to show you my goots and introduce
you to my brudder."
In the mems department after much
thoughtful discussion they decided up

the only goods which, in view Of the
amount Of cloth required, came with

against it.
"You are like Eli already" he said.

"What can l do about it?" Abe
asked.
"I've been hopin' an wishin' some
kind Of a decent handle could be put
on to his name," said Mrs. Lukins,
with her eye upon knot hole in the
counter. Something with good
sound to it. You said that anything
you could do for the New Salem folks
you was goin' to do an, thought may
be you could fix it."
Abe smiled and asked: do you
want a title?"

"I'll see what can be done, but II
he gets that title he'll have to live up
to it,,
"I'll make him walk a chalk line
you see,'s the good woman promised as
she left the store.
That evening Abe wrote a playful
commission as colonel for Peter Lu-
kins, which was signed in due time
by all his friends and neighbors and
presented to Lukins by committee
Of which Abe was chairman.
Coleman Smoot-a man of some
means who had a farm on the road
to Springfeld-was in the village that
evening. Abe showed him the eom-
mission and asked him to sign 1t.
"I'll sign on one condition." said
SmoOt.
"What is that?" Abe asked.
"That you'll give me commission.
I want to be your friend"
''You are that now, aren't your"
Abe asked.
Eyes, but haven't earned my COM
mission. You haven't given me a
chance yet. What can I do to help
you along?"
Abe was much impressed by these
kindly words.
"My friends do not often ask what
they can do for me-" he said. II sup
pose they haven't thought Of it. I'll
think 1t over and let you know"
Three days later he walked out to
Coleman Shoots after supper. AS
they sat together by the Preside Abe
said:
"1've been thinking Of your friendly
question. It's dangerous to talk that
way to man like me. The fact is.
I need two hundred dollars to pay
pressing debts and give me something
in my pocket when go to vandalia.

man who tries as hard as you do to
get along deserves to be helped. be-

and get the money and bring it to you
within. week or So"
Abe Lincoln had many friends who
would have done the like for him If
they could, and he knew 1t.
Every one has faith in you,"' said
Smoot. 1--WE expect much Of you and
we ought to be willing to do what
we can to help"
your faith will be my strength, II
l have any," said Abe.
On his way home that night he
thought Of what Jack Kelso had said
Of democracy and friendship.
On the twenty-second of November
letter came to Ann from BIN Kelso,
which announced that she was going
to New Orleans for the winter with
her husband. Six days later Abe took
the stage for the capital, at Rutledge's
door, where all the inhabitants of the
village had assembled to bid him good

u Although the time for obtaining
1921 licenses, as regards to cars
running on the public highways,
was extended by the department to
January 10, thousands of car own
ers have not yet taken out licenses,
according to officials of the depart
ment. This is due, they say, to the
fact that many persons, especially
In he billy portions of the State,
store their cars for the winter and
do not take out licenses until the
roads get good in the spring and
summer. The cars are not run,
consequently no license is needed.
