were built onto the wall and fragrant
pine leaves placed thereon. Then the
table and chairs were built and the
little home was complete.
But Abraham's greatest sorrow came
with the death of his mother, who died
when the boy was ten years old.
Little Abe was almost incolsolable,
and many years after he was often
heard to remark: Cali that / am or
ever hope to be l owe to my angel
mother" But soon after Mrs. Lin
coins death, little Abe found some
books to read and these made his
very heart glad One of the books
was the Bible, one Aesops Fables, one
Pilgrims Progress; but the best, the
most precious of all, was "The Life of
Henry Clay" Pa" little Abe would
say, when l am a man l am going
to be as much like Henry Clay as
l can" The boy would read aloud
and it was habit he never got over.
Now, Tom Lincoln could not manage
his children and household very we'll,
so he married again, and the children
had very good step-mother.
"Oh, pa" exclaimed Abraham, one
day running in suddenly, "can / go to
school down on Pigeon Creek?"
Wall, son." drawled Mr.. Lincoln,
Il spec you can" So Abe went to
school again, to a new schoolmaster,
Hazel Dorsey, by name.
1 wonder if young Lincoln had any
dreams of the great future in store
for him? Sometimes | think he did,
for he studied day and he studied
night, and even when he was plough
ing he seemed to be thinking, ever
thinking. A friend of his, Dennis
Hanks. by name, once said, abe is
always reading, writing, cyphering OF
writing poetry"
Now, the big man of the community
was Mr.. Gentry, the local store-keep
er, and one day when Abe was nine
teen years old, Mr.. Gentry called tt
him: Come here Abe. Want to d,
something for me?" Abe came run
ming: I'll do anything fer you car

BY OLA GOLDBERG.

The day of Feb. IL, 1909, was bit
ter cold. A baby boy lay on a home
made bed in little log cabin, in what
is now known as Larue county, Ken
lucky. "What shall We call the be-
by?," asked the mother as she gazed
fondly on the mite of humanity. The
father who was a type of the back
woods of that day, stood near by.
abraham shall be his name," he
said HE shall be called after my
father and l hope he will be as good
as my father was"
Seven years went by, and the baby
grew as all babies do, when the event
of his youthful life happened. One FAC
hariah Riney, Catholic, started lit
tie school and Abraham was permit
ted to go. Can you imagine this boys
delight? Poor little fellow; he had
been so anxious to learn his A B C's!
His father could not read or write,
but his mother, why, she was highly
accomplished, in the eyes of the youth

and write, so she helped the boy along.

The German military authorities are
still skeptical concerning tn value in
time OF war of the Zeppelin airships. and
are, 1t is stated. aware of certain un-
toward incidents connected with the re-
cent flights which have been concealed
from the public.
For example, they know that within
ten minutes before the Zeppelin was
compelled to land at Biberach. six hun
dredweight of ballast had to be thrown
out to prevent the airship from strand
ing. During the first attempt of the Yep
pelin II to reach Cologne the airship
was repeatedly hurled by the wind into
most dangerous proximity to the earth
The military authorities consider that
stage. though in this also Germany is far
ahead Of other countries
The Hamburger Nachrichten learns
from a trustworthy source in Berlin that
in the course of next month extensive
trials will be conducted in all three sys-
TENS. and that the new war minister has
given instructions that the tasks set for
various airships shall correspond with
the necessities OF actual warfare. 1t Is
believed that airships will be tested as to
their capabilities Of maneuvering at d
height of 10000 feet.
According to the same authority. the
war ministry is following with keen at
tention the experiments with flying ma
chimes heavier than air. especially the
military aeroplane itself will soon be
ready for the trials that are to be con-
Quoted by its pioneers.
The Hamburg journal learns further
| that the war ministry attaches little I'M
portance TO the flights of Wright and his
confederates. as these are conducted at
an inconsiderabe height above the
ground. Far better accommodating serv-
ice, it is maintained, can still be rem
dered by the observation ladders which
were introduced into the Prussan army
several years ago.
These are easily transported, and offer
practically no surface as a target for the
enemys bullets. and enable the recon-
noiterer with a good glass to make valua-
BILE observations within wide radius and
from a fixed position.

Riotous scenes characterized the pro-
ceedings at the annual congress of the
German Socialist party at Leipzig.
There were no signs of the fraternity
preached by socialists, but plenty OF ex-
hibitions of intolerance and mutual
hatred. During the debate one socialist
member of the reichstag. Herr David, in
terrupted another deputy. Herr Ledebour.

Ledebour retorted by saying: You have

Another socialist deputy. Herr Fischer,
denounced the organ of the party in Ber-
lin, the Vorwaerts, and the editor. Herr
Davidson, retaliated by calling Herr
Fischer unpleasant names. Herr David
son described his colleague, Herr Lede-
bour. absolute fool, and Deputy
Fischer returned to the attack on the
Vorwaerts in very vigorous terms.
Herr Ledebour declared that he would
not allow his comrade. Herr Schmidt, to
be his schoolmaster, and Herr Curt Els
ner. the editor of the socialist daily paper
at Nuremberg. held Herr Ledebour up to
ridicule by calling him a monkey.
At this stage Herr Lupinski, who was
presiding. shouted: Il beg that you will
not degrade the debate by these personal
remarks" The exchange of insulting
epithets and abuse. couched in disgraceful
language. continued throughout the sit
tings.

Correspondence Of The Star.


GENEVA. September q. 1909.
The closing banquet of the Young Egyp-
tians' congress here was perfect orgy Of
violent speeches against the British occu-
patton Of Egypt.
Naturally, as the oratory was anti-Brit-
ish and wholly directed against the Brit
ish government, socialist and Irish NJ. rs
from the British house of commons were
prominent among the speakers. Keir
Hardie. ex-socialist leader in the house
Of commons. declared that the British oc-
cupation was the eighth plague of Egypt.
while both he and G. n. Barnes. another
socialist NJ. P, declared that the efforts
Of Egyptian patriots to obtain independ-
ence would be backed by the full force
of the socialist-labor party in the British
parliament.
Then, after several speeches had been
delivered in Arabic. one of the speakers
denouncing the khedive as mere pup
pet in the hands OF the English tyrants. -
T. NJ. Kettle. the Irish NJ. P who had
been prominent at the congress, delivered
another TRADE against British rule in
both Egypt and Ireland. He closed by
countries by the invader.
The congress can hardly be described as
pronounced success. The delegates in
cluded hardly any one Of Importance in
Egypt, and cannot by the widest stretch
of the imagination be supposed to repre-
sent any serious body of opinion in that
country.

ST PETERSBURG, September 20. 1900.
During the recess the st. Petersburg
chancelleries have been drafting for re-
vising variety of projects of reform
in important departments of administra-
ton. 1t is to be presumed that many
Of the projects will have a more definite
and concrete significance than the ma
jority of such schemes have had during
the last few years. The government APP
pears to be slowly abandoning its att-
tude Of unmodif1ed repression. and seri-
ously facing the necessity for the enact
ment of large number of far-reaching
reforms.
Many important measures have already
been introduced INTO the duma and will
be discussed during the early stages of
the coming session. Others are still in
process of revision in government COM
missions and subcommissions, and will
probably be brought into the duma dur
ing the winter. AS to parliamentary in
stltutions. they appear to be fairly secure
for the present.
The extreme reactionaries, as far as
they are represented in the union of
the Russian people. have lost In prestige
during the summer, chiefly owing to the
revelations made at the Herzenstein trial
in regard to the completely of the leaders
of the union in political assassination.
The emperors visits abroad have done
something indirectly to strengthen NJ.
Stolypin's position. and to insure a GER
tain amount stability in the external
and internal olicy of the empire.
1t may be resumed. therefore, that NJ.
Stolypin anl the duma will be able to
act for time in concert. and that
a considerable number of the bills which
have been drafted during the year by
the government chancelleries will escape
the usual fate of such productions, and
will actually become. In more or less
modified form, the law of the land.

When the kaiser visited Palestine sew

known as the Dormition the place where
according to tradition. the Blessed Vir-
gin died. The emperor made over the

ton of a great basilica. The belfry of
the new basilica dominates Mount Sion.
but there have been no bells; the Turks
objected, because there is mosque not
far off-greatly venerated by Mohamme-
dams as being built, they say, over the
tomb of David-and Christian bells must
not break in on the chanting of the 10

of the tower; it was forbidden to hoist
them into place before the Ottoman par
lament could pronounce on the matter.
The Mohammedans had petitioned the
grand vizier, the grand vizier had re-
ferred the question to the parliament,
the parliament had referred it to sub
committee, and the subcommittee kept
on doing nothing.
A German pilgrimage arrived in Jeru-
salem at the end of August. saw the
bells, heard the history, ana settled the
question on the spot, with the aid of
stout ropes and scores Of hands, the
Turks looking on with horror at the dar-
