LITTLE ABE LINCOLN

If Abraham Lincoln had cotton or
woolen clothing to wear when he was a
boy he did not go to the store and buy
the material or the clothes as you can
today. First the cotton, the wool, or
the fax had to be grown. Sumac ber-
ries, walnut barks and other barks
were used for coloring. The children
had to lie on the floor and pick the
seeds from the cotton bolls before they
could go to bed. The warmer the cot
ton the better it picked, SO they would
take a good sweat. The next day the
cotton had to be carded and spun, and
when enough was spun and colored to
make a dress apiece it would be put
into the loom and woven. Linsey- wool
sey was made of flax and wool and re-
quired much labor. 1t was probable
then that little Abe wore little cotton or
Los Angeles herald., 1909-02-14

For 170 years, ever since the first Amer
ican Lincoln came from England to
Massachusetts, in 1888, they had been
moving slowly westward as new settle
mentS were made in the forest.
They faced solitude, privation and all
the dangers and hardships that beset
men who take up their homes where
only beasts and wild men existed be-
fore; but they continued to press stead
lily forward, though they lost fortune
and sometimes even life itself in their
westward progress. Back in Pennsyl-
Yania and New Jersey some of the Lin
coins had been men of wealth and in
huence. In Kentucky, where the future
president was born on February II,
1909, his parents lived in deep poverty
Their home was a small log cabin of
the rudest kind, and nothing seemed
more unlikely than that their child
coming into the world in such humble
surroundings, was destined to be the
greatest man of his time. True to his
race, he also was to be a pioneer-not,
indeed, like his ancestors, a leader into
new woods, and unexplored fields, but a
pioneer of nobler and grander sort,
directing the thoughts of men ever to-
ward the right, and leading the Ameri-
can people, through difficulties and
dangers and a mighty war, to peace and
freedom.
The story of this wonderful man be-
gins and ends with a tragedy, for his
grandfather, also named Abraham, was
killed by shot from an Indians rife
while peaceably at work with his three
sons at the edge of his frontier clear
dnce.

My Dear Boys and Girls:
W HIS week 1 must answer several
questions which have been asked
me over and over again.
In reply to the question which find
most often in the letters that come
from Juniors, will say this: Any boy
compete in these contests just as often
as he or she chooses to do so. / only
ask that each one read over the an
nouncements of prize competitions be-
fore sending papers, letters and linn
ericks to me, and I wish-oh, how
wish!-that my young friends thought
enough of my convenience SO that they
would leave margins at one side Of
the paper and at the top of the sheet,
and would sign their name on the same
side of the paper that the limerick,
story or letter is written on.
That wouldn't be very hard, would
it, Juniors? daresay that you have
all done things much harder than that
many times. Now, how many of you
will remember this simple request?
Put all contributions in the same en-
velope. Some of the writer's seem to
think that it takes a separate envelope
and stamp for each contribution. This
is not at all necessary, and when sew
eral brothers and sisters in one family
wish to write to me they may quite
well put all their work in the same en-
velope, taking care to place sufficient
postage upon it to insure its delivery
to this office.
This week you all have a chance 20
win a different sort of prize Perhaps
some of you may not know just what
the play "Peter Pam is about. In an
other article on this same page I will
try and tell you all something
about it.
I hope that we shall have a great
many contributions upon this subject,
"Do you believe in fairies?" this week
There are many ways Of understanding
this question, and I am sure that my
busy and clever little readers. will each
find some novel manner of presenting
the ideas in their letters.
I want to hear about all the fairies
you can believe in. There are fairies
of life who live in tiny seeds, fairies
who put $he pearls within the oyster
shells under the ocean, fairies to put
the honey in the flowers and to guide
the bees to the proper field so that
they may gather it in quantities and
store it up. All these tiny fairies you
can easily believe in, even though
some of you may think that you are
now so big that you have outgrown
all childish faith in Santa Claus, the
Easter Bunny and fairies, elves and
hobgoblins.
The drawings continue to improve,
and before long we shall have a fine
list of Herald Junior artists. Opening
the pictures here is one of the most
interesting portions of my days work.
and L expect that the subject this week
will offer wide opportunities to the i'm
aginative young artist. For instance,
some one may draw a little girl asleep
over her book with visions of fairies
floating about in the air, another will
have big sister reading the stories to
the younger members of the family
circle, and perhaps some of the boys
may even show picture of the boy
at school and his furtive enjoyment Of
the story book when studies or other
duties ought to have his attention.
With love for you all.

Mary.
Their mother heard their
chatter and smiled as they
talked. After the paper was
read they went about their usual
Sunday duties, dressing and at
tending Sunday school, later
going with their parents to call
upon a sick friend and finally
returned home just about twi-
light ready to have their Sunday
evening bread and milk.
Later on the girls were cozily
esconced in their comfortable
chairs reading their favorite
story books. Their father and
mother had gone to church and
the girls were quite alone. Mary
looked up suddenly from her
book to discover that Jessie's
head had nestled back among
the cushions and her eyes were
closed. Jessie" she called soft

The next few minutes were
among the longest which Mary
ever remembered having spent,
for she wanted to know what
Jessie was dreaming about, but
she did not want to waken her
until the dream was ended.
In very short time, however,
her father and mother came III
and their entrance wakened Jes-
sic, who sat up blinking and
wearing a look of anazement.
She looked at her hands and feet
and Mary saw her feel across her
shoulders, as though wondering
whether the fairy wings might
still be there.
