him, his doubts of his own abilities
and his trust in a helping Providence.
Then followed some informal talk,
partly of a jovial kind, in which the
hearty simplicity of Lincoln's nature
shone out, and after the usual hand
shaking the committee took leave.

calmly In his black suit of apparently
new but ill-ftting clothes, his long,
tawny neck emerging gauntly from
his turn down" collar, his melan-
choly eyes sunk deep in his haggard
face. Most of the members of the
committee had neve seer him be-

surprised curiosity. He certainly
did not present the appearance
of a statesman, as people usu-
ally picture it in their magma

figure. The agent got as far as Eliza
BEETHOVEN, KY, some II miles from
Hodgenville, where the auction was to
take place, and, as it was Sunday
and the sale was to be held in the
afternoon of the following day, he
put up at a hotel and took things
easy" intending to drive over to
Hodgenville the next morning. But
although the trains do not run in
that part of Kentucky on Sunday, the
bottles do, and the whisky man drank
long and often In the barroom. Here
ne made the acquaintance of a young
man from New York, who had come
to buy the farm for its preservation
as a park, and who is now secretary
of the Lincoln Farm association. On
learning the purpose of the man from
Louisville and noticing that 'the tide
was coming in," the New Yorker got
up at daybreak the next morning and
hurried to Hodgenville in the fastest
conveyance he could hire.
On reaching Hodgenville the New
York man asked that the auction be
held as early Is possible. and he
bought the farm for $500 about a
quarter of an hour before the whisky
man arrived.
