Abraham Lincoln knew hardship. Once in his poverty days he tried to keep store. Ho bought it with notes ana sold on credit, and very soon, the store, to use his words." winked out." His creditors seized his horse, saddle and bridle and sold them under a sheriff's eAecution. A frien r bought them in and Tdncoln paid hack every penny. Ho learned finance from hard experience. When he made money he helped his family. One member was John, a stepbrother. John was the kind of farmer who wanted always to be selling out and moving. Abraham had helped hint, but the time came when the strong word had to be spoken. and it has been preserved in a letter full of common sense. In this letter Abraham writes to John: I learned that you are anxious to sell the land where you live and move to Missouri. I cannot but think such a notion is utterly foolish. What can you do in Missouri better than you can here? Is the land any richer? Can you there, any more than here, raise corn and wheat and oats without work? If you intend to go to work, there is no better place than right where you are; If you do not intend to go to work you cannot get along anywhere.

There are always many Johns in farming. They want to sell out; they want to move. In reality they want the money, to spend it, and never after do they own a spot biR enouRh for a grave.

Columbia Record. Well, little folks, it is going to snow this winter. How do we know? Because the Dutch Weather Prophet says so. And how does he know? I Well, he knows. He knows all about | the weather. Nothing has ever happened, woatherologically speaking, that he wasn't able to say "I told you so." And now let's put him on record for a prophecy. Here with the thermometer digging at 90 and upwards he pridicts snow. Of course we all know about the snow at th? north pole, but he predicts snow right here in Columbia, where there's always sunshine in winter and roses bloom perpetually. At least that is what we gather from his hieroglyphics. His handwriting looks like the signs of the zodiac. "Weather conditions which prevailed p.t several distinct periods in the summer indicate a severe frost in early October. The territory south and east of the Blue Ridge will be visited by heavy snows?which will 'kely occur after the winter solstice.
