DOWN ON THE OLD LINCOLN FARM PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT LAYS THE CORNER STONE OF A MEMORIAL BUILDING. MARKS LINCOLN BIRTHPLACE Centennial Anniversary of the Great President's Birth Is Observed by a Notable Ceremony on Historic Ground. Hodgenville, Ky.—The centenary of Abraham Lincoln's birth was observed generally throughout the United States, but nowhere did the commemoration exercises com mand more interest than those held in this little town to-day. Two miles from here on the Lincoln (arm, which Las been purchased by a national as sociation, formed for the purpose. President Roosevelt laid the corner stone of a memorial building now be ing erected by popular subscription to mark Lincoln's birthplace and to pro tect for all time the little log cabin in •which the martyr president was born. The centenary address on th':s occa sion was delivered by President Roosevelt. Gen. Luke E. Wright, the secretary of war, spoke on behalf of the Confederate soldiers. Gen. James Grant Wilson represented the vete rans of the Union army and Lincoln's native state was represented by Gov. Augustus E. Willson of Kentucky. Other addresses were made bv Bishop Galloway of Mississippi and ex-dov. Joseph W. Folk of Missouri. Hodgenville, which is near the geo graphical center of Kentucky and not far from the center of population of the United State# promises to be come a' new Mecca in America and the Lincoln farm a second Mount Ver non. Although Abraham Lincoln had other homes, there is a sentiment about his birthplace that does not at tach to any of them. He lived here for eight years and before he left, knew very much of what Mark Twain calls "the model little farm that raised a man." He 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 1806 that Thomas Lincoln brought his bride, Nancy Hanks, and established the rude little home that three years later was to welcome in to the world the future president. Their's 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. A SUMMONS BY WIRELESS It Brought Timely Aid to a Barken tine that was in Distress. New York City. Thanks to a wireless summons sent by the steam er El Norte, of the Southern Pacific Steamship Co., six ocean going ves sels and the revenue cutter Onondaga are keeping more or less distant watch on the barkentine Matanzas, bound for Philadelphia from Fernan dina and sighted 12 miles southeast of the Diamond Shoal lightship, flying signals of distress in a northeast gale. The El Norte, which in equipped with the wireless system, came up with the barkentine Wednesday and stood by her until daylight while the crew jettisoned her cargo of lumber. A wireless message sent by the El Norte to Pendelton Bros, of this city, owners of the Matanzas, through the wireless station at Cape H.itteras, ap prised them of the plight of the bark entine. A similar message sent to the four winds was picked up by the steamer Comus, which hastened to the assistance of the disabled ship. The El Norte then proceeded, upon assurance from the captain of the Matanzas that he could keep his ves sel afloat. When the Comus came tip with the barkentine a few hours later the water was gaining on the men at the pumps at the rate of a foot an hour and her captain decided to stand by. A wireless message sent by him to the Hatteras station and out to sea a thousand miles brought the steamer Larimer to the scene, and the two vessels stood guard over the little sailing craft until 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when she was reported 4:'. miles northeast of the Diamond Shoal lightship. The Larimer then pro ceeded, leaving the Comus on guard. Once Famous Actor Suicides. New York City.

ONE KIDNEY GONE But Cured After Doctors Said There Was No Hope. Sylvanus O. Verrlll, Milford, Me., says: "Five years ago a bad injury t paralyzed me and affected my kid neys. My back hurt mo terribly, and the urine was bad ly disordered. Doc tors said my right kidney was practi cally dead. They said I could never walk again. I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and began us ing them. One box made me stronger and freer from pain. I kept on using them and in three months was able to j get out on crutches, and the kidneys | were acting better. I improved 'ap- I Idly, discarded the crutches and to j the wonder of my friends was soon i completely cured." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. INAPPROPRIATE. "I am glad that Washington's birthday is a holiday; it gives mo chance to lie in bed in the morning." "George wouldn't like to have you celebrate his birthday by lying." Showing the Right Spirit. A little boy had been naughty at dinner, and had been sent away from the table just as his favorite dessert —cabinet pudding with butter and sugar sauce—was being served. About nine o'clock that evening, when the other children had gone to bed and his parents were alone in the sitting room, a tear-stained little face and a white-robed figure appeared at the door. "Mamma," it said, bravely, between sobs, "you told me never togo to sleep when anything wrong had been done until it was all fixed by right, so I came down to tell you that —that —that—l—forgive you and papa for what you did to me at the dinner table." Criminality of Waste. If I wanted to train a child to he ' thrifty I should teach him to abhor j waste. I do not mean waste of ! money; that cures itself, because very soon there is no money to waste—but waste of material, waste of something that is. useful but that you cannot rep resent in money value to the waster. There is waste of water, waste of gas and things of that kind. If you would wish your children to be thrifty I would beg to impress upon them the criminality of waste. —Lord Rosebery, in an Edinburgh Address. Come Get Your Medicine.

It Is a coming fashion to hire a hall to entertain your friends, to give din ner parties in a hotel, to be married in a church, to be taken to a hospital when you are sick and to an under taker's as soon as you die, and left there until the funeral. The tendency is to conduct all public occasions away from home. The home is get ting a black eye.—Atchison (Kan.) ] Globe. NO MEDICINE But a Change of Food Gave Relief. ; Many persons aro learning that' drugs are not. the thing to rebuild j worn out nerves, but proper food is ; required. There is a certain element in the cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is grown there by nature for f6od to brain and nerve tissue. This is the phos phate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts food contains a large proportion. In making this food all the food ele- i ments in the two cereals, wheat and ! barley, are retained. That is why so many heretofore nervous and run down people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve | and brain food. "I can say that Grape-Nuts food has j done much for me as a nerve renew er," writes a Wis. bride. "A few years ago, before my mar riage, I was a bookkeeper in a large j Arm. I became so nervous toward the i end of each week that it seemed I ! must, give up my position, which I could not afford to do. "Mother purchased some Grape-Nuts i and we found it not. only delicious but j I noticed from day today that 1 was j improving until I finally realized I was net nervous any more. "I have recommended it to friends as a brain and nerve food, never hav ing found Its equal. I owe much to ! Grape-Nuts as it saved me from a : nervous collapse, and enabled me to I retain my position." Name given by Post.um Co., Battle ' Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well- I ville," in pkgs.
