Lincoln the Farmer.
Matter* soon reached s crisis which
drove the junior partner out Into the
fields again, where he undertook all
aorta of rough farm labor, from split
ting rails to plowing. ' As a man-of-all-
work, however, Lincoln did not prove
altogether satisfactory to hia employers.
He wee too fond of mounting stumps
in the field and “ practicing polemics’ ’
on the other farm hands, and there was
something uncomfortable about a plow
man who read as he followed the team,
no matter how straight his furrows ran.
Bach practices were irritating, if not
presumptuous, and there ie a well
known story about a farmer who found
“ the hired man“ lying in a field be
side the road, dressed in his not too
immaculate farm clothes, with a book
instead of a pitchfork in hia hand.
“ What are you reedingT” inquired
the old gentlemen.
» “ I ’ m nit reeding; I ’ m studying,”
answered Lincoln his wonderful eyes
still on the pages of his book.
“ Studying whatT”
“ Law sir.”
The old man stared at the speaker
for e moment in utter amusement.
“ Great— God— Alm ighty!” be mut
tered as he pasted on shaking his head.

coln the Lawyer” in the January Cen
tury.

In the days o f the first settlers In the
Chickasaw country, when Davy Crock

“Old Man Glddlns” was a prosperous
citizen o f the Forked Deer settlement
One day he started on a trip to A r
kansas, and thenceforth for several
years Forked Deer knew him no more.
As travel ia Arkansas was danger

by the court and bis estate divided
among hia heirs. A year or so later,
however, he turned up, and tried to
get possession o f bis property again.
H e was promptly seised and taken Into
court
"W hat do you mean by coming
round here, trying to take this proper
ty?” roared the court at him.
“ It's my property,” asserted Gld
dlns. "Everybody knows It's mins.”
“ Not at all!” replied the judge. “ I ’ll

It can’t be helped now. This court
has decided that you are extinctua de-

RHEUMATISM
BODY RACKED WITH PAIN
N o other bodily suffering is equal to that produced by the pain of Rheth
inatism. When the poisons and acids, which cause this disease, become in
trenched in the blooa there is hardly any part o f the body that is not af
fected. The muscles become sore and drawn, the nerves twitch and sting,
th e joints inflame and swell, the bones ache, every movement is one of
agony, and the entire body is racked with pain. Rheumatism is brought on
b y indigestion, stomach troubles, torpid Liver, weak Kidneys and a general
inactive state of the system. The refuse' matter instead o f passing off
through nature’s avenues is left to sour and form uric acid, and other acrid
boiaons which are absorbed into the blood. Rheumatism does not affect
