It was June 10, 1S0C. Two days later, at Richard Berry's place, Beechland, a man twenty-eight years old and a woman twenty-three years old came before Rev. Jesse Head, who later gave the county clerk the names of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, as naving been "joined together in the holy estate of matrimony matri-mony agreeable to the rules of the Methodist Episcopal church." . . . Carried Off His Bride. The new husband put his June bride on his horse and they rode away on the red clay road along the timber trails to Ellzabethtown. Their new home was in a cabin close to the courthouse. court-house. Tom worked at the carpenter's trade, made cabinets, door frames, window win-dow sash and coffins. A daughter wa? born and they named her Sarah. . . . The same year saw the Lincoln moved to a place on the Big South fork of Nolin's creek, about two and a half miles from Hndenville. They were trying to farm a little piece of ground and make a home. The house they lived in was a cabin of logs cut from the timber near by. One morning in February of thh year, 18(, Tom Lincoln came out of ins cabin to the road, stopped a neigh l,r and asked him to tell "the granny woman," Aunt Peggy Walters, that Nancy would need help soon. Lincoln's Birth. . On the morning of February 12, a Sunday, the granny woman was there a, the cabin. And she and Tom Lin c!n and the moaning Nancy Hanks Uk-o.ned into a world of battle anl bh.od. of whispering dreams and wist ful dust, a new child, a boy. A little later fiat morning Tom Lin .lu threw some extra w.mnI on the tire, and an estra bearskin oyer the mother, went out of the cabin, am. v.alked two miles up the road to where the Sparrows, Torn and Betsy, i i ivnnis Hanks, the nine year-old boy adopted by the Sparrow,-, met Ton. a. the dor. . In his slow way of talking-he was a slow and quiet man-Tom Lincoln told them, -Nancy s got a boy baby. nalf-sheePish look was in h eyes as tliunsn maybe u'or babies Wer " wanted in Kentucky Just then. The boy. Dennis Hanks, took to his J, down the road to the - Lincoln cabin. There he saw Nancy Hanks on , bed of poles cleated to a cc ner of n ft n . ' ' . M 1KC EARTH, the cabin, under a iarge, warm bearskin. bear-skin. She turned her dark head from looking at the baby to look at Dennis' and threw him a tired, white smile from her mouth and gray eyes. He stood by the bed, has eyes wide open, watching the even, quiet breaths, of this fresh, soft red baby. "What you goin' to najne bim, Nancy?" the boy asked. "Abraham," was the answer, "after his grandfather." Little Dennis Prediction. Little Dennis rolled up in a bearskin and slept by the fireplace that night. He listened for the crying of the newborn new-born child once In the night and the feet of the father moving on the dirt floor to help the mother and the little one. In the morning he took a long look at the baby and said to himself. "Its skin looks just like red cherry pulp squeezed dry, In wrinkles." And Dennis swung the baby back and forth, keeping up a chatter about how tickled he was to have a new cousin to play with. The baby screwed up the muscles of Its face and began crying with no let up. Dennis turned to Betsy Sparrow, handed her the baby and said to her. "Aunt, take -him! He'll never come to much."

Philology Tells Story 'of Long-Vanished Race Somewhere, and so long ago that it Is equally Impossible to say when, there dwelt In Europe or Asia a moat remarkable tribe of mankind, says a writer in the Kansas City Times. These people are not mentioned in any ancient history and no legend gives a hint of their existence. Not even an authentic grave of one of Its members can be traced. let this ante-legendary race has been raised from the dark past and displayed In its ancient shape until modern historians know as much ot it as of many peoples yet living. The words spoken by that mysterious race, the gods it worshiped, the laws it made, the character of its industries and possessions, Its family and political politi-cal relations, even the conditions of its Intellectual development and its racial characteristics, are all well known. These people wire the fathers of the so-called Aryans, cho In growing numbers swelled beyond the boundaries bounda-ries of their ancestral home and went forth to conquer and possess the earth. Knowledge of this ancient race has been brought about solely by workers in comparative phllorogy the study of words. Word by word the language of the original Aryans has been exhumed from the descend-ent descend-ent modern languages until, pieced together, to-gether, they tell the story of a vanished van-ished peop?. Famous for Ability to Design Furniture .. Important as an Influence on furniture furni-ture forms of Eighteenth century America was the work of the four Adam brothers of England, .chiefly the work of Robert Adam, whose influence influ-ence on the furniture of England from 1700 to 1780 was marked. He was a man -of means, a traveler, but he was not a cabinet maker. He never made a piece of furniture in his life, though It Is on his furniture that his fame rests. When he designed a house be also designed the furniture to go ill It, even going so far as to Mark chalk spots on the floors to show where each piece of furniture was to stand. His designs were painstaking, pains-taking, exquisite in the spirit of antiquity, an-tiquity, says Sarah Lockwood, author of "Antiques." ' . He drew his lpsplratlon directly from ancient Pompeii, uninfluenced by his rrip through France. His furniture furni-ture legs were straight, his lines were straight, bis backs round or oval. His decoration was purely classic; he often employed the well known classic urn. Adam may have snubbed Chippendale, Chip-pendale, for not one trace of Adam's influence Is found In the other's work. Exchange. Islanders Evade Tar Eddy island, off the coast of Gal way, Ireland, Is so close to shore that its few Inhabitants can observe boats leaving the maluland and prepare an appropriate reception for visitors. Nobody No-body on the island has paid anything toward the maintenance of the Gal-way Gal-way county council for years, and the last time bailiffs landed the Inhabitants Inhab-itants repulsed them. Little possibility possibil-ity exists of seizing the cattle on the island as they are driven to almost Inaccessible In-accessible hiding places when bailiffs appear. The islanders owe fh county about $100.000. New York Times.

Necessary to Watch Their Peculiar Pets "Don't leave any snakes about to-bight!" to-bight!" was the closing remark of Mr. 8. G. Finch, president of the Naturalists' Nat-uralists' club, Chelsea, England, at a recent meeting of the members. That may sound a curious exhorts tion, yet on this occasion It was a necessary one. The members of this club are in the babit of taking their pets which cover a wide range to meetings held in the parlor of the Six Bells, Chelsea, and on a previous occa alon some one bad inadvertently left behind a grass snake. Later the landlady land-lady had discovered the reptile and was terrified. Every member of the dub has a particular Interest. One breeds fish In an aquarium,' another studies ant?, yet another is interested in butterflies, while the president is an authority on slugs, bis specimens of which get to know him so well that they feed out of his band.
