Abraham Lincoln.

am going to tell you about
our sixteenth President. His
name was Abraham Lincoln.
His fathers name was Thomas
Lincoln. When they moved to
Kentucky they built a little log
cabin. Abraham himself helped
him to build it.
When Abraham was a small
boy he borrowed a book from
a man, telling about some great
work that some man had done.
Abraham told his father he was
going to do some great work like
that man did. He had kept the
book for two or three days and
one night he laid the book up in
the loft.
The house that they lived in
had only one small room in it and
a loft where Abraham slept had
two planks or two boards which
served for a bed and he had
scarcely any cover.
He laid the book up there one
night where he slept and that
night it rained and rained in on
the book and nearly ruined it.
He went to the owners house
and told him about the book and
made an agreement with him that
he would work for him for three
days and then the books would
be his. He worked for the man
three days and helped cut fodder
and paid for the books and then
the book was his. Then Abraham
Lincoln's father got killed by the
Indians one day when they were
out killing deer and animals for
food. Then Abraham married
and he had three sons. He moved
to Indiana and built him a little
house.,
They had lived there about a
year arid his wife died, and then

Good Roads Cheap.

About ten years ago Nebraska
began to make good roads. The
process was simple. In most
cases farmers were induced to
make more or less crude drags
and crown the roads bounding
their farms, that is, build up a
central ridge sloping the sides
away. Those who led in this
enterprise are now finding much
satisfaction in the fact that the
roads which have been SO gated
for years land most of { in
the state have been) are l5hard
that they have stood the test of
this years extraordinary rains
and uncommonly heavy automo-
bile travel. After months during
which many inches of rain fell
nearly eveEy day, tSIfdads which

Composition On Summer.

1t was on one fine summer
morning when a large crowd of
girls and boys went out in the
woods to spend the day. They all
took their dinners and had a nice
time. They got grapes, chestnuts
and all kind of nuts.
They met with another crowd
of girls and boys; they all found
a large spring and they all took a
drink. They sat down and ate
their dinners and rested. They
all went just a little farther and
found a large black snake and
some of the boys killed it; and it
was in summer and snakes were
every where. The boys found a
tree full of squirrels and some
of the boys climbed the tree and
got some little squirrels and they
took them home with them. 1t
soon became three or four O'Clock
and they had to go home.
Some of the girls tore their
dresses. One of the girls lost her
ribbon and handkerchief, and
another one laid her sweater
down and left it laying on the
ground, and she went back to look
for it and could not find it. The
largest girl lost her watch and
she cried over it.

BUILDING GOOD ROADS

More than so counties in Ken
lucky are actually at work building
roads under state supervision and
with state aid. Twenty other coun-
ties have asked for and been grant
ed such aid and are now preparing
to begin work. The statewide road
building movement is on in earnest,
and 1t is here to stay.
AT the two penitentiaries, at
Frankfort and Eddyville, there are
1000 men convicts. A large pro-
portion of that number are ply
sically capable of working on the
roads, Instead of being so worked,
they are let out to prison con-
tractors at an annual loss to the
state.
At the coming election, a consti-
tutional amendment to work the con-
victs on the roads is to be voted on.
1t has been twice submitted by the
General Assembly and once adopt
ed by the people. That adoption
was nullified by failure to adver-
tise the amendment within the pre-
scribed 80 days The necessary ad.
vertising has now been done. The
whole question is in the hands OF
the voters, and both political par.
ties have declared for adoption
in their state platforms.
The prison contractor is opposed
to adoption. 1t will put an end to
his profits. Organized labor is g
unit on wanting to see the amend
ment adopted. 1t will put an end
to convict competition with free
labor. 1t will put men at work OF
the roads where there is now 6
scarcity of labor.
In the state Of Virginia, 1t was
found that convict labor effected {
saving of $1,50O mile in the cos
of building roads. In a score o
other states, where this labor IL
used, 1t has been demonstrated tina
roads can be built with contrac
labor at half the cost of free labor
| Convict labor on the roads ha
proved good for the state and goot
for the convict. 1t has helped hin
physically and morally. 1t has, il
many instances, restored him t.
good citizenship, and a convict re
stored to good citizenship is a
asset; a convict released to folloy
life of crime is liability.
