Tomorrow will mark the one hun
dred and fifth anniversary OF the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the
tallest man in the front rank or
American statesmen. Born on the
twelfth day of February, 1909, in
Hardin county, Kentucky, of humble
parentage, he, by his own efforts
rose step by step to the highest posi-
tion within the power of the nation
to bestow; becoming the sixteenth
President of the United States.
Wherever the name of Abraham Lin
coin is known-and that means in
every part of the civilized world
his memory is revered as one OF the
greatest and best of men in all his
tory A memorial which has been
arranged for at Washington, to cost
$2,00O,O0O, is to be erected on the
banks OF the Potomac. This memoir
ial will, when completed, be shrine
of patriotism not only for the Ameri-
can people but also for all freedom
loving men and women of every na-
ton. All honor to Abraham Lin
coin.

pets and Broken Hearts.

The dog Of Mistral. the provencal
poet. died the day after Mistral's re-
cent death. 1t Is a fairly common
thing for dogs. cats. canaries and 9TH
er pets to die a few days or even
hours after their masters. But do
they die Of grief? 1t is not likely.
A Manayunk physician examined.
the corpse OF canary that had suo-
cumbed with It's little mistress. The
canary's death, the examination.
showed, was due not to a broken heart.
but to scarlet fever. the malady TO-
which its little mistress had herself
succumbed
From this and from kindred post
mortems It is surmised that pets. when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
off-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story IL pretty, but.
alas, II won't wash.

Accident at Pinewood.

Pinewood. Dec. I. 4.-Yesterday at 10
o'clock the boiler OF the A. B. Rollings
saw mill exploded. The mill is located
four miles south of here and the first
news of the explosion was made known
by Mr.. Wilbur Rollings driving To
town in his buggy with one OF his
hands with broken leg, just above the
ankle. The colored fireman June COM
nodore was severely scalded all oyer,
left leg crushed and hand broken. He
was taken in an automobile to a hos
pital in Sumter, where his leg was am
putated and wounds dressed. He has
a slight chance to recover. The writer
visited the scene shortly afterwards
and it's miracle that everybody there
were not killed. What saved the men,
was the machinery was not in motion.
Sawyer L. W. Kirvin was lacing the
button saw belt at the time. The boiler
went straight UP and then sailed for
two hundred yards and landed against
tall pine tree, the boiler opened out
like a newspaper. The engine was
blown out its bed, turned over several
times and every spoke wys broken out
the big fly wheel.

CORN VALUABLE FOR POULTRY
Not Much Danger Of Becoming Over
fat, II Compelled to Exercise for
Their Grain.

Corn is a valuable poultry food
and It is In its abuse and not its use
that it is to be condemned. Some
fowls become fat on almost any kinG
Of food, while others will not fatteD
even on corn. There seems to be a
gooG bit Of human nature about the
makeup Of the hen. If hens are made
to exercise for their grain, and are in
e good laying condition, there is not
much danger Of their becoming over
fat. In fact It is rather difficult
matter to o7erfatten laying hens. II
is when they are slack in laying and
become lazy that the fat seems to start
to grow. When hens become toe. fat
they should be placed in separate
yard where there is no male bird, as
the attention of {. male to an oyerfat
hen is apt to hasten death. If such
hens are given only an evening feed
Of wheat and nothing during the day
except green food and water they
will soon lose considerable Of their
surplus fat.
