! 1t is not so good as some Indian wig
vans. OF course the food and clothes
and beds of family living in this
way were miserable.
Poor little Abe Lincoln sometimes
attended backwoods school. The log
school houses in Indiana at that time
had large open freplaces in which
there was great blazing fire in the
winter The boys of the school had to
chop and bring in wood for this fire,
The floor of such a schoolhouse wasl
OF rough boards hewn out with axes
The school masters were usually harsh
men who persuaded their pupils to
study by means of long beech switches
Such as they were accustomed to use
in driving oxen These schoolmasters
did not know much themselves, but
bright little Abe Lincoln soon learned
10 write. This was very handy for
ms rather and other men of the neigh
borhood, who could not write and who
got Abraham to write their letters for
them Lincoln could not get many
books to read in community so des-
titute. He could not weaken his mind
as so many boys and girls do now by
reading exciting stories for he did not
have them to read
He read carefully the books that he
had The Bible, Aesops Fables, Pill
grim's Progress, life Of Washington
and life of Henry Clay he read over
and over again. for he could get no
other books. Whenever he heard any
subject talked about he would go off
and think 1t out and try to put 1t in
clear and careful thinking and this
practice in clothing his thoughts in
words that exactly fitted them was the
best education in the world Many
boys and girls who have good schools
and good books never learn to think
FOR themselves. Lincoln went a sec
ono time on flat boat to New Orleans
and the boat was loaded with live hogs
and 1T is said that Lincoln finding that
the hogs could not be driven carried
them on board the boat in his long
arms. After he came back he became
a clerk In country store, where he
employed his spare time in reading.
Like Franklin he got his education at
leisure time. In this store he showed
that careful honesty which was always
remarkable. Once when by mistake he
had taken Zip that, is seven and
quarter cents more than was due
from customer he walked several
miles the same night to return the
money. When he found that by using
the wrong weight he had given the
woman two ounces Of tea less than
she ought to have had, he had again
walked long distance in order to
make the matter right.

ABRAHAM LINCOl NJ.

Abraham Lincoln was born in KEN
lucky on the 18th day Of. February,
1909. He was very poor.
When he was young his mother
taught him to read and write. He
could not go to school, and he would
often borrow books to read. One time
he borrowed a book from one Of his
neighbors and when he went to bed
he put it under his pillow. 1t rained
that night and soiled the book. Abso-
ham was very sorry and he went back
and told the man that he was very
sorry, but he would pay him. So he
worked until he had earned enough
to pay for the book.
In 1917 he and his father went to
Indiana and from there to Illinois.
Abraham helped his father split rails
and was therefore called the Rail-
splitter
Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth
president of the United States. He
was elected in 1860, and was inaugur-
ated on the fourth of March, 1851
He served one term and began his
second term when he was killed.
He was killed by John Wilkes
Booth on the fourteenth day of April
1865

les. At this age he had to take an ak
and help to clear out the forest, as it
was a new country and had to be
cleared away. His mother died two
years after they came to Indiana and
about a. year later his father married
Mrs. Sarah Johnson, whom he had
known In Kentucky She was a wom-
an Of some means. A great friendship
sprang up between her and Abe, which

first opportunity Of seeing the horibl.,
side of slavery. He saw negroes in
chains whipped and scourged.
One morning In their rambles over
the city they passed slave auction.
A mulatto girl was being sold. Abe
didn't like this and said If he ever
got chance to hit it slavery he
would hit it hard The year after To-

Abraham Lincoln was born on Feb.
IL. 1909. His father did not have much
education and his mother was educat-
ed but little better. Abraham did not
go to school more than year in all.
He read all the books in the neighbor-
hood and when he heard of one that
he had not read, he would go and
get it.
Once Abraham borrowed book
from one Of the neighbors and got it
soiled He worked three days to pay
for it md then it was his,
When he had no time to read in day
time he has been stretched out in front
of the fire place studying at night.
When he was blowing he would have
to rest his horse at the end of the
furrow and then he would read.
He heard of grammar six miles
away and he walked and got it. He
read it and the school master visited
him of evenings.
In 1912 Mr.. Lincoln was married to
Miss Mary Todd, the daughter of Hon.
Robert S. Todd. They were married
at Springfield, Ill., Their little son,
William Wallace died in February,

ABRAHAM LINCOLN,


Abraham Lincoln was born in Ken
lucky. He lived there when he was a
little boy, but that was a lon time
ago. 1t was a wilderness at that time.
There were Indians there. Ahraham's
grandfather found a place on the side
of Licking Creek and he built a
cabin there. The cabin was near Fort
BcargraSs.
Abrahams father was little boy
then. Els name was Thomas. They
cut down the trees so that they could
plough the soil and plant corn. They
were proud when their first crops
came up. But one day they were at
work and the Indians crept near them.
The Indians didn't like the white men.
The Indian wanted to kill the Lincoln
family. He crept up behind some
brush He had a gun. He shot the
father dead. One of the boys ran in
for his rifle. The Indian caught the
little white boy Thomas, and ran One

BASEBALL MAGNATES
READY FOR SESSION
National League to Elect Officers.
Many Players, Managers and Um-
nires Present-Bitter Fight
Is Predicted

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Magnates of
both the major baseball leagues will
meet here this week. The gathering
will be preceded on Monday by the
meeting OF the National Baseball COM
mission. The election of officers of the
National league and a promised revival
of the umpire -bribing scandal attend
ing the final New York-Chicago game
a year ago are objects of the greatest
interest in connection with these
events.
on Tuesday the National league will
have its annual meeting, and Wednes
day the American league will open its
sessions.
Many club owners, managers, play
ers and umpires are here. National
league magnates say their meetings
will be harmonious, but their state
ments do not coincide with the opinions
of Others
All the club owners have reached
this city except Stanley Robinson of
st. Louis, Horace Fogel of Philade
phia ana John Dovey of Boston. The
leaders of the Heydler and Ward fac
tlons are both anxious to see Robinson,
as his vote will decide whether John
Heydler, president of the National
league, shall continue in office or be
displaced.
The election of John NJ Ward as
president of the National league is
considered impossible by Barney Drey-
fus of Pittsburg. Dreyfus says there
will be no war no matter on whom the
two factions unite.

WOLGAST-PlCATO
BOUT POSTPONED
LOCAL FIGHTER ALLEGED TO
BE UNDER WEATHER
Fans Believe That Real Reason Is
Required Poundage - Decem-
Der Fl Is the Date
Now Set

Owing to the alleged Illness of Frank
Picato, the Wolgast-Picato fight,
scheduled for Tuesday night has been
postponed until December u. Late
yesterday evening Roy Page, who is
handling Picatos affairs. informed
Tom Jones that owing TO a severe at
tack of "a grippe his fighter would be
unable to appear Tuesday night. Page
also stated that Picato now tipped the
beam at 1877 pounds, which is a long
ways from the 1873 mark, with but two
days intervening.
Tom Jones finally consented to the
postpOnement although by so doing
he will be forced to cancel probable
New Orleans date Among fight fans
1t is whispered that the real reason
for the delay was on account Of Picato
being unable to make the required
weight BE that as it may, Page has
caused the Pacific Athletic club no lit
tie trouble and expense for about the
third or fourth time, and Secretary
Hancock frankly stated that Picato
would get few fights in the future as
long as Page continued in the role of
manager.
Page, however. deposited 5000 forfeit
money in case Of Picato's non-appear-
ance on the date set. Manager Jones
also placed 5000 in Hancock's hands.
Wolgast and Jones probably will leave
about the middle of the week on a
short hunting trip, Ad continuing his
training upon his return. Picato will
not let the grass grow between the
boards at East Side while endeaVoring
to take off the required poundage.
