ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

s.Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States of America, was born February 1, 1909, in .Hardin County, Kentucky. His grandfather, Abraham Lincoln. and his father, Thomas, was born in Vir- ginia. His mother, Nancy Hanks, was also born in Virginia.
 His.ancestors, on his fathers side, were from Berks County, Pa.
 About 17S1, while his father was still a lad, the family of Abraham :Lincolns grandfather moved to Ken ledekH When Thomas Lincoln, the Efathera4ef the future president was aabout six years old, his father, Abra- ham, was shot and instantly killed by fa'1fadian, Lwhile working in a corn feld'near his. home. When Abraham Linc8fn, rfrer future president, was 8 'yearsp!Sla xnNf father sought a home : amid; the forests of Indiana, in what is now known as Spencer county. Here the family lived in rude log cabin. and Young Lincoln was engaged daily in the hard. work incident to a pioneer )ife: ~ Pdblic schools had not then reached the far west. A private school was opened occasionally in these re- mote settlements by wandering teach CTS, who were able to instruct in the merest rudiments of learning. Lin coin attended such school at times.- in all not more than ten or twelve months His mother, woman of fine physical organization and of great | force of character, and possessed of shrewd, practical common sense. com hined with deep religious feeling and great gentleness of manner, taught him to read and write. She died in 1918 when Lincoln was nine years of age.
 At 19 years of age Lincoln made a trip to New Orleans as hired hand on a flat boat and on his return his father moved to Macon County, Illi- nois. Lincoln got out the timber for a log cabin and built it. and enclosed ten acres of land with rail fence of his own making. On account of thu unhealthfulness of the region at that time the family abandoned the place soon after. Soon after, being 21 years of age, Lincoln hired himself to MT. -Offut, living in Sangamon County. to b,,;1d O fat hoaf and float it down the Sangamon, Illinois and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. He then be- came a clerk in Offut's store at New Salem. He diligently employed his

ALASKA FARMING.

In a recent issue of the Seattle P.- II. that paper states that there are thousands of acres of rich valley lands in the North on which the crops of the north temperate zone may be pro1uc- ed in abundance; where the growing season is sufficiently long and warm enough to mature crops before early frosts, and where the winters are not so trying as on the Middle Western prairies. On these lands the P.-l. says that wealth will be produced in general farming and dairying. This may he so; but in our opinion Alaska will never be a bright gem in Uncle Sam's diadem of agricultural States for the reason that the winters are too long and the summers too rainy. The Territory has so many other possibili- ties of wealth that it is ridiculous to try to call attention to the poorest source-that of farming. A man can raise all the vegetables in Alaska he desires, for his own use; he may have "a fine flower garden, and many kinds of berries, but when it comes to farm ing for profit man should be arrest ed for fraud who would persuade a horny handed tiller of the soil to try to make living at his trade here. Alaska has millions in fish, in miner als, in timber, and in water power, and these should be played up to the exclusion of that agricultural stuff. Our winters are long and tedious, but our summers are grand, though short. There is no more comparison, how ever, between the possibilities for farming in Eastern Washington and Alaska, as some boomers would have the people believe, than there is be- tween the climate of Hawaii and San Francisco.
 By sticking closely to the truth and playing up the true resources of the Territory we will acquire much more contented and dependable pop ulation than if we entice people to come here expecting conditions which do not exist only in the minds of a few real estate boosters. While we raise fine vegetables for our own use the man who tried to make living trucking would soon go bankrupt. It is true that milk sells for 25c per quart and potatoes for $40 per ton. but if they were easily raised and cattle did as we'll here as some Alas
 kan papers would have outsiders be-
 lieve they would be much cheaper.
 Alaska is one of the grandest countries on earth, but we would not advise our eastern agriculturists to
 look with longing eyes on those thou sands of acres of fertile land depict ed in such glowing terms by the P.-I.

America, with Jefferson Davis as pres

America, with Jefferson Davis as pres ident.
 Lincoln in his inaugural address declared the acts of secession null and void. He maintained the Union was perpetual and invioiate, and announc- ed with great firmness the determine tion of the government to assert it's authority and hold all forts and places yet under its jurisdiction.
 Then followed four years of a de- vastating war, during which Abra- ham Lincoln displayed the qualities of statesmanship which gained for him the honor and esteem of the en- tire world, and title of the greatest president the country had ever knowD. Lincoln was again nominated for the presidency, and again elected to of fee the following November.
 On the evening of April 4, 1865, ac- companied by Mrs. Lincoln and two friends, the President attended per formance of "Our American Cous- ins" at Ford's Theatre, in Washing ton. In the midst of the play John Wilkes Booth, an actor, stealthily en- tered the box occupied by the Presi- dent and his party, and discharged a pistol at the Presidents head, infiict- ing a wound from which he died the following day. Booth was found 12 days later and shot.
 MT. Lincoln was a man about six feet, four inches in height, thin, wiry. sinewy and raw-boned. He was nsr- row across the shoulders and thin through the chest, and slightly stoop- shouldered, yet he was man of great physical strength, lifting with ease, when in his prime weights of six and even seven hundred pounds. Home ly in countenance he was yet prepo- sessing in features. He was man of the working classes, a child of the West, a typical American, self-reliant, self-made and honest to the core. He was a charming conversationalist, ever full of enlightening and inspirit- ing humor.
 He was the liberator of the slave. and the successful ruler of mighty people. Dignified, magnanimous, pa tient, considerate, manly, true, with malice toward none and charity for all" his fame will ever grow brighter as time passes and his great work is better understood.

HONEST ABE.

HONEST ABE. v HONEST Abe was . simple
 A simple man and rare. X His mind was a true di-
 vining rod, He marched straight on and he marched with God. Loving the soil on which he trod And mankind everywhere. Honest Abe was a loyal man, A loyal man and true. His eyes shone bright with right eous light, He marched straight of in the darkest night, Cheering the weak with his words of might,
 Giving each one his due.
 III. Honest Abe was a noble man, A man of the helping hand. His soul was filled with freedoms song, It. sounded clear as he marched along Seeking the way to right wrong Heavy upon the land. And Honest Abe was a working man,
 Born of lowly name. By the cabin door that gave him birth He learned the labor of the earth, While he marched straight on to take his worth Into the halls of fame. :. Thomas Tapper.

His great speech at Cooper lnst'- ute, New York City. February 27, 1860, made him lasting reputation throughout the country and the world as a speaker. He closed that speech with the ringing words: "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to dc cur duty as we understand it."
 On May 6, 1860, the Republican national convention met at Chicago "No extension of slavery" was the cardinal feature of it's platform. Will liam H. Seward was the principal competitor of Mir. Lincoln for the presidency, but on the third ballot Lincoln was nominated. On Novem Der 6 Lincoln was elected president and was inaugurated at Washington on March 4, 1861. As soon as his election had been assured the extremf partisans of slavery had consummat- ed their preparations for an insured tion, and a movement for separation from the Union had already com- menced in South Carolina. The slave states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas went with her into secession, and a provi- sional government was organized termed the Confederate States ot
