Does "A. L." Mean abraham Lincoln?

Lincoln. 1t is on exhibition here as
the latest acquisition to the collection
of Lincoln relics.
Showing a visitor over the site OF
New Salem, which is being restored
for state park, Mr. Bradley noticed a
peculiar piece of iron protruding from
the ground. When he kicked il loose
il proved To be tool used for grub
bling. Without giving il much exam
ination ne tossed it into his automo-
bile and took il nome. Later in look
ing at the instrument he discovered
the initials.
The place where the mattOck was
found is only Il few yards from the
spot where the Offut store once stood
Lincoln clerked there in 1881. Buried
Tor close 10 90 years. the tool was
turned up by recent excavations, it is
believed
The grub hook" is made of good
steel and rings true as a bell when
struck with another piece of metal. The
initials are believed TO be the handi-
work of a village blacksmith whose
shop was one of the favorite gather
ing places of the early inhabitants of
New Salem.

JEWELS THE MODE
Vogue for Ornaments Results in
Use of Many Pieces.
Marked Demand for Novelty Decora-
tons TO Enhance the Beauty Of
American Women.

One might suppose that after the
much jewelry would be a reaction.
But this reaction las not come. The
vogue for great deal Of jewelry does
not fit in with the present-day stand
ards of dress, which are of the sim
plest. 1t would appear that the love
OF barbaric ornamentatiOn of the cave
woman must find expression today as
1t did long ago. Jewelry, both with
the Parisienne and the American wom-
an, becomes more and more elaborate
and an increasing number of pieces
are worn at one time.
The demand for novelties of all sorts
as well as for jewelry still is great. 1t
seems that no piece of jewelry can be
too fantastic to find favor. The snake
design still continues very fashionable.
The newest snake bracelets are made
of diamonds and cOlOred enamel. 1t is
considered smart to wear set of
snake ornaments consisting of a brace
let and a belt made Of gold and en-
amel, or the belt may be made en-
tirely of gold
Beautiful necklaces also are shown
in this same form composed entirely
of diamonds with a huge diamond
pendant suspended from the snakes
mouth. The necklaces and bracelets
are very flexible.
The ideas exploited in purses are
legion, not only in regard to the shape,
the size and the material but the way
in which different feathers and silks
are put together. Flat envelopes are
made almost like small writing cases.
These may be of the softest of ,leath-
erS completely covered with elaborate
