THE TACOMA TINES
She Hired Lincoln TO
Fight for Her Pr

7 wrestling was a great hobby
and sport OF Lincoln. A negro
named Tate was the only boy
could throw him.
Lincoln was not so awfully
bright at school and liked to play
hockey I guess. He and my
husband often skipped school and
went fishing or hunting out in the
woods.
Nobody thought much of Lin
coin when I first met him-that
is, as bright fellow-but every
one liked him. He was always
good-natured. He was never Of
Tended; always Joking and just
full of jokes.
Interesting "reminiscences of
Lincoln's early courtships and
marriage to Miss Todd are re-
counted by Mrs. Wilbern. She
strongly disapproved of his we'd
ding with Miss Todd, whom she
describes as "highfalutin' I"
lady.
Lincoln was always q great
fellow to go to parties. He liked
the society of women.
But Lincoln buried his love-
Ann Rutledge, his first sweet
heart. He was devoted to her.
When She died / know Lincoln
was heartbroken. He told my
husband he had buried his love.
"A good Joke on Lincoln, / re-
member" said the old lady. "He
froze his feet going to see a girl.
He had to walk long way
through snow on an awful cold
night. He had to stay a week at
the girls home until his feet got
well enough for him to go out.
Then the old lady charged him
board"
Denial of the rail-splitting anec-
dote credited to Lincoln's youth is
made by Mrs. Wilbern.
MY husband said Lincoln new
er split rails. The Hankses were
not that poor. That rail-splitting
story was only made up for politi-
cal purposes. to use to get votes.
Lincoln and my husband were
always good friends, but he voted
Tor Douglas. He liked Lincoln. but
they were Of different politics. We
both heard the great debate be-
ween Lincoln and Douglas"

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 2.-This is
the tale of a pig-a wee, Chester
White piggy, which ranks high In
porcine history.
Abraham Lincoln, the martyred
president, gained fame through
the young porker. The pig was
literally a "fat-fryer" for Lincoln
during his starving days" as q
young lawyer.
The story is now told, on the
eve of the celebration of Lincoln's
Tooth birthday anniversary, by
Mrs. Sina Wilbern, aged "a, of
this city, whose husband retained
Lincoln to defend their claim to
the pig. The old lady insists
that Lincoln's fame sprouted from
this case, which he won against
some of the most noted Illinois
lawyers of that time"
This is her story. Lincoln
was just young lawyer then,
studying at odd times in the office
of Lawyer Herndon, at New Salem
Ill.
"My husband had been Lin
coins school companion and knew
him well when he clerked in the
town grocery and later when he
was studying law. So, when we
had a lawsuit to defend we re-
tanned him, though he didn't think
he was much of a lawyer.
eve had Chester White hog.
That was when the chester Whites
I'm time brood Of seven little
pigs was born. We let them run
around loose, and one night one
little pig was lost. We searched
everywhere for it, but could not
find it.
About a month later my hus-
band found the pig. running in the
Dad toward our house. He picked
1t up and took 1t back home, as
he identified it by a notch in its
ear-the same mark we had on
the ears of all the new pigs.
1.-THE next day a prominent fam
lily near us claimed the pig. They
swore 1t was their pig, but we
found they kept the pig hidden in
the woods.
When We refused to give them
our pig they brought suit against
us.
"Then we engaged Lincoln.
They claimed the pig was worth
only so cents. We said 1t was
worth $3.50.
Feeling ran high in the neigh
borhood and feud almost start
ed. Finally the case came to trial.
Lincoln distinguished himself by
winning the case. He made a great
plea in arguing the case.

HELD IN
SACK
Strange Shipment from
Spokane Reaches the
Woman's Suffrage
Lobby.
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA. Feb. 2.-Carrying a
canvas sack which clinked and
jingled, upon which was printed
in red letters "$11, 900 Gold"
Mrs. La Refine Baker rejoined the
woman suffrage lobby in Olympia
today. On the train from Spo-
kane passengers gazed at the
mysterious sack and whispered
busily. If Mrs. Baker was con-
scious of the attention which the
blinking caused, she gave no evil
dence OF it, and was greatly
amused at the exhibition of cur
iosity. When Mrs. Baker return
ed home last week. Mrs. May Ark
wright Hutton, whose automobile
has been in constant use by the
suffragists, sent a telegram which
read as follows:
Mrs. Baker-Streets are mud
dy here and we needs chains for
automobile tires. Chains are in
garage In box just beside the door
as you enter. Fetch them when
you come"
Mrs. Baker did as requested,
and the most available receptacle
for the chains was the coin sack
which she obtained from a Spo-
kane bank.
When the chains were slowed
away in the canvas bag they jim
gled like 700 in gold, and be-
cause Mrs. Baker did not choose
to take her fellow passengers in
to her confidence, they were much
mystified.
"She's taking the woman suf-
frage campaign fund to Olympia"
said one knowing passenger loud
enough to be heard all over the
car.
81 wonder why she is so care
less of the money" observed an
other. "She went into the dining
car an hour ago and left it lying
In her seat. When she came back
she put 1t under the seat and it
clinked something marvelously. I
suppose there must be a guard on
the train somewhere to see that
1t is not stolen"
When Mrs. Baker arrived in
Olympia the woman suffrage lob
by met her at the station with the
automobile.
did you bring the wheel
chains?' asked Mrs. Hutton.
Yes, here they are" replied
Mrs. Baker.
"Oh, shucks!" exclaimed the
mystified passengers, who had
been watching the sack.
