Won't Enter City.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 13.-Offic-

declare that Car Ferdinand has de-
cided not to lead his Bulgars into
Constantinople, fearing to precipitate
a massacre.
Privately this is interpreted to mean
that Ferdinand fears to expose his
troops to the cholera which is raging
within the city.

THE RED MANS LAST STAND.

At last the white man has started
proceedings which may take it's lands
from the only remaining tribe of IT.
dams which still inhabits it's aboriginal
haunts-the Navajos, writes Richard
Barry in Harper's Weekly. One of the
first acts of the New Mexico legisla-
ture, passed within a few weeks of the
admission of the state to the Union.
was a memorial presented to the presi-
dent and to congress in the latter
part of April, asking that the vast
acreage now held by the Navajos be
opened to white settlement.
This is the last chapter in that his
casian has all but obliterated the In
dian from the continent which was
once his. It is a history which no con-
scientious American is happy to read,
for it contains, in its final analysis
much that is not creditable to our hu-
manitarian spirit.
1t will require the approval of the
president and of congress to consummate
this final seizure of the red mans last
primitive habitat, and, as that ap-
prevail has not yet been granted, and
is only being sought, a short inquiry
into the condition of the Navajos and
their home is interesting now
The Navajos are the only tribe OF
Indians living today without a subsidy
from the government They are tho
only Indians who do not receive rations
from the public stores. They are the
only Indians who still maintain their
primitive tribal conditions, both of
economic life and of government. They
are the only Indians who have develop
ed commercially their own handicrafts
blanket and basket weaving-without
aid from the white man. Moreover,
they are law-abiding and have given us
no trouble for over 40 years. They are
living down there in the southwest,
free, happy, prosperous, self-supporting
and physically and morally clean. Tu-
berculosis, which has attacked every
other tribe of Indians, once it has come
in close contact with the white man, |
has passed them by. Sexual diseases,
which have ravaged every other tribe
once it has been corralled and placed
under the restrictions of governmental
supervision, are unknown among them
They are an aristocratic people, proud |
In their aloofness both from the whites
and from other Indians. They do not

THE EAST SIDE PARK.

Now that the city commissioners have
passed the necessary ordinance for the
establishment of a park on the East
side, the time is at hand for the de-
velopment of the plans as to just what
sort of park it shall be. The public
park of today, if it is to be one worth
while, must be something more than
mere strolling and rest place, with
desirable shade trees and attractive
flower beds and shrubbery. Such
park in the very heart of a city is
all right for a breathing place and
adds greatly to the beauty of a town.
1t is also delightful environment for
the people living in it's immediate
neighborhood.
But a big park such as the one on
the East side is going to be must be
much more than this, if it is going
to fill the bill. 1t must also be a recre-
alton ground, where the children and
the grown-ups who desire, can partici-
pate in such wholesome athletic sports
as may please their fancy. These are
now considered the most important
features of the parks in the larger
cities of the country. They, are just
as essential for the parks in the smallt
cities
There should be big romping place
for the girls and boys where they can
play all their simple little games, such
as tag, bean-bag, etc. There should be
baseball diamonds for little and big
boys, which can be turned into football
fields in the fall. Public tennis courts
should also have a corner. A shallow
pool for wading and the sailing of toy
boats would be a fine thing for the
youngsters if the topography of the
new park will lend itself readily to
such an improvement.
None of these park adjuncts will cost
much money. Perhaps it will not be
possible to provide all of them, and |
equip them as they should be either |
this summer or next. But when the |
plans for laying out the park are made |
there should be provisions for all OF
these '-ings, and many more, such as
swings, teeter boards and croquet
grounds.
The opportunity is at hand for To
pekans to have a real park not only
for the East side but for all sides of
the town. And it is an opportunity
that should not be neglected.

nelghborhood making frantic inquiries as

somehow, when she sees things in the
paper, doesn't promise herself to cut them
out and then forget. Instead she cuts
them right out and pastes them in a scrap
book in which she keeps all such helpful
bits OF information from magazines, news
papers and other sources. Consequently
almost everyone in the neighbo rhood has
learned to look to her as feminine Solo
mon to be interviewed in time of trouble
The newspapers and women's magazines
are full of little household hints and sug-
gestions for times of emergency. Some
of these are tommyrot but more are very
good, and many represent the researches
and discoveries of experts in these lines.
And yet not one housewife in a hundred
takes the little pains necessary to work
this mine of household gold. The other
ninety-nine like the lady across the
small scrap-book need not cost over
a quarter; scissors you have; and paste
you can make out of tablespoonful of
flour. And If you will only expend that
quarter, Mrs. Housewife, 1 guarantee you
that within year your investment will
have paid back the principal twice over
in the assistance your scrap-book will
have given you.

question meant housewives in particular,

one is wondering how all this applies to
other people. In this way, my friend.
spoke to the housewives in particular be-
cause the little anecdote which related
had impressed upon my mind how many
opportunities they were losing, but they
are by no means the only class who
ought to keep a scrap-book- Indeed,
think I might say without exaggeration
that everyone could, with advantage to
himself, keep a scrap-book, of items re-
lating to their particular trades pro-
LESSONS in the case of those who are for
tunate enough to have definite occupa-
ton, and for those who are not, of items
relating to whatever in life interests them
the most.
A scrap-book of this sort once started
is both a valuable reference book and
new interest in life.
Why not invest that quarter tomorrow?
would say TODAY.

Abe IincoIn,s Mother.

A friend requests me to give fol
publication (if 1 can do SOD a sketch
of the family of Nancy Hanks, the
mother of Abraham Lincoln. She
tells me she has read every history
of Abraham Lincoln, and considers
it very strange that nothing has ever
been written by the historians of the
name was Nancy Hanks !, ~
The historians never made any eff
fort to trace the pedigree of the fam
lily. Raymond, in his Life and State
Papers of Abraham Lincoln" de-
clares nothing is known concerning
her ancestry or early life. He mere
~ mentions that she was a Virginian
by birth. The name of Hanks is rare
in America, yet we have a straighter
line on the pedigree of the .Hankses
than we have the Lincolns. Beyond
the grandfather of Abe Lincoln, we
know absolutely nothing of the fam
lily pedigree. -.
The earliest account we have of the
Hankses is their first appearance in
Gloucester county, Virginia, in 1878.
In deed book No. 6, land grants, page
472, 1878, is recorded the grant of
264 acres to Thomas Hanks. And on
page ATS, same year, 1873, is record
ed a patent to Thomas Hanks for 500
acres. In the early colonial history
of Virginia, a person who paid for
passage
to settle in Virginia was entitled to
land grant of several hundred acres.
This was why he was given a grant of
land. The patent of 500 acres which
is recorded was land paid for in cash
or tobacco, which was the circu1at-
ing medium in Virginia. In course of
time, the family increased and emf
grated westward. We next hear of
them in Orange county, lao miles
west of Gloucester. Among the mar
riages recorded in Orange court
house on March 26, 1903, is Rodney
Hanks, son of Reuben and Elizabeth
Hanks, to Alice Chandler. But they
didn't stop at Orange court house.
We find a family of them in Rocking
ham county, Virginia, in 1890, and an
other in Shenandoah county In 1880
Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of
President Lincoln, removed to Ken
lucky from Rockingham county, Vir-
ginia, and we are certain that the
Hanks family was with the Lincolns
during that journey The next ac-
count we have of the Hankses Is in
1906. In that year, in Kentucky, |
Thomas Lincoln Gather of the presi- |
dent) married Nancy Hanks.
The next account of the Hankses |
was at the battle of .Tippecanoe, in |
Indiana, November z, 1911. We find |
the names of Peter and James Hanks. |
peter was killed. He was a member |
Of Captain Berry's company of mill

nave been brothers, and II so, l am

ONE WAR; MUCH FTGHTING

There is supposed to be only one
real war going on now. 1t is the
dreary and uninteresting struggle over
Tripon That causes little fighting and
less bloodshed- The Italians do not
get into the interior of the country
they claim to have annexed to their
kingdom. The Turks cannot prevent
them from holding the coast, under
cover of their warships. Now and
then Italian vessels seize a Turkish
island in the vicinity of Asia Minor
and the Turks retaliate, as best they
can, by making things harder for Ital-
ians in Turkey.
But there is a good deal of hard
hghting and no little loss of life going
on where there is no formal war, rec
ognized by the great powers of the
world. Mexico is the nearest instance
of a country officially at peace and in
1act torn by bloody strife. Cuba is
another, though on small scale.
Morocco is contributing literally to
the powder market. The Moors fight
French troops in the Fee district as
fercely as they do the Spaniards on
