ABR. Lincoln,
THE BOY AND MAN

Abraham Lincoln, the 18th presi-
dent of the United States, was born
in Hardin County, Kentucky. February
u, 1909. His ancestors we're English
Quakers who settled in America in
the 18th century. His grandfather,
Abraham Lincoln, a man OF property,
removed from Virginia to Kentucky
about 1850, with three sons. Thomas,
the youngest, who was a carpenter by
trade, on June ~, 1906, married Nancy
Hanks, a young woman of lowly con-
pition but possessing qualities Of in
tellect and character above the aver
age. From this union came three
children, the oldest a daughter; the
second, named Abraham, and the
third, a son who died in infancy.
Lincoln's parents were plain people
and the log cabin they lived in was
a true home. The father could not
read or write-except to serawl his
signature-but he was always poor and
Is described as shiftless. The mother
could read but not write, A woman
OF piety and excellent Judgment, she
left an indelible impress on her son.
From her he inherited the serious
temperament, frightened by the spirit
OF playfulness that was so prominent
a trait of the nan throughout his
troubled career. She died in 1918 and
the boy OF nine deeply mourned her
loss. In later years he said: "All
that ! am and all that ] hope to be. 1
owe to. my angel mother" 81. e., =
In 1916 Thomas Lincoln removed to
Spencer county, Indiana, sparsely-
settled district In his boy Abra-

The pair begin to dislike each

Intolerance grows into hatred. They
fly from this state to the divorce
court, which by contrast seems to
them the ark of peace A complete
marriage contract, settling before

ounce of prevention that would cure

A rich mans refusal to give his
wife money is the last remnant Of
the ageslong slavery of women. 1t
it the last of the CALLING bonds. The
end of this would be the lifting of
the yoke of serfdom from her neck.
Having to ask a man for money is
the brand of the slave on a woman's
cheek. His refusal of 1t stirs flame

greatest department stores told me
the lumber of women who order bills
sent to their husbands for dresses
they never buy is amazing. They
buy, we will say, three gowns, but
they order a bill sent to their hus-
bands for six, and ask the store to
advance them the amount of the
three they did not buy. Or they ask
a friend to buy gowns and have them
charged to their account and col
lect the money from the friend.
Scarcely a dressmaker is there
who does not overcharge in her
bill with the connivance of the
wife. The wife collects the ex-
cess from the dressmaker or the
dressmaker may have given her
the money.
So a man puts premium upon dis
honesty. He makes of his wife
thief and a liar. The marriage built
upon a foundation of distrust on one
side and dishonesty on the other is
a house built upon the sands.
