COTTON DECLINES
AFTER EARLY RISE
Bullish Weather and Spot ADJ
vices Affect Local Mar
ket Prices.

An early advance in the cotton market
was followed by weakness late yester-
day with the close barely steady at a
net decline OF 10 to as points. Bullsh
weather and spot advlces seemed to in
spire general or aggressive buying and
the disposition to take profits on recent
purchases was doubtless increased by
unfavorable reports from the goods
trade. With general business very quiet
It required no large orders to influence
prices. and much OF the trading was at
tributed to the evening up OF commit
ments for over Thanksgiving. January
sold at PITS on the early advance and
broke to 27.15, closing at AIS, compared
with 27.45, the final quotation OF Mon
day.
Reports that one OF the leading Fall
River manufacturing concerns had shut
down 5000 looms because OF unfavor-
able trade conditions naturally attracted
considerable attention, ana sentiment
during the day seemed to be fuctuating
between the unfavorable news from the
goods trade and the bullish news from
the South.

Mother Earth Bring Forth
Her Fruit.

Mother Earth four times year
brings forth fruit of joy. Summer au-

toy. Spring the buoyant spirit brings,
with one look beguiles snowbound
fields and frozen seas into melting
smiles On the green dandelons well
come lovely spring, crown him with
their jeweled crowns, hail him as their
king. Yields to summer he his throne
without much ado, whom with favor all
receive, pretty maidens WOO. For
he serves their vanity, doing all he
can to enhance their beauty with just
touch OF tan. Love him lilies, tulips,
rose, peach and cherries red plucks
the rose, elOpes, and soon summer too,
has fled. In his trail harvest rich
golden autumn finds, which with care
and thoughtfulness into sheaves he
binds. Till the day Of giving thanks
spreads he out his gold, gathers up his
hoard, departs at the blast of cold.
Ringing of the merry bells cleaves the
frosty air, it's the gladstone herald OF
coming infant year. On and off the

heard the brush breaking ahead of
him. With wave Of his hand he
warned his mother; in a moment a
fawn attempted to pass within few
feet Of Abe and Mrs. Lincoln. Abe
fired and the fawn fell dead in Its
tracks, bullet in its heart. The Lin
coins had enough meat to last them
through the remainder of the winter.
Little Abe did not feel proud Of hav-

me the next time l saw him: Austin,

Lincoln's Adventurous Spirit.
A quarter of mile west of Hodgen-
vile there Is cave with an entrance
in cliff overlooking Nolynn river.
There are few boys who ever lived in
Hodgenville any length of time who
Lincoln was no exception. A number
of years ago an old man by the name
Of Brownfield told me that Lincoln,
when a small child was lost In this par
tlcular cavern, and that he spent the
entire night in the cave. HE was
treed," said Mr.. Brownfield, "by his
faithful dog the next morning" From
notes which I made at the time l am
enabled to relate the narrative In Mr..
Brownheld's own language, or prac-
tically in his own language: "Whlle
Lincoln did not possess as adventur-
Gus a nature as some boys" said Mr..
Brownfield, "he had just enough Of the
boyish curiosity in him to cause him
to attempt the hazardous task Of find
ing hidden gold in caves. 1t was late
In the evening Of early spring Il can
not recall the year) that the neighbOrs
were notified that little Abe Lincoln
was lost that he had left home in the
afternoon to 60 to HodgenS' mill, but
that late In the evening he had not re-
turned. Tom Lincoln spread the news,
telling all the neighbors. that Little
Abe's mamma was beside herself. she
being afraid that the Injuns had car
ried her boy away The neighbors
gathered Mt the home of Tom Lincoln,
bringing with them torches Of pine
knots. The woods were secured, and
the halloolng kept up till daylight, but
no trace Of Little Abe was found.
Again the searchers gathered at the
Lincoln cabin to consult with each
other as to the best course to pursue,
but before any plan Of search was
agreed upon Little Abe and his rabbit
dog came mOseying up.
Young Lincoln had left his sack of
corn at the mill, and while waiting his
turn decided to stroll down the river
Just to see how the "land lay" beyond
the confines Of Hodgen's mill. He
found the cave, hurriedly dreamed a
dream of hidden treasures, and in he
went, implicitly believing that he
would come forth with an abundance
of gold. He could neither find gold or
the exit of the cave. Early in the
morning of the next day his faithful
dog, following the trail of Little
Abe's' footsteps, 'treed him. and led
the way out of the hole In the ground
that Abe had pulled in after him. Tom
Lincoln piled the hickory but the good
mother took Little Abe to her bosom

continued Mr.. Gollaher, "but he was
not too badly frightened to grin and
say: 4 hope / can do that much for
you some day, Austin He really want
ed something to happen TO me that he
might be placed in an attitude Of hav-
ing saved my life. Little Abe was
full of gratitude and spent lot of
his time trying to find some way to
help those who had been good to him.
He often said to me that IL he ever
found a gold mine there were just
three people he would take into his
confidence; one was myself, and the
other two were his mother and Mr.
Hodgen, the miller. l asked him

ut was his Sunday cap" said Mr.. Col
laher, land Abraham was proud Of 1t.
A journeyman preacher passed through
the country one day and stopped at the
Lincoln cabin. He decided to hold a
meeting IN the nelghborhood. During
the series Of revivals the preacher lost
his hat, and Mrs. Lincoln loaned Little
Abe's' cap to the minister. 1t was
never returned. Abraham asked me
what / thought of the preacher, and
/ told him that / thought that the fell
low was q rascal. well, Austin said
Abraham, you know mother has been
telling us about the thief on the cross
I wish the Jews would catch this
thief Little Abe said that he would
always be good, but that he would
never join a church. He never forgot
the preacher who stole the cap, and he
frequently said to me that he. never
wanted another Sunday cap-one at q
time was enough"
Tom Lincoln was Of rowing dispo-
sition. He was frequently away from
home for days at time. During Tom
Lincoln's visits into the wilderness
"Little Abe" was his mothers only pro.
lection. He never left his mother
while Tom Lincoln was away, except
to visit his traps, and Mrs. Lincoln
often accompanied him on these er
rands. Austin Gollaher told me, O
short time before he died, that Ton
Lincoln owned two fllntlock rifles; one
of these guns he carried with him ant
the other he left at home. During
Tom Lincoln's absence on one occa

Baker Vet0es Plan For
Using Soldier Guards

Washington, Feb. 27.-Soldiers
won't be- used to potrol the levees
Of the lower Mississippi. The con-
clusion is deducted from a for
NAL announcement today ofpolicy
by the Secretary of war. "The
soldier in training who has offer
ed his life for the defense OF his
country should not sacrifice his
effectiveness by performing police
duty in protection of property
back of the line. This is the
duty of the citizens at home"
says Secretary Baker.
The announcement Of policy is
the outcome of a flood of appli-
cations from the operators OF
manufacturing plants, but it is
equally applicable to the petition
now on file at the War Depart
ment, asking that the levees along
the lower Mississippi be guarded
by soldiers during the period OF
high water this spring. Further
quotations from the announce
ment of policy are as follows:
"The theater of operations for
armed soldiers is the battlefield
of Europe. Each civilian should
aid his country by acting as a
guard for the detection and pre-
vention Of intrigue, deceit and
all the familiar stealthy opera
tions of the enemy in our midst.
Each soldier unnecessarily detain.
ed as a guard in this country aids
and abets the enemy in Europe.
"The government Of the United
States is making every effort to
train the army Of the United
States, and place it on the French
front in contact with the enemy.
The man who has been given the
opportunity to fight the enemy in
France should not be called back
nor held in this country for any
other purpose than the necessary
military training"
''The soldier in uniform, on
fixed beat, can be avoided like
most other fixed obstacles, ant
the real danger is the concealed
lurker.'
