Appeals to Mankind
THE PRESENTLY you had
one copy of every book that has
been written about him, you would
have a larger library than you
ever saw in your mortal life. If
you had visited every city which
has reared his statue, you would
be more widely Travelled than any
person that you ever saw. The
journey would take you to several
European capitals. Every possible
work that he ever wrote, every
speech he ever made, every docu-
ment he ever penned has been
collected, and these have all been
printed in sets of books with a
fullneSs such as has been aC-
corded to the works of only few
children of men. You could count
on the fingers of two hands, and
perhaps of one, the men in all
secular history who so vitally ap-
peal to the imagination of man
kind today.
NANCY HANKS And so my
little boy came into all this glory in
his lifetime!
THE PRESENT-Oh, no. He
died at Sc, as unaware of how the
world would eventually regard MN
as old Christopher Columbus him.
self. A few months before his
death he expected soon to be
thrown out of the position he was
holding, and so he wrote a letter
telling how he should strive to
help his successor to carry out the
unfinished work.

'SeatleSS Pants
AnecdOte of
Lincoln

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. IL
GNSD D.-Zeke Palmer, circuit
riding lawyer of Lincoln's day,
cared nothing for clothes.
One day he appeared in court
in Dewitt county, where Lincoln
and other attorneys were gath
cred, in a pair of trousers with a
well-ventilated seat, according to a
story related by Judge William F.
Gray, an assistant attorney gen
eral of Illinois, now a Springfield
resident but formerly of Clinton.
One legal wag present observed
the condition of Zeke's pants and
wrote on scrap of paper Please
subscribe for a pair of pants for
Zeke." This was passed from at
torney to attorney, each jotting
down the amount of his contribu-
ton, until it came to Lincoln.
Lincoln read the paper, then
wrote:
"In view of the depleted con-
ditiOn of my purse, will con-
tribute nothing to the end in
view."

IL, 1914.
NANCY HANKS-I see the cal
endar says it is 1914, nearly cen
tury after my life in the world
ended. Pray tell me, spirit of the
Present, whether any one mortal
remembers that I ever lived, or
knows my place of burial.
THE PRESENT-O yes. There
is a monument over your grave at
Pigeon Creek. A man named Stude-
baker of South Bend, Ind, went
there in 1879 and spent $1,000 in
marking it.
NANCY HANKS-What do you
mean? More money than 1 ever
saw in my life spent on my grave,
more than so years after 1 had
made it! Was he a rich descen-
dant of mine?
THE PRESENT-He was no
relative of yours. AS a matter-of-
fact citizen, he thought your
grave ought to be marked. Twenty
three years later the State of Indi-
ana erected a massive monument
in your honor; 10000 school chill
dren marched in procession when
it was dedicated. The governor
the State. now one of the great
commonWealthS of the union, was
there, while a distinguished gen
eral from afar delivered the prin-
cipal grafton. This monument cost
larger fortune than you ever
knew anyone to possess. More
people than you ever saw together
at one time assembled. And on
the pedestal, in raised letters, one
may read: Nancy Hanks
Lincoln" Can there be any mis-
take about that?
What Is This Wonder?"
NANCY HANKS-What is Ghis
wonder of wonders? I realized
that my mortal remains, inclosed
in a rough pine box. were buried
under the trees at Pigeon Creek,
and that no minister of religion
was there to say even a prayer. ]
supposed that if anybody in all
this earth of yours would be surely
forgotten, and soon forgotten, it
would be Nancy Hanks, the plain
woman of the wilderness. My life
was short-of only 25 years-and
in it l saw little of the great
world, and knew little of it, and
on going out had little further to
expect from it. So, I pray, break
to me the meaning of this appall'
ing mystery
THE PRESENT-This is the
Twelfth of February!
NANCY HANKS-That was the
birthday of my little boy, slender,
awkward fellow who used every
night to climb a ladder of wooden
pins driven into a log, up into a
bed of leaves in the loft, and there
to dream. Whatever became of
that sad little boy? He was not
very we'll when I left him. All
that winter he seemed ailing. l
hated to go away. I was afraid
his father could not give the care
that the frail little fellow needed.
Did you ever hear what became Of
my little 9-year-old boy out in tho
woods of Pigeon Creek?
The World Knows of Him
THE PRESENT-Of course I
have heard what became of him.
Few have not. The people who
could answer your question num-
ber hundreds of millions today.
There is no land and no tongue
in which the information you seek
could not be supplied, and usually
