Incident Recalls Maonanimity Of the
Great President.

"One of the most beautiful and pa
thetic incidents which occurred on
that fatal day, April IA, 1865, has
never been recorded in the many fine
and complete histories written about
Abraham Lincoln" said brilliant
Washington society woman while talk
ing to some friends recently. She had
been in Washington all through those
stirring times, and was then speaking
of some of her experiences.
Il distinctly remember every Incl
dent of that day. It was then the Gus
tom to dine at four o'clock In the after
noon. My husband and l had just fin
ished dinner, when we heard that
many confederate prisoners, on parole,
had been brought to the city. BY the
presidents order all the officers had
been taken to the old Willard hotel.
Il sympathizec very strongly with
the South, the speaker said, smiling.
"And many of my friends were fight

seven, and remaining in Indiana until
1880 he spent ii years of his life in
Indiana, or until he was 21 years of
age.
During Abraham Lincoln's 16 years
Of life in Indiana he had read and re-
read this list of literary and histori-
cal books over and over again. His
good nature among Lincoln City peo-
pie was not unnoticed; all agreed to
his honesty and good nature Ques-
tions of dispute and petty differences
were at first submitted to him in a
joking way, and later on in a sincere
way, until he was complimented for
his honest and just way in settling
disputes and differences. He was told
more times than once that some day
he would turn out to be lawyer.
Having read all the literary books
and what few there were of law in and
around Boonville, Lincoln heard of the
court at Boonville He resolved to 60

ago, Abraham Lincoln, one of the
worlds greatest men, was born. Some
give the celebration a thought,
but those who have made the life of
Abraham Lincoln study, and those
people who live in Kentucky, Indiana
and Illinois look upon the birthday an
nlversary as something more than the
mere passing of milestone. Each
OF these states claims right to being
the home of the man who has made
for himself an immortal name in the
history of the worlds greatest men.
Historians say that Lincoln was
born in Hardin county, Kentucky. In
fact, he was born in La Rue county,
which, however, is subdivision of
Hardin county. Chroniclers continue
with their biographies and say that
he, together with his father, mother
and sister, went to Indiana and en-
tered a claim to piece of land in
Spencer county. AS matter of fact,
ne entered claim to piece of land
In Warrick county, but which has been
set aside and named Spencer county
The Lincolns went to Indiana in 1916,
the same year that Indiana was ad-
mitted to the union as a state. He
entered quarter section of land, built
log cabin and lived there until 1880.
1t was known that Thomas Lincoln
father of Abraham Lincoln, was in
poor circumstances. To say that Abra-
nam Lincoln was the son of q poor
carpenter and farmer gives an insight
into hard conditions that little Abe
had to face when he was a youngster.
When he went to Indiana he was just

hurried down to the Willard, thinking
we might find some friends among the
prisoners and be of assistance to
them.
I'VE stayed but short time at the
hotel, and then walked over toward
the White House.
Very shortly after our arrival Pres
ident Lincoln came to one of the front
windows and addressed the soldiers
and the crowd.
Il can never forget that tall, SPARE
form, and that wonderful, benign face
as saw it then," the speakers voics
trembled. In less than "a hours lin.

where the good mother of Abraham
Lincoln lay beneath the sod. While
there the picnickers went through the
cabin where Lincoln saw his mother
pass away and from which place he
returned to Kentucky to get a minister
to come to Indiana and bury his moth
er, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. A few old
relics were found, among them being
an old knot maui and an old fashioned
mouldboard plow, both of which had
been left there when the Lincolns
moved to Illinois. The old plow was
brought outside and an old man by
the name Of Gabriel Medcalf stood be-
tween the handles while one of the
party caught picture of the old Lin
coin cabin. The old man carrying the
pole was Joseph P. Haines, better
known as Uncle Porter Haines. The
picture of Lincolr's second log cabin
was made from the original taken at
the time this party went to the home
along in the seventies.

Of this awful suspense, and then we
received word from Maj. Eckert, who
had gone quickly to Secretary Stan
toms house in X street, and from there
with the secretary to the house on
Tenth street, opposite the theater, to
which the president had been carried
after having been shot by John Wilkes
Booth. This message merely assured
us of the present safety of Stanton,
while confirming our worst fears con.
cerning the president.
A relay of mounted messengers was
at once established by Maj. Eckert,
and all night long they carried bulle.

Stanton addressed to Gen. Dix, New
York city, which were at once given
to the press and sent over the wires
throughout the country. The awful.
ness of the tragedy hushed us into ST.
lence. AS the hours slowly passed,
hope revived fitfully as some sentence
offered faint encouragement that the
precious life might, perhaps, be spared
to complete it's chosen work; but at
about 1880 a. M, April Is, the tension
gave away and we knew that our be-
loved president was gone from rs for

house in Boonville, then small ham,
let of less than 800 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.
It 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
18 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. 1t remained in this condi
tion until 1886, which was after the
Lincoln family had moved to Illinois.
1t was capable of holding only hun.

ture where President Lincoln received
his first impulse to become a 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
as we'll as young went to the farm and
enjoyed themselves visiting the his
torical places in and about the Lin
coin farm

a short distance up on the hillside was
