though Indirectly, of course, Lincoln lost his Job with Taylor. It may not be wholly without Interest to here record it. There lived In the neighborhood a family named Main. They were pioneers of the place, and were highly respected. The first case ever tried In the new court-house at Troy.

In 1817. by the Perry Circuit Court, was Anna Main vs. Thomas L. Neigh-nors. for slander.

In which the plaintiff asked for and was given $5. (NX) damages. Miss Euslo Main nas a buxom maiden, fair to look upon. Hhe had dark, bewitching eyes. Into whose shadows a susceptible swain lingertngty looked at the appallng j-lsk of his heart.

James Taylor bad a son who was about one year older than Lincoln. His name was Green Taylor, and he now- lives In Dakota. Toung Taylor was basking In the sunshine and shadow of Susie's eyes when Lincoln came upon the scene. He lingered for one soulful glance of the maiden's dark eyes, and fell a victim, to her charms. Naturally, a rivalry sprang up between the two smitten youths.

bkh culminated In a personal encounter. This toog place In the corn-crib of James Taylor, and In the flajht Lincoln waa worsted by being struck a fearful blow across the temple with an ear of corn by bis hot-headed rival. The scar from this cruel blow Lincoln carried to his grave. A few weeks after this encounter the Lincoln family moved eighteen miles Inland and opened a farm.

TPboto by Sugg. OF ANDEES0N KTVEB. LOUIS, NOV. 20. rfpeclai.

At a meeting to be held here this week an effort will be made to form an association of the Ken-tuckians who are real-dents of this city under the title of the Kentucky State "Society. The movement Is being fathered by Hon. Harry Hawes, formerly of Covington, and that the project Is favored by the people from the Bluegrass State is evident from the many Inquiries Mr. has received as to the date of the meeting. This has not yet been settled, but next Friday night will probably be agreed upon, and th big parlors of the 'Planters' Hotel have been selected as the place.

Mr. Hawes Is confident the society will be formed, and that it will not only be a success, but that it will have from the start a greater membership than any similar society, although some of them have been In existence for years. 1 1 Is only a few years since Mr. Hawes came to this city, but during that time be has won much distinction in both legal and political affairs. He Is looked upon by many as the coming leader of the Democratic party In this State.

He Is now President of the Jefferson Club, the great factor in local politics, and his recent appointment as State Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police by Gov. Stephens shows be Is in favor with the administration. It Is said that Mr. Hawes' work during the recent campaign Is responsible, more than that of any other Individual, for the Republican losses throughout the State at tbe recent election. Kentucky people In this city have had the society In view for some time, and Mr.

Hawes and several friends had a meeting early In the summer for the purpose of discussing Its organisation, but soon after that he was sent through the country for the purpose of investigating the (police systems of the big cities, and when he returned the campaign was In full swing. Immediately after Una election, however, he again took, the matter up. and nest week's meeting will be the result. There ia apparently no reason why Kentucky should not have a State society. Alabama.

Virginia, Tennessee. Indiana and Ohio have organisations of this kind, and the East is represented by the New England Society. All these societies, with the exception of the Alabama, were formed years ago. Tennessee's association was formed soon after tho war. andvit baa Uls largest- wafti." i bership about 200.

Object "It is too early to sar how Kentucky's society will be conducted if It Is organised at next week's meeting. Some of those mentioned meetjbut once a year and then at banquets. Others hold weekly or monthly meetings. "when the progress of the State In commerce, literature and art Is discussed. Mr.

Hawes hopes to make the Kentucky State Society more of a club. He wants the society to have rooms In some business block, a place that shall become the general rendesvoua for Kentuckians visiting the towneither for business or pleasure. He wants a collection similar to that of the Kentucky Historical Society In Louisville in the club-rooms and all the papers of tbe State on file. He believes the membership dues and the proceeds from the cafe will pay the expenses. Certainly there are enough people eligible for members.

to make the society a One meets Kentuckians everywhere. They are represented In every trade and profession. Kentucky women grace 8t. Louis society. Some of the best known men In the city come from the Blue Grass State.

And the best part of it Is they are always near the top. If you hear a group of lawyers discussing some hitherto unknown member of the bar who has just made a brilliant speech and the question is asked, the chances are some one better informed than the rest will say, -Oh, he's from Kentucky." And after that it Is taken as a matter of course that he will surprise the bench and bar occasionally. It Is the same In the medical profession, and the reports Louisville has sent -over has made the word Kentucky an "Open Sesame" to the newspaper world which, by the way, is quite a world in itself in St. Louis. As an illustration of the number of Kentuckians in this city and the diversity of their occupations, it Is only necessary to mention a little Incident of a few days ago.

I dropped Into the cafe of the Southern Hotel In search of Breckinridge Jones, the first vice-pres-. Ident and manager of the Mississippi Valley Trust- Company, and found him at luncheon with three other men. Just as well known In Louisville as he. There was Newton Terry, local city passenger agent of the Illinois Central road; James Pryor Curd, an old I'enden-nic Club favorite and son-in-law of Banker Swearingen; Dr. John Toung Brown, son of tbe ex-governor and one of the most distinguished physicians In the State, and Hamilton P.

Prather, nephew of CoU Alfred Pope, and who Is connected wjtb one of the big- wholesale dry-goods houses here. They had been down to union station where they bade God-speed to Sidney Hayden, another old Louisville beau, who bas gone to Colorado for the benefit of his health. While I waa talking with Mr. Jones, the waiter was getting elaborate instructions for a salad from Mr. Terry.

The fellow ventured to suggest that Mr. Crawford was In the kitchen. "Oh, that's all right then," said Mr. Terry; -Crawford knows bow I want it-" Some one wanted to know who this remarkable man, with a knowledge of Terry's likes and dislikes, was. And it turned out that he was no other than John Crawford, who was tlehead carver at the Gait House for at least ten yeas.

And after lunchefin was over the entire party went back to the kitchen and shook bands with him, which made tbe tears come Into old John's eyes. As I passed through the cafe cn my way out I saw three other Kentuckians thera. Lavs; lb one Ba above all others the fans want to see back with the Colonels; Dick Ramsey, tn whose gymnasium there used to take place some rattling boxing bouts, and John Thomas, who was with Applegate Co. for several years, were sitting about one of the tables. The first two are working on art athletic tournament they expect to hold In the coliseum this winter.

Thomas bas forsaken the horse-racing game and Is doing well with the American. Tobacco Co. Successful Kentuckians. Perhaps the most phenomenal success made by a Louisville boy has been that Qf John Botts. A couple of years ago he was a clerk In Prick's drug store at Sixth and Chestnut streets.

lie came to St. Louis with little besides Keti-. lucky perseverance and a determination to get ahead. To-day he la In charge of one of the largest estates In the city that of Harrison Drummohd, founder of the Drummond Tobacco Co. and has.

his name on a most imposing bra plate on the front door of his office. Vesterday's papers contain notices of a reception and musicals which Is to be tendered Mrs. Belle Castleman Curroll at tho Fourteenth-street Theater next Saturday night by the business men uf the city. Mrs. Carroll was the Stat.

Commissioner to tbe Atlanta, Nashville and Omaha Expositions and the merchants thought the best testimonial they could give ber was a public reception. Some pf the best-known women In city are mentioned as patronesses. Among them are several Kentuckians. Mrs. Peter Nicholson, who was Miss Anna Field, a daughter of Judge Field; Mrs.

Marshall Ward, a sister of Carson, of the DUIana stock farm at Lexington; the Misst-s Hlg-glns, daughters iof the Main-street shoe manufacturer; Mrs. Crail, widow of United States Commissioner CraJI. and who. it Is rumored. Is to be married in spring; Mrs.

Joseph Franklin, who was Laura, the daughter of Rev, John H. Toung; Mis. J. W. Van Cleave, who was Miss Carrie Fletcher, and Mrs.

Charles AVhlte, who was Mips Annie Bonnycasl'e. 'Harris Johnston, of J. Stod- lard Johnston and who rewnijy married -Miss Julie Cox. of this city, is back front his wedding trip and the young couple are at home In a pretty little house in the Weet End. Mr.

Johnston Is connected with the Southn-n History Company, Two other Kentucky buys with the same publishers are Tom Leonard, of Pa-ducah. who was with the Louisville and Ttip- pet(rbwrhti of Ji-v. ao In the Fourth Estate. One of the great additions to the Kentucky society will emiw from the newspaper men. There Is a small colony of them here and, with the exception of a few who are married.

they live In a UuegraHS atmosphere In the fame block, which has bestowed upon it that badly-treatttl word Bohemia. Among thtm are Julian Jackson, financial exit-tor of the Chronicle: It. S-nines Colston, political editor. uf'-the lube-Democrat; A C. one of the btighteet writers of the Star stuff; Wilt.

Edmunds, a son of Sterling Edmunds, court man for the Chronicle; Ft auk. Dallam, of Paducuh, dramatic editor of the Post- -Dixpatch; Tom Wright, Board of Trade man for the same paper A. Crooks. police man' for the Giobe-Demuciat; Pat Farnswortb. of Lexington, man on the same publication, and Donald Pmlman, editotiui parugrapher on the Posl-Dlspatch.

He was with the Ccurler-Journal for luleeri years. His friends will be pleased to know be is the same jolly and eccentric fellow. has a home about four miles from his office and walks to and from his work every day. MaJ. J.

J. Dickinson, an editorial writer on the Republic, Is at present In Jacksonville, with the Sixth Missouri volnteers, which will be probably sent to Cuba, Miss Minnie Underwood Is doing special work and there have been a number of articles signed by her lr the different dailies recently.
