ii. in a curious fact that through all
'Abe's childhood and boyhood, when he
seemed to have as little prospect of the
presidency as any boy that ever was
born, he was in the habit pf. saying,
and perhaps sincerely believing, that
that great prize would one day be bis;
When Mrs. Crawford reproved him foi
fooling and bedeviling the girls In her
kitchen and asked him what he sup
posed would ever become of him, he an
swered that he was going to be presi
dent of the United States.
Abe usually did the milling for the
family and had the neighbor boy, Dave
.Turnham, for his companion. At first
they had to go a long distance, at least ;
twelve or thirteen miles, to Hoffman's,
on Anderson's creek, but after awhile
a Mr. Gordon (the husband of Sister,
Gordon, about whom toe "witty piece"
was written), built a horse mill within
a few miles of the Llncolns. Here Abe
had come one day with a grist, and
Dave probably with him. He had duly
hitched his old mare and started her
with great Impatience when, just as
he was sounding another "cluck" to
istir up her imperturbable and lazy
spirit, she let out with her heels and
Jlald Abe sprawling and insensible on
the ground. He was taken up In that
condition ami 11 not recover for raany
minutes, but the first use made of re
turning sense was to finish the inter
rupted "cluck."
Writes Temperance Article.
Mr. William Wood, already referred
to as Uncle Wood, was a genuine
friend and even a patron of Abe's. He
lived only about a mile and a half from
the Llncolns and frequently had both
Thomas Lincoln and Abe to work for
bim the one as a rough carpenter and
the other as a common laborer. He
says that Abe was In the habit of car
rying "his pieces" to him for criticism
and encouragement Mr. Wood took at
least two newspapers, one of them de
voted to politics and one of them to
temperance. Abe borrowed them both
and, reading them faithfully over and
over again, was inspired with an ar
dent desire to write something on the
subjects of which they treated. He ac
cordingly composed an article on tem
perance, which Mr. Wood thought "ex
celled, for sound sense, anything that
the paper contained." It was forward
ed, through the agency of a Baptist
preacher, to an editor in Ohio, by
whom it was published, to the infinite
gratification of Mr. Wood and his pro
tege. Abe then tried his hand on national
politics, saying that "the American gov
ernment was the best form of gov
ernment for an Intelligent people; that
It ought to be kept sound and preserved
torever; that general education should
be fostered and carried all over the
country; that the constitution should be
eared, the Union perpetuated and the
laws revered, respected and enforced."

ana, Demg favored with a perusal' of
Abe's "piece," pithily and enthusiastic
ally declared, "The world can't beat
It" "He begged for it," and it was
published In some obscure paper, this
new success causing the author a most
extraordinary access of pride and hap
piness.
But in 1828 Abe had become very
tired of his home. He -was now nine
teen years of age and . becoming daily
more restive under the restraints of
servitude which bound him. He was
anxious to try the world for himself
and make his way according to his
own notions.
"Abe came to my bouse one day,"
isays Mr. Wood, "and stood round
about, timid and shy. I knew he want
ed something and said to him, 'Abe,
what's your case?' He replied, "Uncle,
I want you to go to the river and give
me some recommendation to some
boat' I remarked, 'Abe, your age Is
against you; you are not twenty yet'
'I know that, but I want a start' said
Abe. I concluded not to go for the
boy's good."
Poor Abe! His father still had a
claim upon him, which even Uncle
Wood would not help him to evade.
He must wait a few weary months
more before he would be of age and
could say he was his own man and go
his own way. His father was a hard
taskmaster to him and no doubt con
sumed the greater part if not all, of
hi3 wages.
First Trip to New Orleans. .
In the beginning of March, 1828, Abe
went to work for old Mr. Gentry, the
proprietor of Gentryville. Early in the
next month the old gentleman furnish
ed his son Allen with a boat and a
cargo of bacon and other produce, with
which he was to go on a trading expe
dition to New Orleans, unless the stock
was sooner exhausted. Abe, having
been found faithful and eflicient was
ujtcoln as a flatboat max. .
employed to accompany the young man
as a "bow, band" to work the front
oars. He was paid $S- per month and
ate and. slept on board. Returning, -Gentry
paid his passage on the deck of
a steamboat - i .J'
-While -this boat was loading at Gen
try's Landing, near Rockport, on the
Ohio, Abe saw a great deal of the pret
ty Miss Roby, whom be had saved
from the wrath of Crawford, the school-:
master, when she failed to spell ."de
fled." She says, "Abe was then a long,
thin, leggy, gawky boy, dried up and
shriveled." This young lady subse-,
quently became the wife of Allen Gen
try, Abe's companion in the projected
voyage.
"One evening," says she, "Abe and I
were sitting on the banks of the Ohio,
or, rather, on the boat spoken of. I
said to Abe that the sun was going
down. He said to me: That's not so.
It don't really go down. Itjseems so.
The earth turns from west to east and
the revolution of the earth carries us
under, as it were. We do the sinking,
as you call it 'The sun, as to us, is
comparatively still. The sun's sinking
Is only an appearance.' I replied, 'Abe, !
what a fool you aref I know now that
I was the fool, not Lincoln. I am now
thoroughly satisfied that Abe knew the
general laws of astronomy and the
movements of the heavenly bodies. He
was better read then than the world .
knows or is likely to know exactly. No
man could talk to me- that night as he
did unless he had known something of
geography as well as astronomy. He
often and often commented or talked''
to me about what he had read seemed
to read it out of the book as he went -along;
did so to others. He was the
learned boy among us unlearned folks.
He took great pains to explain; could ;
do It so simply. He was diffident then j
too."
The trip of Gentry and Lincoln was
a very profitable one, and Mr. Gentry,
Sr., was highly gratified by the result
Abe displayed his genius for, mercan
tile affairs by handsomely putting off
on the innocent folks along the river
some counterfeit money which a
shrewd fellow had imposed upon Allen.
Allen thought his father would be an
gry with him for suffering himself to
be cheated, but Abe consoled him with
the reflection that the "old man"
wouldn't care how much bad money
they took in the course of business if
they only brought the proper amount of
good money home.
At Madam Bushane's plantation, six
miles below Baton Rouge, they had
an adventure which reads strangely
enough in the life of the great emanci
pator. The boat was tied up to the
shore, in the dead hours of the night,
and Abe and Allen were fast asleep in
the cabin in the stern, when they
were startled by footsteps on board.
They knew . instantly that it was a
gang of negroes come to rob and per
haps to murder them. Allen, thinking
to frighten the intruders, cried Out:
"Bring the guns, Lincoln. Shoot them!"
Abe came without a gun, but he fell
among the negroes with a huge blud
geon and belabored them most; cruelly.
Not content with beating them off the
boat, he and Gentry followed them far
back into the country and then, run
ning back to their craft hastily cut
loose and made rapid time down the
river, fearing lest they should return
In greater numbers to take revenge.
The victory was complete, but In win
ning it Abe received a scar which be
carried with him to his grave.
CHAPTER III.
Lincoln Starts Out In the World Fox
- Himself.
rtBE and Gentry returned from
gi New Orleans some time in
JW June, 1828. having been gone
not quite three months. How
much longer he remained in the service
of Gentry, or whether he remained at
all, we are unable to say, but he soon
took up his old habits and began to
work around among his neighbors or
for his father, precisely as he had done
before he got his partial glimpse of the
great world down the river.
In the fall of 1S20 Mr. Wood saw him
cutting down a large tree In the woods
and whipsawing it into planks. Abe
said the lumber was for a new house
his father was about to build, but
Thomas Lincoln changed his mind be
fore the house was half done, and Abe
sold his plank to Josiah Crawford, "the
book man," who worked them Into the
southeast room of his house, where
relic seekers have since cut pieces from
them to make canes.
In truth, the continued prevalence of
that dreadful disease, the milk sick
ness, was more than a sufficient rea
son for a new removal now in contem
plation by Thomas Lincoln. It was an
awful scourge, and common prudence
suggested flight In the spring of 1830,
before the winter had fairly broken up,
Thomas and Abe, Dennis Hanks and
Levi Hall, with their respective fami
lies, thirteen In all, took the road for
Illinois. John Hanks bad gone to the
Hew country from Kentucky in the fall
of 1828 and - settled near Decatur,
whence he wrote Thomas Lincoln all
about it 'and advised him to come there.
Lincoln sold his farm to Gentry and
his corn and bogs to Dave Turnham.
The corn brought only 10 cents a bush
el, and, according to the price list fur
nished by Dennis' Hanks, the stock
must have gone at figures equally
mean.

the smell of varnish. The doctor can
use a word a i ard long without knowing
what it means, but if the editor uses it
he has to spell it. jj t If the doctor goes to
