These old reliable lines. have been

CHAPTER \ vi.

WNoeotn Youno Me. Lincoln ootrayo
ignorance ~ TIVE Highly Important
ovbjeets.
There were two subjects Of which
Mr.. Lincoln had little understanding.
They were women and finance. Until
they had rightly appraised the value
Of his friendship, women had been
wont to regard him with RANT curl
osity. He had been aware Of this, and
fer years had avoided women, save
those Of old acquaintance. When he
lived at the tavern in the village, often
he had gone without meal rather
than expose himself to the eyes of
strange women. The reason for this
was we'll understood by those who knew
him. The young man was an exceed
ingly sensitive human being. No
doubt he had suffered moro than any
one knew from ill-concealed ridicule,
but he had been able to bear 1t with
eompOsure in his callov youth. Later
nothing reused his anger like an at.
tempt to ridicule him.
Two women he had regarded with
great tenderness-his foster mother.
the second wife Of Thomas Lincoln
and Ann Rutledge. Others had been
to him, mostly. delightful but inscru-
table beings. The company Of women
and Of dollars had been equally unfa-
miliar to him. He had said more than
once in his young manhood that he felt
embarrassed In the presence of either.
and knew not quite how to behave
himself-an exaggeration in which
there was no small amount Of truth.
In 1885 the middle frontier had en-
tered upon a singular phase of its de-
velOpment. Emigrants from the East
and South and from overseas had been
pouring into it. The summer before
the lake and river stea mers had been
crowded with them, and their wagons
had come in long professions out of
the East. Chicago had begun its phe-
nOmenal growth. A frenzied specula-
ton in town lots had been under way
in that community sin ce the autumn
of 'S6. 1t was spreading through the
state. Imaginary cities were laid out
on the lonely prairies and all the cor
ner lots sold to eager buyers and paid
for with promises. Millions of conver-
sational, promissory dollars, based
upon the gold at the foot Of the rain
bow, were changing hands day by day.
The legislature, with an empty treas
ury behind 1t, voted twelve millions for
river improvements and imaginary
railroads and canals, for which neither
surveys nor estimates had been made,
to serve the dream-built cities Of the
speculator. If Mr.. Lincoln had had
more experience in the getting and use
Of dollars and more acquaintance with
the shrinking timidity of large sums,
he would have tried to dissipate these
illusions Of grandeur. But he went
with the crowd, every member Of
which had like inex xperience.
In the midst Of the session Samson
Traylor arrived In VRndalia on his
visit to Mr.. Lincoln.
II have sold my farm" said Samson
to his old friend the evening Of his ar.
rival.

CHAPTER XVI,
Wherein Young Mr.. Lincoln Safely
Passes Two Great Danger Points
and Turns Into the Highway Of His
Manhood.
SYNOPSIS.

Manhood.
For days thereafter the people of
New Salem were sorely troubled. Abe
Lincoln, the ready helper in time of
need, the wise counselor, the friend of
all-"old and young, dogs and horses"
as Samson was wont to say-the pride
and hope Of the little cabin village,
was breaking down under his grief.
He seemed to care no more for work
or study or friendship. He wandered
out in the woods and upon the prairies
alone. Many feared that he would
lose his reason.
There was a wise and merry-hearted
man who lived a mile or so from the
village. His name was Bowlin Green.
Those days when one of middle age
had established himself In the affec-
tiOns Of community, Its members had
way of adopting him. So Mr.. Green
had been adopted into many families
from Beardstown to Springfield. He
was everybody's "Tncle Bowlin." He
had a most unusual circumference and
the strength to carry it. His ruddy
cheeks and curling locks and kindly
dark eyes and large head were details
Of Importance. Under all were q heart
with the love of men, mind Of un-
usual understanding and hand
skilled in all the arts of the Kentucky
pioneer. He could grill venison
steak and roast a grouse and broil a
chicken In a way which had filled the
countryside with fond recOllections OF
his hospitality; he could kindle fire
with q bow and string, pine stick
and some shavings; he could make
anything from q splint broom to Q
rocking horse with his jack-knife. Abt
Lincoln was one Of the many men WHIT
knew and loved him.
On q warm, bright afternoon earl,

around the pasture to put his fenco b

that every fellow with foul mouth
hates himself for 1t and envies the
man who isn't like him. They begin
to see his skill as politician, which
has shown itself in the passage Of a
bill removing the capital to Spring
field. Abe Lincoln was the man who
put 1t through. But he has not yet un-
covered his best talents. Mark my

man.

OUR HEAVY TAXES

With an increased valuation Of about
20 nor cent. the people Of Wheeling
this year face the rather unpleasant
prospect Of a slight Increase in the total
tax levy. The city was compelled to
levy at the rate OF about IS cents. the
county so cents The board OF educa-
ton. apparently cannot get along with
less than 50 cents. and the State levy
will b. from 20 to IS cents. a total OF
S21o to 32l5. as against SILL last year.
For this. however. the citizens OF
wheeling will have some direct benefits.
Tho important extension OF Chapline
street will be made. This il an i'm
provement. and an asset 10 the city. Ad-
dit,onal thereto. We are having more
street work than ever before. and we
are beginning to provide for filtration.
Also In the state levy. provision Is made
for the interes, on the bonds issued as
a part Of the Good Roads program. and
for the annual payments on the Virginia
Debt.
While taxes are undeniably heavy, We
will be getting something more than
nero maintenance for the taxes paid
this year. wheeling ought long ago TO
have undertaken great many public
improvements which were neglected. II
Is now beginning these Improvements
and naturally the bill for part OF them
must be paid Texas IN this city have
