TOLD GOOD JOKE ON HIMSELF
Lincoln Appreciated Humor In Remark
Made by Exceedingly Frank,
outspoken Lady.

When Mr.. Lincoln was presented
by the toastmaster Of banquet of
Illinois editors in 1856, he began with
an apology for his presence. speaking
Of himself as an interlOper. and then
he said he was reminded of an incl
dent. He did%'not say that he was
giving a personal experience of his
own, but the editors surmised as much
and were greatly amused.
Mr.. Lincoln said that the man Of
whom he was speaking possessed feat
ures which the ladies' could not call
handsome. This man, while riding
through the woods. met lady on
horseback. He turned out Of the path
and waited for her to pass. She
stopped and looked at the man few
moments. Then she said:
swell for land sake, you are the
homeliest man I ever saw"
"Yes, madame" the man replied {;
"but can't help it."
"No, suppose not" the lady said :
"but you might stay at home."

creased Acknowledgment

Il manship.

n N the mere recital Of the facts
of Lincoln's life there is little to
account for his being the only
American except Washington
whose birthday has been made ma
tional holiday. His origin was Eng
lish, as he descended from English
Quakers who settled In Pennsylvania.
His own branch Of the family went to
Virginia, and thence to Kentucky, In
diana and Illinois. His birthplace,
. though rude, was not unlike those
about him, the one roomed cabin Of
the Western pioneer, situated In a
wild region and with only the rudest
necessities. fP
There was little in his boyhood to
mark 1t out from his fellows save in
the thorough use he made of his scanty
opportunities for improvement. He
possessed only a handful Of books
the Bible. "Aesop's Fables" Pilgrims
Progress" Robinson Crusoe." the lives
of Washington and Henry Clay-but
of these, by continual study. he made
himself complete master. Meanwhile
the difficulties of his daily life made
him strong and vigorous, stimulating
wholesome growth Of body and mind.
The importance of this foundation Of
health can hardly be overestimated.
in view Of the strain he was to bear
in later life. That he retained this
early vigor Is evident from anecdotes
of his delight in feats of strength even
after he attained the presidency. BY
:neans of farm work that in those
days included every form of bodily
exercise, by short experience as a
country storekeeper. by an almost RI
diculous military training, Lincoln
saw In essence something of every
form of life and saw each form In its
barest simplicity. From these crudest
facts he drew the homely directness
Of thinking, readiness in analysis, a
simplicity of view and keenness of
humor that tinctured his whole mind.
His Early Studies.
There is nothing that gives us bet
ter insight into the origin of his great
ness than the story he tells Of his
carly methods Of study. Even as q
boy, he says. he was accustomed to
hear discussed public questions Of
every sort. The language and rhetoric
of his elders was far beyond his COM
prehension. but with the true pioneer
spirit the boy Lincoln, educated to
overcome difficulties by his daily life.
not tired by multiplicity Of subjects,
was never willing to abandon a sub
ject without understanding II. He
would, after hearing knotty debate,
go over the whole controversy by HIM
self until he was satisfied that he had
extracted from 1t every root and gist
Of the matter. This done. Lincoln
says, he strove to put into the simplest
language what he had learned. in or
der that It might be within the under
standing of amy hearer.
Thus 1t was that he learned to an
aiyze and solve political questions. and,

Forty Per Cent Cut
 in Rice Price

Dietitians tell US that rice is a most wholesome food and an econ omical food. The fact that the price of rice will be much lower another year ought t. add to its use. Rice growers met in Beau mont, Texas, recently, and de- cided 10 market their rice at $8 per barrel, instead of $13, the present price. The reason for the reduction is u at. the rice crops of last gear and this year have been unusually large. Lots of rice is said to be stored in warehouses. The quality of this years rice in the Texas rice growing section is exceptionally fine.
