family moved to Indiana. Though it
was a seven-day journey, it was en-
Joyed by the children. but Mr. and
Mrs. Lincoln met many hardships.
They had plenty OF food. but it
was coarse. Mr.. Lincoln finally got
a cabin built after they had struggled
for nearly year in their little three
sided camp.
After they had lived in Indiana
three years, Mrs. Lincoln passed
away.
This was Abe's greatest sorrow, for
his mother was his comfort. The lit
tie cabin seemed dreary and cold
after her death. Nothing seemed to
comfort poor Abe.
Another thing that gave Abe a
great blow was that his dear mother
was buried without any ceremony.
Three months later Lincoln wrote a
letter to minister OF whom he had
heard and Parson Elkin rode 100
miles to preach a sermon over her
grave. This lightened Lincoln's heart
little. In many of his speeches and
addresses he would say: "All that |

Only few minutes after Beverly's
mother had left fate worked again in
bringing William Strong and Beverly

fate was "Chug," who had taken the
casket from the safe. He had seen
gems back in the dark recesses and he
returned alone to get them. He

William standing in the study. He
leaped upon him from behind. but
Williams athletic training stood him
in good stead, for he threw the in

In the Building OF Agriculture we
saw all the different kinds of farm
products that had won prizes. The
prize fruits were in huge glass jars,
which reached almost from the floor
to the ceiling. Some of the oranges
were almost as large as my head and
they looked so big, juicy and sweet
that | could scarcely keep my hands
off of them.
! also saw honeycomb, apples, wal
nuts, peaches and pears. 1t looked
like giants breakfast table with
countless little flies buzzing and run

Next we went into building which
contained only statuary Some OF the
statues were life-size and others were
SO small that one might call them
trihkets. Some of the statues were
pale pink and looked like paintings.
The faces, necks and arms were pink,
the eyes were blue, brown or hazel
and they wore simple yellow. red or
blue frocks.
There we're so many people that it
was remarkable that some OF the
statues were not broken.
In one building there were Indian
tribes in glass case, showing how
people used to live. In another sec
lion were the Indian daggers, arrows
and other war weapons.
