That county was eubsequentlr divided and redlvlded and aubdlvlded. Before Colonel Lee died, hit estate, which ha called Paradise, waa lo-cated In Oloucester county, on the borders of New Kent, later the home of Martha Cuttle Washing-ton. Gloucester was then the richest und most pop-ulous county In Virginia and was In tha peninsula formed by the York river on the aouth and the Rappahannorlc on tha north. His neighbors may be presumed to have varied In quality, but if Vir-ginia bad an aristocracy In that day, Gloucester county waa tha center of It, and aome of his friends were among tha most noted men In Vir-ginia. Ws are already aware that Thomas Hanka waa at least twenty-on- e years a resident of this Glou-cester region. And now wa discover that, aa his holdings widened and bla boundarlea followed the linea of other planters, two of bla patenta grant him land adjoining tha estate of Colonel Lee I This waa none other than Colonel Richard Lee, progen-itor of tha tea family, and ancestor of Robert B. Lee! That belligerent old royalist, foremost la Virginia In aupport of Charlea L and one of tha first to hall Charlea II aa tha lawful aoverelgn of England, lived for many yeara a near neighbor of Thomas Hankal Tha loyalist ancestor of Rob-ert E. Lee and the rebel ancestor of Abraham Lin-coln were neighbors in Gloucester county I Furthermore,' when Bacon's rebellion waa over, and the Hanks family moved across the Rappa-hannock, ao did the Leea. And as Thomaa Hanks had long lived neighbor to Colonel Richard Lee on the aouth shore of the Rappahannock, their children la successive genera-tions lived neighbors on the north shore of the same stream. The Leea established their abiding place at a plantation which they named Stratford, and tbe Hankaea, intermarrying with tha Wood-bridg- e family, whose plantation occupied the alte of an old Indian village not far away, lived for a hundred years with Leea on three sidea of them. It was only natural, therefore, that sometime there would be Intermarriage of the two fam-ilies. And that Is exactly what took place. The original Richard Lee had seven sons, and one of these had a son named William who married a Dorothy Taylor, the daughter of an Elizabeth Taylor who lived to a great age. William and Dorothy In tbelr turn had a son whom they named William, and Elizabeth Taylor made this son, who would be her grandson, the executor of her will, dated 1747. The executor took fair time, and at his death In 1764 he bad not completed the settle-ment of his grandmother's estate. When his own affairs were adjusted balances were found to be due to four of bis children under tbe will of Elizabeth Taylor. But two of these children by that time had passed away, and their balances were awarded to ielr surviving husbands, of whom onr was Thomas Hanks and the other Joseph Hanks. Tbe Inheritances amounted In the one case to 9, and In the other to 2. The records contain the Taylor will and the settlement of the estate of this William Lee, and from these records Doctor Barton got his start In this quest Thomas Hanks is shown to have married Betsey Lee, and Joseph Hanks be-came the husband of Ann Lee. Joseph and Ann had a daughter Lucy, who became the mother of Nancy Hanks, the mother of Abraham Lincoln. Thus Bobert E. Lee, born In Virginia In 1870, Is shown to have descended from one of the seven sons of Col. Richard Lee of 1642; there were four Intervening generations, "rather wide apart, says Doctor Barton, because in several in-stances the descent was through younger sons. Abraham Lincoln, born In Kentucky In 1809, is traced back to the same Col. Richard Lee through another of bis seven sus, but this time there were six Intervening generations.

One of them is Massachusetts, another Is New Jersey, anothor Pennsylvania, another West Virginia and the last-- sod herein Ilea another example of the eternal fitness of things Is that "Mother of Presidents," tbe commonwealth of Virginia. The scholar wbo has brought to light the facts which Justify tbe above statements Is William E. Barton, wbo tn his book "The Lineage of Lincoln," published by tbe Bobbs-Merrl- ll company, apparently baa revealed all that Is ever likely to be known about the fore-bears of Abraham Lincoln. In bis foreword Barton states that "This quest bat carried me three times across the ocean and has aent me to Innumerable courthouses In Vir-ginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Illi-nois.' In the latter places he was working In virgin historical soil and amid the dusty crumbling old documents which be unearthed, be estab-lished for the first time the complete record, so far as It seems likely ever to be complete, of Lincoln's maternal ancestors, tbe I'ankses. Tbe Story of tbe Great Emancipator's paternal an-cestors, the LIncolns, bas been told before, but Barton's Investigations have added to, and tn aome cases, corrected some minor errors made by previous workers tn that field. It la In tracing the Hanks ancestral lines, how-ever, that Doctor Bsrton's work has been so out-standing, "for two hundred years, from their first landing in Virginia, no member of the Hanks family. In the ancestral line of Abraham Lincoln, made one known scratch of the pen to aid the genealogist, and the public records are almost Incredibly scarce," says Doctor Barton. "Not only so, but wars from Bacon's rebellion to the Civil war have wiped out completely the records of some counties where our need was greatest I present this work, therefore, not with apologies for the places where the most diligent search has been able to disclose no documents, but with very great satisfaction that In spite of these difficu-lties, I am presenting President Lincoln's an-cestry on both the paternal and JQ.tternal sides. In lines which I am confident cannot be broken." But this scarcity of official documents hss not been the only difficulty in tracing cne line of Lin-coln's ancestry. TLi other revealed In Doctor Barton's reply to tbe suggestion made by another Lincoln biographer. Miss Ida Tarbell. who, In commenting npon the new facts revealed In pre-vlo- Barton work n Lincoln said "What now jiiV Is needed Is that a skilled genealogist shall take this material,' and go over the whole problem, de-ciphering the Inscriptions on old tombstones, com-paring records In oi l family Bibles, and give us a complete Hanks genealogy." To that Barton replies: "That genealogist Is In heaven If he Is anywhere. But when he comes and sets about his task, what will he do when he bas wandered through one hundred and fifty years of Hanks burying grounds snd has not found one single stone with tbe Hanks name upon It? Tbe Hankses, and their neighbors for the most part, both In Virginia and Kentucky, were content with a simple rough atone at the head of tbe grave, and sometimes another at the foot And wbat shall the genealogist do when be sets out to collect family Bibles, and searches for two hun-dred years, and cannot find that any Virginia or Kentucky Hat-k- s owned one? "Even this Is not a full statement of the diff-iculties. The Hanks family tradltl n would have been at best an uncertain source of knowledge, but It was .hopelessly corrupted by those authors who, more than, a qua-t-er century ago. Infused Into It a story so pleasant that the Hankses wbo knew of It gladly accepted It and did their best to Incorporate It Into their own. The palmiest of the Hanks story as now told is a curious mud-dle, but there are Hankses and others who would gladly hold to It . . . We simply cannot trust the Hanks tradition where It hsa been tampered with by authors who want to prove a point of their own, and have assisted the HHnkses to furnish the material which these authors wished Tbe supply has been equal to the demand." Compared to all these difficulties, the tracing of the paternal Lincoln line has been compara-tively easy. The name of Lincoln goes back to In Its earliest form to the days of Roman occupa-tion ot England. Llndum was s Roman colony established about 86 A. P. Through the succes-sive modifications of LIndum-Colonla- . Llndum-colny- , Llndcolon and Llndcoln the place name of Lincoln finally emerged. So there was a city of Lincoln tn Lincolnshire and since In the early days surnames indicated where a man lived, there came Into being families of LIncolns. The first recorded use of Lincoln as a family name appears In the Domesday Book In 1086. AKred de Lincoln (L e. "Alfred who comes from the county of Liu-coin-was a Saxon by birth, but his lands were saved from confiscation by his marriage to a Norman woman. Although tbe name of Lincoln originated In Lincolnshire. It was from Norfolk that the first LIncolns came to America. Ahrahnm Lincoln's was Samuel Lincoln who waa born In Hlngbara. Norfolk. In 1019, emigrated to Massachusetts In 1037 and died sprang. For not one or the seven aiea in tne same town In which he was born and only one In tbe same state. They are the following: I Samuel Lincoln. II Mordocal Lincoln, Sr., was born In Hlng-ha- Mass., In 1657 and died in Scltuate, Mass., In 1727. III Mordecal Lincoln, Jr., was born In Scltuate, Mass., April 24, 1080, snd after a residence In New Jersey died In Berks county, Pa., In 1736. IV John Lincoln was born In Berks county, Pa, tn 1716 and died In Virginia In 1783. V Capt Abraham Lincoln was born In Virginia In 1744 and died In Kentucky In 1786. VI Thomas Lincoln was born In Virginia In 1778 and died In Illinois In 185L VII Abraham Lincoln was born In Kentucky In 1800 and died in Washington In 1805. The maternal line of Abraham Lincoln, the Hankses, also trace back to England, and ante-date the LIncolns by many years. In his Investi-gations, Doctor Barton found Innumerable Hankses as far back as the reign of King Athelstan and before ... Athelstan died In 841, more than a century before William the Conqueror and his Normans Invaded England and subjected the Saxons to tbelr rule. . Thus, too, there were Hankses recorded In history before tbe name of Alfred de Lincoln was written In the Domesday Book. The Hankses were Malmesbury men. There was fighting In that part of Eugland during the English Civil war and it was as a result of this that the first Hanks came to A merles. He was Thomas Hanks wbo was one of 27 persons de-ported from England In 1654 as a punishment which was being Inflicted on Cromwell's men wbo were captured by tbe Royalists. Thomas Hanks became an Important landholder In what Is now Gloucester county, Virginia. Th most thst we know about him Is through various land pur-chases but bis name disappears from history after the Indian uprising of 1673 and the Bacon rebel-lion of 1076. But In 1007 the name of William Hunks appears In Richmond county. There Is every reason to believe that be was the son of Thomas Hanks and from blm the maternal an-cestry of Abraham Lincoln Is traced. That line reads as follows: I Thomas Hanks. II William Hanks. Born probably In Gloucester county, Virginia, about 1055. Diet In Richmond county in 1704. III John Hanks. Born In North Farnham parish In Richmond county, date unknown, and died In 174a IV Joseph Hanks. Bom In North Farnham parish, December 20, 1725. Died In Nelson county, Kentucky In 1793. V Lucy Hanks. Born probably In 1766 In Rich-mond county, Virginia, and died In 1825(7). VI Nancy Hanks. Born In Mineral county. West Virginia In 1783. Died In Spencer county, In-diana, October 8, 1818. VII Abraham Lincoln. It will be noted that the place of Nancy Hanks' birth was given as Mineral county. W. Va. It was not known by that name In 1783 for It was then Hampshire county of Virginia, but during the Civil war the western part of tbe Old Dominion became a separate state and thus another state Is added to tbe roil of those which have a par-ticular claim upon Abraham Lincoln. Joseph Hanks and bis family bad moved from Richmond county to Hampshire county some time before 1782. In March, 1784. that family again migrated, this time to Kentucky where Nancy Hanks wss to meet Thomas Lincoln, marry blm In Washington county, June 12, 1806. and then on that February day 121 .years ago give birth to the boy whose name was to become world famous. But the fact that Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia have Joined Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois in the list of states closely connected with the career of Abraham Lincoln Is not the only revelation In the new Barton book. More Interesting still Is the fact that the two outstanding leaders in the Civil war were relatives. In one of bis chapter head-ings Barton makes the startling statement "Lin-coln was a Lec" and in that chapter proves that both Abraham Lincoln, by virtue of his office as President commander In chief of tbe Union forces, and Robert E. Lee, the great battle leader of the Confederate forces, trace back Lincoln through the maternal line and Lee through the paternal line to a common ancestor. CoU Richard Lee. Col. Richard Lee and bis wife Anna arrived In Virginia In 1042, an event which "marked the beginning of he authentic Lee nlstory in the Old Dominion." The second son of Richard and Anna was also named Rlchnrd. The ftftb son of this Richard was Henry Lee, snd the third son of this Henry was the Lieut CoU Henry Lea, who married the Lucy Grymcs who according to the story was "the Lowland Beauty" of Washington's early life. The second child and oldest on of Lieut Col. Lee was MoJ. Gen. Henry Lee. who bestowed upon Washington the ftimous encomium "first In war, first In peace, and first In the hearts of his countrymen." And the fourth son of Gen-eral Lee wss Robert E. Lee, of Arlington and Appomattox. "And now, before we Introduce th Hmks family Into this narrative. It Is time for us to take a les-son In geography.'' says Doctor Barton And he gives that lesson thus: When Colonel Richard Lee estaMl.htd h home "In establishing tbe descent ot Abraham Lin-coln from the Illustrious families of Lee, Wood-rldg- Taylor and the rest we practically assured ourselves of his descent also from such Intimately related amiliea as the Wormsleys, the Carters, the Corblns and he others," Doctor Barton con-tinues. "Abraham Lincoln sprang from the loins of the common people through "second' or 'undis-tinguished' families (Lincoln's own words), but they were not disreputable families and In his veins was some of the bluest blood of tbe First Families of Virginia. "Robert E. Lee was born January 19, 1307. His father was the brilliant and Improvident Light Horse Harry.' His mother was of the proud stock of 'King Carter.' Little more than two years later, on February 12. 1809. In Ken-tucky, late a county of Virginia, "n s. log cabin, Abraham Lincoln was born. His father was the d and almost Impecunious Tom Lin-coln, and his mother was the gentle and Intel-ligent Nancy Hanks. All these were native Vir-ginians. "These two men present contrasts enough, but both were Intellectual, both had unusual ability, both were men of magnanimity, who emerged from a cruel war without hatred, and who sought the welfare of a reunited country. Both were men of great heart and unsullied honor. Both were Vir-ginians, and both belong to the whole of America Both North and South should be proud to know that these two great and noble Americans wer kinsmen." There Is another Interesting bit of history which Doctor Barton uncovered It. his researches In the Hanks ancestry. "We think of the Puritans of New England as far removed from the Cava-liers of Virginia." be says, "but how many of Os know that a few of those same Puritans went sontb and mlnplpd their blond with that of the first families of Virginia. Perhaps. If we knew sll tbe maternal lines, we should find that both Reb ert E. I.ee aad Abraham Lincoln were Mayflowe; iescendanta."

Play Is preliminary action trying out, testing the capacity of range of action. It differs from the reactions of adult life In that It lacks the con-summation response or adjustment The action has no ulterior motive. Play Is not an Instinct; nor Is It unique In human beings or Identical In the human race. It Is a form of acquired behavior. The stimulus back of play whether of puppies, children, or adults Is a motor mechaulsm which was built for action, glows with ac-tion, and In childhood grows best by action. Weeding the garden or picking po-tato bugs Is action. But there are drawbacks. Repetition same stira-nlu- a, same response; and no end In sight there seem to be so many weeds, so many bugs; If they are to be cleared out, the pace must be kept up. That means that the Im-pulse to respond to other stimuli that may rise and do keep rising up to beckon the child aside must be re-pressed. Play is generally actions of several kinds at the same time. Even In a game of marbles a half-doze- n differ-ent activities may function together. The difference between marbles and professional baseball Is chiefly years: the men have their game better or-ganized; are better players because more habituated to It; and stick closer to their game. But sometimes their game becomes lost In a fight with words, catcalls, and pop bottles. impulse to action; gratification of that Impulse; hang the consequences: of such Is the play of chl'dren, the daydreams and castles-l- Spain of adult What man tied to his job all day does not yearn now and then to be a Dick Deadeye, a Jesse James, or a Captain Klddl Boys can be. They rob, they hold up trains, they cap-ture ships, they bury and dig up chests of gold. We come from a long line of freebooters. There Is nothing In our Inheritance which savors of factory, treadmill, or office stool. We must acquire these priceless boblta, and often at the loss of our entire original Inheritance, which Included freedom to fight or run, and ever-lastingly to fool around. The sheer Joy of being altve, the supreme Joy of action In the child I Watch a d work off his surplus steam. Not only Is every muscle of his body in action, but his face and bis speech box are at work. It Is as though his entire being were so sensitive to excitation that the slightest wind that blows excites blm to new effort Why not? He has only Just dis-covered the most wonderful, the most excitable, the most Insatiable mech-anism In the world: a growing human being, himself) That mechanism dis-covered, the boy or girl now seta out to discover the world, and does easier than later In life. Life's In-nate curiosity has not yet been crushed; nor bas Imagination, the rapacity to make believe, yet been killed by the "realities", that grown-ups cling to like shipwrecked mariners to a rotting spar In mldocean. Play Is the beginning of knowledge. Banging tbe rattle on the crib or get-ting a toe In o.ie's mouth Is an early lesson In wisdom. Which means that there Is no sharp line between playing Jesse James and being Jesse James. But the child who stops with a stick for a gun will bring down no bigger game In later years than he can kill with a daydream. Those of us who live only in hopes build only castles In our own air. The practical application Is this: two boys will pick more than twice as many potato bugs as one and pick them faster if a definite goal Is set a quart, or a quarter. Still better re-sults can be had by setting a phono-graph near by with n good rhythmic swing to It say, the "Sambre et Meuse" or the "Washington Post March." Life bates monotony, but loves rhythm; In heartbeat, in In-testinal contraction. In canoeing. In poetry. In music. But do not expect the child to be like you through mere Imitation. The child will smile when smiled at, laugh when others laugh, yell when others yell, look at what others are looking at listen when others listen, run with or after or from others, snd duck when others duck. One sheep over the fence, all over. Not a sound at night; one dog barks; tn five min-utes fifty dogs are yelping. We also applaud, hiss, whistle, yawn, light up, with the crowd.
