Cabin Logs Taken
to Hodgenville
——
Cabin of the Great Commoner's Birth j
Reconstructed In Memorial Hall.
The logs of the Lincoln cabin,
which bad been stored in a Louisville,
(Ky.,) warehouse for nearly lour ,
years, were taken to Hodgenville,
where they were again erected into !
a structure like the original in which ,
Abraham Lincoln waa born. Tho
cabin was reconstructed inside the j
memorill hall on the Lincoln farm, |
near Hodgenville, Ky., where It will |
prooably remain for ages. The logs :
were taken to Hodgenville under the
care and direction of T. W. Miller,
superintendent of the Lincoln farm.
The logs had been in Louisville since
the Kentucky home-coming, which
took place Hi 1906. They were brought
from New York by a special repre
sentative sent from Louisville, and
played a prominent part in the exer
cises during the home-coming week.
The cabin as reconstructed stands in
the center of Lincoln Memorial Hall,
and will no doubt be the center of at
traction for Americans who revere
the name of Lincoln so long as tho
Republic laata. —Louisville Courier

Born In Kentucky, 1809.
Died in Washington, 1865.
Of ail Americans one of the bifr
gest, broadest, brainiest and bravest
was' Abraham Lincoln, whose birth
day we commemorate.
An example for the old, a guiding
star for the yeuMg, he lived and died
tor- his co««try.
"With malice toward none, with
charity for all."
CURED OF PROFANITY.
"A. Lincoln" Endorsed on a Note liw
sored Its Payment.
The following story is told of Presi
dent Lincoln; One afternoon as ho
was walMng through I-afayette
square, Washington, he noticed a
young mM who was using sulphurous
language in a manner calculated to
alarm the natives. Mr. Lincoln stop
ped the young man and asked what
the trouble was. Not knowing Mr.
Lincoln, the young fellow said that
a btankety-blank clerk in the Treas
ury Department had had him trotting
there for months to collect a small
note and he couldn't get a blankety
blank cent ont of him.
"That la pretty bad," said Mr. Lin
coln, "hut I'U teN you what I will do.
If yon wM promise me to give up us
ing profane words, I will guarantee to
collect the note for you."
After a little further talk tho
proposition was agreed to. The young
mas produced the note and handed
It to Mr. Lincoln, who wrote on tho
back, "A. Lincoln." When it was
given back to the collector and his
eyes fell en the name he unconscious
ly mumbled, "Well, I'll be d d,"
then quickly apologized to the Presi
dent, who shook his hand, cautioned
him to remember the compact, and
then resumed his afternoon stroll.
It is needless to say that the note
was promptly liquidated when next
presented.

; Lincoln's Own Story 1
Pvrnlshed for Publication During
Contest with Douglas in 1858.
This Is the brief sketch of Lin*
coin's life which he furnished for
publication when he was pitted
against Stephen A. Douglas for Sensr
tor In Illinois in 1858. It runs as fol
lows:
"I was born in February 12, 1809,
In Hardin county, Ky. My parent*
were both born in Virginia of undis
tinguished families —-second families
perhaps I should say. My mother,
who died in my tenth year, was of a
family of*the name of Hanks, some
of whom now reside in Adams, and
others in Macon county. 111. My pa
ternal grandfather, Abraham Lincoln,
emigrated from Rockingham county,
Va., to Kentucky about 1781 or 1872,
where, a year or two later, he was
killed by Indians, not in battle, but by
stealth, when he was laboring to open
a farm in the -forest. His ancestors,
who were Quakers, went to Virginia
from Berks county, Pa. An effort to
Identify them with the New England
family of the same name ended in
nothing more definite than a similar
ity of Christian names in both fami
lies, such as Enoch, Levi, Mordecal,
Solomon, Abraham and the like.
"My father at the death of hla
father was but 6 years of age, and ho
grew up literally without education.
He removed from Kentucky to what
is now Spencer county, Ind., in my
eighth year. We reached our new
home about the time the State came
into the Union. It was a wild region,
with many bears and other game ani
mals still in the woods. There I grew
up. There were some schools, so
called, but no qualification was ever
required for a teacher beyond read
in", writln' and ripherin' to the rule
of three. If a straggler supposed to
understand Latin happened to so
journ in the neighborhood he wu
looked upon as a wizard. There waa
absolutely nothing to excite ambition
for education.
"Of course when I came of age I
did not know much. Still, somehow,
I could read, write and cipher to tho
rule of three; but that was all. I
have not been to school since. Tho
little advance 1 now have upon thla
store of education I have picked up
from time to time under the pres
sure of necessity.
"I was raised to farm work, which
I continued till 1 was 22. At 21 I came
to Illinois and passed the first year In
Macon county. Then I got to New
Salem, at that time in Sangamon, now
Menard county, where I remained a
year as a sort of clerk in a store.
Then came the Black Hawk War, and
1 was elected a captain of volunteers,
a success which gave me more pleae
ure than any I have had since. 1
went through the campaign, was elat
ed, ran for the Legislature the same
year (1832), and was beaten- the only
time 1 have ever been beaten by tho
people. The next and three succeed
ing biennial elections I was elected to
the Legislature. I was not a candi
date Afterward. During this legisla
tive period I had studied law, and re
moved to Springfield to practice It.
"In 1846 I was once elected to tho
lower house of Congress. Was not a
candidate for re-election. From 1841
to 1854, both Inclusive, practiced law
more assiduously than ever before.
Always a Whig in politics and gen
erally on the Whig electoral ticket,
making active canvasses. I was 100-
Ing interest in politics when the re
peal of the Missouri compromise
aroused me again. What I have done
since then is pretty well known.
"If any personal description of mo
is thought desirable, it may be said
I am in height six feet four inches
nearly, lean in flesh, weighing on an
average 180 pounds; dark complexion,
with coarse black hair and gray eyes.
No other marks or brands recollected.
Tours very truly, A. LINCOLN."
This was written a couple of yeara
before he ran the first time for Presi
dent. "The rest," as the phraae Is,
"la history."
