Klijah's wife died many eyars ago. He was blessed with four children during his married life, three girls and one boy. The house where he lives with his daughter Is a modest one story structure, witli a broad porch, and often strangers passing by have commented on his striking resemblance to Abraham Lincoln, without suspecting that he is a relative of the great President.

Recently he returned from Mount Oat-mcl. where he attended a soldiers' reunion. A Fort Hranch man accompanied him. His friend, hi fore Introducing him. remarked "lo you know this man?" In a free and easy manner of Intercourse hi.

those who wear the IS. A. It. button, the Illiiiolsan replied. "No, I don't know him, but he's the ugliest man I eier saw, and he makes me think of old 'Abe' Lincoln." Then, win the comrade had told who It was, the Illiiiolsan begged Lincoln's pardon and itsked him not to tell any Illinois comrades about the inoid.Tit.

Mr. Lincoln this story with a great deal of enjot mi nt. "A great many of the stories told about 'Abe' are without foundation," says Mr. Lincoln, "but he was. In fact, a great joker, and I might, add that It is a trait which affects the entire i.iin oiu i.i.oity to a prcuy nad ext tit.

Agent of I'rutltleare. Mr. says, in regard to the rapid rise of his cousin, "1 hate thought it all out and I can account for it only mi the theory that 'Abe' was chosen by Cod to carry out his divine plans. He was but an Instrument. 'Abe' was only a scrub of a sort of a fellow bke the rest of us when he lived in Indiana.

For years after he moved to Illinois he was nothing more than a jackleg of a lawyer and a poor one at that. He was born and raised without any signs of future greatness and no one ever thought that he would be President of our country. There was no doubt that he had legs enough to walk lo Washington, but whether he could have gotten to be President is the next question. 1 firmly believe that all the time he was so green. Cod was educating him up to be the Moses that would lead the 'niggers' out of bondage.

"When 'Abe' was a voting strap he went down to New Orleans, where he saw both men and women, as well as children, sold from the Mock. He saw them lashed until the blood ran down their backs. He saw tiny babies torn from their mammies' arms and sold i the Mock. He must have said, 'Hy the i ternal. If I ever get a chance to hit that thing meaning slavery), I'll hit it Little did he think then what a blow he would strike some thirty years later after that trip.

"He was only a common, ordinary flat boatman, but the good Lord finally gave him his chance, and 'Abe' v.as right there. 'Abe' never attended church, but I guess he was a deep. terian. or Methodist or Roman c-'hciic. i people should control their prejudice and not get wronif oa a subject of this kilid.

He says "Abe" always Is spoken of as champion rail splitter. Klijah believes that "Abe" split some rails, but thinks he has him beaten an entire block.

Splitting- rails and making cord wood was the best work up to fifteen years ago. "'Abe' was too clumsy and couldn't hit the wedge, therefore was not a success as a rail splitter," says Klijah, who at the present lime can wield an ax with considerable force. His home people say he is the champion rail splitter of the Hoosier state, for after the Civil war ho made the rails used by all of the farmers for miles around. LTijuii Lincoln has many relics at his home, sent to him by friends living near the old Lincoln homes. He also haa a huge number of pictures which he treasures highly.

Among the many photographs la that of the immortal President's hat box. Anything concerning his cousin excites his Interest and he always will give his eager attention.
