LINCoLNS BIRTH

farm that raised a man" He went
swimming in the nearby creek and by
the light from the huge fireplace In
the little one-room cabin he learned
his first lessons.
Moved to Indiana.
At this time Kentucky offered few
allurements to a poor man and III
1914 the Lineolns sold the little farm
and moved to Indiana. Subsequently
Abraham Lincoln moved into Illinois
and the rest is history. But through
all the years that followed he never
forgot his first home. He rarely re-
ferred to it, but after he had become
President of the United States he Is
known to have said: "When the
war is over I would like very much
to visit my old Kentucky home. ]
remember it WE'LL"
But he never did return, and the
farm and the little log cabin had a
varied history. A few years ago IT
was given into the management OF
a Rev. J. w. Bingham, who removed
the log cabin to the exhibition at
Nashville, and later sold it to some
exhibitors who took it about the
country as a travelling show. buI
a year or two ago the logs were found
in a cellar at College Point, Lona
Island, where it was stored and WIFE
ceremony was restored to its or1glna
site.
The farm itself has been the sub
iect of litigation for several year,
and efforts have been made by va
rious interests to use it for one pur'
! pose or another.

The Secret of washing Gloves.

%The only trouble about these
wash gloves" said the lady, lis that
they dry, after washing, so very stiff
and boardlike." The salesman
wrapped the soft, pale yellow gloves
in tissue paper. THAT is easily rem
edied," he said. "I'Il tell you how to
wash gloves so that they will dry soft
and pliable, the same as new. After
you have rinsed them quite clean,
dip them in a final bath of fresh
water and rub plenty of soap into
them, drying them without rinsing
this last soap out. The soap left in
the gloves makes them wonderfully
soft-they don't then need, after dry
ing, to be rubbed soft with ten or
fifteen minutes hard labor. This
soap secret being used, wash gloves
are quite perfect. 1t is no wonder
they are completely superseding the
expensive kid glove, for they are
half as cheap again and their wash
ing is so easy-do them at bedtime,
toss them on the radiator, and in the
morning they are ready to put on

His Entry Picturesque.
Mr.. Taft's entry into New Orleans
was picturesque and thrilling. He
came up the hundred miles of the
Mississippi from its mouth on the
scout cruiser Birmingham at the rate
of nearly thirty miles an hour, break
ing all records. All the shipping in
the river had on gala dress and as
far as a dozen miles below the city
the big, muddy stream was alive with
tugs and stern Rheelers having
aboard crowds of shouting citizens.
The concert of steam whistles, brass
bands and banks lined with salutinc
enthusiasts added to the scene. A
big stern wheeler carried the local
reception committee eight miles be-
low the city, which, with a dozen tugs
and other passenger steamers, hover
led around the sleek cruiser with her
war paint, as she slowed down and
struck a seven knot pace to keep in
company.
From the flying bridge Mr.. Taft
was kept busy waving his cap and
answering salutations, while Mrs
Taft, on the quarterback, had her
share of the ovation. A big red
barge, No. %, was brought alongside
in mid-steam at the foot of Canal
street, over which the party boarded
