LincoIn's Adventurous Spirit.
| A quarter Of mile west of Hodgen-
vile there is a cave with an entrance
in cliff overlooking Nolynn river.
There are few boys who ever lived in
HodgenviIle any length of time who
have not explored this cave. Abraham
Lincoln was no exception. A number
/ of years ago an old man by tie name
of Brownfeld told me that Lincoln,
when a small child was lost in this par
tieular 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 made at the time / am
enabled to relate the narrative in Mr..
Browntield's own language. or prac-

Lincoln did not possess as adventur-
GUS nature as some boys said Mr..
Brownfield, "he had just enough of the
boyish curiosity in him to cause him

the hallooing 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 OF the mill, and while waiting his
turn decided to stroll down tie river
Just to see how the "land lay beyond
the confines of Hodgeas 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

Preacher Kept His Cap.
An old woman gave Lincoln cap
which she had made out of fox fur.
1T was his Sunday cap,p said Mr.. Col
laher. "and 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 neighborhood During
the series of revivals the preacher lost
his hat, and Mrs. Lincoln loaned Little
Abe's' cap to the minister. 1t was

Kerensky was an honest man. He
could not make promises he knew he
could not fulnn. He could not blind
himself to the primary necessity Of end
ing Hohenzollernism. So the tide flowed
too fast for him. Finally it flowed oTr
him and he was submerged.
He is gone from power, never TO re-
turn. The Russian masses have passed
way beyond him in their demands The
Bolshevlh do not lead Russia today.
And they are not directing Russia to-
day. RUSSIA is DIRECTING THE boil
SHEVIKI.
Russia IS pushing the Bolshevlkl
along. Russia IS pushing them FASTER
THAN THEY CAN co.
IT SEEMS INEVITABLE THAT LEN
INE AND TROTZKY AND THEIR CLAN
after they have had their day, shall
also fail, and be swept under in the
mad and irresistible flood Of revolution
which Is fast turning to anarchy.
The Bolsheviki are the maximalists OF
Russia. The belief is current that they
got their name in this way. The belief
is wrong. In the Socialist conference at
Geneva in 1902 the Russian socialist
party split into two groups. The ma
jority group was called the Bolsheviki
and that is what the name means-ma-
iority. The smaller group was called
Menshiviki, and their name means min
ority.
The Bolsheviki were the cataclysmic
socialists. The Menshevlki were the
educational socialists. Therefore when
the first extreme, the Kerensky or as
it might be called the Menshivikl rule
in Russia failed, the next thing 10 do
was 10 turn to the next further ex-
treme, the Bolsheviki rule.
The Bolsheviki are already going the
way Kerensky went The procession Of
the desires Of the Russian people has
already caught up with them-nay
passed them. Now It is they. not Ker-
ensky, who can not make promises fast
enough, and who in Russias complete
Generalization can not keep the prom
