his family, at the Ald homestead in
East Cleveland (formerly Euclid) on
Thanksgiving. Prom the Voice we
Icarn that there were assembled father,
mother, seven Sods, and four daughters
thirteen in all. How proud old Abe
must Jaye fals he gazed at his chil
dren a race of modern Anakins.
The hight of the old gentleman,; ?lio

Iu this connection we will say a
word or two about the worthy head of
this familv.Al w said before, he is
an iufautof , sixty-one V'ears of age,
and is s(i feet fix and. a half stauding
in kit;,' boot,- fairly proportioned iu
fdVmV without a pound of waste" flesh.
He was antf. is ;a: giaBt" iu museUlar

ors went out to' his place to "raise a
must," -lie Jhrasbpd the vhoo lot; and
threw them one by one out of the
door just as one wp.uld throw so many
babies, and during that operation he
dared potIoublIus fist .for fear his
blows might prove fatai'to some 'of
the rowdies. Abe formerly carried on
the tHdnesipf ,poopexio4.U8ed to
come down w.th his load of barrels.
On one occasion, while stopping at the
iveu lavern, latterly known as the
'Jickso,nlusief" apd whiclj is npv

who was out there with his turnout in

got in, u difficulty wjlh A.e.ifld hav
ing insulted him in some way or an
other, Abe resented it -by lifting the
oufc'gr rgbt up, and straddling.it
across the fence, and theu got on his
wagon and drove off to town, whistling
as though nothing was the matter,
and leaving tho luckless wight to get
his buggy off the fence as best he
could. o 1 ..: r
On another occasion, years ago,
while Uncle Abe was Handing at what
was latterly known as Wright's Tavern
a counle of 'young' bloods- got Into
their buggy, to" drive into the city, one
of whom thouglii it would be'smart to
crack his whip over Abe, and he did
so as he drove tff. Uncle Abo.aJthough
the most peaceable of men, could not
brayk that. insult, rand- being n-gfeat
runner havinz been known ' to run
tlowu a fox he-oooly started after the
scampe on toot."- When they saw his
huge form Btftding after them, the
frightened fellows pHed the whip and
put their horse on a run, but the steady
fust gait of Abe overtook them after a
chase of about a mile. He stopped
the horse and got into the huggy, took
the reins out of, their hands and drove
back to the' corners, where he gave
tbeirf both' tt' threshing wilh a whip,
madg them brg his pardon, aud let
them go their way, sadder but wiser.

returned this diplomatic reply; 1: :
. "Sutfieiently well, your serene high

defeat, to victory, and so delighted the
Prince that he nut his lmn.l ,n I.;
