How Lincoln Paid for a Life of Wash- ington. Abraham Lincoln would liked tohave solved puzzles for books; but he could not get them so easy as that. Onco he borrowed a book from a farmer. It was the Iife of Washington. When he | was through Yeading it he laid it be- tween a log where he thought it would be safe. In the night a storm arose and soaked the book. Abraham did not try to get out of it, but took it to the farmer and asked #im how he could pay for it. The farmer said: “You can pull fiber for three days, then the book will be yours.” That i3 the way Abraham Lincoln bought his first. book.
