No scientist, living or dead, can explain these mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible life germ in each seed is hidden the deep secret that nobody understands. Everything growing out of tho ground seems for some use in establishing natural conditions. Dr. Tierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long since found out what is naturally best for womens diseases.

There were reasons for Lincolns belief that the states he had set down as "Copperhead" would go against him. The drafts of men had resisted in more or less energetic form in ninny of these commonwealths, notably New York and Illinois, and the targe number of sympathizers there might eusily lead to his conclusion. But what be had not taken Into the fullest account was that the majority of men In the North were lojal to the Union, regardless of politics or their natural sympathies, and they stood by Lincoln to 212 j 111 Look out for Span-is- h Influenza. e .

He admitted that his education was defective," and thafi was a weak word for It. Many men with a great deal more have been failures. And Lincoln had every opportunity of becoming a failure, but he realized his educational weaknesses und strove to remove them. That he did remove tlit in seems to be testified to by many writers.

Lincolns mother, who was a bright, delicate woman, taught her son as much as she could. A visiting schoolmaster gave him some lessons in the ordinary "Three Rs." The country was so sparsely settled and so distant from civilization that at the little church the services that were held were conducted by itinerant clergymen. The boy Lincoln grew up here In ft small log without windows, and whose wide cabin that chimney was built on the outside of the cabin.

Kentucky then (180b) had been a state for seventeen jears, but it was a wild wilderness of a land. There were few hooks, no schools in the modern sense, and little hope for anything but hard work.

And that comment by one of the greatest universities in the world Is on the work of a man who never had a years schooling In his life. It Is small wonder that Lincolns life is upheld to the poor boy as a shining example of what determination to learn and succeed will do. Lincolns grandfather, like many others, followed the magnetic Daniel Boone Into the wilderness of Kentucky. The Lincolns at that time were not poor folks, ns many have believed, for the grandfather, whose name also was Abraham, sold his property for $17,000 before he set out for the unclaimed lands where some say the still existed.

Whether Lincoln ever would have been heard of had not the Black Ilawk war occurred about a year after he went to work at New Salem, Sangamon county, remains a question. It need not bother any one, however, because the war did occur and Lincoln did go Into it as a captain of volunteers. This might be said to have been the turning point in his career. Up to this time he had not found himself. He was studying, but drifting. He does not appear to have had any aim in life beyond the ambition to educate himself and to succeed. - Lincoln afterward said that his experience In the Black Hawk war gave him greater pleasure than anything that had occurred to him up to tl at time. lie had no opportunity to distinguish himself in that little conflict, but he returned to New Salem a man of more public Importance than when he left It. lie started a store, but It failed, and the debts fell upon him. He was appointed postmaster, the first federal office he ever held, lie ran for the legislature, but was defeated. But the next election he ran again, and was elected and later returned for another term. Law and Politics, While he was keeping a general store he began the study of law. lie once said that one of his first books was a copy of the laws of Indiana, and that was about all the law he knew up to that time. It was while serving as a legislator In Illinois that Lincoln first turned his attention to the blot of slavery, which he began to oppose with all his might and influence. After he decided to retire from the legislature he started to practice law, haying been licensed to practice In 1837. He removed to Springfield, where the remainder of his days, until he went to Washington as president, were mainly spent In 1840 he was elected to a seat In congress, but he declined and settled down to . the practice of his profession in Springfield. Lincoln spent his spare time In the store of his friend, Joshua Speed, which was the rendezvous of many prominent men in that section. He was famed for his stories and for his keenness in debate. It was in this little general store that Lincoln first met Douglas in debate. Douglas was regarded far and wide as a little giant in debate, and he remarked that the store was no place tot him to debate any question with Lincoln. By this time Lincoln had become something of a politician. Ills party was the Whig. He took ft lively interest in political affairs, and finally took part on the Whig side In a joint debase with the Democrats. Lincoln was the last speaker Id that debate, but his words took the deepest hold of the spectators and added greatly to his reputation. It was In Springfield that Lincoln married Mary Todd, who, it is interesting to note, was also sought in marriage by Douglas, who thus became Lincolns opponent In love as well as in politics, r rf. t, moments.

He often would sit up to the small hours of the night reading law and studying a case, while his opponents probably would be soundly sleeping. When he went into court he was master of his case, and that goes a long way toward winning a verdict The practice of law was beginning to take a firm hold on Lincoln to the exclusion of politics when theIlssourtOompromisewas enacted. That roused him, and from that time onward he was strongly for the abolition of slavery, His position was known throughout the country, for he had stumped the East for Taylor years before, and the stories of his quiet hnmor and fund of anecdote had penetrated the East, consequently, when It was evident to the country that Jt stotrt on the eve ofa. conflict between slavery and abolition.
