A Honeymoon on 81 a Week.

Four dollars week would hardly
be considered lavish expenditure
for honeymoon by the newlyweds
of this day and age, yet Abraham
Lincoln and his bride, Mary Todd
found that sum quite sufficient after
their marriage, which took place in
Springfield, Illinois, seventy-one. years
ago, Nov. 4, 1912. The coming White
House wedding has revived interest
in the romances Of past occupants OF
the executive mansion at Washington
and of these, the love story of Abra-
ham Lincoln and Mary Todd is far
from being the least interesting. No
body, least of all Lincoln himself
dreamed that the young attorney
would become president OF the Unit
ed States, and one of the greatest
names in American history. There
was violent opposition to the match
on the part of Mary Todd's relatives,
who based their objections on Lin
coins extreme poverty.
After the marriage ceremony,
which was performed at the home of
the brides sister, the young couple
went directly to the Globe Tavern, in
Springfield. There they spent their
honeymoon at a cost of 81 week for
board and room for the pair. Lin
coin did not have enough ready mon
ey to pay for honeymoon trip to the
next county, much less to Niagara
Falls or Europe. Such an adventure
is hardly possible in these days, how
ever, even if the higher contracting
parties are willing to be frugal.
Where could you get board for 81 a
week for two?-St. Joseph News

how to write at the right time. 1t is
more important that pupils in the
lower grades spend fifteen minutes
daily writing carefully under the
guidance of right ideals, than it is
that they recite daily in physiology
and geography, or even grammar
or arithmetic The same is true of
English composition. 1t is of vastly
more value to boy to be able to
talk intelligently for five minutes
on "how to select seed corn or how
to take care of horse and to write
page in good English upon these
or any other subject in which he may
be interested, than it is to know
how many bones there are in the
body, or what strait separates Asia
from America. Physiology and geog-
raphy are all right, but let us put
first things first.
Miss Jennie Ross of the Sunny
Side school, exhibited two pieces OF
water color drawing that are truly
remarkable. They were copies from
prints put out by some OF our peri
odicals, and were done on the fly
leaf of her geography. So exact were
the copies in form, coloring and even
in facial expression that many in
credulous persons had to climb up
and examine them carefully before
they could be convinced that Miss
Jennie had really done the work.
We hope to take some of her work
to the State Fair in August.
We are not yet through with the
exhibit but the hour has come when

part on the train, must be sent Leon
