and doubtless will always remain so.
Considering his talents and brilliant
family connections. the last supposi-

charitable one.
Lincoln said that his early life
might be described In n line from
Gray, "The short and simple annals
Of the poor" He came Of English
Quakers. His parents. while Of good
family. belonged 70 the frontier, had
little or no education and no money.
The son was never burdened with
these things himself. His schooling
altogether did not amount to a year.
Yet he taught himself. reading omniv-

cure. Fortunately these were the
best-the Bible, Shakespeare, Aesop,
''Pilgrlm's Progress" Thomas Paine,
Robert Burns and the lives Of Wash

This day Is the one hundredth an

contributed their full share toward
the elevation and betterment of the
human race; but II is today the COM
memoration OF Lincoln's birthday
that more intensely appeals to the
American citizen. as one deserving OF

that OF Washington. To Lincoln and

would have proven too stupendous

This issue OF the Evening Press
devotes several columns to Lincoln
features which will be interesting to
the reader. We especially wish to call
attention to. and ask every one to
read the extract from his Gettysburg
address which, more than any other

broadness Of his mind. Along with
