CAMBRIDGE. Mass, February Is.
A hundred years ago the Engllsh as
tronomer, Sir William Herschel, snow
ed that all the stars visible IN the
heavens formed a system the shape
of watch. or grindstone, with tne
sun near the center. When we look
out along the diameter of the grind
stone we see great mass OF stars
which appear like a continuous stream
of light to the unaided eye. This Is
the Milky Way, or Galaxy" as the
astronomer calls it: and to learn
more Of it, and hence Of the universe
Of stars, of which the sun and Its at
tendant planets form such minute
part, astronomers at the Harvard Col
lege Observatory here are now en-
gagged in making an extensive series
of photographs of these star clouds.
Can Determine Brightness.
The method used depends on a fact
discovered by DR.. Harlow Shapley. di-
rector of the observatory that GER
tain kinds of variable stars. which pc
riodically diminish in brilliance and
then grow bright again, change more
rapidly the greater their average
brightness. This permits the astron-
omer to find out how bright they ac-
tually are. BY looking at them with
his telescope he can find out how
bright they seem. and from the rela-
ton of the actual and apparent mag
nitudes he can find their distances.
These stars, called Cepheid variables.
are the ones being employed in the
Milky Way studies.
1.-The Cepheid variable stars, and to
a lesser extent the long period varia-
bles, afford valuable means of meas
uring great distances" explains DR..
Shapley. with the perfection Of
photometric methods. 1t becomes pos
sible to analyze any part Of the stellar
system in which variables occur, out
lining it's extent in various dimensions
and the frequencies Of certain types Of
stars. The problem Of the structure
of the galactic system has been of
special interest to me for several
years, and we have now perfected
plans to place on systematic basis
one part Of the analysis of the Milky
Way.

LUCTEN 8. HANKS ONCE
SLEPT WITH LINCOLN

Lucien s. Hanks, who gave me
this authorized statement of his
"reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln,
Is now eighty-seven years of age.
When / interviewed him in July,
1925, he was in good health and the
marvel was the retentiveness of his
memory on this and many other
events of Importance in which he
was either an onlooker or a partici-
pant. He was born on May 8, 1888,
at Hartford, Connecticut, and was
educated at the Mount Washington
Collegiate Institute of New York
City.
Mr.. Hanks met Mr.. Lincoln at
Janesville, Wisconsin, on his visit
there October /, 1859, following the
day after his famous agricultural
address at the Milwaukee state fair.
Hanks was young man, but he
was like watchdog in the sun, with
eyes half-shut, yet all observant.
His statement of events which trans
pired assumes historical importance,
because it brings to light some of
the human traits of Lincoln. He
was jolly in company with younger
people; he was nervous after his
speaking efforts and when he slept
he was exceedingly restless.
After the incident related below.
Mr.. Hanks, in March, 1860, came to

Growing Old Too Fast?
Many McConnelsville Folks Feel
Older and Slower Than They
Should

Are you weak, tired, all worn
out? Do you feel years older than
other folks of your age? Then look
to your kidneys. The kidneys are the
blood-filters and If they weaken, the
effect is quickly felt. You have con-
slant backache. headaches, dizziness
and urinary troubles. You feel
lame, stiff and aohy--all played out.
Don't wait! Use Doan's Pills-a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Read what this McConnelsville resi-
dent says:
George H. Best, retired farmer.
Vine street, says: "A dull, steady
ache across my back wore me out
and when I stopped, pains gripped
me across my kidneys. My kidneys
were weak and it was hard to pass
the secretions, which contained a
brick-dust sediment and burned in
passage. Doan's Pills were just the
remedy I needed. After using
Doan's, the backache left and my
kidneys acted normally"
Mr.. Best is only ole of many Nc
ConneIsville people who have CRATE
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS. the same that MIR. Best had
the remedy backed by home testi-
mony. 60 cents at all dealers. Fos-

Madison and was appointed teller of
the state bank, which was the first
state bank organized In Wisconsin
under the general banking law of
1852. In 1866 he was elected cash
ier, and subsequently vice-presi-
dent. In 1890 he was chosen pres
ident and held this position until
his retirement in 1920.
Well do | remember, when as a
youth OF twenty-one, / first saw
Abraham Lincoln--and tried to
sleep with him. / could not forget
the incident though / were to live
to be the age of Methuselah. 1t is
more than sixty five years ago and
yet the events is as indelibly i'm
printed upon my memory as it was
the day of its occurrence.
It was in the autumn of 1859 at
the home of my uncle, William M.
Tallman, at GAINESVILLE, Wisconsin.
was staying there at the time with
his son Edgar, boy a year older
than /, and visiting good deal with
his sister "Gussie," about my own
age. 1t was one year after the
Lincoln Douglas debates and Mr..
Lincoln had come to GAINESVILLE, re-
turning from the state fair at Mil
waukee, to speak on political is
sues of the day. AS ! now recall.
it was his last visit to wisconsin.
Mr. Lincoln was guest at the
! Tallman home and / remember the
impression when / first met him. He
was in the house talking with Mr..
Tallman, well-to-do and promi-
nent lawyer of southern Wisconsin.
When l entered the room and saw
him / thought to myself, What a
homely cove he is" an expression
the boys used at that time.
This is Master Hanks. and Mr..
Tallman in introducing me.
Hanks! That's name familiar
to me, my boy" responded Mr.. Lin
coin. / did not understand what he
meant by referring so intimately to
the name of Hanks" but l after
ward learned that it was also the
name of his mothers family. So
far as / know, however, the two
families were not related.
Probably it was because of his
homely countenance that I remem-
Der so vividly his appearance. On

per for this long letter.

In the morning humorous incl

hall, near the stairway leading to
the second floor, was a closet SUD-
piled with slippers. Everyone was
expected to exchange his shoes for
slippers before going to bed. BY
oversight Mr.. Lincoln had not been
informed of this custom and wore
his boots to his room and then set
them outside the door. Next morn
ing he was late in coming down. 1t
was nearing train time Edgar was
finally told to call him, but, as he
started, Lincoln entered the sitting
room. / can see him now. He was
minus boots-his blue yarn stock
ings with white tops being plainly
in evidence. Turning to Mrs. Tall
man, he smilingly declared
Il can't accuse you, but l have no
boots"
Aunt Emeline was bit mortified.
Finding the boots at his door, the
janitor had taken them and cleaned
them, but returned them to the
downstairs closet. Lincoln sat down
in the sitting room and pulled them
on before the entire family.

the autumn of 1853 to visit with
Edgar Tallman and then on to nv
old home at Hartford, Connecticut.
While in Washington I met Presi-
dent Lincoln on the street. / knew
him the moment saw him; he was
such a homely looking fellow I
could not forget him. President
Lincoln apparently recognized me as
someone he had seen before and
stopped.

tried to sleep with you" | said
coming up and shaking his hand.
Lincoln laughed, declared that he
remembered the incident, and in
vited me to visit him. But | was in
such hurry to get back to my old
home that | did not seize this op-
portunity.

double soles, and his feet were as
big as an elephants. He wore a
black slouch hat; do not know what
he carried in the old-fashioned car

thing was nightgown, which he
wore that night when tried to
sleep with him. He was scrupulous-
ly clean in his personal habits and

that evening which l recall. Some

thought the remark had passed un-

that evening, he touched Aunt EN-
cline on the shoulder and said:
''The boy and l will sleep together" :"
He had evidently overheard what
! Aunt Emeline had said to me ear
lier in the evening.
Before the speech Mr.. Lincoln
visited with the entire family. Dur
ing the early evening "Gussie" and
her mother went into the parlor and
'Gussie" sat down on the sofa.
Soon Mr.. Lincoln went into the par
lor and l followed, because l wanted
to be near the girl, she was so beau
tiful, and l was in love with my
cousin. Mr.. Lincoln bowed to the
mother and then sat down on the
sofa beside her.
Now Miss Tallman, l want you
to tell me about your beaux," he
said.
But haven't any," she quickly
responded.
Are you sure you are telling me
the truth?' asked Mr.. Lincoln turn
ing toward me with questioning
eyes. What moment that was to

In those days the Tallman home
was one of the finest residences in
southern Wisconsin. 1t had been
erected early in the fifties from
pressed brick brought from Mil

at the entrance were the sitting and
dining rooms and across the hall
was drawing-room, used only on
occasions.
