The Family Pedigree of the Hanks,. and Their Early Deeds. A friena requests me to give for pub- lication. If I can do so, a sketch of the family of Nancy Hanks, the mother of Abraham Lincoln. She tells me she hits rend every history of Abraham Lincoln and considers it very strange that nettling has ever been written by the historians of the president's moth- er. except that her name was Nancy Ranks. The historians never made any ef- fort to trace the pedigree of the fam- ily Raymond, in his \Life and State Papers of Abraham Lincoln,\ declares nothing is known concerning her an- cestry or early life. He merely men- tions that she was a Virginian by birth. The name Hanks is rare in America, yet we have a straighter line on the pedigree of the Ilankses than we have of the Lincolus. Beyond the grand- father of Abe Lincoln, we know abso- lutely nothing of the family pedigree. The earliest account we have of the Hankses is their first appearance in Gloucester county. VIL. in Val In deed book No. 6. land grants, page 472. 1173. Is recorded the grant of 264 acres to Thomas Hanks. And -on page 476. same year. 1673. Is recorded a pat- ent to Thomas flanks for 500 acres. In the early colonial history of Virginia a person who paid for the passage of a person who came to settle in Virginia W118 entitled to a land grant of several hundred acres. This was why he Was given a grant of land. The patent of nt51 acres which is recorded was land !slid for in cash or tobacco, which was the circulating medium in Virginia. In course of time the family increased and emigrated westward. We next hear of them in Orange county, 140 miles west of Gloucester. Among the marriages recorded in Orange court- house on March 26. 1803, Is Rodney Hanks, son of Reuben and Elizabeth Hanks. to Alice Chandler. But they didn't stop at Orange courthouse. We find a family of them In Rockingham county. Va., In 1790, and another in Shenandoah county. In 1780 Abraham 1.1neeln, grandfather of President Lin- coln. removed to Kentucky from Rock- ingham county. Va., and we are cer- tain that the Hanks family was with the 1.1neetns during that journey. The next account we have of the Hankses Is In 1806. In (bat year, in Kentucky, Thomas Lincoln. father of the presi- dent, married Nancy Hanks. The next account of the Ilankses was at the battle of Tippecanoe. to Indiana. Nov 7. 1811. We find the names of Peter and James [Links. Peter was killed fie was a member of Captain Berry's company of militia from Ken- tucky James belonged to a company of mounted riflemen and was from Kentucky They may have been broth- ers, and if so I am certain they were the brothers of Nancy Hanks.

Hindu Weddings and Burials. The expenses of a Hindu wedding come upon the bride's father, and they are so great that a family sometimes is ruined or Impoverished for many years by the marriage of a daughter. The next most costly affair to the Hindu is the burial services. Should the head of the family escape bankruptcy when his daughter is married the eld- est son is almost sure to be ruined when he buries his father.

The company being seated in a cir cle, one starts by whispering to Iii neighbor on his left au article; this um whispers to the one on the left an ati jective; he whispers to the one on hi- left a noun, and each whispers to the rune on the left the following parts of speech In regular order: An article. no adjective, a noun singular, a verb, an adverb, a number, another adjective and a noun plural, the last one embus by whispering to tile first. When each has had the word sills pered in his or her ear the second sew tells his weld aloud. then the third. fourth, and so on, until a complete sen tence is spoken.

Any number may play at lemons Two of them stand aside, joining hands like the arch In London bridge They represent the squeezer. The ot I) er players are the lemons. and the.i stand at some distance from the squeezer. The squeezer sings: litome lemon, I want for the freezer Come, Juicy ones; come to the squeezer They keep on singing this refrain. while the lemons creep nearer rind nearer. Suddenly one of them darts through the arch. If the squeezer is quick enough the lemon Is caught and squeezed and stands aside, out of the gatne, while the squeezer sings: A Juicy lemon—squeeze hint dry. We'll have another by and by. But if the lemon gets through un- caught the squeezer sings: See. the lemon's passed us by! To catch another we must try. If the squeezer fails three times it Is worn out and n new one must take its place. In this way the game can be kept up for n long time, for it is seldom that all the !Orions get caught Money In Birds' Nests. , A small boy of Caldwell. N. J.. Is the richer by $10 for the fact that some sparrows chose to build their nests in the attic windows of his home. John Bowman is his name. and it all came about when some sparrows annoyed hI4 mother so much that she told him to destroy their nests that had been built in the windows on the top floor. John went ahead to do so. like an ebedient son, but he was somewhat surprised to find that inside the first nest was it tiny scrap of a ten dollar bill. John didn't think much of this, hut he be- came interested when he went on and found that in the other nests were other pieces of the note. Seemingly the colony of the birds had divided the booty between them. John went on to colleet all the pieces of the bill he you'd and then sent them on to the treasury department at Washington to be re- deemed. The Snake's Tail.
