Where Lincoln Spent Childhood.
Hodgenvllle, which is near the geo
ftraphical center of the State of Ken
lucky and not far from the center of
population of the United States, prom
ises to become a new Mecca in America
and the Lincoln farm a ascond Mount
Vernon. He lived here for eight years,
went swimming in the nearby creek and
by the light from the huge fireplace in
the little one-room cabin he learned his
first lessons.
It was In l.v that Thomas Lincoln
brought his bride, Nancy Hanks, to this
rude little home. Theirs was the rough
life of pioneers; the farm was then, as
now, a sterile piece of land and to make
both ends meet the elder Lincoln did odd
Jobs of carpentry in the vicinity, besides
working tha farm. The actual necessi
ties of life were seldom lacking, but it
was a life of severe poverty. For some
years Thomas Lincoln served as a county
supervisor of public roads and on road-
mending days he used to take little Abe
along. There are old-timers here now
who say that there Is not a section of the
old pike within several miles of his home
along which Abraham Lincoln has not
played or on which he "has not driven
his ox team.
Wished to Revisit Birthplace.
In 8U the Llncolns sold the little farm
and moved to Indiana, but Abraham
Lincoln never forgot his first home. He
rarely referred to it, but after he had be
come President of the United States, he
is known to have said:
'When the war Is over, I would like
very much to visit my old Kentucky
hot!". I remember it well."
But ho never did return and the farm
and the little log cabin had . varied
history. Thomas Lincoln sold the place
to a family named Creal and it remained
In their hands for over "0 years. Its
beautiful rock spring was apparently Its
one redeeming feature and only recently
has anyone awakened to the realization
that those 110 acres had any historic
value. It has only changed hands twice
sice Thomas Lincoln's original transfer.
A few years ego it was given Into the
management of Rev. J. W. Bingham, who
removed the log cabin to the exhibition
at Nashville, and later sold H to some
exhibitors who took It about the country
as a traveling show. But a year or two
ago the logs were found In a cellar at
College Point. L. I., where it -was stored
and with appropriate ceremonies was re
stored to Its original site.
The farm itseir has been the subject
of litigation for several years and many
, schemes have been suggested. Finally

MRS. SHELTON WILL
ACT AS GOVERNOR
CHAMBERLAIN'S SECRETARY TO
TAKE HIS PLACE.
Woman W ill Be Oregon's Executive
Officer When Senator-elect
' Goes to AVashlngton.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 1L
(Special.) When George E. Chamber
lain goes to Washington to be sworn in
as Senator, a -woman will be acting
Governor of Oregon.
His present stenographer will be
come private secretary when the pres
ent private secretary becomes Circuit
Judge in Multnomah County, a, few
days hence, and when the Governor
goes to Washington he will leave the
new private secretary, Mrs. C. B. Shel
ton, in charge of the affairs of his of
fice. As already stated, the Governor will
not resign the office of Governor un
til he has been sworn in as Senator
and seated. Though out of the state,
he will continue to be Governor, but
the work of the executive office will
be done by Mrs. Shelton, who will, sign
the Governor's name, issue official
documents, conduct the correspondence,
etc.
It has always been the practice when
the Governor leaves the state for the
private secretary to conduct the work
of the office in the Governor's name,
and the precedent will be followed even
though a woman holds the position of
private secretary. Mrs. Shelton has
been Chamberlain's stenographer" for
many years ana is very competent In
a position of that kind. The Governor
will have no hesitancy in leaving her
in charge of the office during his trip
to the National Capital.

est entered into by any nation during
the present two centuries, and I am glad
to say to you that the work is going

the first of January, 1215, at least. If
not before and I am very much inter
ested in having It within the next four
years that canal will be completed. And
when that time comes you will see

merce, bound through those straits to
the west coast of South America, to the

FIND OLD ALTAR
OF PERSIAN SECT
VALUABLE DISCOVERIES AT
JAXICCLUM.
Some Rites of Ancient Worshipers
of Mithras Similar to Those
of Masonry.
ROME, Feb. 11. (Special.) Archaeol
ogists working at Janiculum have dis
covered an altar used In the mysterious
worship of Mithras; and In the inscrip
tions thereon have found an explanation
of the rites used by the ancient wor
shipers of the Persian deity. They re
port that some of the practices of the
ancient sect are identical with some of
those adopted by the Free Masons.
Professor Pasqui, who directed the ex
cavation, also gives It as hie belief that
this sect, among other of its practices,
at times made human sacrifices to their
deity. This belief Is based on the find
ing of human bones near the altar. These
bones, which are very old, were at
first thought to be animal relics, but
have now been positively identified as
human remains. Further report of the
investigations aro to be withheld until
the excavations are cor.'.pleted.

Chief of Weather Bureau Also Finds
Long-Distance Forecusts
Are Success.
CHICAGO, Feb 11. (Special.) At
last the trouble-maker in things meteo
rological has been run to earth. The
secret men of the United States "Weath
er Bureau have put their fingers on
the capital offender to blame for the
major portion of the squalls, gales,
hurricanes, drizzles, deluges, blasts and
blizzards that afflict mankind.
The Rocky Mountain Plateau Is the
guilty party, according to Professor
Willis L. Moore, Chief of the Govern
ment weather forces, who is in town
this morning for a three days' visit
His arrival was made signal by the
declaration that tho long distance
weather forecast is a success, and that
the weather office has prov'ed its abili
ty 4to detect approaching storm areas
more than a week in advance.
As an instance. Professor Moore cited
the cold snap, preceded and accompa
nied by much moisture and vigorous
air currents, that has Just passed over
this city on Its way to New England.
"When that storm was discovered, hav
ing just assumed malignant propor
tions, it was located in Eastern Asia,
but its baggage was checked ric"-it

BAD PLAYS WOMEN'S FAULT
Charles Biirnham Says They Like

KEW TORK, FeD. 11. The relation
of the public to the theater, with spe

are not plays of a desirable character,
was discussed tonight by Charles Bum
ham, president of the Association of
Theater Managers, and by Marc Klaw
before the Entertainment Club.
Mr. Burnham declared the public was
more responsible for the plays presented
than the managers.
'New York is a town of sensations,"
said Mr. Burnham. "Let the word be
passed that a play is broad or indelicate,
and the town runs wild about it, while
some play of merit, bright and enter
taining. Is laid on the shelf.
"Women are more to be blamed than
men. No .play can exist that Is not
patronized by women."

Price Will Bring Forth Invisible
- Supply and That Break Will
Follow, Despite Patten.
CHICAGO. Feb. 11. ( Special.) May
wheat today touched $1.13. which price
is higher than during the green bug ex
citement of 1907. and higher than any
previous time since the Gates deal, whioli
culminated in April, 1D05.
James A. Patten, the big bull leader In
wheat, has become the aggressor In the
market and is determined to force
things. Patten's house was prodding the
market Judiciously, supporting it when
easy, hurrying it when the shorts were
inclined to show nervousness, and buy
ing enough at the last to close it at the
top prices of the season.
Patten Hot After Beurs.
It Is plainly Patten's intention to" rout
the bears and short sellers In the mar
ket. In this he has been successful, the
shorts running to cover on each bulge,
and the domination of the big trader is
becoming more absolute with each suc
ceeding day.
Shorts have been given no respite and
hardly a chance for more than a tem
porary breathing spell since the market
left $1.06 for May on January 20. Many
of the large traders, after the big deal,
who sold out Monday on Patten's advice
to take profits on the bulge, failed to re
Instate on Tuesday's decline, and the
Patten control of the wheat market is
therefore more nearly absolute than at
any time since the big deal began.
