Woodsplitting Wedge Used
By Lincoln on Exhibit Here

The National Museum at Tenth
and B streets northwest has just
received and placed on exhibition in
its historical collections an iron
wedge used for splitting wood and
rails, believed to have belonged to
Abraham Lincoln. This interesting
personal relic of Lincoln was pre-
sented to the Smithsonian Institu-
tion by Henry W. Allen. of Califor-
mia, through Representative John A
Elston, of California, a regent of the
institution.
On the side of the wedge are the
initials "A. l." The wedge was
found in 1885 during some repairs
being made on a brick house near
New Salem, Menard County, Ill,
formerly owned and occupied by
Mentor Graham, who was Lincoin's
instructor in surveying. In pre-
sentiRg the relic to the Smithsonian,
Allen includes with it a number of
papers of Authorization, among
them affldavits by Joseph Arnold
and John Arnold. verifying the find
ing of the wedge in the Graham
house, and afidavits by Lizzie Bell
and John Q. Spears as to be posi-
tive identification of the object as
the one known by them to have
belonged to Lincoln
Some interesting facts regard
ing the initials cut in the surfEce
of the wedge are given in the afi-
davit of Spears, dated 1887.
He says: 'I distinctly recolIect an
occasion when was in the black
smith shop of one Joshua Miller,
Of the village of New Salem afore-
said, when Mr.. Lincoln same into
said blacksmith shop and, after
some conversation, asked Miller to
cut his Oincoln's) initials in an iron
wedge which he (Lincoln) then neId
in his hand; to which Miller replied
that he could not do it, as he was
no scholar.
"Thereupon Mr.. Lincoln said to
said Miller: Let me have your ham,
mer and cold-chisel, and I will cut
them myself
"Thereupon the aforesaid Miller
gave to Mr.. Lincoln the cold-c lisel
and hammer, and I stood by and
saw Mr.. Lincoln, with said hammer
and cold-chisel, cut the letters
A. L. upon said iron wedge. These
facts are vividly Impress
ed upon my memory"

SOMETIMES LIFE IS LONG
As she left the Parkers' house and
turned up the avenue in the cold
winter dusk, Alison recalled vividly
the conflicting emotions which had
possessed her on two other occasions
when she had started home after
tea with Gwen.
There was the afternoon when
Gwen had warned her of Mrs. Brad
ley's possible Interference and she
had been angry and little fright
ened. 1t was then she had come upon
Larry and Diane Evans-poor Diane
Of the shattered romance-planning
a clandestine ride.
There was also the evening of the
tea for Ovens guest when she,
Alison, had gone away weary and
bored with Warren Bradley and rum
ming into her in-laws, had had that
disastrous dinner with them.
And finally there was the after
noon, rose-colored with the relief of
knowing that it was Bradley and
not Larry who had eloped with
Diane Evans.
Just how rose-colored and how
welcome the relief, Alison was only
beginning to realize.
Larry had been thoughtful and
kind in the weeks that had passed
since Atherton's death. There was
a quiet strength and dependence
about him which tempted her weari.

upon the truce which the tragedy

BRINGS JOY HERE

Showing Big Drop.

:, Although the latest decline in
prices includes meats and other ar
ticles Of food, which are classed as

duction has been recorded in a

ing reductions ranging from to

showing the biggest drop from $3.50

Even the war tax on candies is
1ast passing into the discard, so far
es the purchaser is concerned. Many
of the dealers in readjusting their
prices have found that the tax which
they are compelled to collect on
candies is unpopular and as a result
they have decided to pay the tax out
OF the profits, instead of collecting
II from the purchaser.
The most sweeping slash in the
candy market was announced by
the Lggett stores, where the fol-
lowing changes have become ef-
