ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln was born in
Hardin county Kentucky in 1909
His early life was spent in toll
hardship. and poverty. but it was
the Independent poverty of the
western wilderness. And it made
men of those who fought their way
out Of It,
When the boy was only eight
years old he had learned to swing
an axe. From that time until he
came of age he literally chopped
and hcwed his way forward and up
ward. He learned to read from
two books. the spelling book and
the Bible, Then he borrowed "Pil-
grims Progress" and "Aesop's Fab
les" and would sit up half the night
reading them by the blaze of the
logs his own axe had split.
In 1916 the Lincoln family moved
to Spencer county, Indiana and in
1880 to Decatur. Ill. On this last oc-
casion young Lincoln walked the
entire distance, nearly two hundred
miles through mud and water driv-
ing four-ox team, the journey TAX
ing fifteen days for even two yoke
Of oxen do not move quite as, fast
as steam. When they reached
their destination in what was then
an almost unsettled country the
father and son set to work to build
the log-cabin which was TO be their
home and when that was finished
the young man split the rails to
fence in their farm of ten acres.
In 1894 he resolved to begin the
study of law. A friend in Spring
field offered to lend him some
law books. Lincoln walked there
twenty-five miles from New Salem
(where he lived them and it is
said, brought back with him four
heavy volumes of Blackstone at
the end of the same day.
He was the sixteenth president
and served two terms.
He was killed In q theatre by

SAVING IN MY HOME

At nay home we are saving food
and many other things. Father said
it is better to save some food for
the soldiers or they will die of hun
ger. We are saving sugar, salt,
meat and many other articles for
the soldiers
think that everyone in town
should save some food for the sol
diers, 10 they are fighting and try
ing their best to save our lives. Ii
it was not for them we might get
killed by the German soldiers. They
could come over to the United
States and kill all the Americans
and steal all of our things. So let
us help by sending them food and
by knitting them warm sweaters.

airy IL, 1909 In 1916 he moved with
his family to Spencer County, Ind
lana, and for the next ten years he
was engaged in doing various kinds
| of hard labor, having only about a

STORIES OF LINCOLN

Lincoln disliked to punish with
death any crime. Papers were sent
to him in the case of soldier who
had deserted and again enlisted.
He returned the papers after writ
ing upon them. Let him fight in
stead of shooting him."
A story is told of William Scott
boy from Vermont, who after
marching two days and two nights
without rest volunteered to take
the place o: a sick friend who was
on guard. WEAKNESS overcame him
and he WAS found at his post sound
asleep. o. course he was sentenced
to be shot. Mr.. Lincoln heard OF
the case snd went TO the tent
where young Scott was kept under
guard.
He talked to him kindly asked
him abolt his home his school
mates ami particularly about his
mother. The lad took her picture
from his pocket and showed it to
him without speaking. Mr., Lin
coin was much affected, AS he
rose to leave he laid his hand on
his shoulder. "My boy" he said,
you are not to be shot tomorrow.
II believe you when you tell me
that you could not keep awake.
am going to- trust you and send you
back to your regiment. Now |
want to know what you are going
to pay for all this?' The lad was
so overcome with gratitude that he
could hardly speak. He finally said
he did not know, that his father
was very poor, but would do what
he could; also that there was some
pay coming to him and that he had
little money in the bank. He
thought mis- father might borrow a
little and give mortgage on his
farm, and that he also thought his
comrades would help some. He ask
ed if five or six hundred dollars
| would do. The president shook his
head and said in a very kindly
tone:
"My bill is a great deal more than
that. 1t is a very large one. Your
friends cannot pay it nor your fam
| lily, 0or your farm. There is only
one man in the world who can pay
| it and his name is William Scott. If
from this day, he does his duty so
| that when he comes to die he can
truly say: y have kept the promise
| gave the president, have done
my duty as soldier; then the debt
is paid" Young Scott went back to
his regiment and kept his promise.

wagon drew up to the door. Sitting
beside the father was a kind-faced

wagon were four well-dressed chill

things in the wagon.

Helen was a princess. her unCle
King of the Dark was hated by
most of his people. He was very
cruel to Princess Helen. He shut
her in a room with only dog for
company.
One night the king and his sol
diers were having feast. Prin,

into the fresh air followed by her
little dog. A river ran past the
castle. She ran on down the river
till she came to a tree, here she sat
down to rest.
Princess Helen" cried a little
voice.
Helen looked up and there stood
a little man.
Princess" said the little man, II

Come with me to good King John
That | will do sir" said Helen
Il love freedom"
The little man and the princess
walked till they came to an old
Woman's house. Here they were
invited to eat and rest. Hardly had
they finished eating when they
heard the kings soldiers coming
They were hunting Helen. The old
women went to the window.
Il can save you" she said
'FOpen that trap door, it leads to
a rock close to the castle.
They thanked her and went their
way.
The little man and the princess
walked through the tunnel to the
big rock.
The little man said. Eve will
sleep in this tunnel So they fell
asleep waiting for another day.
The next day they awakened
early. They could see the castle
in the distance. Noon came and
still they had far to go. They
walked till night overlook them.
The little man said, 1T seems
bitterly cold"
Yes said the princess, "it
does"
They had to sleep in the rock
that night.
The princess awakened early.
She built a fire and then ran out
and picked berries for their break

At last they came to the castle.
The king and prince gave her their

Be Patriotic and Save

We must save food for others
that are helping win the war. Don't
make candy or put icing on cakes.
Make more cornbread, eat less
meat. The food will help win the
war. Have one meatless day a
week We may not like rye bread
or barley bread. but no matter, We
must like it. We must learn not to
waste.
The more we save the more there
will be to send to France and the
rest of the allies.
We can save food by not putting
so much sugar in our coffee and
tea. This is war that children
can help win. Pearl Dixon, "A grade
